“Ningabakayihlo udeveli, futhi niyokwenza izinkanuko zikayihlo. Wayengumbulali kwasekuqaleni, futhi akazange ahlale eqinisweni, ngoba iqiniso lingekho kuye. Lapho ekhuluma amanga, ukhuluma okungokwakhe: ngoba ungumqambi manga, noyise wawo. Futhi ngoba nginitshela iqiniso, aningikholwa. … Lowo ongokaNkulunkulu uzwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu: ngakho aniwezwa, ngoba aniyibo abakaNkulunkulu” (UJohane 8: 44-47).

“Ngalokhu yazini uMoya kaNkulunkulu: Wonke umoya ovumayo ukuthi uJesu Kristu uze ngenyama ungokaNkulunkulu: Kanti wonke umoya ongavumi ukuthi uJesu Kristu uze ngenyama awuwona okaNkulunkulu: kanti lowo moya owomphikukristu, enizwile ukuthi kufanele eze; futhi namanje usufikile ezweni” (1 Johane 4:2-3).

“Ngoba abakhohlisi abaningi bangenile ezweni, abangavumi ukuthi uJesu Kristu weza ngenyama. Lo ngumkhohlisi nomphikikristu” (2 Johane 1:7).

Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:

Njengoba ukholwa kuNkulunkulu, kufanele ube nokukholwa kuwo wonke amazwi kaNkulunkulu nakuwo wonke umsebenzi Wakhe. Okusho ukuthi, njengoba ukholwa kuNkulunkulu, kufanele umlalele. Uma ungakwazi ukwenza lokhu, akusho lutho ukuthi uyakholwa kuNkulunkulu noma cha. Uma usukholwe kuNkulunkulu iminyaka eminingi, kodwa ungakaze umlalele noma wemukele wonke amazwi Akhe, kodwa kunalokho ucele uNkulunkulu ukuthi athobele wena futhi alandele imicabango yakho, ngakho uhlubuke ukudlula bonke, futhi awukholwa. Umuntu onjena angakwazi kanjani ukulalela umsebenzi namazwi kaNkulunkulu angahambisani nemicabango yomuntu? Umuntu oyihlongandlebe kunabo bonke umuntu oweyisa futhi amelane noNkulunkulu ngenhloso. Uyisitha sikaNkulunkulu futhi ungumphikikristu. Umuntu onjalo ugcina umoya wobutha njalo mayelana nomsebenzi omusha kaNkulunkulu, akaze akhombise nencane inhloso yokuzithoba, futhi akakaze alalele noma azehlise noma azithobe. Uyazikhukhumeza phambi kwabanye kanti akazithobi nhlobo komunye. Phambi kukaNkulunkulu uzibona enguchwepheshe ekushumayeleni izwi futhi enekhono kakhulu ekusebenzeni kwabanye. Akalingi alahle “amagugu” asenawo, kodwa uwathatha njengezinto zomndeni eziyigugu ezivela kokhokho okufanele zikhonzwe, kushunyayelwe ngazo kwabanye, futhi usebenzisa ukufundisa lezo ziphukuphuku ezimthanda kakhulu. Impela bakhona abantu abanje ebandleni. Kungashiwo ukuthi “bangamaqhawe angenakunqotshwa,” isizukulwane emuva kwesizukulwane bayavakasha endlini kaNkulunkulu. Bacabanga ukuthi ukushumayela izwi (imfundiso) kungumsebenzi wabo osemqoka. Unyaka nonyaka, isizukulwane emuva kwesinye, bawenza ngomdlandla umsebenzi wabo “ocwebileyo nongaphiliseki”. Abekho abalinga ukubathinta futhi abekho abalinga ukuthi babasole obala. Baphenduka “amakhosi” endlini kaNkulunkulu, bephithizela ngenkathi bebusa phezu kwabanye iminyaka ngeminyaka. Leli qulu lamadimoni lifuna ukuhlangana bese ndawonye alibhidlize umsebenzi Wami; ngingabavumela kanjani labo develi abaphilayo babe khona phambi kwamehlo Ami?

Uma befuna uNkulunkulu obonakalayo, bebeyomelana ngokushesha noNkulunkulu noma bathukutheliswe ukungafezeki kwezifiso zabo. Laba abantu abakhohlakalele ukwanelisa izifiso zabo; ababona abantu abaqotho abafuna iqiniso. Abantu abanjalo babizwa ngokuthi ngabantu ababi abalandela uKristu. Labo bantu abangalifuni iqiniso, abanakulikholelwa iqiniso. Phezu kwalokho abakwazi ngokwengeziwe ukubona ikusasa lesintu, ngoba awukho umsebenzi noma amazwi kaNkulunkulu obonakalayo abawakholwayo, futhi ngeke bakholelwe ekusaseni lomuntu. Ngakho, ngisho noma bemlandela uNkulunkulu weqiniso, basakwenza okubi futhi abalifuni iqiniso, abakwenzi nalokho okufunwa iqiniso.

Ukubuya kukaJesu kuyinsindiso enkulu kulabo abakwazi ukwamukela iqiniso, kodwa kulabo abangakwazi ukwamukela iqiniso, kuwuphawo lokwahlulelwa.

Konke okusele ukuthi ulinde ukuba kwenziwe amalungiselelo omngcwabo wakho! Awudingi ukungincenga ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi Ngibe uNkulunkulu wakho, ngoba wenze isono esifanelwe ukufa, isono esingenakuthethelelwa. Noma ngabe bengingaba nomusa kuwe, uNkulunkulu osezulwini uzophikelela nokuthatha impilo yakho, ngenxa yokuthi icala lakho esimweni sikaNkulunkulu aliyona inkinga ejwayelekile, kodwa olohlobo olunzima kakhulu. Uma sesifika isikhathi, ungangisoli ngokuthi angikutshelanga ngaphambili. Konke kubuyela ekuthini: uma uhlobene noKristu—uNkulunkulu osemhlabeni—njengomuntu ojwayelekile, okungukuthi, uma ukholwa ukuthi lo Nkulunkulu akalutho kodwa ngumuntu nje, yilapho-ke uyobhubha khona.
