453. Izigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi ziwumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokusindisa isintu sewuwonke. Umuntu kufanele awazi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kanye nesimo sikaNkulunkulu emsebenzini wensindiso, futhi ngaphandle kwaleli qiniso, ulwazi lwakho ngoNkulunkulu lungamazwi ayize, aluyilutho ngaphandle kokubeka imibono engasho lutho. Ulwazi olunjalo alukwazi ukugqugquzela noma ukunqoba umuntu, ulwazi olunjalo luphambene nokuyikhona, futhi akusilona iqiniso. Lungaba luningi kakhulu, luphinde lube mnandi uma uluzwa kodwa uma lumelene nesimo sikaNkulunkulu semvelo, ngakho uNkulunkulu ngeke akuhawukele. Ngeke kuphela angaluncomi ulwazi lwakho, kodwa futhi uyoziphindiselela kuwe ngokuba isoni esimhlambalazayo. Amazwi okwazi uNkulunkulu awakhulunywa kalula. Noma ungaba nolimi olulula futhi uyigagu, futhi nakuba amazwi akho ehlakaniphe ngendlela yokuthi uyakwazi ukuthi into emnyama imhlophe futhi emhlophe imnyama, kodwa awunakho okudingekayo uma sekuza ekutheni ukhulume ngolwazi lukaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu akayena lowo ongamehlulela ngamawala, noma umncome ngokunganaki, noma umlulaze ngokunganaki. Uncoma noma ubani nowonke wonke, kepha uyazabalaza ukufika emazwini afanelekile ukuchaza ubukhulu bobuhle nomusa kaNkulunkulu—yilokhu okufundwa izo zonke izehluleki. Nakuba kunochwepheshe bezilimi abaningi abangakwazi ukuchaza uNkulunkulu, ubuqiniso kwalokho abakushoyo, kuncane ngangesilinganiso sekhulu kuneqiniso elikhulunywa abantu baNkulunkulu futhi abanolwazi lwamagama olimi olunomkhawulo, kepha bebe benolwazi nokubona okuningi. Ngakho kuyabonakala ukuthi ulwazi lukaNkulunkulu lutholakala ngokushaya esikhonkosini nokuba yikho uqobo, hhayi ukusetshenziswa kwamagama okuhlakanipha noma ukuba nolwazi lwamagama olimi olunothile, nokuthi ulwazi lomuntu nolwazi lukaNkulunkulu akuhlobene neze. Isifundo sokwazi uNkulunkulu siphakeme ukudlula noma isiphi esesayensi yesintu. Kuyisifundo esingafunyanwa abambalwa kakhulu balabo abafuna ukwazi uNkulunkulu, futhi ngeke kwatholwa inoma umuphi nje umuntu onethalente. Ngakho akufanele nibheke ukwazi uNkulunkulu nokushisekela iqiniso njengokuthi kungamane kwenziwe yingane. Mhlawumbe ube nempumelelo ngokuphelele empilweni yomndeni wakho, noma emsebenzini wakho, noma emshadweni wakho, kodwa uma sekuza eqinisweni, nesifundo sokwazi uNkulunkulu, awunalutho esandleni, awufezanga lutho. Ukwenza iqiniso, kungashiwo, kunzima kakhulu kini, futhi ukwazi uNkulunkulu kuyinkinga enkulu impela. Lokhu ubunzima benu, futhi ubunzima isintu sisonke esibhekene nabo. Phakathi kwalabo ababe nokuphumelela okuthile emkhakheni wokwazi uNkulunkulu, cishe abekho abasezingeni elifanele ncamashi. Umuntu akazi ukuthi kuchaza ukuthini ukwazi uNkulunkulu, noma ukuthi kungani kunesidingo ukwazi uNkulunkulu, noma iliphi izinga elisho ukuthi sewuyamazi uNkulunkulu. Yilokhu okukhungathekisayo esintwini, futhi ngempela nje kuyimpicabadala enkulu kunazo zonke isintu esibhekene nayo—futhi akekho okwazi ukuphendula lo mbuzo, futhi akekho ozimisele ukuphendula lo mbuzo, ngoba, kuze kube namuhla, akekho phakathi kwesintu osewake waba nempumelelo ekufundeni lo msebenzi. Mhlawumbe, uma impicabadala yezigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi isiveziwe esintwini, kuyovela ngokulandelana iqembu labantu abanamathalente abamaziyo uNkulunkulu. Empeleni, ngethemba ukuthi kunjalo, futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, Ngiphezu kwenqubo yokwenza lo msebenzi, futhi ngithemba ukubona ukuvela kwabaningi abanamathalente anjalo maduzane. Bazoba yilabo abafakazela iqiniso lalezi zigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi, futhi, empeleni, bayoba ngabokuqala ukufakaza ngalezi zigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi. Uma abantu abanawo la mathalente anjalo bengekho, ngosuku lokuphela komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, noma kukhona oyedwa noma ababili, futhi bevumile mathupha ukupheleliswa nguNkulunkulu othathe isimo sesintu, akukho okubuhlungu futhi esinokuzisola ngakho okudlula lokhu—nakuba kuyisithombe sesimo esibi kunazo zonke ezingenzeka. Noma kwenzekani, ngisethemba ukuthi lapho abashisekela ngokweqiniso bangasizuza lesi sibusiso. Kusukela ekuqaleni kwesikhathi, awukaze ubekhona umsebenzi onje ngaphambilini, umsebenzi onje awukaze wenzeke emlandweni wokuthuthuka komuntu. Uma ngempela ungaba omunye wabokuqala kulabo abazi uNkulunkulu, ngeke lokhu kube wudumo oluphakeme kakhulu kuzo zonke izidalwa? Singaba khona esinye isidalwa phakathi kwesintu esingathola ukunconywa okukhulu okudlula lokho kuNkulunkulu? Umsebenzi onje awulula ukuwufeza kodwa usayovuna imivuzo ekugcineni. Ngale kobulili noma ubuzwe babo, bonke labo abakwazi ukuthola ulwazi lukaNkulunkulu ekugcineni, bayothola amaqhuzu amakhulu kakhulu kuNkulunkulu, futhi kuyoba yibo kuphela abayoba negunya likaNkulunkulu. Lokhu umsebenzi wanamhlanje, futhi umsebenzi wangesikhathi esizayo; owokugcina, futhi uphakeme kunayo yonke imisebenzi ezofezwa eminyakeni eyizi-6,000 yokusebenza, futhi uyindlela yokusebenza eveza lonke uhlobo lomuntu. Ngomsebenzi wokwenza umuntu ukuthi azi uNkulunkulu, izigaba ezehlukene zabantu ziyavezwa: labo abazi uNkulunkulu bafanelekile ukuthola izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu futhi bemukele izithembiso Zakhe, kuthi labo abangamazi uNkulunkulu abafanelekile ukuthola izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu nokwamukela izithembiso Zakhe. Labo abazi uNkulunkulu bangabangani abakhulu bakaNkulunkulu, kanti labo abangamazi uNkulunkulu angeke babizwa ngabangani abakhulu bakaNkulunkulu; abangani abakhulu bakaNkulunkulu bangathola noma iziphi izibusiso zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa labo abangebona abangani Bakhe abakhulu akufanele bathole noma imiphi yemisebenzi Yakhe. Noma ngabe izinhlupheko, ukucwengwa, noma ukwahlulelwa, konke ngokokuvumela umuntu ukuthola ekugcineni ulwazi lukaNkulunkulu nokuthi umuntu athobele uNkulunkulu. Yilo mphumela kuphela oyofezeka ekugcineni.

454. Izinto nobuyena bukaNkulunkulu, ingqikithi kaNkulunkulu, isimo sikaNkulunkulu—konke sekwenziwe kwaziwa emazwini Akhe esintwini. Lapho ezizwela yena amazwi kaNkulunkulu, umuntu kuyothi ngesikhathi ewenza afike ekuqondeni injongo kaNkulunkulu esemazwini uNkulunkulu awakhulumayo, futhi uyoqonda umthombo nesendlalelo samazwi kaNkulunkulu, futhi aqonde aphinde abe nokwazisa umthelela ohloswe ngamazwi kaNkulunkulu. Kubantu, lezi yizo zonke izinto umuntu okumele azizwe, aziqonde futhi afinyelele kuzo, ukuze afinyelele eqinisweni nokuphila, aqonde izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu, abe ngoguqukile esimweni sakhe, futhi akwazi ukulalela ubukhosi namalungiselelo kaNkulunkulu. Khona ngaleso sikhathi umuntu ezizwela, eqonda, futhi, efinyelela kulezi zinto, kancane kancane uyobe esezuze ukuqonda uNkulunkulu, futhi ngaleso sikhathi uyobe esezuze amazinga ehlukene okwazi Yena. Lokhu kuqonda nokwazi akuveli entweni ethile umuntu ayicabangile noma azenzele yona, kodwa kunalokho kuvela, kulokho akwazisayo, akubonayo, akuzwayo, kanye nalokho akufakazelayo ngaphakathi kuye. Kuphela, kungemuva kokwazisa, ukuzibona, ukuzwa, kanye nokuzifakazela lezi zinto, lapho ulwazi lomuntu ngoNkulunkulu luba nohlonze, ulwazi kuphela lolo aluthole ngalesi sikhathi olungoloqobo, oluyilo futhi oluqinisekile, futhi le nqubo—yokuthola ukuqonda okuyikonakona nolwazi lukaNkulunkulu ngokwazisa, ngokubona, ngokuzwa, nokufakazelana namazwi Akhe—yiyo kanye inhlanganyelo phakathi komuntu noNkulunkulu. Phakathi kwalolu hlobo lwenhlanganyelo, umuntu ufinyelela ngempela ekuqondisiseni nasekubambeni izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu, ufinyelela ngempela ekuqondisiseni nasekwazini izinto nobuyena bukaNkulunkulu, ufinyelela ngempela ekuqondisiseni nasekwazini ingqikithi kaNkulunkulu, ufinyelela kancane kancane ekuqondisiseni nasekwazini isimo sikaNkulunkulu, ufika ekubeni nencazelo eyiyo kanye nesiqiniseko sangempela, ngeqiniso lokubusa kukaNkulunkulu ngaphezu kwakho konke okudaliwe. Futhi uzuza ukuqonda okunohlonze nolwazi ngobunjalo kanye nesikhundla sikaNkulunkulu. Phakathi kwalolu hlobo lokuhlanganyela, umuntu uyaguqula, isinyathelo ngesinyathelo, imibono yakhe ngoNkulunkulu, angabe esamcabanga Yena ngokumsusela phezu kweze, noma azinikezele ezinsolweni anazo Ngaye, noma ukungamqondisisi Yena, noma ukumgxeka Yena, noma enze izahlulelo Ngaye, noma amngabaze Yena. Ngenxa yalokhu, umuntu uyoba nezinkulumo-mpikiswano ezimbalwa noNkulunkulu, uyoba nokuxabana okumbalwa noNkulunkulu, nokuthi uyokuba nezigameko ezimbalwa lapho eyovukela uNkulunkulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukunakekela komuntu nokulalela uNkulunkulu kuyokhula kakhulu, kanti ukuhlonipha kwakhe okukhulu uNkulunkulu, kuyoba ngokoqobo futhi ngokujulile. Phakathi kwalolu hlobo lokuhlanganyela, umuntu ngeke nje kuphela athole iqiniso nokubhapathiswa ekuphileni, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo uyobuye athole ulwazi lweqiniso ngoNkulunkulu. Phakathi kwalolu hlobo lokuhlanganyela, umuntu ngeke nje kuphela aguqulwe esimweni sakhe nasekutholeni insindiso, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo uyobuye athole ukuhlonipha nokudumisa kweqiniso kwesidalwa esidaliwe sikwenza kuNkulunkulu. Ekubeni kade enalolu hlobo lokuhlanganyela, ukholo lomuntu kuNkulunkulu angeke lusaba yinto engazeki, noma isithembiso esinikezwe ngezindebe zomlomo nje, noma uhlobo lokulandela olungenasisekelo nokwenza izithixo; ngalolu hlobo kuphela lokuhlanganyela ukuphila komuntu kuyokhula kufinyelele ekuvuthweni usuku nosuku, futhi yimanje kuphela lapho isimo sakhe siyoguquka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, nokholo lwakhe kuNkulunkulu, kancane kancane, luyodlula ekungaqondakalini kahle nasokholweni olungaqinisekile lube ukulalela ngeqiniso nokunakekela, luze lufinyelele ekuhlonipheni okukhulu ngempela, futhi umuntu uyobuye, endleleni yokulandela uNkulunkulu, kancane kancane aqhubeke asuke esimweni sokuba ongenzi lutho abe sesimweni sokukhuthala, asuke ekubukeni ngendlela embi aye ekubukeni ngendlela enhle; kungalolu hlobo lokuhlanganyela kuphela umuntu ezifinyelela ukuqonda kwangempela kanye nokuqonda uNkulunkulu, ekwazini uNkulunkulu ngeqiniso.
