Ngenxa yokuthi le mingcele ibekwe nguNkulunkulu, izindawo eziningi ziholele enhlalweni nasempilweni eqhubekayo, kanti le nhlalo nempilo eqhubekayo ibe wusizo ezinhlotsheni ezahlukahlukene zezinyoni kanye nezilwane kwaba khona nezindlela zokuqhubeka nokuphila. Ukusukela kulokhu imingcele yezindawo zokuqhubeka nokuphila ezintweni ezahlukahlukene eziphilayo ibe seyiba khona. Lokhu kuyiphuzu lesibili esizokhuluma ngalo ngokulandelayo. Okokuqala, zihlalaphi izinyoni, izilwane kanye nezinambuzane? Ingabe zihlala emahlathini nasemahlokozini? Yizindawo zazo lezi. Ngakho, ngaphandle kokubeka imingcele ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene zomhlaba, uNkulunkulu waphinde wabeka imingcele yezinyoni nezilwane ezahlukahlukene, izinhlanzi, izinambuzane kanye nezitshalo. Waphinda wabeka imithetho. Ngenxa yomahluko ezindaweni ezahlukahlukene zomhlaba kanye nangenxa yobukhona bezindawo ezahlukahlukene emhlabeni, izinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zezinyoni nezilwane, izinhlanzi, izinambuzane, kanye nezitshalo kunezindawo ezahlukahlukene okuqhubeka kuzo nokuphila. Izinyoni kanye nezilwane nezinambuzane kuhlala nezitshalo ezahlukahlukene, izinhlanzi ziphila emanzini, kanti izitshalo zikhula ezweni. Izwe lihlanganisa izindawo ezahlukahlukene ezifana nezintaba, amathafa, kanye namagquma. Lapho izinyoni nezilwane ziba nekhaya lazo elimiyo, azinakulokhu zizulazula, ziya noma ngaphi. Izindawo ezingamakhaya azo ngamahlathi nezintaba. Uma, ngelinye ilanga, izindawo ezingamakhaya azo bezingabhidlizwa, uhlelo beluyoba nesiphithiphithi. Masinyane emva kokuba yisiphithiphithi kwalolu hlelo, iyoba yini imiphumela yalokho? Ngobani abayolimala kuqala? (Ngumuntu.) Ngumuntu! Kule mithetho kanye nemigomo okwenziwe nguNkulunkulu, ngabe ikhona into exakile eniyibonile? Ngokwesibonelo, izindlovu zihamba ogwadule. Nike nakubona lokho? Ukuba bekunjalo, bekuyoba yinto engajwayelekile kakhulu, ngoba izindlovu zihlala kuyo yisehlathini, futhi liyindawo, yokuqhubeka nokuphila eziyilungiselwe nguNkulunkulu. Zinendawo yazo okuphilekayo kuyo kanye nekhaya lalo elimisiweyo, ngakho zingakwenzelani ukuthi ziye le nale? Ukhona oseke wabona amabhubesi nezingwe kuhamba ngasogwini lolwandle? Cha, anikaze nikubone. Ikhaya lamabhubesi nezingwe yihlathi nezintaba. Ukhona oseke wabona imikhoma noma oshaka basolwandle bebhukuda ogwadule? Cha, anikaze nikubone. Imikhoma noshaka kwakha amakhaya akho olwandle. Enhlalweni yabantu, bakhona abantu abahlala ndawonye namabhele ansundu? Bakhona abantu abahlala bezungezwe amapigogo noma ezinye izinyoni, ngaphandle nangaphakathi kwamakhaya abo? Ukhona oseke wabona izinkozi noma amadada asendle edlala nezinkawu? (Cha.) Lokhu kungaba yinto eyisimanga. Isizathu esenza ukuthi ngikhulume ngalezi zinto ezizwakala ziyisimanga ezindlebeni zenu ukuthi nginenze niqonde ukuthi zonke izinto ezadalwa nguNkulunkulu—noma ngabe zigxumekeke endaweni eyodwa noma ziphefumula ngamakhala azo—zinemithetho yazo yokuphila. Esikhathini eside ngaphambi kokuthi uNkulunkulu adale lezi zinto eziphilayo wayesezilungisele izindawo zazo eziyizindawo ezingamakhaya, izimo zezindawo zokuthi zikwazi ukuqhubeka nokuphila. Lezi zinto eziphilayo bezinezindawo zazo ezimiselwe ukuphila kuzo, ukudla kwazo, izindawo zazo ezingamakhaya ezimisiwe, izindawo zazo ezimisiwe ezifanele ukuphila kwazo, izindawo ezinezimo zokushisa ezifanele ukuphila kwazo. Ngaleyo ndlela bezizozulazula noma zikubukele phansi ukuphila komuntu noma lokho okunethonya empilweni yazo. Yindlela lena uNkulunkulu aphatha ngayo zonke izinto, ehlinzeka isintu ngendawo enhle kakhulu yokuphila. Konke okuphilayo phakathi nazo zonke izinto, ngakunye, kunokudla kwakho okokusimamisa ukuphila ezindaweni zakho. Kulokho kudla, kubopheleke ukuba sendaweni yakho yokuzalwa ukuze kukwazi ukuqhubeka nokuphila. Endaweni eyilolo hlobo, kuyaphila, kuyanda, futhi kuqhubekela phambili kulandela imithetho uNkulunkulu akwakhele yona. Ngenxa yalezi zinhlobo zemithetho, ngenxa yokulungiselela kukaNkulunkulu okwandulelayo, zonke izinto ziphila ngokuzwana nesintu, futhi isintu kanye nazo zonke izinto kuyaphilisana.
