Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:
Incazelo yokuba sesimweni somuntu ukuthi uNkulunkulu ubonakala enyameni, futhi ufika ezosebenza phakathi kwesintu esidalwe Nguye esesimweni senyama. Ngakho, ukuze uNkulunkulu athathe isimo somuntu, kumele aqale abe yinyama, inyama enobuntu obujwayelekile; lokhu kuyisidingo esibaluleke kakhulu. Eqinisweni, okuqondiwe ngokuthatha isimo somuntu kukaNkulunkulu ukuthi uNkulunkulu uphila futhi asebenze enyameni, uNkulunkulu engqikithini Yakhe uqobo uthatha umzimba wenyama, uba ngumuntu.
Kucashunwe “Ingqikithi Yenyama Ehlalwe UNkulunkulu” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni
Ukuba uNkulunkulu abe sesimweni somuntu kusho ukuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu uba yinyama, okuwukuthi, uNkulunkulu uba yinyama; umsebenzi awenza enyameni umsebenzi kaMoya, owenzeka enyameni, oboniswa yinyama. Akekho umuntu ongakwazi ukufeza inkonzo eyenziwa uNkulunkulu osemzimbeni wenyama ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu; okuwukuthi, uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kuphela, lobu buntu obujwayelekile—hhayi futhi omunye umuntu—angabonakalisa umsebenzi wobunkulunkulu.

UKristu onobuntu obujwayelekile uyinyama okuyilapho uMoya ubonakala khona, unobuntu obujwayelekile, umqondo kanye nokucabanga komuntu okujwayelekile. “Ukubonakalisa” kusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu uba ngumuntu, uMoya uba yinyama; ukukubeka kucace, kuba yilapho uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe ehlala enyameni enobuntu obujwayelekile, futhi ngayo, eveza umsebenzi Wakhe wobuNkulunkulu—yilokho okushiwo ukubonakala noma ukuthatha isimo somzimba womuntu.
Kucashunwe “Ingqikithi Yenyama Ehlalwe UNkulunkulu” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni
UNkulunkulu waba inyama eyabizwa ngokuthi uKristu, futhi okuwuKristu okwazi ukunika abantu iqiniso elibizwa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu. Akukho okukhulu ngalokhu, ngoba uqukethe isiqu sikaNkulunkulu, futhi uqukethe isimo sikaNkulunkulu, kanye nobuhlakani emsebenzini Wakhe, umuntu angekuthole. Labo abazibiza ngoKristu, kepha bengakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, bangabakhohlisi. UKristu akasikho nje ukubonakaliswa kukaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, kodwa futhi uyinyama embethwe uNkulunkulu njengoba ephethe futhi eqedela umsebenzi Wakhe kubantu. Le nyama akusiyo leyo endawo yayo ingathathwa yinoma imuphi umuntu, kodwa yileyo engathwala umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngendlela egculisayo emhlabeni, futhi ibonakalisa isimo sikaNkulunkulu, futhi inika abantu ukuphila.
Kucashunwe “UKristu Wezinsuku Zokugcina Kuphela Onganika Umuntu Indlela Yokuphila Ingunaphakade” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni
Okuqondiwe ngokuthatha isimo somuntu kukaNkulunkulu ukuthi uNkulunkulu uphila futhi asebenze enyameni, uNkulunkulu engqikithini Yakhe uqobo uthatha umzimba wenyama, uba ngumuntu. Ukuphila Kwakhe esengumuntu nokusebenza kuhlukaniswa izigaba ezimbili. Esokuqala, yimpilo ayiphilayo ngaphambi kokuba enze inkonzo Yakhe. Uphila emndenini ojwayelekile wabantu, ebuntwini obujwayeleke kakhulu impela, elalela imithetho yokuziphatha kanye nemithetho ejwayelekile yokuphila komuntu, enezidingo zomuntu ezijwayelekile (ukudla, okokugqoka, indawo yokuhlala, ukulala), ubuthakathaka bomuntu obujwayelekile kanye nemizwa yomuntu ejwayelekile. Ngamanye amazwi, kulesi sigaba sokuqala uphila impilo engenabo ubunkulunkulu, enobuntu obujwayeleke ngokuphelele, owenza zonke izinto ezenziwa abantu abajwayelekile. Isigaba sesibili siwukuphila Kwakhe ngemva kokuqala ukwenza inkonzo Yakhe. Usaphila ebuntwini obujwayelekile enomzimba womuntu ojwayelekile, angawabonisi nakancane amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo. Nokho uphila kuphela ngenxa yenkonzo Yakhe, futhi kulesi sikhathi ubuntu Bakhe obujwayelekile bukhona ngokuphelele ukuze kwenzeke umsebenzi ojwayelekile wobuNkulunkulu Bakhe; ngoba ngaleso sikhathi ubuntu Bakhe obujwayelekile sebukhule baze bafika ezingeni lokuthi bungakwazi ukwenza inkonzo Yakhe. Ngakho-ke isigaba sesibili sokuphila Kwakhe siwukwenza inkonzo Yakhe esebuntwini obujwayelekile, kungukuphila kwakhe kokubili kobuntu obujwayelekile nobunkulunkulu obuphelele. Isizathu sokuthi, ngesikhathi sesigaba sokuqala sokuphila Kwakhe, uphila ebuntwini obujwayeleke ngokuphelele wukuthi ubuntu Bakhe busuke bungakalingani nomsebenzi wobuNkulunkulu obuphelele, kusuke kungakavuthwa; kuba kuphela ngemuva kokukhula kobuntu Bakhe, sebukwazi ukuthwala inkonzo Yakhe, lapho angaqalisa khona ukwenza inkonzo Yakhe. Njengoba Yena, eyinyama, edinga ukuthi akhule futhi avuthwe, isigaba sokuqala sokuphila Kwakhe siwubuntu obujwayelekile, kanti esigabeni sesibili, ngenxa yokuthi ubuntu Bakhe buyakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi Wakhe nokwenza inkonzo Yakhe, ukuphila kukaNkulunkulu esimweni somuntu akuphila ngesikhathi senkonzo Yakhe kuyikho kokubili okobuntu nobuNkulunkulu obuphelele. Ukuba kusukela ekuzalweni Kwakhe uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu waqala inkonzo Yakhe ngokuzimisela, enza izibonakaliso kanye nezimangaliso ezingaphezu kwamandla emvelo, khona-ke wayengeke abe nengqikithi yomzimba. Ngakho-ke, ubuntu Bakhe bukhona ngenxa yengqikithi yomzimba Wakhe; ngeke kube khona inyama ngaphandle kobuntu, futhi umuntu ongenabo ubuntu akayena umuntu. Ngale ndlela, ubuntu benyama kaNkulunkulu buyingxenye esemqoka yenyama kaNkulunkulu ethathe isimo somuntu. Ukuthi “lapho uNkulunkulu eba sesimweni somuntu usuke enobunkulunkulu ngokuphelele, akayena nhlobo umuntu,” kuwukuhlambalaza ngoba ngeke ukwazi ukuma kulo mbono, okuyinto eyephula umgomo wokuba sesimweni somuntu. Ngisho nangemva kokuba eqale inkonzo Yakhe, ubuNkulunkulu Bakhe bulokhu buhleli emkhakheni wangaphandle womuntu lapho enza umsebenzi Wakhe; ukuthi nje ngaleso sikhathi, ubuntu Bakhe bufeza kuphela injongo yokuvumela ubunkulunkulu Bakhe ukuba benze umsebenzi enyameni ejwayelekile. Ngakho umenzi womsebenzi ubunkulunkulu obuhlala ebuntwini Bakhe. UbuNkulunkulu Bakhe, hhayi ubuntu Bakhe obusebenzayo, kepha ubunkulunkulu obufihlwe ngaphakathi ebuntwini Bakhe; umsebenzi Wakhe wenziwa empeleni ngubunkulunkulu Bakhe obuphelele, hhayi ubuntu Bakhe. Kodwa umenzi womsebenzi yinyama Yakhe. Umuntu angathi ungumuntu futhi unguNkulunkulu, ngoba uNkulunkulu uba nguNkulunkulu ophila enyameni, ebukeka njengomuntu ngaphandle futhi enengqikithi yobuntu kodwa futhi nengqikithi kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba ungumuntu onobuNkulunkulu, ungaphezu kwabo bonke abantu abadaliwe, ngaphezu kwawo wonke umuntu ongenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Futhi phakathi kwalabo ababukeka njengaye, phakathi kwabo bonke abanobuntu, Nguye kuphela onguNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uqobo Lwakhe—bonke abanye bangabantu abadaliwe. Nakuba bonke benobuntu, abantu abadaliwe akukho okunye abayikho ngaphandle kobuntu, kanti uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu Yena uhlukile: Enyameni Yakhe akanabo kuphela ubuntu kodwa okubaluleke nakakhulu unobunkulunkulu. Ubuntu Bakhe buyabonakala ngokubukeka kwangaphandle kwenyama Yakhe nasekuphileni Kwakhe kwansuku zonke kodwa ubuNkulunkulu Bakhe kunzima ukubuqonda. Ngenxa yokuthi ubuNkulunkulu Bakhe buboniswa kuphela enobuntu futhi abunawo amandla angaphezu kwemvelo njengoba abantu bebucabanga, kunzima kakhulu ukuba abantu bakubone. Ngisho nanamuhla kunzima kakhulu ukuthi abantu baqonde imfihlakalo yengqikithi yangempela kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Eqinisweni, nangemva kokukhuluma okungaka ngakho, ngilindele ukuba kube yimfihlakalo eningini lenu. Le ndaba ilula kakhulu: Njengoba uNkulunkulu eba, ingqikithi Yakhe iyinhlanganisela yobuntu nobunkulunkulu. Le nhlanganisela ibizwa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe, uNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe emhlabeni.

Impilo eyaphilwa uJesu emhlabeni kwakuyimpilo ejwayelekile yenyama. Waphila ebuntwini obujwayelekile benyama Yakhe. Igunya Lakhe—ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu nokukhuluma izwi likaNkulunkulu, noma ukuphulukisa abagulayo nokuxosha amadimoni, ukwenza lezo zinto ezingajwayelekile—akuzange kuzibonakalise, isikhathi esiningi, kwaze kwaba yilapho aqala khona inkonzo Yakhe. Impilo Yakhe ngaphambi kweminyaka yobudala engamashumi amabili nesishiyagalolunye, ngaphambi kokuba enze inkonzo Yakhe, yayingubufakazi ngokwanele ukuthi wayesesimweni somuntu ejwayelekile nje. Ngenxa yalokhu, nangenxa yokuthi wayengakaqali ukwenza inkonzo Yakhe, abantu ababonanga bunkulunkulu Kuye, ababonanga lutho ngaphandle komuntu ojwayelekile nje, indoda ejwayelekile—njengoba ngaleso sikhathi abantu babekholwa ukuthi wayeyindodana kaJosefa. Abantu babecabanga ukuthi wayeyindodana yomuntu ojwayelekile, babengenayo indlela yokubona ukuthi wayeyinyama kaNkulunkulu ethathe isimo somuntu; ngisho nalapho enza khona inkonzo Yakhe, wenza imimangaliso eminingi, abantu abaningi babesalokhu bethi uyindodana kaJosefa, ngoba wayenguKristu onesimo sangaphandle sobuntu obujwayelekile. Ubuntu Bakhe obujwayelekile kanye nomsebenzi Wakhe kokubili kwaba khona ukuze kugcwaliseke ukubaluleka kokuthatha isimo somuntu kokuqala, kufakazela ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayefike enyameni ngokuphelele, wayebe ngumuntu ojwayelekile ngempela. Ukuthi wayenobuntu obujwayelekile ngaphambi kokuba aqale umsebenzi Wakhe kwakungubufakazi bokuthi wayeyinyama ejwayelekile; nokuthi wasebenza emva kwalokho nakho kwabonisa ukuthi wabe eyinyama ejwayelekile, ngoba wenza izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, waphulukisa abagulayo futhi waxosha amadimoni enyameni enobuntu obujwayelekile. Isizathu sokuthi akwazi ukwenza izimangaliso sasiwukuthi inyama Yakhe yayinegunya likaNkulunkulu, kwakuyinyama okwakumbozwe ngayo uMoya kaNkulunkulu. Wayenaleli gunya ngenxa kaMoya kaNkulunkulu, futhi kwakungasho ukuthi wayengeyona inyama. Ukuphulukisa abagulayo nokuxosha amadimoni kwakuwumsebenzi ayedinga ukuba awenze enkonzweni Yakhe, isibonakaliso sobuNkulunkulu Bakhe obufihleke ebuntwini Bakhe, futhi akukhathaleki ukuthi yiziphi izibonakaliso azibonakalisa nokuthi walikhombisa kanjani igunya Lakhe, wayesaphila ebuntwini obujwayelekile futhi wayeseyinyama ejwayelekile. Kuze kufike lapho avuswa khona ngemva kokufa esiphambanweni, wayephila enyameni ejwayelekile. Ukunika umusa, ukuphulukisa abagulayo nokuxosha amadimoni konke kwakuyingxenye yenkonzo Yakhe, kwakungumsebenzi awenza enyameni yomuntu ejwayelekile. Ngaphambi kokuba aye esiphambanweni, akazange ashiye inyama Yakhe yomuntu ejwayelekile, kungakhathaleki ukuthi yini ayeyenza. WayenguNkulunkulu uqobo, enza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu siqu, kepha ngenxa yokuthi wayeyinyama kaNkulunkulu ethathe isimo somuntu, wayedla ukudla, egqoka izingubo, enezidingo zomuntu ezijwayelekile, enokucabanga komuntu okujwayelekile kanye nomqondo womuntu ojwayelekile. Konke lokhu kwakuwubufakazi bokuthi wayengumuntu ojwayelekile, okwakubonisa ukuthi inyama ethathe isimo somuntu kaNkulunkulu kwakuyinyama enobuntu obujwayelekile, hhayi obungaphezu kwamandla emvelo.

Nokho, ngenkathi yesikhathi esiphakathi kokudalwa komhlaba kanye nokuphela kweNkathi yoMthetho, okusho ukuthi, ngaphambi kweNkathi yoMusa, lokho okwabonwa, abakuzwa, futhi nabadlule kukho abantu kwakuyi ngxenye yobunkulunkulu bukaNkulunkulu kuphela. Kwakuyi lokho uNkulunkulu akwenzile nakushilo embusweni ongaphatheki ngezandla, nezinto Azivezayo emuntwini Wakhe wangempela ezingeke zabonakala noma zathintwa. Ngokuvamile, lezi zinto zenza ukuba abantu bezwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu Mkhulu, futhi babengeke bakwazi ukusondela Kuye.

Ngenkathi uPetru ebizelwe ukulandela[b] uJesu, uJesu wambuza, “Simoni, ndodana kaJona, uzongilandela na?” UPetru wayesethi, “Kumele ngilandele lowo othunyelwe uBaba osezulwini. Kufanele ngamukele lowo okhethwe uMoya oNgcwele. Ngizokulandela.” Emazwini akhe, kuyabonakala ukuthi uPetru wayengenalwazi ngoJesu; ubewabonile amazwi kaNkulunkulu, amsebenzile, futhi wabhekana nobunzima ngoNkulunkulu, kodwa ubengawazi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu.

Ezingxoxweni, uJesu wayenobungani, enomusa, engeneka, emnene futhi kumnandi ukuba naye, kodwa akazange alahlekelwe isithunzi Sakhe nesomsebenzi Wakhe. UPetru waphawula ukuthi kwakuba nezikhathi lapho uJesu ayengakhulumi khona kakhulu, futhi ngezinye izikhathi lapho ayexoxa khona ngokukhululeka. Ngezinye izikhathi wayejabula kakhulu abe umqemane njengejuba, kodwa futhi ngezinye izikhathi wayedangala ngezinga lokuthi aze engakhulumi nhlobo, kube sengathi ungumama olinyazwe yisimo sezulu. Ngezinye izikhathi wayethukuthela, njengesosha elinesibindi elilungele ukuyobulala izitha, ngezinye izikhathi wayeba ngisho njengebhubesi elibhongayo. Ngezinye izikhathi wayehleka; ngezinye izikhathi wayethandaza futhi akhale. Akukhathalisekile ukuthi uJesu wayenzani, lokho kwenza uPetru waba nothando kanye nokumhlonipha okungenamkhawulo. Uhleko lukaJesu lwamenza waphuphuma injabulo, ukudabuka Kwakhe kwamenza waba nosizi, intukuthelo Yakhe yayimethusa, kuyilapho umusa, ukuthethelela nokuqina Kwakhe kwenza ukuba amthande ngempela uJesu, kwakhulisa indlela ayemazisa ngayo.

Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:
Namuhla uNkulunkulu uyasahlulela, futhi anisole, futhi anilahle, kodwa yazi ukuthi ukulahlwa kwakho kwenzelwa ukuba ukwazi ukuzazi. Ukulahlwa, isiqalekiso, isahlulelo, ukusolwa konke lokhu kwenzelwa ukuba uzazi, ukuze isimo sakho sikwazi ukuguquka, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuze uzazi ukuthi ubaluleke kangakanani, futhi ubone ukuthi zonke izenzo zikaNkulunkulu zilungile, futhi zihambisana nesimo Sakhe nezidingo zomsebenzi Wakhe, ukuthi usebenza ngokuhambisana necebo Lakhe lensindiso yabantu, futhi ukuthi unguNkulunkulu olungileyo othanda abantu, nosindisa abantu, owahlulela futhi asole abantu. Uma nje bewazi ukuthi unesikhudla esiphansi, nokuthi ukhohlakele futhi awulaleli, kodwa awazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufisa ukucacisa insindiso Yakhe ngokwahlulela nokusola akwenza kuwe namuhla, ngeke ube nayo indlela yokuzwa, okungenani ukwazi ukuqhubekela phambili. UNkulunkulu akezelanga ukuzobulala, noma ukubhubhisa, kodwa ukukwahlulela, ukusola, nokusindisa. Ngaphambi kokuphothula uhlelo Lwakhe lokuphatha oluneminyaka engu-6000 ngaphambi kokuba acacise isiphetho sesigaba ngasinye sabantu. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu emhlabeni ungenxa yensindiso, konke kwenzelwa ukwenza labo abamthandayo baphelele ngokugcwele, nokubabuyisela embusweni Wakhe. Noma ngabe iyiphi indlela uNkulunkulu asindisa ngayo abantu, konke kwenzelwa ukuthi bahlukane nemvelo kaSathane endala; okungukuthi, ubasindisa ngokubenza bafune impilo. Uma ungafuni ukuphila ngeke ube nendlela yokwamukela insindiso kaNkulunkulu. Insindiso umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe futhi ukufuna impilo yinto abantu okufanele babe nayo ukuze bamukele insindiso. Emehlweni abantu, insindiso iluthando lukaNkulunkulu, futhi uthando lukaNkulunkulu alikona ukusola, ukwahlulela, nokuqalekisa; insindiso kufanele ibe nothando, ububele, futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, amazwi enduduzo, futhi kufanele lube nezibusiso ezingenamkhawulo oziphiwa uNkulunkulu. Abantu bakholelwa ukuthi uma uNkulunkulu esindisa abantu ukwenza lokhu ngokubathinta futhi abenze banikele ngezinhliziyo zabo kuYe, ngezibusiso nomusa Wakhe. Okungukuthi, uma ethinta abantu uyabasindisa. Insindiso enjengale yinsindiso lapho kunokuhweba okuqhubekayo. Uma nje uNkulunkulu ekupha kona kuphinda phindwe ngamakhulu lapho abantu bengena ngaphansi kwegama likaNkulunkulu, futhi bazame ukwenza kahle kuNkulunkulu futhi bamnike udumo. Lokhu akuyona intando kaNkulunkulu kubantu. UNkulunkulu ufike emhlabeni ukuzosebenza ukuze asindise abantu abakhohlakele—awekho amanga kulokhu; uma kungenjalo, ngokuqinisekile ngeke azokwenza umsebenzi Wakhe ngoKwakhe. Ngaphambilini, indlela Yakhe yensindiso yayikhombisa uthando olukhulu nesihe, kanjalo wanikeza uSathane konke okwakhe ngokushintshisana ukuze azuze abantu bonke. Namuhla akufani nesikhathi sangaphambili: Namuhla, insindiso yenu yenzeka ngezinsuku zokugcina, ngesikhathi kuhlewa ngamunye ngokwemvelo yakhe; izindlela zensindiso yakhoazilona uthando noma isihe, kodwa ukusola nesahlulelo, nesihawu sokushaya, kodwa nazi ukuthi kulokhu kushaya okungenanhliziyo asikho isijeziso nesincane, nikwazi lokho kungakhathaliseki ukuthi amazwi Ami alukhuni kangakanani, okwehlela kunina kungamagama nje alukhuni kakhulu kunina, nazi ukuthi, akukhathaliseki ukuthi lukhulu kangakanani ulaka Lwami, okwehlela nina kusangamazwi emfundiso Yami, akuyona inhloso yami ukunilimaza, noma ukunibhubhisa. Akulona iqiniso leli? Nazi ukuthi namhlanje, noma isahlulelo esilungile noma ukungabi nanhliziyo noma ukusola, konke kungenxa yensindiso. Akukhathaliseki noma namuhla kunohlelo lomuntu ngamunye ngokwemvelo yakhe, noma ukuveza obala izinhlobo zabantu, zonke izinkulumo zikaNkulunkulu ngomsebenzi zenzelwa ukusindisa labo abamthanda ngokweqiniso uNkulunkulu. Isahlulelo esilungile senzelwa ukuhlanza abantu, ukulungiswa kwenhliziyo embi kwenzelwa ukuhlanzwa kwabantu, amazwi alukhuni noma ukusola konke kwenzelwa ukuhlanza, nangenxa yensindiso. Futhi, indlela yensindiso ayifani nesikhathi esedlule. Namuhla, isahlulelo esilungile siyakusindisa, futhi yithuluzi elihle lokunihlukanisa ngamunye ngokwemvelo yakhe, ukusola ngonya kuletha insindiso ephakeme kakhulu—futhi uzothini uma usubhekene nobuso bokusola nesahlulelo? Awuyijabulelanga insindiso kusukela eqaleni kuze sekugcineni? Nimbonile uNkulunkulu esimweni somuntu futhi nabona engumninimandla onke nabona nobuhlakani bakhe, ngaphezu kwalokho, nizwile ukushawa ngokuphindiwe nokuyalwa. Kodwa aniwutholanga umusa omkhulu na? Izibusiso zenu azizinkulu ukwedlula abanye na? Umusa wenu mkhulu kunodumo negcebo eyajatshulelwa uSolomoni! Cabanga: uma inhloso Yami yokuza bekungukuzonisola nokunijezisa, hhayi ukunisindisa, kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi izinsuku zenu zifinyelele esikhathini eside kangaka? Beningakwazi yini nina, zidalwa ezinesono zenyama negazi, ukusinda nibe khona namuhla? Uma inhloso bekungukunijezisa, bengizophendukelani ngibe ngokwenyama futhi ngiqale umsebenzi omkhulu kangaka? Ingabe ngeke kuthathe nje izwi elilodwa ukunijesiza nina bantu? Ngingaba semqondweni wokunibhubhisa ngemva kokunisola? Aniwakholwa yini la mazwi Ami namanje na? Ngingahlenga abantu ngothando nesihawu? Noma Ngingasebenzisa ukubethelwa ukuhlenga abantu? Ingabe imvelo Yami elungileyo ayingcono yini ukwenza abantu bangilalele ngokuphelele. Ingabe iyakwazi ukuhlengisisa abantu kangcono?
Nakuba amazwi Ami eqinile, akhulunyelwa insindiso yabantu, njengoba ngikhuluma amazwi futhi ngingajezisi inyama yabantu. La mazwi enza abantu baphile ekukhanyeni, ukuba nazi ukuthi ukukhanya kukhona, ukuba nazi ukuthi ukukhanya kuyigugu, ikakhulu nazi inzuzo yala mazwi kubantu, nokwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyinsindiso. Nakuba sengiwakhulumile amazwi amaningi okusola nesahlulelo, akenzelwanga nina. Ngize ukuzokwenza umsebenzi Wami, nokukhuluma amazwi Ami, nakuba amazwi Ami eqinile, akhulunywa ukuze ahlulele inkohlakalo yenu nokuhlubuka kwenu. Inhloso Yami yokwenza lokhu kusangukusindisa abantu, inhloso Yami akusiko ukulimaza abantu ngamazwi Ami. Amazwi Ami aqinile ukuze kube khona imiphumela efezwa umsebenzi Wami. Kungokusebenza ngale ndlela kuphela lapho abantu bengakwazi khona ukuzazi futhi bengahlukana nesimo sabo sokuhlubuka. Okubaluleke kakhulu ngalo msebenzi wamazwi ukuvumela abantu ukuthi benze iqiniso ngemva kokuliqondisisa, banze izinguquko esimweni sabo, futhi bazuze ulwazi ngabo uqobo nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Ukusebenza ngokukhuluma kungaveza ubudlelwane phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu, amazwi kuphela angakwazi ukuchaza iqiniso. Ukusebenza ngale ndlela kuyindlela elunge kakhulu ekunqobeni abantu; ngaphandle kwamazwi. Ayikho enye indela yokunikeza abantu ukuqonda kweqiniso okucace kangconywana nonsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke esigabeni Sakhe sokugcina somsebenzi, uNkulunkulu ukhuluma kubantu ukuze avulele umuntu wonke amaqiniso nezimfihlakalo abangaziqondi, ubavumela ukuthi bazuze indlela eyiqiniso nempilo evela kuNkulunkulu, nokwanelisa intando kaNkulunkulu.

Nakuba umuntu esekhululiwe futhi wathethelelwa izono zakhe, kubhekwa kuphela uNkulunkulu engakhumbuli izono zomuntu futhi engamphathi umuntu ngokwezono zakhe. Nokho, lapho umuntu ephila esenyameni futhi engakhululiwe esonweni, angase aqhubeke nesono, alokhu eqhubeka embula ukonakala kwesimo sobusathane. Yile mpilo umuntu ayiphilayo, umjikelezo ongapheli wokona nokuthethelelwa. Iningi labantu liyona emini livume izono ntambama. Ngaleyo ndlela, ngisho umnikelo wesono uhlezi usebenza kumuntu, awukwazi ukumsindisa umuntu esonweni. Kusaqedwe ingxenye kuphela yomsebenzi ngoba umuntu usenesimo esonakele.

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?

Ukumelana kwenu noNkulunkulu kanye nokuvimbela umsebenzi woMoya oNgcwele kudalwa imibono yenu kanye nokukhukhumala okusemvelweni yenu. Akukhona ukuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu awulunganga, kodwa yingoba anilaleli kakhulu ngokwemvelo.

Lo mehluko wenziwa ukuthi uKristu akayena owenyama negazi kodwa usesimweni somuntu kaMoya. Unesimo sobuntu obujwayelekile nobunkulunkulu obuphelele. Akekho umuntu onobunkulunkulu Bakhe.

Njengoba ayethandaza, uJesu wabiza uNkulunkulu ezulwini ngokuthi Baba, lokhu wakwenza esesimweni somuntu odaliwe, ngoba kuphela uMoya kaNkulunkulu wawembethe inyama ejwayelekile nevamile futhi embeswe isimo somuntu. Nakuba ngaphakathi wayenoMoya kaNkulunkulu ngaphandle wayengumuntu ovamile; ngamanye amazwi, wayesephenduke “iNdodana yomuntu” okungukuthi futhi bonke abantu bakhuluma, kuhlanganise naye uJesu Uqobo, njengoba ebizwa ngeNdodana yomuntu, ungumuntu (ngabe umuntu wesilisa noma wesifazane, kunoma yikuphi onesimo sangaphandle somuntu) ozalelwe emndenini nakubantu abajwayelekile. Ngakho-ke, ukubiza kukaJesu uNkulunkulu ezulwini ngokuthi Baba, kuyefana nalapho wena umbiza ngokuthi Baba; Lokho wakusho esesimweni somuntu. Uyawukhumbula uMthandazo weNkosi, uJesu akufundisa ukuba uwubambe ngekhanda? “Baba wethu osezulwini….” Kulo mthandazo, uJesu watshela bonke ukuba babize uNkulunkulu osezulwini ngoBaba. Futhi, njengoba naye umbiza ngoBaba, wakusho lokhu ngokombono noma esesimweni sokulingana nani nonke. Njengoba nani nibiza uNkulunkulu ezulwini ngoBaba, lokhu kubonisa ukuthi uJesu wazilinganisa nani, futhi njengomuntu wasemhlabeni owayekhethwe uNkulunkulu (okungukuthi, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu). Uma ubiza uNkulunkulu “ngoBaba,” akukona yini ukuthi umbiza ngoba wena uyisidalwa? Noma kunjalo, naphezu kwegunya uJesu ayenalo ngaphambi kokuba abethelwe, wayemane eyiNdodana yomuntu, eqondiswa uMoya kaNkulunkulu (okungukuthi, uNkulunkulu), njengesinye sezidalwa zasemhlabeni, ngoba wayengakawuqedi umsebenzi wakhe. Ngakho-ke, ukuthobeka nokulalela kuphela okwamgqugquzela ukuba abize uNkulunkulu osezulwini ngoBaba. Nokho, ngokubiza uNkulunkulu (okungukuthi, uMoya osezulwini) ngaleyo ndlela, akusho ukuthi uyiNdodana yoMoya kaNkulunkulu osezulwini. Kunalokho, kumane kusho ukuthi umbono wakhe wehlukile, hhayi kodwa ukuthi ungumuntu owehlukile. Imfundiso yokuthi kunabantu abehlukile ingamanga! Ngaphambi kokuba abethelwe, uJesu wayeseyiNdodana yomuntu ebhekene nokulinganiselwa kwenyama, engenalo igunya eliphelele loMoya. Yingakho ayenza intando kaNkulunkulu uYise ngokombono wesidalwa senyama. Yingakho athandaza kathathu eGetsemane: “Kungabi ngokuthanda Kwami, kodwa ngokuthanda Kwakho.” Ngaphambi kokuba afe esiphambanweni, wayeseyiNkosi, kodwa iNkosi yamaJuda; wayenguKristu, iNdodana yomuntu, kodwa engenawo umzimba wenkazimulo. Yingakho ngokombono womuntu abiza uNkulunkulu ngoBaba.

Kusekhona nalabo abathi, “UNkulunkulu akashongo yini ngokusobala ukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana Yakhe ethandekayo?” UJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ethandekayo, ajabula kakhulu ngayo—lokhu kwakhulunywa nguNkulunkulu Uqobo. Empeleni uNkulunkulu wayekhuluma Ngaye, ngendlela eyehlukile, kufana ngokuthi uMoya osezulwini unikeza ubufakazi bukaNkulunkulu esesimweni somuntu Ngokwakhe. UJesu enguNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu Ngokwakhe, hhayi iNdodana Yakhe esezulwini. Uyakuqonda lokho? La mazwi kaJesu athi: “NgikuBaba, noBaba uKimina,” awasho yini ukuthi banguMoya owodwa? Akukona yini ukuthi ngokwesimo somuntu sikaNkulunkulu wazihlukanisela ezulwini nasemhlabeni? Eqinisweni, bamunye; kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isimo sinjani, kumanje nje kunguNkulunkulu ofakaza ngaye Ngokwakhe. Uyaziguqula ngokushintsha kwenkathi ngayinye, ngokuya kwemfuneko yomsebenzi ngokwezigaba ezehlukahlukene ngokwentando Yakhe, njengoba namagama abantu abambiza ngawo nawo eshintsha. Lapho eqala isigaba sokuqala somsebenzi Wakhe, wayebizwa ngokuthi uJehova, uMalusi wama-Israyeli. Esigabeni sesibili, yawebizwa ngokuthi iNkosi noKristu. Kodwa ngaleso sikhathi, uMoya osezulwini wathi uyiNdodana ethandekayo kaNkulunkulu, awushongo ukuthi uwukuphela kweNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Lokhu akwenzekanga. UNkulunkulu angaba kanjani nomntwana oyedwa? Ingabe uNkulunkulu waphenduka waba umuntu? Ngenxa yokuthi wayekwesinye isimo, wayebizwa ngokuthi yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu ethandekayo, ngenxa yalokhu, kube sekuvela ubuhlobo phakathi kukaYise neNdodana. Lokhu kwakubangelwa ukwehlukana kwezulu nomhlaba. UJesu wathandaza esesimweni senyama. Njengoba ayembethe inyama yobuntu obujwayeleke kangaka, wakhuluma la mazwi esesimweni somuntu: “Umzimba wami ufana nodaliwe. Njengoba ngembatha wona ukuze ngize emhlabeni, manje ngikude kakhulu nezulu.” Ngenxa yaleso sizathu, wayengathandaza kuNkulunkulu uYise esesimweni sokuba wumuntu. Lona kwakungumsebenzi Wakhe, ukuze kufezeke injongo kaNkulunkulu. Ngeke sithi akayena uNkulunkulu ngenxa yokuthi wathandaza kuYise esesimweni somuntu. Nakuba ebizwa ngeNdodana kaNkulunkulu ethandekayo, usenguye uNkulunkulu, usesimweni sokuba wuMoya futhi uyingxenye yawo.

Abantu, abakhohlakele bonke bahlala ogibeni lukaSathane, baphila enyameni, baphila ezifisweni zokuzifunela, futhi akekho namunye phakathi kwabo ofanelana Nami. Kunalabo abathi bafanelana Nami, kodwa bonke badumisa izithixo ezingabonakali. Yize bevuma ukuthi igama Lami lingcwele, bahamba endleleni ephambana Nami, kanti amazwi abo agcwele ukuzidla nokuzethemba, ngoba, ekuqaleni baphambana Nami, futhi abafanelani Nami. Nsuku zonke bafuna imikhondo Yami eBhayibhelini bathole izingxenye “ezifanele” benganakile abazifunda bangaqedi bese bezisho “njengemibhalo”. Abakwazi ukuthi bafanelane Nami, abazi ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukungazwani Nami, baphinde bafunde “imibhalo” ngokunganaki. Bazicindezela ngeBhayibheli kuNkulunkulu ongabonakali abangakaze bambone, futhi abangeke bakwazi ukumbona, bazinikeze isikhathi sokubheka esikhathini sabo esiseceleni.

Emuva kwalokho, isigaba sesibili somsebenzi ngeNkathi yoMusa sasiphathelene nokushintsha isimo somuntu esidala, okusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe wasebenza impilo yomuntu. Lokhu kwakudingeka kwenziwe nguNkulunkulu mathupha: kwakufuneka ukuthi uNkulunkulu mathupha athathe isimo sesintu, futhi uma ubengasithatha isimo sesintu, akekho ubengathatha indawo Yakhe kulesi sigaba somsebenzi, ngoba sasimele umsebenzi wokulwa ngqo noSathane. Uma umuntu ubenzele uNkulunkulu lo msebenzi, lapho umuntu esemile phambi kwaSathane, uSathane ubengeke athobe kuthi bekungenakwenzeka ukumehlula. Kwakudingeka kube uNkulunkulu ethathe isimo sesintu owayezofika amehlule, ngoba ingqikithi kaNkulunkulu othathe isimo somuntu, kusenguNkulunkulu, useyimpilo yomuntu, futhi usenguMdali; noma kwenzekani, ubunjalo nengqikithi Yakhe ngeke kushintshe. Ngakho-ke, Wathatha isimo sesintu futhi wenza umsebenzi ukudala ukuzithoba okuphelele kukaSathane. Ngesikhathi sesigaba somsebenzi wasezinsukwini zokugcina, uma umuntu ubengenza lo msebenzi futhi uma ubengenziwa ukuthi akhulume amazwi ngqo, ubengeke akwazi ukuwakhuluma, futhi uma isiprofetho besishiwo, besingeke sikwazi ukunqoba umuntu. Ngokuthatha isimo sesintu, uNkulunkulu uyeza ukuzohlula uSathane nokudala ukuzithoba kwakhe okuphelele. Lapho ehlula uSathane ngokuphelele, futhi uyamzuza umuntu ngokuphelele, emuva kwalokhu lesi sigaba somsebenzi siyophela futhi impumelelo izuzwe. Ekuphatheni kukaNkulunkulu, umuntu akakwazi ukummela uNkulunkulu. Esikakhulukazi, umsebenzi wokuhola inkathi kanye nokuqalisa umsebenzi omusha udinga kakhulu impela ukwenziwa mathupha nguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe. Ukunika abantu izambulo nokubahlinkeka ngesiprofetho kungenziwa ngumuntu, kodwa uma kuwumsebenzi okufanele wenziwe mathupha nguNkulunkulu, umsebenzi wempi phakathi kwaNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe kanye noSathane, ngakho lomsebenzi awukwazi ukwenziwa ngumuntu. Esigabeni sokuqala somsebenzi, lapho kwakungekho mpi noSathane, uJehova wahola abantu bakwa-Israyeli mathupha, esebenziza isiprofetho esasikhulunywa ngaba profethi. Emuva kwalokho, isigaba sesibili somsebenzi kwabe kungukulwa noSathane, futhi uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe wathatha isimo sesintu, weza esenyameni, ukwenza lo msebenzi. Nanoma yini ephathelene nempi noSathane, futhi iphathelene nokuthatha isimo sesintu kukaNkulunkulu, okusho ukuthi lempi ngeke iliwe ngumuntu. Uma umuntu ubengalwa impi, ubengeke akwazi ukuhlula uSathane. Ubengaba kanjani namandla okulwa naye njengoba esengaphansi kwamandla akhe? Umuntu uphakathi nendawo: Uma uncika ngakuSathane, ungowaSathane, kodwa uma wenelisa uNkulunkulu ungoka Nkulunkulu. Uma umuntu ebengamela uNkulunkulu emsebenzini walempi, ubengakwazi? Uma ubekwenzile, ubengeke kube sewabhubha kudala? Ubengeke kube sewangena ezweni labafileyo kudala? Ngakho, umuntu akakwazi ukuthatha indawo kaNkulunkulu emsebenzini Wakhe, okungukuthi umuntu akanayo ingqikithi kaNkulunkulu, futhi uma ubengalwa noSathane bengeke akwazi ukumehlula. Umuntu angenza umsebenzi othile kuphela; angabazuza abantu abathile, kodwa akakwazi ukumela uNkulunkulu emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe. Ubengalwa kanjani umuntu noSathane? USathane ubengakuthumba ngisho ngaphambi kokuthi uqale. Kulapho kuphela uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe elwa noSathane futhi umuntu elandela futhi elalela uNkulunkulu kulesi sisekelo, lapho umuntu engazuzwa uNkulunkulu futhi aphunyuke ezibophweni zikaSathane. Lokho umuntu angaphumelela ukukwenza ngokuhlakanipha namakhono akhe kunemigomo kakhulu; akakwazi ukwenza umuntu aphelele, ukumhola, futhi nakakhulu, ukumehlula uSathane. Ingqondo nokuhlakanipha komuntu akukwazi ukubhuntshisa amacebo kaSathane, ngakho umuntu ubengalwa kanjani ngako?

Isintu Esikhohlakele Siyidinga Kakhulu Insindiso KaNkulunkulu Obe Inyama
UNkulunkulu waba inyama ngenxa yokuthi ihloso yomsebenzi wakhe akuwona umoya kaSathane, noma into engaphili, kodwa umuntu, oyinyama owonakaliswe uSathane. Lokho kungenxa kanye yokuthi inyama yomuntu yonakalisiwe ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenze umuntu wenyama injongo yomsebenzi Wakhe; ngaphezu kwalokho, ngenxa yokuthi umuntu uyinjongo yenkohlakalo, wenze umuntu waba iyona kuphela injongo yomsebenzi Wakhe kuzo zonke izigaba zomsebenzi Wakhe wensindiso. Umuntu uyisidalwa esifayo, uyinyama negazi, futhi uNkulunkulu Nguye Yedwa ongasindisa umuntu. Ngale ndlela, uNkulunkulu kumele abe inyama enakho konke umuntu anakho ukuze umsebenzi Wakhe, ukuze futhi umsebenzi Wakhe ube nemithelela engcono. UNkulunkulu kumele abe inyama ukuze enze umsebenzi Wakhe, ngenxa kanye yokuthi umuntu uyinyama, futhi akakwazi ukunqoba isono nokuzehlukanisa nenyama. Nakuba ukwakheka nesiqu sikaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kwehluka kakhulu ekwakhekeni nesiqu somuntu, kodwa ukubukeka kuyefana nokomuntu, unokubukeka komuntu ovamile, futhi uphila ukuphila komuntu ojwayelekile futhi labo abambonayo ngeke babone mehluko kumuntu ojwayelekile. Le ndlela yokubukeka evamile nobuntu obuvamile kwanele Kuye ukuze enze umsebenzi Wakhe wobunkulunkulu ebuntwini obuvamile. Inyama Yakhe imvumela ukuba enze umsebenzi Wakhe ebuntwini obuvamile, bese imsiza ukuthi enze umsebenzi Wakhe phakathi kwesintu, futhi ubuntu Bakhe obuvamile, phezu kwalokho, bumsiza ukuba enze umsebenzi wensindiso phakathi kwabantu. Nakuba ubuntu bakhe obujwayelekile bubangele ukudideka okukhulu kubantu, ukudideka okunjalo akuwuphazamisanga kakhulu umthelela ojwayelekile womsebenzi Wakhe kubantu. Ngamafuphi, umsebenzi wenyama Yakhe evamile umzuzisa kakhulu umuntu. Nakuba abantu abaningi bengabamukeli ubuntu Bakhe obuvamile, umsebenzi Wakhe usengathela, futhi le mithelela itholakala ngenxa yobuntu obuvamile. Kulokhu akunakungabaza. Ngomsebenzi Wakhe esesimweni somuntu, umuntu uzuza izinto eziphindwe kashumi noma kaninginingi kunemicabango ekhona phakathi kwabantu ngobuntu bakhe obejwayelekile, futhi yonke le micabango ekugcineni izogwinywa umsebenzi Wakhe. Futhi umthelela umsebenzi Wakhe osuwufezile, okusho ukuthi, ulwazi umuntu analo Ngaye, uyedlula kude imicabango yomuntu Ngaye. Akunakwenzeka ukuba uwubone ngeso lengqondo noma uwulinganise umsebenzi awenza esesimweni somuntu, ngoba inyama Yakhe ayifani neyanoma imuphi umuntu wenyama, nakuba ingxenye engaphandle ifana ncamashi, isiqu asifani. Inyama Yakhe yenza ibe miningi imicabango kubantu mayelana noNkulunkulu, kodwa inyama Yakhe ingenza umuntu athole ulwazi oluningi, futhi inganqoba noma imuphi umuntu onengxenye efanayo yangaphandle. Ngoba akayena nje umuntu kuphela, kodwa unguNkulunkulu onengxenye engaphandle yomuntu, futhi akekho ongazi imfihlakalo noma ongamqonda ngokugcwele. UNkulunkulu ongabonakali futhi ongathinteki uyathandwa futhi wemukelwa yibo bonke. Uma uNkulunkulu nje ewuMoya ongabonwa umuntu, kulula kumuntu ukuba akholwe kuNkulunkulu. Umuntu angayikhulula imicabango yakhe, angakhetha noma yisiphi isithombe asithandayo njengesithombe sikaNkulunkulu ukuze azijabulise futhi azenze athokoze. Ngale ndlela, umuntu angenza noma yini ethandwa kakhulu uNkulunkulu wakhe, nafisa ukuba ayenze, ngaphandle kokungabaza. Okukhulu nakakhulu, umuntu ukholwa ukuthi akekho oqotho nozinikele kuNkulunkulu okudlula yena, nokuthi bonke abanye bayizinja ezingabezizwe futhi abathembekile kuNkulunkulu. Kungashiwo ukuthi yilokho okufunwa yilabo abanezinkolelo ezingaqondakali kuNkulunkulu futhi ezisekelwe ezimfundisweni; abakufunayo konke kuthi akufane, kunomehluko nje omncane. Kumane kuwukuthi umfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ezingqondweni zabo uhlukile, kodwa isiqu sabo siyafana.
Umuntu akahlupheki ngokukholwa kwakhe kuNkulunkulu kholwaokungenakunaka futhi ukholwa kuNkulunkulu ngendlela ethandwa nguye. Leli elinye “lamalungelo nenkululeko yomuntu,” okungenamuntu ongagxambukela kulo, ngoba umuntu ukholwa kuNkulunkulu wakhe, hhayi kuNkulunkulu womunye; lokho kuyimpahla yakhe yedwa, futhi wonke umuntu unalo lolu hlobo lwempahla. Umuntu le mpahla uyibheka njengengcebo eyigugu, kodwa kuNkulunkulu ayikho into ephansi nengafaneleki eyedlula lokho ngoba alukho uphawu lokumelana noNkulunkulu olucace kunakule mpahla yomuntu yangasese. Kungenxa yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu owenza uNkulunkulu abe inyama enesakhiwo esithintekayo futhi oze abonwe futhi athintwe ngumuntu. Akawona uMoya ongenasimo, kodwa uyinyama engathinteka futhi ibonwe umuntu. Nokho, onkulunkulu abaningi abantu abakholwa kubo abanayo inyama futhi abanaso isimo. Ngale ndlela, uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu usephenduke isitha sabantu abaningi abakholwa kuNkulunkulu, futhi labo abangeke balamukele iqiniso likaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, nabo, ngokufanayo sebebe izitha zikaNkulunkulu. Umuntu unemicabango, hhayi nje ngenxa yendlela yakhe yokucabanga, noma ngenxa yokuhlubuka kwakhe, kodwa ngenxa yale mpahla yomuntu. Abantu bafa ngenxa yale mpahla yomuntu, futhi inguNkulunkulu ongaqondakali ongenakuthintwa, ongeke abonakale, futhi ongekho eqinisweni lokho okonakalisa ukuphila komuntu. Ukuphila komuntu akonakaliswa uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, futhi akonakaliswa nangengozi uNkulunkulu osezulwini, kodwa nguNkulunkulu osemicabangweni yabantu. Okuwukuphela kwesizathu esenza uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu abe inyama, kungenxa yezidingo zomuntu owonakalisiwe. Kungenxa yezidingo zomuntu hhayi ezikaNkulunkulu, futhi konke anikela ngakho nokuhlupheka Kwakhe kungenxa yesintu, akukhona okwenzuzo kaNkulunkulu uqobo. Abukho ubuhle nobubi nemiklomelo kuNkulunkulu; akufanele avune isivuno sesikhathi esizayo, ngaphandle kwalokho ayevele ekweletwa khona. Konke akwenzayo nanikela ngakho ngenxa yesintu akakwenzeli ukuba athole imiklomelo emikhulu kodwa ukwenzela isintu kuphela. Nakuba umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni ubandakanya ubunzima obuningi obungacabangeki, imiphumela okugcina kuba nayo iyidlula kude leyo yomsebenzi owenziwa uMoya ngokuqondile. Umsebenzi wenyama unobunzima obukhulu, futhi inyama ayinakuba nesiqu esifana nesikaMoya; ngeke ikwazi ukuthwala izenzo ezifana nezoMoya, mancane kakhulu amathuba okuthi ibe negunya elifanayo nelikaMoya. Kodwa ingqikithi yomsebenzi wale nyama enganakekile iyedlula kude eyomsebenzi owenziwe uqondiswa uMoya, nale enyama uqobo iyimpendulo yazo zonke izidingo zomuntu. Kulabo abazosindiswa, umsebenzi kaMoya uphansi kakhulu kunowenyama: Umsebenzi kaMoya ukwazi ukuhlanganisa indawo yonke, zonke izindaba, imifula, amachibi, nezilwandle, kodwa umsebenzi wenyama uthela kahle kuwo wonke umuntu othintane nomuntu wenyama. Okungaphezu kwalokho, inyama kaNkulunkulu esesimweni esithintekayo umuntu angayiqonda futhi ayethembe kangcono, futhi ingajulisa ulwazi lomuntu ngoNkulunkulu, futhi ingashiya kumuntu ukuqonda okubanzi ngezenzo zangempela zikaNkulunkulu. Umsebenzi kaMoya umbozwe emfihlakalweni, kunzima ngomuntu ofayo ukuthi awuqonde, futhi kunzima nakakhulu kubo ukuthi bawubone, ngakho babambelela emicabangweni engasho lutho. Nokho, umsebenzi wenyama ujwayelekile, futhi usekelwe ezintweni ezingokoqobo, futhi uqukethe ukuhlakanipha okucebile, uyiqiniso elingabonakala ngisho nangeso lenyama lomuntu; umuntu angabubona ngokoqobo ubuhlakani bomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, asikho isidingo sokuthi asebenzise kakhulu iso lakhe lengqondo. Lokhu ukunemba nokubaluleka kwangempela komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni. UMoya ungenza kuphela izinto ezingabonakali ngeso lomuntu futhi okunzima kuye ukuthi azibone ngeso lengqondo, isibonelo, ukukhanyiselwa uMoya, ukunyakaza kukaMoya, ukuqondiswa uMoya, kodwa ngokomuntu onengqondo, lokho akunikezi incazelo ecacile. Kuhlinzeka kuphela incazelo enyakazayo, noma ebanzi, futhi ngeke kukhiphe imiyalelo ngamazwi. Nokho, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osenyameni uhluke kakhulu: Unokuqondisa okucacile kwamazwi, unentando ecacile, futhi unemigomo ecacile efunakalayo. Ngakho akudingeki ukuthi umuntu acinge, noma asebenzise iso lakhe lengqondo noma aqagele. Lokhu ukukhanyiswa komsebenzi enyameni, nomehluko wakho omkhulu emsebenzini kaMoya. Umsebenzi kaMoya ulungele isilinganiso esithile kuphela, ngeke uthathe isikhundla somsebenzi wenyama. Umsebenzi wenyama unika umuntu imigomo enemba kakhulu futhi edingekayo nolwazi lwangempela, olunosizo kakhulu kunomsebenzi kaMoya. Umsebenzi oyigugu kakhulu kumuntu owonakele yilona onamazwi anembayo, imigomo ecacile, futhi ongabonakala noma uthinteke. Umsebenzi onengqondo kuphela nokuqondisa okufika ngesikhathi okufaneleka nokuthandwa ngumuntu, okudingwa abantu ovivinyweni lwabo, futhi umsebenzi kuphela wangempela ongasindisa umuntu ekukhohlakaleni nasesimweni sakhe esiphansi. Lokhu kungafezwa kuphela uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu; uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kuphela ongasindisa umuntu enkohlakalweni nasesimweni sakhe esiphansi sakudala. Nakuba uMoya uyingqikithi yemvelo kaNkulunkulu, umsebenzi ofana nalo ungenziwa kuphela inyama Yakhe. Uma uMoya usebenze wodwa, umsebenzi Wakhe-ke ngeke usebenze ngokunomthelela—leli yiqiniso elimsulwa. Nakuba abantu abaningi sebephenduke izitha zikaNkulunkulu ngenxa yale nyama, lapho uNkulunkulu eqeda umsebenzi Wakhe, labo abamelene Naye ngeke bayeke kuphela ukuba izitha Zakhe, kodwa kuyokwenzeka okuphambene ngokuthi babe ofakazi Bakhe. Bayoba ofakazi abanqotshwe Nguye, ofakazi abafanelekayo Kuye futhi abangehlukaniseki Naye. Wenza ukuba umuntu azi ukubaluleka komsebenzi Wakhe kumuntu esenyameni yomuntu, futhi umuntu kufanele akwazi ukubaluleka kwale nyama enjongweni yokuba khona komuntu, azi indima Yakhe yangempela ekukhuleni kokuphila komuntu, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, azi ukuthi le nyama iyoba umthombo ophilayo wokuphila umuntu angeke akwazi ukwahlukana nakho. Nakuba inyama kaNkulunkulu ikude kakhulu nokufana nomfanekiso nesikhundla sikaNkulunkulu, futhi kumuntu ibonakala ingafanelani nesikhundla Sakhe sangempela, le nyama, engasivezi ngempela isithombe esicacile sikaNkulunkulu, noma isiqu sangempela sikaNkulunkulu, ingenza umsebenzi uMoya kaNkulunkulu ongeke ukwazi ukuwenza ngokuqondile. Kunjalo ukubaluleka nomsebenzi wangempela wokuba sesimweni somuntu kukaNkulunkulu, futhi yilokhu kubaluleka nokuba nomsebenzi kwakho umuntu angakwazisi futhi angakuvumi. Nakuba bonke abantu bephakamisa uMoya kaNkulunkulu futhi bebukela phansi inyama kaNkulunkulu, kungakhathaleki ukuthi babuka kanjani futhi bacabangani, ukubaluleka kwangempela nokuba yigugu kwenyama kukudlula kude okoMoya. Empeleni, lokhu kumayelana nesintu esikhohlakele kuphela. Kuwo wonke umuntu ofuna iqiniso futhi olangazelela ukubonakala kukaNkulunkulu, umsebenzi kaMoya unganika kuphela ukunyakaziseka nesambulo, nomuzwa wokumangala ongachazeki futhi ongacabangeki, futhi nomuzwa wokuthi mkhulu, uphakeme, futhi uyaziseka, kodwa akufikeki kuwo futhi awutholakali nhlobo. Umuntu noMoya kaNkulunkulu bengabukelana kude kuphela, sengathi kunebanga elide phakathi kwabo, futhi abasoze bafana, sengathi bahlukaniswe umngcele ongabonakali. Eqinisweni, lokhu ukulutheka umuntu akunikwe uMoya, okubangelwa ukuthi umuntu noMoya abalona uhlobo olulodwa, futhi uMoya nomuntu abasoze baphila ndawonye emhlabeni owodwa, nokuthi uMoya awunalutho lomuntu. Ngakho umuntu akawudingi uMoya, ngoba uMoya awukwazi ukwenza ngokuqondile umsebenzi odingwa kakhulu umuntu. Umsebenzi wenyama unikeza umuntu imigomo yangempela angayilandela, amazwi acacile, nomuzwa wokuthi ungokoqobo futhi ujwayelekile, uthobekile futhi uvamile. Nakuba umuntu angase amesabe, kubantu abaningi kulula ukuzwana naye: Umuntu angabubona ubuso Bakhe, ezwe izwi Lakhe, futhi akadingeki ukumbukela kude. Le nyama izwakala kusondeleka kuyo, ayikude, akulukhuni ukuyiqonda, kodwa iyabonakala futhi iyathinteka, ngoba le nyama isemhlabeni owodwa nomuntu.
Isintu Esikhohlakele Siyidinga Kakhulu Insindiso KaNkulunkulu Obe Inyama
Kubo bonke labo abaphila enyameni, ukuguqula isimo sabo kudinga ukuthi babe nemigomo yokulandelwa, futhi ukwazi uNkulunkulu kudinga ukuba ukufakaza ngezenzo Zakhe zangempela nobuso Bakhe bangempela. Kokubili lokhu kungafezwa ngenyama kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kuphela, futhi kokubili kungafezwa kuphela ngenyama evamile nengokoqobo. Yingakho ukuba sesimweni somuntu kudingekile, futhi yikho okwenza adingwe yiso sonke isintu esikhohlakele. Njengoba abantu kudingeka ukuthi bazi uNkulunkulu, izithombe zoNkulunkulu abangaqondakali futhi abanamandla angaphezu kwemvelo kumele zixoshwe ezinhliziyweni zabo, futhi njengoba kudingeka ukuba balahle isimo sabo esikhohlakele, kumele bazi kuqala isimo sabo esikhohlakele. Uma umuntu enza kuphela umsebenzi ngenjongo yokuxosha izithombe zoNkulunkulu abangaqondakali ezinhliziyweni zabantu, ngeke-ke aphumele ukufeza umphumela ocacile. Izithombe zoNkulunkulu abangaqondakali abasezinhliziyweni zabantu azinakwembulwa, zisuswe noma zixoshwe ngokuphelele ngamazwi kuphela. Ngokwenza kanjalo, ekugcineni kuyoba yinto engenakwenzeka ukukhipha lezi zinto ezijulile kubantu. UNkulunkulu ongokoqobo kuphela nesithombe sangempela sikaNkulunkulu okungangena esikhundleni salezi zinto ezingaqondakali nezinamandla angaphezu kwavamile ukwenza abantu ukuba bamazi kancane kancane, futhi lokhu kungafezwa ngale ndlela kuphela. Umuntu uyabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu ayemfuna ngezinye izikhathi ezedlule akaqondakali futhi unamandla angaphezu kwavamile. Into engazuza lokhu akukhona ukuhola okuqondile kukaMoya, ingasaphathwa eyezimfundiso zomuntu, kodwa uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Imicabango yomuntu isala ngemuva lapho uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu esenza umsebenzi Wakhe, ngoba ukuvama nokuba ngokoqobo kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kungqubuzana nonkulunkulu abangaqondakali nabanamandla angaphezu kwavamile abasezingqondweni zabantu. Umcabango oyiwona womuntu ungembulwa kuphela ngokuthi uqhathaniswe noNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Ngaphandle kokumqhathanisa noNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, imicabango yomuntu ayisobe yembulwa; ngamanye amazwi, ngaphandle kokuqhathanisa, ukuba ngokoqobo kwezinto ezingaqondakali akusobe kwembulwa. Akekho okwazi ukusebenzisa amazwi ukuze enze lo msebenzi, futhi akekho okwazi ukucacisa lo msebenzi esebenzisa amazwi. NguNkulunkulu kuphela ongenza umsebenzi Wakhe, futhi akekho omunye ongenza lo msebenzi esikhundleni Sakhe. Akunandaba ukuthi ulimi olukhulunywa umuntu lucebe kangakanani, ngeke akwazi ukuveza ukuba ngokoqobo nokuvama kukaNkulunkulu. Umuntu uNkulunkulu angamazi kangcono, futhi ambone ngokucacile, uma uNkulunkulu esebenza Yena mathupha phakathi kwabantu futhi aveze indlela abukeka ngayo nesiqu Sakhe. Lokhu ngeke kufezwe yinoma imuphi umuntu wenyama. Empeleni, uMoya kaNkulunkulu nawo awukwazi ukufeza lokhu. UNkulunkulu angasindisa isintu esonakele ethonyeni likaSathane, kodwa lo msebenzi ngeke ufeze ngokuqondile uMoya kaNkulunkulu; kunalokho ungafezwa kuphela inyama enoMoya kaNkulunkulu, inyama kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Le nyama ingumuntu futhi inguNkulunkulu, inyama enobuntu obuvamile futhi uNkulunkulu ayinike wonke amandla aphezulu. Ngakho, ngisho noma le nyama ingewona uMoya kaNkulunkulu, futhi yehluka kakhulu eMoyeni, isenguNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uqobo osindisa isintu, owuMoya futhi oyinyama. Akunandaba ukuthi ubizwa ngani, ekugcineni usenguNkulunkulu osindisa isintu. Ngoba uMoya kaNkulunkulu awubonakali enyameni, futhi umsebenzi wenyama uphinde ube umsebenzi kaMoya kaNkulunkulu; umehluko kumane kube ukuthi lo msebenzi awenziwa kusetshenziswa isiqu sikaMoya, kodwa kusuke kusetshenziswa isiqu senyama. Umsebenzi odinga ukwenziwa uMoya ngokuqondile awumdingi uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, futhi umsebenzi owenziwe inyama ngeke uqondiswe uMoya, kodwa ungenziwa kuphela uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Yilokhu okudingekayo kulo msebenzi, futhi nokudingwa yisintu esikhohlakele. Ezigabeni ezintathu zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, sisodwa isigaba esenziwa siqondiswa uMoya, futhi ezinye izigaba ezimbili zaziqondiswa uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, zingaqondiswa uMoya ngokuqondile. Umsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho owenziwa uMoya wawungabandakanyi ukushintsha isimo esikhohlakele somuntu, futhi awuzange udinge noma yiluphi ulwazi lomuntu ngoNkulunkulu. Umsebenzi wenyama kaNkulunkulu eNkathini Yomusa naseNkathini Yombuso, uhlanganisa isimo somuntu esikhohlakele nolwazi lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu, futhi uyingxenye ebalulekile nebucayi yomsebenzi wensindiso. Ngakho, isintu esikhohlakele siyidinga kakhulu insindiso kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, futhi siwudinga kakhulu umsebenzi oqondile kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Isintu sidinga ukuba uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu aseluse, aseseke, asiphuzise, asondle, asahlulele futhi asijezise, futhi siwudinga kakhulu umusa nokutakulwa uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. UNkulunkulu wenyama kuphela, ongaba ithemba lomuntu, umelusi womuntu, nosizo lwamanje lomuntu, futhi konke lokhu kuyisidingo sikaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu namuhla nasezikhathini ezedlule.
Umuntu wonakaliswe uSathane, futhi uyisidalwa sikaNkulunkulu esiphakeme kunezinye, ngakho umuntu udinga ukusindiswa uNkulunkulu. Injongo yokusindisa kukaNkulunkulu ngumuntu, hhayi uSathane, futhi into okufanele isindiswe inyama yomuntu kanye nomphefumulo wakhe, hhayi udeveli. USathane uyena uNkulunkulu ahlose ukumbhubhisa, umuntu uyinjongo yensindiso kaNkulunkulu, futhi inyama yomuntu yonakaliswe uSathane, ngakho okusindiswa kuqala kufanele kube inyama yomuntu. Inyama yomuntu yonakaliswe kakhulu, futhi ibe yinto emelene noNkulunkulu, emelana ngisho ngokusobala noNkulunkulu futhi ize iphike ubukhona bukaNkulunkulu. Le nyama eyonakele ayinakulawuleka, futhi ayikho into okunzima ukubhekana nayo noma ukuyiguqula ukwedlula isimo esonakele senyama. USathane ufike aphazamise inyama yomuntu, futhi asebenzise inyama yomuntu ukuze aphazamise umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kanye nohlelo lukaNkulunkulu, ngaleyo ndlela umuntu agcine esephenduke uSathane, kanye nesitha sikaNkulunkulu. Ukuze umuntu asindiswe, kumele aqale anqotshwe. Kungenxa yalokhu ukuthi uNkulunkulu amukele inselelo bese eba senyameni ukuze enze umsebenzi ahlose ukuwenza futhi alwe impi noSathane. Injongo Yakhe ukusindiswa kwesintu, esonakalisiwe, nokunqotshwa nokubhjiswa kukaSathane, ohlubuka Kuye. Unqoba uSathane ngomsebenzi Wakhe wokunqoba abantu, aphinde asindise isintu esonakele ngaso leso sikhathi. Ngalokho, uNkulunkulu usombulula izinkinga ezimbili ngesikhathi esisodwa. Usebenza enyameni, akhulume enyameni, futhi enze wonke umsebenzi enyameni ukuze axhumane kangcono nomuntu futhi amnqobe kangcono umuntu. Isikhathi sokugcina uNkulunkulu aba kuso yinyama, umsebenzi Wakhe wezinsuku zokugcina uyophothulwa enyameni. Uyohlukanisa bonke abantu ngokwezinhlobo zabo, asonge wonke lo msebenzi wokuphatha, futhi aqede wonke umsebenzi Wakhe enyameni. Ngemva kokuphela kwawo wonke lo msebenzi Wakhe wasemhlabeni, uyoba ngumnqobi ngokuphelele. Esebenza enyameni, uNkulunkulu uyobe esesinqobe ngokuphelele isintu, futhi esesizuzile isintu. Ingabe lokho akusho yini ukuthi wonke umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuphatha uyobe usufike ekugcineni? Lapho uNkulunkulu ephothula umsebenzi Wakhe wokuphatha enyameni, njengoba ehlule uSathane futhi wamnqoba, uSathane ngeke esaba nalo elinye ithuba lokonakalisa isintu. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuqala esesimweni somuntu kwakuwukuhlengwa nokuthethelelwa kwezono zomuntu. Manje sekuwumsebenzi wokunqoba nokuzuza isintu ngokugcwele, ukuze uSathane engabe esaba nayo enye indlela yokwenza umsebenzi wakhe, futhi uyobe esehlulwe ngokuphelele, uNkulunkulu uyobe esenqobe ngokuphelele. Lona umsebenzi wenyama, futhi umsebenzi owenziwe uNkulunkulu uqobo. Umsebenzi wokuqala wezigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wenziwa uMoya, hhayi inyama. Umsebenzi wokugcina wezigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, wona wenziwa uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, awenziwa uMoya ngokuqondile. Umsebenzi wokuhlenga wesigaba esiphakathi nawo wenziwa inyama kaNkulunkulu. Kuwoi wonke umsebenzi wokuphatha, umsebenzi obaluleke kakhulu umsebenzi wokusindisa abantu ethonyeni likaSathane. Umsebenzi ophambili ukunqotshwa okuphelele komuntu okhohlakele, ngaleyo ndlela kubuyiselwe esimweni esiyiso ukuhlonipha kwasekuqaleni uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yomuntu onqotshiwe, futhi avunyelwe ukuba aphile ukuphila okujwayelekile, okuwukuthi, ukuphila okujwayelekile kwesidalwa sikaNkulunkulu. Lo msebenzi ubucayi futhi uwumgogodla womsebenzi wokuphatha. Ezigabeni ezintathu zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wensindiso, isigaba sokuqala somsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho sasikude nomongo womsebenzi wokuphatha; sasinenswebu encane yomsebenzi wokusindisa, futhi sasingesona isiqalo somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokusindisa umuntu ekubusweni uSathane. Isigaba sokuqala somsebenzi senziwa uMoya ngokuqondile, ngenxa yokuthi ngaphansi komthetho, umuntu wayazi kuphela ukunamathela emthethweni, wayengenalo iqiniso elengeziwe, futhi ngenxa yokuthi umsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho kwakwethukela uhlanganisa izinguquko esimweni somuntu, kuncane kakhulu okwakubandakanyekile emsebenzini wokusindisa umuntu ekubusweni uSathane. Ngakho uMoya kaNkulunkulu waqeda lesi sigaba esiphakeme somsebenzi esasingahlanganisi isimo esikhohlakele somuntu. Lesi sigaba somsebenzi sazala ubuhlobo emsebenzini owumgogodla wokuqondisa, futhi asihlanganisi lutho olutheni emsebenzini osemthethweni wensindiso, futhi awudingi ukuba uNkulunkulu abe inyama ukuze enze umsebenzi Wakhe. Umsebenzi owenziwe uMoya awuqondakali kalula, futhi uyesabeka kumuntu; kunzima ngoMoya ukuba uqondise umsebenzi wensindiso, nokunikeza umuntu ukuphila ngokuqondile. Okufaneleka kakhulu ngomuntu ukuba aguqule umsebenzi kaMoya uvumelane naye, okusho ukuthi, lokho okufaneleka kumuntu ukuthiuNkulunkulu abe umuntu ojwayelekile, ovamile ukuze enze umsebenzi Wakhe. Lokhu kudinga uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ozokwenza umsebenzi kaMoya, futhi kumuntu ayikho indlela efanelekayo yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Phakathi kwalezi zigaba ezintathu, izigaba ezimbili zenziwa inyama, futhi lezi zigaba ezimbili ziwumgogodla womsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuqondisa. Ababili abasamuntu bayaphelelisana. Isigaba sokuqala sikaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu sabeka isisekelo sesigaba sesibili, futhi kungashiwo ukuthi oNkulunkulu ababili abasamuntu bayaphelelisana, futhi bayavumelana. Lezi zigaba ezimbili zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu zenziwa uNkulunkulu ngomzimba Wakhe wenyama ngoba zibaluleke kakhulu emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu wokuphatha. Kungacishe kushiwo ukuthi, ngaphandle komsebenzi woNkulunkulu ababili abasamuntu, wonke umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuphatha ubuyoma nse futhi umsebenzi wokusindisa isintu uyoba izinkulumo nje ezingasho lutho. Ukubaluleka nokungabaluleki kwalo msebenzi kuncike ezidingweni zabantu, nokuthi sikhohlakele ngezinga elingakanani isintu, nesimo sokungalaleli kukaSathane nokuphazamisa kwaso umsebenzi. Lowo ofanele owulungele umsebenzi uphakanyiswe ngokwesimo somsebenzi wakhe, nokubaluleka komsebenzi. Uma kuziwa ekubalulekeni kwalo msebenzi, ekutheni iyiphi indlela okufanele isetshenziswe—umsebenzi owenziwa ngokuqondile uMoya kaNkulunkulu, noma owenziwa uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, noma owenziwa umuntu—umsebenzi oyoqedwa kuqala owenziwa umuntu, futhi, ngenxa yohlobo lomsebenzi, kanye nomsebenzi kaMoya okanye nomsebenzi wenyama, ekugcineni kuyonqunywa ukuthi umsebenzi owenziwa inyama umzuzisa kangcono yini umuntu kunomsebenzi owenziwa uMoya, futhi unezinzuzo eziningi. Lona umcabango uNkulunkulu ngaleso sikhathi anquma ngawo ukuthi umsebenzi wenziwa uMoya noma inyama. Kunokubaluleka nezisekelo ezisesigabeni ngasinye somsebenzi. Aziyona nje imicabango engasekelwe ndawo, futhi azenziwa nje ngokungalandeli mgomo; kunokuhlakanipha okuthile kuzo. Linjalo iqiniso elisemva kwawo wonke umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Ngokukhethekile, kunohlelo oluthe xaxa lukaNkulunkulu emsebenzini onjalo njengoba uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu esebenza mathupha Phakathi kwabantu. Ngakho, ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu, nobuyena bonke kuvezwe kuzo zonke izenzo Zakhe, ukucabanga, umqondo ekusebenzeni; lokhu kungubunjalo bukaNkulunkulu obuphathekayo futhi obinohlelo. Le micabango nemicabango ecashile inzima kakhulu ukuba umuntu ayicabange, futhi kunzima kumuntu ukuba ayikholwe, ngaphezu kwalokho, kunzima ukuthi umuntu ayazi. Umsebenzi owenziwe umuntu ungowemigomo evamile, ngokomuntu, okwenelisa kakhulu. Kodwa uma uqhathaniswa nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kuba nomehluko omkhulu; nakuba izenzo zikaNkulunkulu zinkulu futhi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu usezingeni elikhulu, emva kwawo kunezinhlelo namalungiselelo okuncanyana nokuqonde ngqo umuntu angenakukucabanga. Zonke izigaba zomsebenzi womuntu azisekelwe emgomeni kuphela, kodwa futhi ziphethe izinto eziningi ezingeke zikhulumeke ngolimi lwabantu, futhi lezi izinto ezingabonakali emehlweni omuntu. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi umsebenzi kaMoya noma kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, ngamunye uqukethe izinhlelo zomsebenzi Wakhe. Akasebenzi ngokungenasisekelo, futhi akenzi umsebenzi ongabalulekile. Lapho uMoya usebenza ngokuqondile kusuke kungenxa yemigomo Yakhe, futhi lapho eba umuntu (okungukuthi, lapho eguqula ingxenye Yakhe yangaphandle) ukuze asebenze, kusuke kungokwenjongo Yakhe kakhulu. Kungani okunye eguqula isiqu Sakhe kalula nje? Kungani okunye eba umuntu obhekwa njengophansi futhi ohlushwayo?
Umsebenzi Wakhe enyameni yiwona obaluleke kakhulu, okuyiwona okuvame ukubhekiswa kuwo uma kukhulunywa ngomsebenzi, futhi Lowo oyosonga lo msebenzi uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, hhayi uMoya. Abanye bakholwa ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi uNkulunkulu angeza emhlabeni ukuze abonakale kumuntu, lapho eyokwahlulela isintu mathupha, avivinye umuntu ngamunye kungasali muntu. Labo abacabanga kanjalo abasazi lesi sigaba sikaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. UNkulunkulu akahluleli umuntu ngamunye, futhi akavivinyi umuntu ngamunye; ukwenza lokho bekungeke kube umsebenzi wokwahlulela. Ingabe ayifani inkohlakalo yaso sonke isintu? Ingabe asifani sonke isiqu sikaNkulunkulu? Okwahlulelwayo isiqu sesintu esikhohlakele, isiqu somuntu esonakaliswe uSathane, nazo zonke izono zomuntu. UNkulunkulu akehluleli amaphutha amancane nangabalulekile omuntu. Umsebenzi wokwahlulela kukhona okumelayo, awenziwa ngenxa yomuntu othile kuphela. Kunalokho, uwumsebenzi okwahlulelwa kuwo iqembu labantu ukuze kwahlulelwe sonke isintu. Ngokwenza Kwakhe lo msebenzi mathupha kulo lonke iqembu labantu, uNkulunkulu osenyameni usebenzisa umsebenzi Wakhe ukumela umsebenzi waso sonke isintu, ngemva kwawo oya ngokuya wanda. Nomsebenzi wokwahlulela unjalo. UNkulunkulu akahluleli uhlobo oluthile lomuntu noma iqembu elithile labantu, kodwa wahlulela abangalungile kuso sonke isintu—ukumelana noNkulunkulu kwabantu, ngokwesibonelo, noma ukungamhloniphi, noma ukuphazamiseka komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, njalo njalo. Okwahlulelwayo yingqikithi yokumelana kwesintu noNkulunkulu futhi lo msebenzi ungumsebenzi wokunqoba ngezinsuku zokugcina. Umsebenzi nezwi likaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu okubonwa umuntu kuwumsebenzi wakwahlulela ongaphambi kwesihlalo esimhlophe sobukhosi phakathi nezinsuku zokugcina, izinto ezacatshangwa umuntu esikhathini esedlule. Umsebenzi owenziwa uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uwukwahlulela ngqo okungaphambi kwesihlalo esimhlophe sobukhosi. UNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu wanamuhla unguNkulunkulu owahlulela sonke isintu ezinsukwini zokugcina. Le nyama nomsebenzi Wakhe, nezwi kanye naso sonke isimo Sakhe, konke kungokwakhe. Nakuba umthamo womsebenzi wakho unomkhawulo, futhi ungabandakanyi indawo yonke ngokuqondile, ingqikithi yomsebenzi wokwahlulela iwukwahlulelwa ngokuqondile kwaso sonke isintu; akuwona umsebenzi owenziwa ezweni laseChina kuphela, noma owenzelwa isibalo esincane sabantu. Ngesikhathi somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni, nakuba umthamo womsebenzi ungabandakanyi indawo yonke, umela umsebenzi wendawo yonke, futhi ngemva kokuqeda umsebenzi osemthamweni wenyama Yakhe, lo msebenzi uyowusabalalisela ngokushesha endaweni yonke, ngendlela efanayo nalena ivangeli likaJesu elasabalala ngayo endaweni yonke ngemva kokuvuka nokunyukela ezulwini Kwakhe. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi kungumsebenzi kaMoya noma wenyama, kuwumsebenzi ofezwa ngaphansi komthamo othile, kodwa omela umsebenzi wayo yonke indawo. Ngezinsuku zokugcina, uNkulunkulu ubonakala enza umsebenzi Wakhe esebenzisa ukubonakala Kwakhe okusamuntu, futhi uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uyena owahlulela abantu esesihlalweni esimhlophe sobukhosi. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi unguNkulunkulu kaMoya noma wenyama, lowo owenza umsebenzi wokwahlulela unguNkulunkulu owahlulela isintu ngezinsuku zokugcina. Lokhu kuchazwa ngokusekelwa emsebenzini Wakhe, akuchazwa ngendlela abukeka ngayo ngaphandle noma kwezinye izinto eziningi. Nakuba umuntu enemicabango yakhe ngala mazwi, akekho ongaphikisana nokwahlulela kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu nokunqotshwa kwaso sonke isintu. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi umuntu ucabangani ngakho, amaqiniso ayohlale engamaqiniso. Akekho ongathi “Umsebenzi wenziwa uNkulunkulu, kodwa inyama ayiyena uNkulunkulu.” Umbhedo lowo, ngoba lo msebenzi awunakwenziwa muntu ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Njengoba lo msebenzi usufeziwe, kulandelwa lo msebenzi, umsebenzi wokwahlulela ngeke usenziwa okwesibili; uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu wesibili usewusonge wonke umsebenzi wokuphatha, kufanele kube nesigaba sesine somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba lowo owahlulelwayo ngumuntu, umuntu wenyama owonakalisiwe, hhayi umoya kaSathane owahlulelwa ngokuqondile, umsebenzi wokwahlulela awenziwa ezweni likaMoya kodwa phakathi kwabantu. Akekho ofaneleka ukwedlula uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ukwenza umsebenzi wokwahlulela inyama yomuntu ekhohlakele. Ukuba ukwahlulela kwakwenziwa ngokuqondile uMoya kaNkulunkulu, ngabe-ke konke kulungile. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lowo msebenzi ubuyobe ulukhuni ukuthi umuntu awemukele, ngoba uMoya awukwazi ukubhekana ubuso nobuso nomuntu, futhi ngenxa yalokhu, imiphumela ngeke isheshe ivele, futhi umuntu ngeke akwazi ukubona ukungacasuleki kwesimo sikaNkulunkulu ngokucacile. USathane anganqotshwa ngokuphelele kuphela uma uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ahlulela ukonakala kwesintu. Ngokufana nomuntu onobuntu obuvamile, uNkulunkulu osenyameni angehlulela ngokuqondile ukungalungi komuntu; lokhu kuwuphawu lobungcwele Bakhe bemvelo, nolokungajwayeleki Kwakhe. UNkulunkulu kuphela ofanelekayo, futhi osesikhundleni sokwahlulela umuntu, ngoba uneqiniso nokulunga, ngakho angakwazi ukwahlulela umuntu. Labo abangenalo iqiniso nokulunga abakufanele ukwahlulela abanye. Ukuba lo msebenzi wawenziwa uMoya kaNkunkulu, bekungeke kube ukunqoba phezu kukaSathane. UMoya ungaphezulu kakhulu kwezidalwa ezifayo, futhi uMoya kaNkulunkulu ngendalo ungcwele, uyayinqoba inyama. Ukuba uMoya wenza lo msebenzi ngokuqondile, ubengeke akwazi ukwahlulela konke ukungalaleli komuntu, futhi ubengeke akwazi ukwambula konke ukungalungi komuntu. Ngoba umsebenzi wokwahlulela wenziwa futhi ngemicabango yomuntu ngoNkulunkulu, futhi umuntu akaze abe nemicabango yoMoya, futhi uMoya akakwazi kangcono ukwambula ukungalungi komuntu kube lukhuni ngokwengeziwe ukuveza kangcono ukungalungi okunjalo. UNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uyisitha sabo bonke labo abangamazi. Ekwahluleleni imicabango yabantu nalabo abamelene Naye, uveza konke ukungalaleli kwesintu. Imiphumela yomsebenzi Wakhe enyameni ibonakala ngokucacile kuneyomsebenzi kaMoya. Ngakho ukwahlulelwa kwaso sonke isintu akwenziwa uMoya ngokuqondile, kodwa kuwumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. UNkulunkulu osenyameni angabonwa noma athintwe umuntu, futhi angamnqoba ngokuphelele umuntu. Ebudlelwaneni bakhe noNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, umuntu uqhubeka esuka ekuphikiseni aye ekulaleleni, ekushushiseni aye ekwamukeleni, ekucabangeni aye olwazni, ekwaleni aye othandweni. Lena imiphumela yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Umuntu usindiswa kuphela ngenxa yokuvuma ukwahlulelwa, bese eya ngokuya azi uNkulunkulu ngamazwi omlomo Wakhe, anqotshwe Nguye ekumelaneni Naye, futhi athole ukuphila kuye ngokwamukela kwakhe isijeziso. Wonke lo msebenzi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osenyameni, hhayi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu onesiqu sikaMoya. Umsebenzi owenziwe uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu umsebenzi omkhulu kakhulu, okuwumsebenzi obanzi kakhulu, futhi ingxenye ebaluleke kakhulu ezigabeni ezintathu zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu yizigaba ezimbili zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu esesimweni somuntu. Inkohlakalo enkulu yomuntu iyisithiyo esikhulu emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Ikakhulu, umsebenzi owenziwa kubantu bezinsuku zokugcina unzima kakhulu, nesimo sinonya, nezinga lomuntu ngamunye liphansi. Kodwa ekupheleni kwalo msebenzi, usazofeza umphumela wawo, ngaphandle kwezici ezimbi; lona ngumthelela womsebenzi wenyama, futhi lo mthelela ukwenza uvume ngokwengezekile kunomsebenzi kaMoya. Izigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kufanele zisongwe enyameni, futhi ziphothulwe uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Umsebenzi obaluleke kakhulu futhi obucayi kakhulu yilona owenziwa enyameni, futhi insindiso yabantu kufanele ivele kuNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Ngisho noma sonke isintu besicabanga ukuthi uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu akahlobene nomuntu, eqinisweni le nyama ithintene nokuphila kwaso sonke isintu.
Sonke isigaba somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu senzelwe sonke isintu, futhi siqondiswe kuso sonke isintu. Ngisho noma kungumsebenzi Wakhe enyameni, usaqondiswe kuso sonke isintu; unguNkulunkulu waso sonke isintu, futhi unguNkulunkulu wakho konke okudaliwe nokungadaliwe. Nakuba umsebenzi Wakhe enyameni unomthamo onomkhawulo, futhi nomgomo walo msebenzi nawo unomkhawulo, isikhathi ngasinye lapho eba inyama khona ukuze enze umsebenzi Wakhe, ukhetha injongo yomsebenzi wakhe enokumela okuphakeme; akakhethi nje ukusebenza neqembu labantu abangavelele, kunalokho ukhetha ukusebenza neqembu elikwaziyo ukumela umsebenzi Wakhe wenyama. Leli qembu labantu likhethwe ngenxa yokuthi umthamo womsebenzi Wakhe unomkhawulo, futhi ulungiselelwe ngokukhethekile umsebenzi wenyama Yakhe. Ukukhetha kukaNkulunkulu lezi zinto emsebenzini Wakhe akuyona into engenasisekelo, kodwa ngokomgomo: Inhloso yomsebenzi kumele izuzise umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, futhi kumele imele sonke isintu. Ngokwesibonelo, amaJuda ayekwazi ukumela sonke isintu ngokwamukela ukuhlengwa nguJesu, futhi amaShayina ayakwazi ukumela sonke isintu ngokwamukela ukunqoba kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Kunesisekelo sokumela kwamaJuda sonke isintu, futhi kunesisekelo sokumela kwamaShayina sonke isintu ngokwamukela ukunqoba kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Akukho okwembula ukubaluleka kokuhlengwa ukwedlula umsebenzi wokuhlenga owenziwa phakathi kwamaJuda, futhi akukho okwembula ukuphelela nempumelelo komsebenzi wokunqoba ngokungaphezulu komsebenzi wokunqobaphakathi kwamaShayina. Umsebenzi nezwi likaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kubonakala kuphela kubhekiswe eqenjini elincane labantu, kodwa eqinisweni, umsebenzi Wakhe phakathi kwaleli qembu elincane labantu ungowendawo yonke, futhi izwi Lakhe libhekiswe kuso sonke isintu. Ngemva kokuphela komsebenzi wakhe enyameni, labo abamlandelayo bayoqala ukusakaza umsebenzi awenzile phakathi kwabo. Into engcono kakhulu ngomsebenzi Wakhe enyameni ukuthi angashiya amazwi anembayo nentando Yakhe ecacile esintwini, kulabo abamlalelayo, ukuze ngemva kwalokho abalandeli Bakhe badlulise ngokunembayo wonke umsebenzi Wakhe wenyama nentando Yakhe kuso sonke isintu kulabo abayemukelayo le ndlela. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wasenyameni kuphela phakathi kwabantu ofeza iqiniso lobukhona nokuhlala phakathi kwabantu kukaNkulunkulu. Yilo msebenzi kuphela ogcwalisa isifiso somuntu sokubona ubuso bukaNkulunkulu, ofakaza ngomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, futhi uzwe izwi loqobo likaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uqeda inkathi lapho isintu sabona kuphela umhlane kaJehova, bese uqeda nenkolo yesintu kuNkulunkulu ongaqondakali. Ikakhulu, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokugcina osesimweni somuntu uletha sonke isintu enkathini enokwangempela, enobuqobo, futhi ejabulisayo. Akagcini nje ngokuphothula inkathi yomthetho nemfundiso; okubaluleke nakakhulu, wembula esintwini uNkulunkulu ongowempela, ojwayelekile, olungile futhi ongcwele ovula umsebenzi wohlelo lokuphatha, aveze izimfihlakalo nesiphetho sesintu, owadala isintu futhi oqeda umsebenzi wokuphatha futhi obezifihlile izinkulungwane zeminyaka. Uletha inkathi yezinto ezingaqondakali ekupheleni, uphothula inkathi isintu esifisa ngayo ukubona ubuso bukaNkulunkulu kodwa singakwazi, uqeda inkathi isintu esikhonza ngayo uSathane, futhi aholele sonke isintu enkathini entsha. Konke lokhu kuwumphumela womsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni esikhundleni sikaMoya kaNkulunkulu. Lapho uNkulunkulu esebenza enyameni Yakhe, labo abamlandelayo abasagcini nje ngokufuna ngemva kwalezo zinto eziyimfihlakalo nezingaqondakali, futhi bayayeka ukuqagela intando kaNkulunkulu ongaqondakali. Lapho uNkulunkulu esakaza umsebenzi Wakhe esenyameni, labo abamlandelayo kufanele badlulisele umsebenzi awenze enyameni kuzo zonke izinkolo namahlelo, futhi bazokhuluma wonke amazwi Akhe ezindlebeni zaso sonke isintu. Konke okulalelwe yilabo abezwe ivangeli Lakhe kufanele kube amaqiniso omsebenzi Wakhe, kufanele kube yizinto umuntu azibonile futhi wazizwela zona, kufanele kube amaqiniso hhayi inzwabethi. La maqiniso awubufakazi asabalalisa ngabo umsebenzi Wakhe, futhi angamathuluzi awasebenzisayo ekusakazeni umsebenzi. Ngaphandle kokuba khona kwamaqiniso, ivangeli Lakhe lalingeke lisabalale kuwo wonke amazwe nakuzo zonke izindawo; wayengeke akwazi ukunqoba indawo yonke, wayeyogcina ngokukucabanga engqondweni. Umuntu akakwazi ukuthinta umoya futhi akawuboni, futhi umsebenzi wenyama awukwazi ukushiya ubufakazi noma amaqiniso ngomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kumuntu. Umuntu akasoze abone ubuso bangempela bukaNkulunkulu, futhi uyohlala ekholwa kuNkulunkulu ongaqondakali ongekho. Umuntu akasoze abone ubuso bangempela bukaNkulunkulu, futhi ngeke ezwe amazwi uNkulunkulu awakhulume mathupha. Imicabango yomuntu, vele, iyize, ayinakungena esikhundleni sobuso bukaNkulunkulu bangempela; isimo sikaNkulunkulu semvelo, nomsebenzi Wakhe uqobo ngeke umelwe umuntu. UNkulunkulu ongabonakali osezulwini nomsebenzi Wakhe kungalethwa emhlabeni uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kuphela ozenzela mathupha umsebenzi Wakhe phakathi kwabantu. Lena indlela enhle kakhulu uNkulunkulu avela ngayo kubantu, abantu abambona ngayo uNkulunkulu futhi bazi ubuso Bakhe, ngeke kufezwe uNkulunkulu ongekho esimweni somuntu. UNkulunkulu lapho esenze umsebenzi Wakhe kulesi sigaba, umsebenzi Wakhe usuvele usube nomphumela omuhle futhi ube impumelelo ephelele. Umsebenzi wamathupha kaNkulunkulu esenyameni usuyiqedile kakade ingxenye engamaphesenti angamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye yakho konke ukuphatha Kwakhe. Le nyama yenze kwaba nesiqalo esingcono kuwo wonke umsebenzi Wakhe, futhi iwukufingqwa kwawo wonke komsebenzi Wakhe, isabalalise wonke umsebenzi Wakhe, futhi isimemezele wonke umsebenzi Wakhe, yaphinde yagcwalisa ngokuphelele kuwo wonke lo msebenzi. Ukusuka lapho, ngeke kube nomunye uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ozokwenza isigaba sesine somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, futhi ngeke kusaba nomunye umsebenzi omangalisayo kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu okwesithathu.
Isigaba ngasinye somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni simela umsebenzi Wakhe wayo yonke inkathi, futhi asimeli inkathi ethile njengomsebenzi womuntu. Ngakho isiphetho somsebenzi Wakhe esesimweni somuntu wokugcina, asisho ukuthi umsebenzi usuphele ngokuphelele, ngoba umsebenzi Wakhe umela yonke inkathi, awumeli inkathi asuke enza ngayo umsebenzi Wakhe kuphela. Kumane kuwukuthi nje uqeda umsebenzi wayo yonke inkathi ngesikhathi esenyameni, ngemva kwalokho usabalele kuzo zonke izindawo. Ngemva kokuba uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu efeze inkonzo Yakhe, umsebenzi Wakhe olandelayo uyowunika abalandeli Bakhe. Ngale ndlela, umsebenzi Wakhe wayo yonke inkathi uyoqhubeka ungaphazamiseki. Umsebenzi wayo yonke inkathi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kuyothiwa uphelile uma ususabalale kuyo yonke indawo. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uyongenisa inkathi entsha, labo abayoqhubeka nomsebenzi Wakhe bayobe bengabantu abasetshenziswa Nguye. Wonke umsebenzi owenziwa umuntu ungaphansi kwenkonzo yomuntu kuNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, awukwazi ukudlula umthamo wawo. Uma uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu engezi azokwenza umsebenzi Wakhe, abantu ngeke bakwazi ukuqeda inkathi endala, futhi abakwazi ukungenisa inkathi entsha. Umsebenzi owenziwa umuntu umane uyilokho okungafezwa umuntu futhi awummeli uNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kuphela ongeza aqede umsebenzi okufanele awenze, ngaphandle Kwakhe, akekho omunye ongenza lo msebenzi. Eqinisweni, engikhuluma ngakho kumayelana nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu. Lo Nkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uqale enze isinyathelo somsebenzi esingahambisani nemicabango yomuntu, aphinde enze neminye futhi nayo engahambisani nemicabango yomuntu. Injongo yomsebenzi iwukunqotshwa komuntu. Ohlangothini olulodwa, uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu akahambisani nemicabango yomuntu, ngaphezu kokuthi wenza omunye umsebenzi ongahambisani nemicabango yomuntu, ngakho umuntu uba nemicabango engemihle Ngaye. Wenza nje umsebenzi wokunqoba phakathi kwabantu abanemicabango eminingi Ngaye. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi bamphatha kanjani, uma eseyifezile inkonzo Yakhe, bonke abantu bayoba ngaphansi kokubusa Kwakhe. Iqiniso lalo msebenzi akulona elamaShayina kuphela, kodwa umela sonke isintu esizonqoba. Imiphumela efezwe kulaba bantu yandulela ezofezwa kuso sonke isintu, futhi imiphumela yomsebenzi awenza esikhathini esizayo izokwedlula imiphumela kulaba bantu. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni awubandakanyi imikhosi emikhulu, futhi awuyona imfihlakalo. Ungowempela futhi ungokoqobo, ungumsebenzi lapho okukodwa uma ukuhlanganisa nokukodwa kwenza okubili. Awucashile kubantu futhi awukhohlisi muntu. Lokho abantu abakubonayo kuyizinto eziwuqobo nezangempela, futhi umuntu uzuza iqiniso langempela nolwazi. Lapho umsebenzi uphela, umuntu uzoba nolwazi olusha Ngaye, futhi labo abamfuna ngobuqotho uNkulunkulu ngeke besaba nemicabango Ngaye. Lo akuwona nje umthelela womsebenzi wakhe emaShayineni, kodwa futhi kumela nomthelela womsebenzi Wakhe ekunqobeni sonke isintu, ngoba ayikho into ezuzisa ngaphezu komsebenzi wokunqoba sonke isintu kunale nyama, nomsebenzi wale nyama, nayo yonke into ekule nyama. Bawusizo emsebenzini wakhe wanamuhla, futhi bayoba usizo kuwo nasesikhathini esizayo. Le nyama izonqoba sonke isintu futhi izozuza sonke isintu. Awukho umsebenzi ongcono kunalo lapho sonke isintu siyobona khona uNkulunkulu, simlalele futhi simazi uNkulunkulu. Umsebenzi owenziwe umuntu umela umthamo onomkhawulo, futhi lapho uNkulunkulu enza umsebenzi Wakhe akakhulumi nomuntu othile, kodwa ukhuluma nesintu sonke, nabo bonke abamukela amazwi Akhe. Isiphetho akhuluma ngaso esabo bonke abantu, akusona nje esomuntu othile. Akekho amphatha ngendlela ekhethekile, futhi akekho ambandlululayo, futhi usebenzela, ukhulumela, sonke isintu. Ngakho lo Nkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu usesihlukanisile sonke isintu ngokwezinhlobo zaso, usesahlulele sonke isintu, futhi usehlele isiphetho esifanele saso sonke isintu. Nakuba uNkulunkulu umsebenzi Wakhe ewenza eChina kuphela, eqinisweni usewuxazululile umsebenzi wendawo yonke. Akakwazi ukulinda kuze kube yilapho umsebenzi Wakhe ususabalale kuso sonke isintu ngaphambi kokuba akhulume amazwi Akhe nezinhlelo isinyathelo ngesinyathelo. Ingabe ngeke kwephuze kakhulu lokho? Manje usekulungele ngokugcwele ukuqeda umsebenzi Wakhe ozayo ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Ngoba Lowo osebenzayo uNkulunkulu esesimweni somuntu, wenza umsebenzi ongenamkhawulo ngomthamo onomkhawulo, ngemva kwalokho uzokwenza umuntu enze umsebenzi Wakhe; lona umgomo womsebenzi Wakhe. Angaphila isikhathi esithile kuphela nomuntu, futhi ngeke ahambe nomuntu kuze kube yilapho umsebenzi wenkathi usuphelile. Kungenxa yokuthi unguNkulunkulu njengoba ebikezela ikusasa ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Ngemva kwalokho, uzohlukanisa sonke isintu ngokohlobo lwabo ngamazwi Akhe, isintu singene emsebenzini wesinyathelo ngesinyathelo ngokwamazwi Akhe. Akekho oyophunyuka, futhi bonke bayozilungiselela ngalokhu. Ngakho esikhathini ezayo inkathi iyoqondiswa ngamazwi Akhe, hhayi uMoya.
Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni kumele wenziwe enyameni. Ukuba wenziwa ngokuqondileyo nguMoya kaNkulunkulu wawungeke ube nayo imiphumela. Ngisho ngabe wenziwa uMoya, umsebenzi wawungeke ube nokubaluleka ngalutho futhi ekugcineni wawungeke uthambise muntu. Zonke izidalwa zifisa ukwazi ukuthi umsebenzi woMdali unokubaluleka na, nalokho okumelayo, nokuthi ungowani, nokuthi ugcwele igunya nokuhlakanipha, noma unomsebenzi omkhulu nokubaluleka. Umsebenzi awenzayo owokusindisa sonke isintu, ngenjongo yokunqoba uSathane, nokuzifakazela kuzo zonke izinto. Ngenxa yalokhu umsebenzi awenzayo kumele ubaluleke kakhulu. Inyama yomuntu yonakaliswe uSathane, kanti-ke ayiboni, futhi ilimele kakhulu. Isizathu esibaluleke kakhulu esenza ukuthi uNkulunkulu asebenze enyameni ukuthi inhloso Yakhe ukusindisa abantu, abayinyama, nokuthi uSathane naye usebenzisa abantu ekuphazamiseni umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Impi noSathane empeleni ingumsebenzi wokunqoba umuntu, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo, umuntu uyinto uNkulunkulu afuna ukuyisindisa. Ngale ndlela, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, ubalulekile. USathane wonakalise inyama yomuntu, umuntu waphenduka umfuziselo kaSathane, futhi waba yinto uNkulunkulu okufanele ayehlule. Ngale ndlela, umsebenzi wokulwa noSathane nokusindisa isintu wenzeka emhlabeni, futhi uNkulunkulu kumele eze emhlabeni ukuze asindise isintu. Lona umsebenzi ongokoqobo kakhulu. Lapho uNkulunkulu esebenza enyameni, usuke empeleni elwa noSathane enyameni. Lapho esebenza enyameni, usuke enza umsebenzi Wakhe endaweni yomoya, enza wonke umsebenzi Wakhe endaweni yomoya ube owangempela emhlabeni. Onqotshwayo umuntu, ongamlaleli, ohlulwa umfuziselo kaSathane (eqinisweni nalona kusewumuntu), osebutheni Naye, futhi lowo oyosindiswa ekugcineni kusewumuntu. Ngale ndlela, kubaluleke kakhulu Kuye ukuba abe umuntu onengxenye engaphandle yesidalwa, ukuze alwe impi yangempela noSathane, anqobe umuntu, ongamlaleli, futhi onengxenye engaphandle enjengaye, asindise abantu oselinyazwe uSathane. Isitha sakhe umuntu, into alwela ukuyinqoba umuntu, owadalwa Nguye. Ngakho kumele abe umuntu, futhi ngale ndlela, umsebenzi Wakhe uba lula. Uyakwazi ukwehlula uSathane, anqobe isintu, ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwazi ukusindisa isintu. Nakuba le nyama ivamile futhi ingokoqobo, akanayo inyama evamile: Akayona inyama yomuntu kuphela, kodwa uneyomuntu nenobunkulnkulu. Lona ngumehluko wakhe kumuntu, futhi uphawu lwesiqu sikaNkulunkulu. Inyama efana nalena kuphela engenza umsebenzi ahlose ukuwenza, ifeze inkonzo kaNkulunkulu enyameni, iwufeze ngokugcwele umsebenzi Wakhe phakathi kwabantu. Ukuba bekungenjalo umsebenzi Wakhe ubuyohlale ungenalutho futhi ubuthakathaka. Ngisho noma uNkulunkulu angalwa futhi anqobe umoya kaSathane, imvelo endala yomuntu owonakele ayinakulungiswa, futhi labo abangamlaleli nabamelana Naye abasoze ngokweqiniso babe sekubuseni Kwakhe, okuwukuthi, akasoze asinqoba isintu, futhi ngeke asizuze sonke isintu. Uma umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni ungeke ulungiseke, ngakho ukuphatha Kwakhe ngeke kuphele, futhi sonke isintu asisoze sangena ekuphumuleni. Uma uNkulunkulu engakwazi ukungena ekuphumuleni nezidalwa Zakhe, ngeke ube bikho umphumela womsebenzi wokuphatha, futhi inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu iyonyamalala. Nakuba inyama Yakhe ingenalo igunya, umsebenzi awenzayo ubuyokufeza lokhu. Lokhu ukuqondisa okungenakuvinjwa komsebenzi Wakhe. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi inyama yakhe inalo igunya noma cha, uma nje uNkulunkulu esakwazi ukuzenzela umsebenzi, khona-ke unguNkulunkulu ozimele. Akunandaba ukuthi le nyama ibukeka ivame futhi ijwayeleke kangakanani, angawenza umsebenzi okufanele awenze, ngoba inyama Yakhe inguNkulunkulu ayiyena umuntu nje. Into eyenza le nyama yenze umsebenzi umuntu angeke awenze ukuthi isiqu Sakhe sangaphakathi asifani nesomuntu, futhi okungamenza asindise umuntu ukuthi isiqu Sakhe sihlukile kwesomuntu. Le nyama ibaluleke kakhulu esintwini ngoba ungumuntu, futhi unguNkulunkulu kakhulu, ngoba angenza umsebenzi umuntu ovamile oyinyama angeke akwazi ukuwenza, ngoba angasindisa umuntu okhohlakele, ophila Naye emhlabeni. Nakuba efana nomuntu, uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ubaluleke kunawo wonke umuntu obalulekile esintwini, ngoba angenza umsebenzi ongeke wenziwe uMoya kaNkulunkulu, angedlula uMoya kaNkulunkulu ekwethuleni ubufakazi ngoNkulunkulu uqobo, futhi angasizuza kangcono isintu kunoMoya kaNkulunkulu. Ngenxa yalokho, nakuba inyama ivamile futhi ijwayelekile, umnikelo nokubaluleka kwayo ekubeni khona kwesintu kuyigugu kakhulu, ukubaluleka kwangempela kwale nyama akunakucatshangwa umuntu. Nakuba le nyama ingenakumbhubhisa ngokuqondile uSathane, angasebenzisa umsebenzi Wakhe ukuze anqobe isintu futhi ehlule uSathane, enze uSathane awuthobele ngokugcwele umbuso Wakhe. Ngenxa kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, uNkulunkulu engakwazi ukunqoba uSathane asindise isintu. Akambhubhisi ngokuqondile uSathane, kodwa uba inyama ukuze enze umsebenzi wokunqoba isintu, esonakaliswe uSathane. Ngale ndlela, ukwazi kangcono ukwethula ubufakazi Kuye uqobo phakathi kwezidalwa, futhi ukwazi kangcono ukusindisa isintu esonakalisiwe. Ukunqoba uSathane kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kuwubufakazi obukhulu, kunamandla okuvumisa, ukwedlula ukubhujiswa ngokuqondile kukaSathane nguMoya kaNkulunkulu. UNkulunkulu osenyameni ukulungele kangcono ukusiza abantu ukuthi bazi uMdali, futhi ukulungele kangcono ukwethula ubufakazi Ngaye uqobo phakathi kwezidalwa.

Umthombo: IBandla LikaNkulunkulu USomandla
7. Kungani kuthiwa izimo ezimbili zikaNkulunkulu esenyameni ziphelelisa ukubaluleka kokuba sesimweni somuntu?
Izikhombo Zamavesi EBhayibheli:
“Kanjalo noKristu wanikelwa kanye ukuba athwale izono zabaningi; futhi kulabo abamfunayo uyakubonakala ngokwesibili ngaphandle kwesono kube ngukusindiswa” (Heberu 9:28).
“Ekuqaleni kwakukhona uLizwi, uLizwi wayenoNkulunkulu, futhi uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu” (Johane 1:1).
Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:
Ukuba senyameni kokuqala kwakungokokuhlenga isintu esonweni ngomzimba wenyama kaJesu, okuwukuthi, wasindisa umuntu esiphambanweni kodwa isimo sokukhohlakala kukaSathane kwasala kumuntu. Ukuba senyameni kwesibili akuseyikho ukusebenza njengomhlatshelo wesono kodwa ukusindisa ngokugcwele labo ababekhululwe esonweni. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuba labo abathethelelwe bakhululwe ezonweni zabo futhi bahlanzwe ngokuphelele ukuze bathole ukuguquka esimweni, ngalokho bagqashule ethonyeni lobumnyama bukaSathane babuyele phambi kwesihlalo sikaNkulunkulu. Kungale ndlela kuphela lapho umuntu eyongcweliswa ngokugcwele. UNkulunkulu uqale umsebenzi wensindiso eNkathini Yomusa ngemva kokuphela kweNkathi Yomthetho. UNkulunkulu ngeke aphethe umsebenzi Wakhe wokwahlulela nokusola umuntu ngokuvukela bese engena ekuphumuleni zingakafiki izinsuku zokugcina. Ngakho, ezigabeni ezintathu zomsebenzi, kukabili kuphela lapho uNkulunkulu ebe yinyama khona ukuze azenzele Yena mathupha umsebenzi kubantu. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi yisigaba esisodwa kuphela ezigabeni ezintathu zomsebenzi esiwukuhola abantu ezimpilweni zabo, ngenkathi lezi ezinye ziwumsebenzi wensindiso. UNkulunkulu angaphila nabantu kuphela lapho eba yinyama futhi akuzwe ukuhlupheka okusemhlabeni, nokuthi aphile enyameni yomuntu ojwayelekile. Kungaleyo ndlela kuphela lapho enganika umuntu oyisidalwa Sakhe izwi elisebenzisekayo alidingayo. Umuntu uthola insindiso egcwele evela kuNkulunkulu ngenxa kaNkulunkulu osenyameni, hhayi ngemithandazo abayithumela ezulwini. Ngoba umuntu uyinyama; akakwazi ukubona uMoya kaNkulunkulu futhi kunzima kakhulu ukuya Kuye. Umuntu angakwazi ukuzihlanganisa noNkulunkulu osenyameni; futhi ngaye kuphela angaqonda amazwi kanye namaqiniso futhi athole insindiso ephelele. Ukuba senyameni kwesibili kwanele ukususa izono zomuntu futhi kumcwebise ngokugcwele. Ngakho ukuba senyameni kwesibili kuzophetha wonke umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osenyameni futhi kuphelelise ukubaluleka kukaNkulunkulu osenyameni.

Lapho uJesu enza umsebenzi Wakhe, ulwazi lomuntu ngaye lwalungakacaci. Umuntu wayelokhu ecabanga ukuthi uyindodana kaDavide futhi emmemezela njengomphrofethi omkhulu neNkosi enomusa eyakhulula umuntu esonweni. Abanye, ngenxa yokholo, baphulukiswa ngokuthinta nje umphetho wengubo Yakhe; abangaboni base bebona ngisho nababefile babuyiselwa ekuphileni. Nokho, umuntu akazange ayithole impande ejulile yesimo sobuSathane esonakele kuye futhi akakwazanga ukuyilahla. Umuntu wathola umusa omkhulu, njengokuthula kanye nenjabulo enyameni, isibusiso sawo wonke umndeni ngenxa yokholo loyedwa, nokuphulukiswa kwabagulayo kanye nokunye. Okunye kwakuyizenzo ezinhle zomuntu kanye nokubonakala kwazo kobuNkulunkulu; uma umuntu ayengaphila ngaleyo ndlela, wayebhekwa njengekholwa elihle. Amakholwa anjalo kuphela ayengangena ezulwini ngemva kokufa, okusho ukuthi ayesindiswa. Kodwa, ekuphileni kwawo, awazange ayiqonde nhlobo indlela yokuphila. Ayemane enze izono, azivume njengenjwayelo ngaphandle kokuguqula izindlela zawo; zazinjalo izimo zabantu zemvelo ngeNkathi Yomusa. Ingabe abantu sebethole insindiso ephelele? Cha! Ngakho, ngemva kokuba leso sigaba sesiphelile, usekhona umsebenzi wokwahlulela nokusola. Lesi sigaba senza umuntu abe msulwa ngamazwi ukuze umuntu anikwe indlela okumele ayilandele. Lesi sigaba sasingeke sibe nezithelo noma nenjongo ukube saqhubeka ngokuxoshwa kwamadimoni, ngoba isimo sesono somuntu asinakuxoshwa futhi umuntu angakwazi kuphela ukuma uma exolelwa izono zakhe. Umuntu uxolelwe iziphambeko zakhe ngenxa yomnikelo wesono ngoba umsebenzi wokubethelwa usufike ekugcineni futhi uNkulunkulu usemnqobile uSathane. Kodwa isimo somuntu esingalungile sisephakathi kumuntu futhi umuntu usuke esengasenza isono futhi aphikisane noNkulunkulu; uNkulunkulu akakasizuzi isintu. Yingakho kulesi sigaba somsebenzi uNkulunkulu esebenzisa izwi ukuze embule ukungalungi kwesimo somuntu, aphinde acele ukuba umuntu enze ngendlela efanele. Lesi sigaba sibaluleke kakhulu kunesingaphambili futhi sinezinzuzo ezengeziwe, okwamanje yizwi elinika ngokuqondile umuntu ukuphila futhi lenze isimo somuntu sibe sisha ngokuphelele; yisigaba somsebenzi esenziwe ngokucophelela okukhulu. Ngakho, ukuba kukaNkulunkulu senyameni ezinsukwini zokugcina kugcwalise ukubaluleka kokuba kwakhe enyameni futhi kwaluphetha ngokugcwele uhlelo lokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu lokusindisa umuntu.

UNkulunkulu wokuqala owayesesimweni somuntu akazange awuqede umsebenzi wokuba sesimweni somuntu; waqeda isigaba sokuqala kuphela leso okwakubalulekile ukuba uNkulunkulu asenze esesimweni somuntu. Ngakho, ukuze aqede umsebenzi wokuba sesimweni somuntu, uNkulunkulu ubuyele enyameni futhi, ukuphila konke ukujwayeleka nobunjalo benyama, okungukuthi, enza ukuba iZwi likaNkulunkulu lizibonakalise enyameni ejwayelekile futhi evamile ngokuphelele, ngalokho ephetha umsebenzi ayewushiye engawuqedanga esesesimweni somuntu. Inyama yesibili ethathe isimo somuntu ngokwengqikithi isafana neyokuqala, kodwa ingokoqobo ngisho nakakhulu, ijwayeleke nakakhulu kuneyokuqala. Ngenxa yalokho, ubuhlungu uNkulunkulu wesibili osesimweni somuntu abubekezelelayo bukhulu kakhulu kunobokuqala, kodwa lokhu kuhlupheka kungenxa yenkonzo Yakhe esesimweni somuntu okuhlukile kunokuhlupheka komuntu owonakele. Futhi kuvela ekujwayelekeni neqiniso lenyama Yakhe. Ngenxa yokuthi wenza inkonzo Yakhe emzimbeni ongokoqobo nojwayelekile, inyama kumele ibhekane nokuhlushwa okukhulu. Ukuvama Kwakhe nokuba ngokoqobo kwenyama Yakhe, kusho ukuhlupheka okukhulu nakakhulu lapho enza inkonzo Yakhe. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uvezwa enyameni ejwayeleke kakhulu, engesona nhlobo isimangaliso.

Kusukela kulokho kuhlupheka le mizimba emibili esesimweni somuntu eyabhekana nakho lapho yenza izinkonzo Zayo, lokhu kwenza kubonakale ukubaluleka kwenyama ethathe isimo somuntu. Ukuvama Kwakhe nokuba ngokoqobo kwenyama Yakhe, kusho ukuhlupheka okukhulu nakakhulu okumele akubekezelele njengoba enza umsebenzi, abantu baba nombono omubi nakakhulu kwande nezingozi ezingamehlela. Nokho, lapho inyama iba ngokoqobo nakakhulu, yilapho iba nezidingo kanye nobuntu obujwayelekile nakakhulu, kuba yilapho ikwazi khona ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni. Kwakuyinyama kaJesu eyabethelwa esiphambanweni, inyama Yakhe le anikela ngayo njengomhlatshelo wesono; kwakungenyama enobuntu obujwayelekile anqoba ngayo uSathane futhi wasindisa umuntu esiphambanweni ngokuphelele. Futhi kulapho eyinyama ephelele lapho uNkulunkulu wesibili osesimweni somuntu enza umsebenzi wokunqoba futhi ehlule uSathane. Yinyama ejwayelekile futhi engokoqobo ngokuphelele kuphela engenza umsebenzi wokunqoba sewuwonke futhi inikeze ubufakazi obunamandla. Okuwukuthi, umsebenzi[a] wokunqoba umuntu wenziwa ukuba uphumelele ngeqiniso nokujwayeleka kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, hhayi ngezimangaliso nezambulo ezingaphezu kwamandla emvelo. Inkonzo yalo Nkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ukukhuluma, futhi ngaleyo ndlela anqobe futhi aphelelise umuntu; ngamanye amazwi, umsebenzi kaMoya owenzeka enyameni, umsebenzi wenyama, ukukhuluma bese ngalokho unqobe, wembule, uphelelise futhi ususe umuntu ngokuphelele. Ngakho, kungomsebenzi wokunqoba lapho umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni uyofezeka ngokugcwele. Umsebenzi wokuqala wokuhlenga wawungukuqala komsebenzi wokuba sesimweni somuntu; inyama eyenza umsebenzi wokunqoba izoqeda wonke umsebenzi wokuthatha isimo somzimba wenyama. Uma siwuhlukanisa ngokobulili, omunye ungowesilisa kanti omunye ungowesifazane; kulokhu, incazelo yokuthatha isimo somuntu kukaNkulunkulu seyiphelele. Le ncazelo iqeda imibono eyiphutha yabantu ngoNkulunkulu: UNkulunkulu angaba yikho kokubili owesilisa nowesifazane, futhi uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu eqinisweni akanabo ubulili. Wenza kokubili owesilisa nowesifazane futhi akehlukanisi ngokobulili. Kulesi sigaba somsebenzi uNkulunkulu akazenzi izibonakaliso nezimangaliso, ukuze umsebenzi uphumelele ngamazwi. Isizathu salokhu, ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuthi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu kulokhu akuwona owokuphulukisa abagulayo nokuxosha amadimoni, kodwa ungowokunqoba umuntu ngokukhuluma, okusho ukuthi ikhono eyazalwa nalo le nyama kaNkulunkulu ethathe isimo somuntu, ukukhuluma amazwi nokunqoba umuntu, hhayi ukwelapha abagulayo nokuxosha amadimoni. Umsebenzi Wakhe ebuntwini obujwayelekile akukhona ukuba enze izimangaliso, akukhona ukwelapha abagulayo nokuxosha amadimoni, kodwa ukukhuluma, ngakho inyama kaNkulunkulu yesibili ibonakala ijwayeleke kakhulu kubantu kuneyokuqala. Abantu bayabona ukuthi ukuba kukaNkulunkulu esimweni somuntu akuwona amanga; kodwa loNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu uhlukile kunoJesu osesimweni somuntu nakuba bobabili bengoNkulunkulu abasesimweni somuntu, kodwa abafani ncamashi. UJesu wayenobuntu obujwayelekile, ubuntu obuvamile, kodwa wayelandelwa izibonakaliso nezimangaliso eziningi. Kulo Nkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, amehlo abantu angeke abone izimangaliso noma izibonakaliso, noma ukuphulukisa abagulayo nokuxosha amadimoni, noma ukuhamba phezu kolwandle, noma ukuzila ukudla izinsuku ezingamashumi amane…. Akenzi umsebenzi ofana nalowo owenziwa uJesu, kungekhona ukuthi inyama Yakhe ihlukile kwekaJesu empeleni, kodwa ngenxa yokuthi akuyona inkonzo Yakhe ukuphulukisa abagulayo nokuxosha amadimoni. Akawudicileli phansi umsebenzi Wakhe noma aphazamise umsebenzi Wakhe. Njengoba enqoba umuntu ngamazwi Akhe angempela, asikho isidingo sokuba amthobise ngezimangaliso ngakho lesi sigaba singesokuqedela umsebenzi wokuba sebuntwini kukaNkulunkulu.

Kungani ngithi incazelo yokuba uNkulunkulu abe sesimweni somuntu ayipheleliswanga emsebenzini kaJesu? Yingenxa yokuthi uLizwi akabanga yinyama ngokuphelele. Lokho uJesu akwenza kuphela kwakuyingxenye yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu esesimweni somuntu; Wenza kuphela umsebenzi wokuhlenga futhi akazange awuqede umsebenzi wokuzuza umuntu ngokuphelele. Ngalesi sizathu, uNkulunkulu ube yinyama futhi ngezinsuku zokugcina. Lesi sigaba somsebenzi naso senziwa enyameni ejwayelekile, senziwe umuntu ojwayelekile kakhulu, obuntu bakhe obungababazeki nakancane. Ngamanye amazwi, uNkulunkulu ube umuntu ophelele, futhi ungumuntu obuntu bakhe bungobukaNkulunkulu, umuntu ophelele, inyama ephelele, owenza umsebenzi. Emehlweni omuntu, uyinyama nje engababazeki nhlobo, umuntu ojwayeleke kakhulu okhuluma ulimi lwasezulwini, ongabonisi zibonakaliso, ongenzi zimangaliso, kungasaphathwa ukuthi adalule iqiniso langempela ngenkolo emahholo amakhulu emihlangano. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu wesibili, ubonakala kubantu ungafani kakhulu nokaNkulunkulu wokuqala owayesesimweni somuntu kangangokuthi kusengathi akukho nokuncane kuyo okufanayo futhi akukho okwenziwa emsebenzini wokuqala okungabonakala kulesi sikhathi. Nakuba umsebenzi wenyama ethathe isimo somuntu yesibili uhlukile kunalowo weyokuqala, lokho akufakazi ukuthi umthombo wabo awuwodwa. Ukuthi umthombo Wabo uyafana yini, kuncike ekutheni uhlobo olunjani lomsebenzi owenziwe ngabantu abangokwenyama hhayi owenziwe yingaphandle Labo. Ngesikhathi sezigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi Wakhe, uNkulunkulu usebe sesimweni somuntu kabili, futhi kuzo zombili izikhathi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu othathe isimo somuntu uqala inkathi entsha, wethula umsebenzi omusha; ukuthatha umzimba womuntu kokubili kuyahambisana. Kuyinto engenakwenzeka ukuba amehlo omuntu abone ukuthi yomibili le mizimba empeleni ivela emthonjeni owodwa. Akubuzwa, kungaphezu kokubona komuntu noma ukucabanga komuntu. Kodwa engqikithini Yayo iyafana ngoba imisebenzi Yayo ivela kuMoya ofanayo. Ukuthi yomibili le mizimba ethathe isimo somuntu ivela emthonjeni ofanayo angeke kwahlulelwe ngesikhathi noma indawo ezalelwe kuyo, noma ezinye izinto ezifana nalezo, kodwa ngomsebenzi waphezulu obonakaliswe Yiyo. Umzimba othathe isimo somuntu wesibili awenzi nowodwa umsebenzi owenziwa nguJesu, ngoba umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu awuhambisani nalokho okubonakala eningini njengokulungile, kodwa isikhathi ngasinye uvula indlela entsha. Umzimba wesibili awuhlosile ukujulisa noma ukuqinisa umthelela womzimba wokuqala ezingqondweni zabantu, kodwa ukuhambisana nawo nokuwuphelelisa ukuze ulwazi ngoNkulunkulu lujule kubantu, nokuba ugqashule yonke imithetho esezinhliziyweni zabantu nokususa zonke izithombe eziyinkohliso ngoNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo. Kungashiwo ukuthi asikho nesisodwa isigaba somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uqobo esinganikeza umuntu ulwazi oluphelele Ngaye; isigaba ngasinye sinikeza ingxenye, hhayi lonke ulwazi Ngaye. Nakuba uNkulunkulu ezivezile isimo Sakhe ngokuphelele, ngenxa yokuthi ukuqonda komuntu kunomkhawulo, ulwazi lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu lulokhu lungaphelele. Kuyinto engenakwenzeka, ngokusebenzisa ulimi lwabantu, ukuveza isimo sikaNkulunkulu sisonke; kungasaphathwa ukuthi kuncane kangakanani isigaba ngasinye somsebenzi Wakhe esingakuveza ngoNkulunkulu ephelele? Usebenza esenyameni embozwe ubuntu Bakhe obujwayelekile, futhi umuntu angamazi kuphela ngezenzo zobunkulunkulu Bakhe kuphela, hhayi ngomzimba Wakhe obonakalayo. UNkulunkulu uba sesimweni somuntu ukuze avumele ukuba umuntu amazi ngemisebenzi Yakhe ehlukahlukene, futhi asikho isigaba somsebenzi Wakhe esifana nesinye. Yingale ndlela kuphela umuntu angaba khona nolwazi oluphelele ngomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu esenyameni, hhayi ngokubopheleka engxenyeni eyodwa

uJesu wenza isinyathelo somsebenzi owagcwalisa kuphela ubuqu bokuthi “uLizwi wayekuNkulunkulu”: Iqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu wayekuNkulunkulu, nokuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu wawusenyameni futhi ungasuki kuYe, okungukuthi, inyama kaNkulunkulu osenyameni yayinoMoya kaNkulunkulu, okungubufakazi obuqand’ikhanda bokuthi ukuba kukaJesu enyameni kwakungokokuqala uNkulunkulu esenyameni. Lesi sigaba somsebenzi sagcwalisekisa incazelo yangempela “kaLizwi eba yinyama,” saba nencazelo ejulile yokuthi “uLizwa wayekuNkulunkulu, uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu,” futhi sikwenza uwakholelwe ngokuqinile amazwi athi “Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi.” Okungukuthi, ngesikhathi kudalwa uNkulunkulu wayenamazwi, amazwi aKhe ayenaye engasuki kuYe, kanti inkathi yokugcina yenza kucace bha ngamandla negunya lamazwi aKhe, avumele abantu babone wonke amazwi Akhe—ukuzwa wonke amazwi aKhe. Unjalo umsebenzi wesigaba sokugcina. Kumele nizazi lezi zinto zonke. Akukona ukwazi inyama, kodwa ukwazi inyama noLizwi. Lokhu yilokhu okumele nibe ngofakazi bakho, lokhu okumele wonke umuntu akwazi. Ngenxa yokuthi lona ngumsebenzi wokuba senyameni kwesibili—okuyisikhathi sokugcina uNkulunkulu esenyameni—uphelelisa ngokugcwele ukubaluleka kokuba senyameni, wenza futhi uqhubekisela phambili ngokugcwele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu esenyameni, futhi uqeda inkathi yokuba senyameni kukaNkulunkulu.

Ngisho noma kulesi sigaba uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ubekezelela ubunzima noma wenza inkonzo Yakhe, wenza kanjalo ukuze aphelelise incazelo yokuba sesimweni somuntu, ngoba lokhu kungokokugcina esesimweni somuntu. UNkulunkulu angaba sesimweni somuntu kabili kuphela. Angeke kwenzeke okwesithathu. Okokuqala ukuthathwa komzimba wobuntu kwakungowesilisa, okwesibili kwakungowesifazane ngakho umfanekiso wenyama kaNkulunkulu uphelele emqondweni womuntu; ngaphezu kwalokho, kokubili ukuthathwa komzimba wobuntu sekuwuqedile kakade umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu enyameni.

Ukuba Sesimweni Somuntu Okubili Kuphelelisa Ukubaluleka Kokuba Sesimweni Somuntu
Isigaba ngasinye somsebenzi owenziwe nguNkulunkulu sinokubaluleka kwaso ngokoqobo. Kudala, lapho uJesu efika, wayengowesilisa, kodwa lapho uNkulunkulu eza manje, ungowesifazane. Ngalokhu, uyabona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wadala kokubili owesilisa nowesifazane ebadalela umsebenzi Wakhe, futhi Kuye awukho umehluko wobulili. Lapho uMoya Wakhe ufika, ungathatha noma yisiphi isimo senyama ngokuthanda, futhi leyo nyama ingammela. Noma owesilisa noma owesifazane, ingamela uNkulunkulu inqobo nje uma iyinyama Yakhe esesimweni somuntu. Ukuba uJesu wayebonakale njengowesifazane lapho efika, ngamanye amazwi, lapho umntwana wentombazane, hhayi womfana, wayethatshathwe ngoMoya oNgcwele, leso sigaba somsebenzi sasizoqedwa sonke noma kunjalo. Ukuba lokhu kwakunjalo, lesi sigaba somsebenzi bekuzodingeka ukuba siqedwe ngowesilisa futhi umsebenzi ubuzoqedwa noma kunjalo. Umsebenzi owenziwe kuzo zombili izigaba ubaluleke ngokulinganayo; awukho umsebenzi ophindwayo noma ongqubuzana nomunye. Ngaleso sikhathi, ekwenzeni umsebenzi Wakhe, uJesu wayebizwa ngeNdodana eyodwa, futhi “iNdodana” ikhombisa ubulili besilisa. Ngakho kungani iNdodana ezelwe iyodwa ingabalwa kulesi sigaba? Kungenxa yokuthi izidingo zomsebenzi zenze ukuba kube noguquko ebulilini obehlukile kobukaJesu. KuNkulunkulu akukho kuhlukanisa ngobulili. Wenza umsebenzi Wakhe njengoba efisa futhi ekwenzeni umsebenzi Wakhe akavinjelwa lutho, kodwa ukhululeke ngokukhethekile. Nokho isigaba ngasinye sinokubaluleka kwaso ngokoqobo. UNkulunkulu ube yinyama kabili, futhi lokhu kucace bha ukuthi ukuba sesimweni somuntu Kwakhe ezinsukwini zokugcina kungokokugcina. Uze ukuzokwambula zonke izenzo Zakhe. Ukuba kulesi sigaba ubengazange abe yinyama ukuze enze umsebenzi mathupha ukuze ubonwe ngumuntu, umuntu ubezohlala ebambelele emcabangweni wokuthi uNkulunkulu ungowesilisa kuphela, hhayi owesifazane. Ngaphambi kwalokhu, sonke isintu sasikholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu angaba owesilisa kuphela futhi owesifazane wayengeke akwazi ukubizwa ngoNkulunkulu, ngoba sonke isintu sasithatha indoda njengenegunya kowesifazane. Babekholwa ukuthi akekho owesifazane okufanele abe negunya, kodwa yindoda kuphela. Okunye, baze bathi indoda yinhloko yowesifazane nokuthi owesifazane kufanele alalele indoda futhi wayengeke ayedlule. Kudala, lapho kuthiwa indoda iyinhloko yowesifazane, lokhu kwakuqondiswe ku-Adamu no-Eva ababekhohliswe yinyoka, hhayi kowesilisa nowesifazane njengoba babedalwe nguJehova ekuqaleni. Kuyiqiniso, owesifazane kufanele alalele futhi athande umyeni wakhe, futhi indoda kufanele ifunde ukondla nokusekela umndeni wayo. Le yimithetho nezinqumo ezibekwe uJehova okufanele abantu baphile ngazo emhlabeni. UJehova wathi kowesifazane, “Ukunxanela kwakho kuyoba kumyeni wakho, futhi iyobusa phezu kwakho.” Lokhu wakusho kuphela ukuze isintu (okusho ukuthi, bobabili owesilisa nowesifazane) baphile impilo ejwayelekile ngaphansi kombuso kaJehova, futhi ukuze kuphela izimpilo zabantu zibe nokwakheka zingalahlekelwa ukuma kahle. Ngakho-ke, uJehova wenza imithetho efanele yokuthi owesilisa nowesifazane kufanele benze kanjani, kodwa lokhu kwakumayelana nakho konke okudaliwe okuphila emhlabeni futhi kwakungenabuhlobo nenyama kaNkulunkulu yobuntu. UNkulunkulu wayengafana kanjani nendalo Yakhe? Amazwi Akhe ayeqondiswe kuphela esintwini sendalo Yakhe; ayeyimithetho ebekelwe owesilisa nowesifazane ukuze isintu siphile impilo ejwayelekile. Ekuqaleni, ngesikhathi uJehova edala isintu, wadala bobalili owesilisa nowesifazane; ngakho-ke kunokwehlukaniswa ngokwesilisa nesifazane enyameni Yakhe yokuba sesimweni somuntu. Akazange anqume umsebenzi Wakhe ngokwamazwi awakhuluma ku-Adamu no-Eva. Izikhathi ezimbili athatha ngazo umzimba wenyama zanqunywa ngokuhambisana kahle ngokuphelele nokucabanga Kwakhe ngesikhathi eqala ukudala abantu, okusho ukuthi, waqeda umsebenzi wokuba sesimweni somuntu kabili, okusekelwe kowesilisa nowesifazane bengakonakali. Ukuba isintu sathatha amazwi akhulunywa nguJehova ku-Adamu no-Eva abase bekhohliswe yinyoka sawasebenzisa emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, ingabe uJesu naye kwakungeke kufanele athande inkosikazi Yakhe njengoba kufanele? Ngale ndlela, ngabe uNkulunkulu ubengaba esenguNkulunkulu? Uma kunjalo, wayengawuqeda umsebenzi Wakhe? Uma kungalungile ukuba umzimba kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ube ngowesifazane kwakungeke yini kube yiphutha elikhulu futhi lapho uNkulunkulu edala owesifazane? Uma umuntu esakholwa ukuthi ngeke kulunge ukuba uNkulunkuku athathe isimo somuntu wesifazane, ngabe-ke ngeke uJesu, ongazange ashade ngakho-ke wangakwazi ukuthanda inkosikazi Yakhe, abe sephutheni ngokufanayo nokuba sesimweni somuntu kwamanje? Njengoba usebenzisa amazwi uJehova awakhuluma ku-Eva ukulinganisa iqiniso lokuba sesimweni somuntu kukaNkulunkulu namhlanje, kuzofuneka usebenzise amazwi kaJehova ku-Adamu ukwehlulela iNkosi uJesu owaba yinyama ngeNkathi Yomusa. Ingabe lokhu okubili akufani? Njengoba wahlulela iNkosi uJesu ngokowesilisa ongazange akhohliswe yinyoka, awukwazi-ke ukwahlulela iqiniso lokuba sesimweni somuntu namuhla ngowesifazane owakhohliswa yinyoka. Akulungile lokhu! Uma wahlulela kanjalo, lokhu kubonisa ukuthi ulahlekelwe wumqondo. Ngesikhathi uJehova eba yinyama kabili, ubulili bokuba sesimweni somuntu Kwakhe babuhlobene nowesilisa nowesifazane abangazange bakhohliswe yinyoka; ube yinyama kabili ngokuhambelana nowesilisa nowesifazane abangazange bakhohliswe yinyoka. Ungacabangi ukuthi ukuba ngowesilisa kukaJesu kwakufana nokuka-Adamu owakhohliswa yinyoka. Akahlobene nhlobo naye, futhi bangabesilisa ababili abanemvelo eyehlukene. Ngempela ngeke kube yikhona ukuthi ukuba ngowesilisa kukaJesu kukhombisa ukuthi uyinhloko yabo bonke abesifazane kuphela kodwa hhayi eyabo bonke abesilisa? Akayona iNkosi yawo wonke amaJuda (kuhlanganise kokubili abesilisa nabesifazane)? UnguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe, hhayi nje inhloko yabesifazane kuphela kodwa inhloko yabesilisa futhi. UyiNkosi yazo zonke izidalwa kanye nenhloko yazo zonke izidalwa. Unganquma kanjani ukuthi ubulili bukaJesu buwuphawu lokuba yinhloko yabesifazane? Ingabe lokhu akukhona ukuhlambalaza? UJesu ungowesilisa ongakaze onakaliswe. UnguNkulunkulu; unguKristu; uyiNkosi. Angaba kanjani owesilisa njengo-Adamu owonakalisiwe? UJesu uyinyama embethwe nguMoya oNgcwele kakhulu kaNkulunkulu. Ungasho kanjani ukuthi unguNkulunkulu onobulili buka-Adamu? Ngakho kwakungeke yini kube wonke umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ubungalungile? Ingabe uJehova wayengakwazi ukufaka kuJesu ubulili buka-Adamu owakhohliswa yinyoka? Ingabe ukuba sesimweni somuntu manje akuwona omunye umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ohlukile ngobulili kuJesu kodwa ofanayo ngemvelo? Ingabe usalokotha uthi uNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ngeke abe ngowesifazane, ngoba owesifazane waba ngowokuqala ukukhohliswa yinyoka? Ingabe usalokotha ukuthi, njengoba owesifazane engongcole kakhulu nowumthombo wenkohlakalo yesintu, uNkulunkulu ubengeke akwazi ukuba sesimweni somuntu wesifazane? Ingabe usalokotha uthi “owesifazane uyohlala elalela owesilisa futhi akasoze abonakalise noma amele uNkulunkulu ngokuqondile”? Awuqondanga ngesikhathi esedlule, kodwa ungabuye uhlambalaze umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu namanje, ikakhulu inyama kaNkulunkulu esesimweni somuntu? Uma ungeke ukubone ngokucace kakhulu lokhu, kungcono ubheke ulimi lwakho, funa ubuwula nokungazi kwakho kwembulwe nobubi bakho budalulwe. Ungacabangi ukuthi uqonda yonke into. Ngikutshela ukuthi konke okubonile nokwazile akwenele ukuba ungaqonda ngisho okukodwa enkulungwaneni yohlelo Lwami lokuphatha. Pho kungani uqhosha kangaka? Ingxenyana yethalente nje nolwazana onalo akwanele ukusetshenziswa ngisho umzuzwana nje emsebenzini kaJesu! Unolwazi olungakanani ngempela? Okubonile nakho konke okuzwile empilweni yakho nalokho okucabangile kuncane kunomsebenzi engiwenza ngomzuzu! Kuhle ukuba ungathungathi futhi ufune amaphutha. Noma ngabe uzidla kanganani, useyisidalwa esincanyana kunentuthwane! Konke lokho okusesiswini sakho kuncanyana kunalokho okusesiswini sentuthwane! Ungacabangi, ukuthi ngoba usuzuze ulwazi oluthile nobukhulu, lokhu kukunika ilungelo lokubhenguza nokukhuluma okukhulu. Ingabe ulwazi lwakho nobukhulu bakho abuwona umphumela wamazwi engiwakhulumile? Ukholwa ukuthi kwakungawokuhwebelana ngenxa yokusebenza kanzima kwakho? Namuhla, ubona ukuthi sengibe yinyama, bese kuthi ngenxa yalokhu kuphela usugcwele imiqondo eminingi, futhi usufunde imicabango engenakubalwa kuyona. Ukuba bekungekhona ukuba Kwami sesimweni somuntu, ngisho ngabe ubunamathalente angavamile kangakanani, ubungeke ube nemiqondo eminingi kangaka; futhi akukhona lapho imicabango yakho yavela khona? Ukuba uJesu wayengakaze abe sesimweni somuntu okokuqala, wawuyokwazi ngokuba sesimweni somuntu? Akungenxa yokuthi ukuba sesimweni somuntu okokuqala kwakunikeza ulwazi olwenza ube nesibindi sokwahlulela ukuba sesimweni somuntu okwesibili? Kungani, esikhundleni sokuba ngumlandeli olalelayo, ukucwaninge? Lapho usungene kulo mgudu weza phambi kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu, angakuvumela ukuba ukufunde? Kuhle ukuba ufunde umlando womndeni wakho, kodwa uma uzama ukucwaninga “ngomlando womndeni” kaNkulunkulu angakuvumela uNkulunkulu wanamuhla ukuba wenze lokho kucwaninga? Ingabe awuyona impumputhe? Awuzidonseli ukucasukelwa?
Ukuba nje umsebenzi kaJesu wawenziwe ngaphandle kokugcwaliswa ngomsebenzi kulesi sigaba sezinsuku zokugcina, umuntu ubezohlala ebambelele emqondweni wokuthi uJesu kuphela oyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, okusho ukuthi uNkulunkulu unendodana eyodwa kuphela, nokuthi noma ubani oza ngemva kwalokho nelinye igama ngeke abe yiNdodana eyodwa kaNkulunkulu, ingasaphathwa eyokuba nguNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe. Umuntu unomcabango wokuthi lowo osebenza njengomnikelo wesono noma othatha amandla egameni likaNkulunkulu futhi ahlenge sonke isintu, yiNdodana eyodwa kaNkulunkulu. Kukhona abanye abakholwa ukuthi inqobo nje uma kungowesilisa ozayo, angathathwa njengeNdodana eyodwa kaNkulunkulu nomele uNkulunkulu, futhi kukhona ngisho nalaba abathi uJesu uyiNdodana kaJehova, iNdodana Yakhe okungukuphela kwayo. Ingabe lokhu akuwona umcabango ojulile womuntu? Ukuba lesi sigaba somsebenzi asenziwanga enkathini yokugcina, ngalokho bonke abantu bebezombozwa yithunzi elimnyama uma kuza kuNkulunkulu. Ukuba kunjalo, owesilisa ubezocabanga ukuthi usesikhundleni esiphezulu kunowesifazane, kanti abesifazane bebengeke bakwazi nokuhambela phezulu, futhi akekho noyedwa owesifazane obengakwazi ukusindiswa. Abantu njalo bakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu ungowesilisa, nokuthi umbukela phansi owesifazane futhi ngeke amnikeze insindiso owesifazane. Uma kunjalo, bekungebe iqiniso ukuthi bonke abesifazane, abadalwe nguJehova nabonakalisiwe abasoze balithole ithuba lokusindiswa? Ngakho bekungeke kubonakale sengathi kwakungenamqondo ukuba uJehova adale owesifazane, okusho ukuthi, adale u-Eva? Futhi ingabe owesifazane ubengeke abhubhe kuze kube phakade? Ngakho-ke, lesi sigaba somsebenzi ezinsukwini zokugcina esokwenziwa ukuze kusindiswe sonke isintu, hhayi abesifazane kuphela. Uma kukhona ocabanga ukuthi, uma uNkulunkulu eba sesimweni somuntu njengowesifazane, bekuyoba kuphela ukuze asindise owesifazane, lowo muntu uzobe uyisiwula esiphindiwe!
Umsebenzi osuwenziwa manje usuqhubele phambili umsebenzi weNkathi Yomusa; okusho ukuthi, umsebenzi wohlelo lokuphatha weminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha uqhubekele phambili. Yize iNkathi Yomusa isiphelile, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uqhubekele phambili. Kungani ngisho isikhathi nesikhathi ukuthi lesi sigaba somsebenzi sakhela phezu kweNkathi Yomusa neNkathi Yomthetho? Lokhu kusho ukuthi umsebenzi wanamuhla ungukuqhubeka komsebenzi owenziwe ngeNkathi Yomusa nokuphakanyiswa kwalowo owenziwe ngeNkathi Yomthetho. Izigaba ezintathu zihlangene kakhulu futhi ikhongco ngalinye eketangweni lixhumene ngokuqinile kwelinye. Kungani ngibuye ngithi lesi sigaba somsebenzi sakhele kulowo owenziwa uJesu? Uma lesi sigaba singakhelanga emsebenzini owenziwe uJesu, bekuyofuneka kube khona okunye ukubethelwa kulesi sigaba, futhi umsebenzi wokuhlenga owenziwe ngaphambilini bekuzodingeka ukuba uphindwe. Lokhu bekungeke kube namqondo. Ngakho-ke, akusho ukuthi umsebenzi usuphele nya, kodwa ukuthi inkathi iqhubekele phambili futhi nezinga lomsebenzi seliphakanyiselwe phezudlwana kunakuqala. Kungathiwa lesi sigaba somsebenzi sakhelwe esisekelweni seNkathi Yomthetho nedwala lomsebenzi kaJesu. Umsebenzi wakhiwa ngesigaba nesigaba, kanti lesi sigaba asikhona ukuqala kabusha. Ngukuhlangana kuphela kwezigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi okungathiwa uhlelo lokuphatha lweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha. Umsebenzi kulesi sigaba wenziwe esisekelweni somsebenzi weNkathi Yomusa. Ukuba lezi zigaba ezimbili zomsebenzi azihlobene, kungani ukubethelwa kungaphindwa kulesi sigaba? Kungani ngingathwali izono zomuntu? Angifiki ngokuthatshathwa ngoMoya oNgcwele, futhi angithwali izono zomuntu ngokubethelwa; kodwa, ngilapha ukuze ngisole umuntu ngokuqondile. Ukuba ukusola Kwami umuntu nokufika Kwami manje ngokungathatshathwa ngoMoya oNgcwele akulandelanga ukubethelwa bengingeke ngifanele ukusola abantu. Ngempela kungenxa yokuthi ngimunye noJesu ukuthi ngiza ngokuqondile ukuzosola nokwahlulela umuntu. Lesi sigaba somsebenzi sakhele ngokuphelele phezu kwesigaba esingaphambili. Yingakho kungumsebenzi onjalo kuphela ongaletha umuntu ensindisweni, isinyathelo ngesinyathelo. Mina noJesu sivela eMoyeni owodwa. Noma inyama yethu ingenabudlelwano, uMoya Wethu munye; yize ingqikithi yesikwenzayo nomsebenzi esiwenzayo kungefani, ingqikithi Yethu iyefana; inyama Yethu ithatha izimo ezihlukene, kodwa lokhu kwenziwa yinguquko enkathini nokwehlukana kwezidingo zomsebenzi Wethu; izinkonzo Zethu azifani, ngakho umsebenzi esiwenzayo nesimo esisembula kumuntu nakho akufani. Kungakho lokhu umuntu akubonayo nakuqondayo namuhla kungafani nokwedlule; lokhu kwenziwa ukuguquka kwenkathi. Yize ubulili nesimo senyama Yabo kwehlukene noma bengazalwa emndenini munye, nangasikhathi sinye, uMoya Wabo noma kunjalo munye. Noma inyama yabo ingenabo ubudlelwane begazi nenyama nganoma iyiphi indlela, lokhu akukuphikisi ukuthi bawukuba sesimweni somuntu kukaNkulunkulu ngezikhathi ezimbili ezingefani. Yiqiniso elingephikwe ukuthi bayinyama esesimweni somuntu kukaNkulunkulu, yize bengenagazi elifanayo noma ulimi oluvamile lwabantu (omunye wayengowesilisa okhuluma ulimi lwamaJuda omunye ungowesifazane okhuluma isiShayina kuphela). Yilezi zizathu ezenze baphile emazweni ukuze benze umsebenzi okumele bobabili bawenze, nasezikhathini ezehlukene futhi. Ngaphandle kokuba Moya munye, banengqikithi eyodwa, akukho ukufana koqobo phakathi kwamagobolondo enyama Yabo yangaphandle. Bafana ngobuntu kuphela, kodwa ukubukeka nokuzalwa kwenyama Yabo akufani. Lokhu akunamthelela emisebenzini Yabo ehlukene noma ulwazi umuntu analo Ngabo, ngoba, ekugcineni, bawuMoya munye futhi akekho ongabahlukanisa. Noma bengahlobene ngegazi, ububona Babo bonke buphethe uMoya Wabo, obahlukanisela umsebenzi ongefani ngezikhathi ezingefani, nenyama Yabo uyinike izinhlobo ezehlukene zegazi. UMoya kaJehova awuyena uyise woMoya kaJesu, noMoya kaJesu awuyona indodana yoMoya kaJehova. BaMoya munye. NjengoNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu wale mihla noJesu nje. Yize bengahlobene ngegazi, Bamunye; lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uMoya Wabo munye. Angenza umsebenzi womusa nesisa, kanye nalowo wokwahlulela ngokulunga nokusolwa kwabantu, nowokuqalekiswa kwabantu; futhi ekugcineni, angenza umsebenzi wokubhubhisa umhlaba nokujezisa ababi. Ingabe akakwenzi lokhu ngoKwakhe? Ingabe lokhu akukhona ukuba namandla onke kukaNkulunkulu? Wakwazi kokubili ukushayela abantu imithetho nokumnika imiyalelo, futhi wakwazi ukuhola ama-Israyeli asendulo ukuba aphile izimpilo zawo emhlabeni aphinde awaqondise ukuba akhe ithempeli nama-altare, ebusa phezu kwawo wonke ama-Israyeli. Ngokwethembela egunyeni Lakhe, wahlala nabo emhlabeni iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili. Abakwa-Israyeli bebengelokothe bamhlubuke; bonke babehlonipha uJehova kakhulu begcina imiyalelo Yakhe. Lo kwakuwumsebenzi owenziwa ngokwethembela egunyeni Lakhe nokuba namandla onke Kwakhe. Kwathi, eNkathini Yomusa, uJesu weza ukuzohlenga sonke isintu esiwile (hhayi ama-Israyeli kuphela). Wakhombisa umusa nesisa kubantu. UJesu owabonwa abantu eNkathini Yomusa wayegcwele isisa futhi wayehlala enothando kubantu, ngoba wayeze ukuzosindisa isintu esonweni. Wayekwazi ukuxolela abantu izono zabo kwaze ukubethelwa Kwakhe kwasindisa isintu ngokuphelele ezonweni. Ngaleso sikhathi, uNkulunkulu wavela kubantu ngomusa nangesisa; okusho ukuthi, waba ngumnikelo wesono wabantu futhi wabethelwa ngenxa yezono zabantu ukuze baxolelwe kuze kube phakade. Wayenomusa, uzwelo, ukubekezela nothando. Futhi bonke labo ababelandela uJesu ngeNkathi Yomusa ngokufanayo babefuna ukuba nokubekezela nothando kuzo zonke izinto. Babebekezela, futhi abazange baziphindiselele ngisho sebeshaywa, beqalekiswa, noma bekhandwa ngamatshe. Kodwa akunjalo kulesi sigaba sokugcina. Ngokufanayo, noma uMoya wabo wawumunye, umsebenzi kaJesu nokaJehova wawungafani ncimishi. Umsebenzi kaJehova wawungewona owokuqeda inkathi kodwa ukuyiqondisa, ungenisa impilo yesintu emhlabeni. Noma kunjalo, umsebenzi manje ukunqoba labo bantu abonakaliswe kakhulu ezizweni zabeZizwe, nokungaholi kuphela umndeni waseShayina kodwa umhlaba wonke jikelele. Kungabonakala kuwe ukuthi lo msebenzi wenziwa kuphela eShayina, kodwa empeleni, usuqalile ukwanda naphesheya. Kungani abantu abavela kwamanye amazwe, njalo nje, befuna indlela yangempela? Kungenxa yokuthi uMoya useqalile ukwenza umsebenzi Wakhe, futhi amazwi akhulunywayo manje aseqondiswe kubantu bomhlaba wonke jikelele. Ngalokhu, ingxenye yomsebenzi isiqalile. Ukusuka ekudalweni komhlaba kuze kufike manje uMoya kaNkulunkulu useqale umsebenzi omkhulu kakhulu, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho sewenze imisebenzi ehlukene ngezinkathi ezahlukene futhi ezizweni ezahlukene. Abantu benkathi ngayinye babona isimo Sakhe esehlukile, esivezwa ngokwemvelo yimisebenzi ehlukene ayenzayo. UnguNkulunkulu, ogcwele umusa nesisa, ungumnikelo wesono wabantu futhi ungumelusi wabantu kepha ubuye abe ukwahlulelwa komuntu, ukusola nesiqalekiso. Angahola umuntu ukuba aphile emhlabeni iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili abuye ahlenge isintu esonakele esonweni. Namuhla, uyakwazi nokunqoba isintu esingamazi asenze sibe ngaphansi kombuso Wakhe, ukuze sonke sizithobe ngaphansi Kwakhe ngokuphelele. Ekugcineni, uzoshisa konke okungcolile nokungalungile kubantu emhlabeni wonke jikelele, ukubakhombisa ukuthi akayena uNkulunkulu womusa nothando kuphela, uNkulunkulu wobuhlakani nezimangaliso kuphela, uNkulunkulu ongcwele kuphela, kodwa ngaphezu kwalokho, unguNkulunkulu owahlulela abantu. Kulabo ababi phakathi kwabantu, ungukushisa, ukwahlulela kanye nokusola; kulabo okufanele bapheleliswe, uwukuhlupheka, ukucwengwa, ukulingwa kanye nokunethezeka, ukuhlinzekwa, ukunikezwa amazwi, ukubheka, nokuthena. Kanti kulabo abakhishiwe, uwukujezisa kanye nokushaywa. Ake ungitshele, ingabe uNkulunkulu akayena onamandla onke? Angawenza wonke futhi noma yimuphi umsebenzi, hhayi ukubethelwa kuphela njengoba ubucabanga. Uthathela uNkulunkulu phansi kakhulu! Ukholwa ukuthi konke angakwenza ukuhlenga sonke isintu ngokubethelwa Kwakhe bese kuphela lapho? Nokuthi okulandela lokhu, uzomlandela ukuya ezulwini bese udla isithelo esisemthini wokuphila uphinde uphuze emfuleni wokuphila? … Bekungaba lula kanjalo? Ngitshele, ufezeni? Unakho ukuphila kukaJesu? Ngempela wahlengwa nguye, kodwa ukubethelwa kwaba umsebenzi kaJesu uqobo Lwakhe. Msebenzi muni owugcwalisile njengomuntu? Unobumnene obungaphandle kuphela kodwa awuyiqondi indlela Yakhe. Yile ndlela omveza ngayo? Uma ungakakutholi ukuphila kukaNkulunkulu noma wabona ukuphelela kokulunga kwesimo Sakhe, ngakho awukwazi ukusho ukuthi ungulowo onokuphila, futhi awufanele ukudlula esangweni lombuso wezulu.
UNkulunkulu akawona uMoya kuphela, angabuye abe yinyama; ngaphezu kwalokho, ungumzimba wenkazimulo. UJesu, yize ningakaze nimbone, wabonwa ama-Israyeli, okusho ukuthi, amaJuda angaleso sikhathi. Waqala enomzimba wenyama, kodwa ngemva kokubethelwa, waba ngumzimba wenkazimulo. UnguMoya ozungeze konke futhi angenza umsebenzi kuzo zonke izindawo. Angaba nguJehova, noma uJesu, noma uMesiya futhi ekugcineni angaba uNkulunkulu uSomandla. Ungukulunga, ukwahlulela, nokusola; ungukuqalekisa nolaka; kodwa ubuye abe umusa nesisa. Wonke umsebenzi awenzile uyakwazi ukummela. Uthi uluhlobo luni lukaNkulunkulu? Ungeke ukwazi ukumchaza. Ungamane uthi, “Ngeke ngikwazi ukuchaza ukuthi unguNkulunkulu onjani”? Ungafiki esiphethweni sokuthi uNkulunkulu uzohlala enguNkulunkulu womusa nesisa, ngenxa yokuthi wenze umsebenzi wokuhlenga esigabeni esisodwa. Ungaqiniseka ukuthi unguNkulunkulu onomusa nothando kuphela? Uma enguNkulunkulu onomusa nothando, kungani ezophetha inkathi ngezinsuku zokugcina? Kungani ezokwehlisa izinhlekelele eziningi kangaka? Uma kunjengoba ucabanga, ukuthi unomusa nothando kubantu kuze kube sekupheleni, kuze kube senkathini yokugcina, kungani-ke ezokwehlisa izinhlekelele zisuka ezulwini? Uma ethanda umuntu njengoba ezithanda nanjengoba ethanda iNdodana Yakhe eyodwa, kungani-ke ezokwehlisa izinhlupho nezichotho zisuka ezulwini? Kungani evumela abantu babulawe yindlala nezifo? Kungani evumela abantu bahlushwe yilezi zinhlekelele? Akekho kini ongalokotha asho ukuthi unguNkulunkulu onjani, futhi akekho okwazi ukuchaza. Ungaqiniseka ukuthi unguMoya? Ungalokotha uthi akayena omunye ngaphandle kwenyama kaJesu? Futhi ungalokotha uthi unguNkulunkulu oyohlala ebethelwa ngenxa yabantu?

Ngaphezu kwalokho, kumele uqonde ukuthi amazwi anamuhla anguNkulunkulu, futhi kumele uwabone amazwi eba yinyama. Lobu yibona bufakazi obukhulu ongaba nabo. Lokhu kufakazela ukuthi unolwazi lweqiniso ngolwazi lukaNkulunkulu eba yinyama—awukwazi ukumazi nokumehlukanisa kuphela, kodwa uyazi ukuthi indlela ohamba ngayo namuhla yindlela yokuphila, nendlela yeqiniso. uJesu wenza isinyathelo somsebenzi owagcwalisa kuphela ubuqu bokuthi “uLizwi wayekuNkulunkulu”: Iqiniso lokuthi uNkulunkulu wayekuNkulunkulu, nokuthi uMoya kaNkulunkulu wawusenyameni futhi ungasuki kuYe, okungukuthi, inyama kaNkulunkulu osenyameni yayinoMoya kaNkulunkulu, okungubufakazi obuqand’ikhanda bokuthi ukuba kukaJesu enyameni kwakungokokuqala uNkulunkulu esenyameni. Lesi sigaba somsebenzi sagcwalisekisa incazelo yangempela “kaLizwi eba yinyama,” saba nencazelo ejulile yokuthi “uLizwa wayekuNkulunkulu, uLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu,” futhi sikwenza uwakholelwe ngokuqinile amazwi athi “Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi.” Okungukuthi, ngesikhathi kudalwa uNkulunkulu wayenamazwi, amazwi aKhe ayenaye engasuki kuYe, kanti inkathi yokugcina yenza kucace bha ngamandla negunya lamazwi aKhe, avumele abantu babone wonke amazwi Akhe—ukuzwa wonke amazwi aKhe. Unjalo umsebenzi wesigaba sokugcina. Kumele nizazi lezi zinto zonke. Akukona ukwazi inyama, kodwa ukwazi inyama noLizwi. Lokhu yilokhu okumele nibe ngofakazi bakho, lokhu okumele wonke umuntu akwazi.

(Isiqephu Sezwi LikaNkulunkulu Esikhethiwe)
UKristu Wezinsuku Zokugcina Kuphela Onganika Umuntu Indlela Yokuphila Ingunaphakade
Indlela yokuphila akusiyo into engaba ekanoma ubani, futhi ayitholwa yibo bonke abantu kalula. Lokhu kwenziwa ukuthi ukuphila kuvela kuNkulunkulu kuphela, okusho ukuthi, uNkulunkulu kuphela onesiqu sokuphila, ayikho enye indlela yokuphila ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu Uqobo, ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu kuphela owumthombo wokuphila, futhi uwumthombo wamanzi okuphila ahlala egeleza. Kusukeka ngesikhathi edala umhlaba, uNkulunkulu wenze umsebenzi omningi obandakanya ukubaluleka kokuphila, wenze umsebenzi omningi onika umuntu ukuphila, futhi wakhokha inani elikhulu ukuze umuntu aphinde abe nokuphila, ngoba uNkulunkulu Uqobo uwukuphila okungunaphakade, futhi uNkulunkulu Uqobo uyindlela umuntu avuswa ngayo. UNkulunkulu uhlala ekhona enhliziyweni yomuntu, futhi uphila phakathi komuntu ngaso sonke isikhathi. Nguye obeqhubekisa ukuphila komuntu, isisekelo sobukhona bomuntu, futhi utshale lukhulu ukuze umuntu aphile emuva kokuzalwa. Wenza umuntu azalwe kabusha, futhi wenza akwazi ukuphila endimeni nendima okumele abe kuyo. Sibonga amandla Akhe, kanye namandla Akhe okuphila angeshatshalaliswe, umuntu uphile izizukulwane eziningi, kukho konke amandla kaNkulunkulu yiwo akade enza ukuthi umuntu aqhubeke nokuba khona, futhi uNkulunkulu ukhokhe inani umuntu ojwayelekile angakaze alikhokhe. Amandla empilo kaNkulunkulu angachuma kunanoma amaphi amandla, phezu kwalokho, edlula wonke amandla. Ukuphila Kwakhe kungunaphakade, amandla Akhe makhulu ngokwedlulele, futhi amandla Akhe okuphila awehlulwa yinoma yini edaliwe noma amandla esitha. Amandla kaNkulunkulu akhona, futhi akhanyisa bha, noma ngabe yisiphi isikhathi noma indawo. Izulu nomhlaba kungaba nezinguquko ezinkulu, kodwa ukuphila kukaNkulunkulu kuhlala kufana. Zonke izinto ziyedlula, kodwa ukuphila kukaNkulunkulu kulokhu kumile, ngoba uNkulunkulu ungumthombo wobukhona bazo zonke izinto, futhi ungumsuka wobukhona bazo. Ukuphila komuntu kuvela kuNkulunkulu, izulu likhona ngenxa kaNkulunkulu, futhi ubukhona bomhlaba busuka emandleni okuphila kukaNkulunkulu. Akukho okubalulekile okungadlula ubukhulu bukaNkulunkulu, futhi akukho okunamandla okuphuma emandleni okuphathwa nguNkulunkulu. Ngale ndlela, ngisho noma bangobani, bonke abantu kumele bathobele ukubusa kukaNkulunkulu, bonke abantu kumele baphile ngaphansi kokulawulwa uNkulunkulu, futhi akekho umuntu ongaphunyuka elulawuleni Kwakhe.
Mhlawumbe, manje, ufisa ukuthola ukuphila, noma mhlawumbe ufisa ukuthola iqiniso. Noma ngabe yikuphi, ufisa ukuthola uNkulunkulu, ukuthola uNkulunkulu ongancika kuye, futhi ongakunika ukuphila okuyingunaphakade. Uma ufisa ukuthola ukuphila okungunaphakade, kumele uqale uqonde umthombo wokuphila ingunaphakade, futhi kumele uqale wazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukuphi. Bese ngishilo ukuthi uNkulunkulu kuphela ongukuphila okungashintshi, futhi uNkulunkulu kuphela onendlela yokuphila. Njengoba ukuphila Kwakhe kungashintshi, ngakho kungokwengunaphakade; njengoba kuwuNkulunkulu kuphela indlela yokuphila, ngakho uNkulunkulu Uqobo uyindlela yokuphila okuphakade. Njengoba kumele uqale uqonde ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukuphi, nokuthi le ndlela yokuphila ingunaphakade itholakala kanjani. Manje masifunde ngalezi zindaba ezimbili ngokwahlukana.
Uma ufisa ukuthola indlela eya ekuphileni kwaphakade ngokweqiniso, futhi uma ukulambele ngokweqiniso ngenkathi ukufuna, kumele uqale ngokuphendula lo mbuzo: Ukuphi uNkulunkulu namuhla? Mhlawumbe uzophendula ngokuthi uNkulunkulu uhlala ezulwini, vele—ubengeke Aphile ekhaya lakho, angithi? Mhlawumbe ungathi, vele uNkulunkulu uphila phakathi kwazo zonke izinto. Noma ungathi uNkulunkulu uphila enhliziyweni yomuntu ngamunye, noma uNkulunkulu usemhlabeni womoya. Angikuphiki konke lokhu, kodwa kumele ngicacise le ndaba. Akusilo iqiniso ngokugcwele ukuthi uNkulunkulu uphila enhliziyweni yomuntu, kodwa futhi akusilo iphutha ngokugcwele. Lokhu kubangelwa ukuthi, phakathi kwabantu abakholelwa kuNkulunkulu kukhona labo abakholwa ngokweqiniso kanye nalabo abakholwa ngokungeyikho okweqiniso, kukhona labo abagunyazwa uNkulunkulu kanye nalabo angabagunyazi, kukhona labo abamuthokozisayo kanye nalabo abazondayo, futhi kunalabo abalungisayo kanye nalabo abachithayo. Ngakho ngithi uNkulunkulu uphila ezinhliziyweni zabantu abambalwa, futhi labo bantu akungatshazwa ukuthi yilabo abakholelwa kuNkulunkulu ngokweqiniso, labo abagunyazwe uNkulunkulu, labo abamthokozisayo, kanye nalabo abalungisisayo. Kukhona labo abaholwa uNkulunkulu. Njengoba beholwa uNkulunkulu, bangabantu asebezwile futhi ababone indlela kaNkulunkulu yokuphila okungunaphakade. Labo abakholelwa kuNkulunkulu ngendlela engasilo iqiniso, labo abangagunyazwa uNkulunkulu, labo abamcasulayo uNkulunkulu, labo abachithwa uNkulunkulu—nakanjani bayochithwa uNkulunkulu, nakanjani bazosala bengenayo indlela yokuphila, futhi nakanjani bayohlala bengazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukuphi. Kolunye uhlangothi, labo uNkulunkulu ahlala ezinhliziyweni zabo bayazi ukuthi ukuphi. Bangabantu uNkulunkulu abanike indlela yokuphila ingunaphakade, futhi yibo abalandela uNkulunkulu. Sewuyazi manje ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukuphi? UNkulunkulu usenhliziyweni yomuntu futhi useceleni nomuntu. Akekho emhlabeni womoya kuphela, futhi phezu kwakho konke, kodwa muningi kakhulu emhlabeni umuntu aphila kuwo. Ngakho ukufika kwezinsuku zokugcina kufike ezigabeni zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kwangena endaweni entsha. UNkulunkulu ungaphezu kwazo zonke izinto emhlabeni, futhi Nguye oyisisekelo somuntu enhliziyweni yakhe, futhi phezu kwalokho, ukhona phakathi komuntu. Yingale ndlela kuphela angaletha indlela yokuphila esintwini, futhi anike umuntu indlela yokuphila. UNkulunkulu uze emhlabeni, futhi uphila phakathi kwabantu, ukuze umuntu athole indlela yokuphila, futhi ukuze umuntu abe khona. Khona manjalo, uNkulunkulu ufuna ukulawula zonke izinto emhlabeni jikelele, ukuze zihambisane nokuphatha Kwakhe phakathi kwabantu. Ngakho, uma wazisa imfundiso yokuthi uNkulunkulu usezulwini nasenhliziyweni yomuntu, kube awulazisi iqiniso lobukhona bukaNkulunkulu phakathi komuntu, kusho ukuthi ngeke uphinde ukuthole ukuphila, futhi ngeke uphinde ulithole iqiniso.
UNkulunkulu Uqobo ungukuphila, neqiniso, futhi ukuphila Kwakhe neqiniso kuyahambisana. Labo abehluleka ukuthola iqiniso abasoze bakuthola ukuphila. Ngaphandle kokuqondiswa, ukusekelwa, kanye nokuhlinzeka ngeqiniso, uyothola amagama nje, nezimfundiso, kanti, ngaphezu kwakho konke, ukufa. Ukuphila kukaNkulunkulu kuhlala kukhona, futhi iqiniso Lakhe nokuphila kuyahambisana. Uma wehluleka ukuthola umthombo weqiniso, kusho ukuthi awusoze wathola ukudla kokuphila; uma wehluleka ukuthola isihlinzeko sempilo nakanjani awuzukuba neqiniso, futhi kuqhelelene kakhulu nemicabango nokuqonda, umzimba wakho uwonke awuzukuba yilutho ngaphandle kwenyama, inyama yakho enuka phu. Yazi ukuthi amagama asezincwadini awabalwa njengokuphila, izincwadi zomlando ngeke zithathwe ngokuthi ziyiqiniso, futhi izimfundiso zakudala zingesebenze njengamazwi akhulunywa uNkulunkulu namuhla. Ngokuvezwa uNkulunkulu kuphela uma eseza emhlabeni futhi ephila phakathi komuntu okuyiqiniso, ukuphila, intando kaNkulunkulu, kanye nendlela Yakhe yamanje yokusebenza. Uma ungasebenzisa amarekhodi amazwi akhulunywe uNkulunkulu ezikhathini ezedlule namuhla, kusho ukuthi uwusomlando ovundulula okucashile, futhi indlela ephuma phambili yokukuchaza ukuthi ungungoti wamagugu omlando. Lokho kudalwa ukuthi uhlala ukholelwa emlandweni womsebenzi kaNkulunkulu awenza ngezikhathi esezadlula, ukholelwa esithunzini uNkulunkulu asishiya ngenkathi esebenza kubantu ngaphambilini, futhi ukholelwa endleleni uNkulunkulu ayinika abalandeli Bakhe ngezikhathi zangaphambilini. Awukholelwa endleleni yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wanamuhla, awukholelwa kulokho okumangalisayo okwenziwa uNkulunkulu namuhla, futhi awukholelwa endleleni yeqiniso elivezwa uNkulunkulu namuhla. Ngakho uyaziphuphela nje futhi uqhelelene nokuqhubekayo okuyinto engephikiswe. Uma manje usabambelele emazwini angenike umuntu ukuphila, ungumuntu oqinelwa yikhanda,[a] ngoba uzigodlile, unenkani yeselesele, uqinelwa ikhanda kakhulu awufuni nokucabanga!
UNkulunkulu waba inyama eyabizwa ngokuthi uKristu, futhi okuwuKristu okwazi ukunika abantu iqiniso elibizwa ngokuthi uNkulunkulu. Akukho okukhulu ngalokhu, ngoba uqukethe isiqu sikaNkulunkulu, futhi uqukethe isimo sikaNkulunkulu, kanye nobuhlakani emsebenzini Wakhe, umuntu angekuthole. Labo abazibiza ngoKristu, kepha bengakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, bangabakhohlisi. UKristu akasikho nje ukubonakaliswa kukaNkulunkulu emhlabeni, kodwa futhi uyinyama embethwe uNkulunkulu njengoba ephethe futhi eqedela umsebenzi Wakhe kubantu. Le nyama akusiyo leyo endawo yayo ingathathwa yinoma imuphi umuntu, kodwa yileyo engathwala umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ngendlela egculisayo emhlabeni, futhi ibonakalisa isimo sikaNkulunkulu, futhi inika abantu ukuphila. Esikhathini esingatheni, labo abazenza uKristu bayowa, ngoba yize bethi banguKristu, akukho abanakho okuwumgogodla kaKristu. Ngakho ngithi ubuqiniso ngoKristu ngeke buchazwe umuntu, kodwa kuphendulwa futhi kunqunywe uNkulunkulu Uqobo. Ngale ndlela, uma ufuna ukuthola indlela yokuphila yangempela, kumele uqale ukwazise ngokuza emhlabeni futhi unika umuntu indlela yokuphila, futhi kumele uyazise ngezinsuku zokugcina ukuthi uza emhlabeni ukuzonika umuntu indlela yokuphila. Lokhu akusiyo into yakudala; yenzeka njengamanje.
UKristu wezinsuku zokugcina uletha ukuphila, futhi ukubekezela kanye nendlela yeqiniso engunaphakade. Leli qiniso liyindlela umuntu angathola ukuphila ngayo, futhi yiyo kuphela indlela umuntu ayokwazi uNkulunkulu ngayo futhi agunyazwe uNkulunkulu. Uma ungayifuni indlela yokuphila evela kuKristu wezinsuku zokugcina, kusho ukuthi awusoze wathola ukugunyazwa uJesu, futhi awusoze wafaneleka ukungena ngesango lombuso wezulu, ngoba ungunopopi kanye nesiboshwa somlando. Labo abalawulwa imithetho, ngamagama, futhi ababoshelwe umlando abasoze bathola ukuphila, futhi abasoze bakwazi ukuthola indlela yokuphila engunaphakade. Lokhu kwenziwa ukuthi konke abanakho kungamanzi ayizibhidi okulokhu kubanjelelwe kuwo izinkulungwane zeminyaka, esikhundleni samanzi ageleza esuka esihlalweni sobukhosi. Labo abangahlinzekwa ngamanzi okuphila bayohlala beyizidumbu ingunaphakade, beyizinto zokudlala uSathane, futhi bengamadodana asesihogweni. Pho-ke, bangakwazi ukubona uNkulunkulu? Uma uzama ukubambelela kokwakudala kuphela, uzama ukugcina izinto ngendlela eziyiyo ngokuma unganyakazi, futhi ungazami ukushintsha isimo, ulahle okwakudala, uma kunjalo awuyikuhlala ulwisana noNkulunkulu? Izigaba zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu zibanzi futhi zinkulu, njengamagagasi agelezayo kanye nokuduma kwezulu okugingqikayo—kepha uyahlala futhi ulinde ukubhujiswa ungenzi lutho, unamathele emikhubeni yakho futhi ungenzi lutho. Ngale ndlela, ungathathwa kanjani njengomuntu olandela ezinyathelweni zeWundlu? Ungakuveza kanjani ubulungiswa ngoNkulunkulu onaye owuNkulunkulu ohlala emusha futhi ongagugi? Futhi amazwi ezincwadi zakho eziqanda angakudlulisela kanjani esikhathini esisha? Angakuholela kanjani ukuthi ufune izinyathelo zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu? Futhi angakuyisa kanjani ezulwini? Okuphethe ezandleni amagama angakunika ukuthula kwesikhashana, hhayi amaqiniso angakunika ukuphila. Imibhalo oyifundayo iyilokho okungacebisa ulimi lwakho, ayiwona amazwi obuhlakani angakusiza ukuze wazi ngokuphila komuntu, ingasaphathwa eyezindlela ezingakuholela ekulungisisweni. Ingabe lokhu kushayisana akwenzi ubone isidingo sokuzihlolisisa? Ingabe akwenzi ukuthi uqonde izimfihlakalo eziqukethwe kukho? Ungakwazi yini ukuzisindisa ukuze ungene ezulwini uye kohlangana noNkulunkulu ngokwakho? Ngaphandle kokuza kukaNkulunkulu, ungaziyisa yini wena ezulwini ukuze uthokozele intokozo yomndeni noNkulunkulu? Ingabe usaphupha namanje? Ngiphakamisa ukuthi uyeke ukuphupha, ubheke ukuthi ubani osebenzayo manje, ukuthi ubani owenza umsebenzi wokusindisa abantu ngezikhathi zokugcina. Uma ungazi, ngeke uphinde ulithole iqiniso, futhi awusoze waba nokuphila.
Labo abafisa ukuthola ukuphila ngaphandle kokwethembela eqinisweni elikhulunywa uKristu bangabantu abangenangqondo kakhulu emhlabeni, futhi bayilabo abangayamukeli indlela yokuphila elethwe uKristu abalibele ukuphupha. Ngakho ngithi uma abantu bengamamukeli uKristu wezinsuku zokugcina bayohlala bezondwa uNkulunkulu unomphela. UKristu uyindlela yomuntu yokungena embusweni ngezikhathi zokugcina, abanye abangangakunaka. Akekho umuntu ongalungiswa uNkulunkulu ngaphandle kokudlula kuKristu. Uyakholwa nguNkulunkulu, futhi kumele wamukele amazwi Akhe futhi uhloniphe indlela Yakhe. Kumele ungacabangi nje ngokuthola izibusiso ngaphandle kokuthola iqiniso, noma ukwamukela okuhlinzeka ngokuphila. UKristu uza ngezinsuku zokugcina ukuze labo abakholelwa Kuye ngokweqiniso bakwazi ukuhlinzekwa ngokuphila. Umsebenzi Wakhe wenzelwa ukuqedela isikhathi esedlule futhi ungena kwesisha, futhi indlela okumele ithathwe yibo bonke abafuna ukungena esikhathini esisha. Uma wehluleka ukumazisa, futhi esikhundleni sokugxeka, ukuthuka, noma ukumkhaphela, kusho ukuthi nakanjani uyosha ingunaphakade, futhi awusoze wangena embusweni kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba uKristu ngokwakhe uyisibonakaliso soMoya oNgcwele, futhi ukubonakaliswa kukaNkulunkulu, loyo uNkulunkulu amethembe ukuthi uzokwenza umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni. Futhi ngithi uma wehluleka ukwamukela konke okwenziwa uKristu ngezinsuku zokugcina, wethuka uMoya oNgcwele. Isijeziso okumele sibhekane nalabo abathuka uMoya oNgcwele sicacele bonke abantu. Ngiyanitshela ukuthi uma niphikisa uKristu wezinsuku zokugcina, futhi Nimuphika, kusho ukuthi akekho umuntu ongakuthwalela umphumela walokho. Phezu kwalokho, kusukela ngalolu suku kuya phambili anizukuba nelinye ithuba lokuthola ukugunyazwa uNkulunkulu; noma ningazama ukuzikhulula, anisoze nabona ubuso bukaNkulunkulu. Ngoba aniphikisani nomuntu, aniphikisani nokuthile okudaliwe, kodwa uKristu. Ingabe uyawazi umphumela walokhu? Awenzanga iphutha elincane, kodwa wenze icala elesabekayo. Futhi ngeluleka bonke abantu abamelene neqiniso, noma abagxeka ngobudedengu, ngoba yiqiniso kuphela elingakunika ukuphila, futhi yiqiniso kuphela elingakwenza uzalwe kabusha futhi ubone ubuso bukaNkulunkulu.

*Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:
Ukufika kukaNkulunkulu osesimweni somuntu ezinsukwini zokugcina sekulethe isiphetho seNkathi Yomusa. Ufike ikakhulukazi ukuzokhuluma amazwi akhe, ukusebenzisa amazwi ukuphelelisa umuntu, ukukhanyisa nokukhanyisela umuntu, nokususa indawo kaNkulunkulu ongaqondakali enhliziyweni yomuntu.

Ngakho sizokwazi ukuthola ukuthi imiphi imicabango kanye nemibono kaNkulunkulu engaziwa muntu, kusukela lapho-ke sesingachaza uhlelo lwecebo likaNkulunkulu lokuphatha, futhi siqonde ngokuphelele isimo uNkulunkulu adalela kuso umsebenzi Wakhe wokuphatha, umsuka wawo kanye nendlela yokuwuthuthukisa, futhi siqonde ngokuphelele ukuthi imiphi imiphumela ayifunayo emsebenzi Wakhe wokuphatha—okusho, umnyombo kanye nenhloso yomsebenzi Wakhe wokuphatha. Ukuze siqonde lezi zinto kumele sibuyele emuva, esikhathini esikude futhi esithule lapho kwaku ngekho bantu…
Ngesikhathi uNkulunkulu evuka embhedeni Wakhe, umcabango aba nawo kuqala kwaku yilo: ukudala umuntu ophilayo, umuntu ophilayo wangempela—umuntu ozophila Naye futhi abe umhlobo Wakhe njalo. Lo muntu owayezokwazi Ukumlalela, futhi uNkulunkulu wayezokwazi ukukhipha isifuba Sakhe kuyena futhi Akhulume naye. Kwase kuthi, ngokokuqala ngqa, uNkulunkulu wathatha umhlabathi ogcwele isandla, futhi wawusebenzisa ukudala umuntu wokuqala ngqa ophilayo ayekade Emcabanga, wabe esenika lesisidalwa esiphilayo igama—Adamu. Lapho uNkulunkulu esezuze lo muntu ophilayo futhi ophefumulayo, ingabe Wazizwa kanjani? Ngokokuqala ngqa, Wazizwela injabulo yokuba nothandekayo, umhlobo. Ngokokuqala ngqa, Waphinde Wazizwela umthwalo wokuba ubaba, kanye nokukhathazeka okufika nakho. Lo muntu ophilayo futhi ophefumulayo walethela uNkulunkulu intokozo kanye nenjabulo; Wazizwela eduduzekile ngokokuqala ngqa. Lokhu kwakuyinto yokuqala uNkulunkulu Ayeyenzile Ayengayenzanga ngemicabango noma nangamazwi Akhe, kodwa kwenziwa ngezandla Zakhe zombili. Ngesikhathi lolu hlobo lwesidalwa—umuntu ophilayo futhi ophefumulayo—sima phambi kukaNkulunkulu, senziwe ngenyama negazi, sinomzimba futhi nesimo, futhi sikwazi ukukhuluma noNkulunkulu, Wazizwela uhlobo lwenjabulo ayengakaze aluzwe ngaphambili. Wazizwela ngempela umthwalo futhi lomphefumulo ophilayo akusikho nje ukuthi wawumenza azizwe enozwelo enhliziyweni Yakhe, kodwa konke ngisho nokuncinyane okwakukwenza nakho kwamthinta futhi kwafudumeza inhliziyo Yakhe. Ngakho ngesikhathi lomphefumulo ophilayo uma phambi kukaNkulunkulu, kwakungokokuqaka efikelwa umcabango wokuba nabantu abaningi abazofana nalo. Lokhu kwakuwuchungechunge lwezehlakalo ezaqala ngomcabango wokuqala uNkulunkulu abe nawo, zonke lezehlakalo zazenzeke ngokokuqala, kodwa ngalezehlakalo, nanoma ngabe yini lena Abe eyizwa ngaleso sikhathi—injabulo, umthwalo, ukukhathalela—kwakungekho muntu ayengakhuluma naye ngalokhu. Kusukela ngalowo mzuzu, uNkulunkulu waba nomzwangedwa ngempela kanye nosizi ayengakaze aluzwe ngaphambili. Yena wezwa ukuthi abantu babengakwazi ukwamukela noma ukuqonda uthando kanye nokukhathalela Kwakhe, noma izinjongo Zakhe ngesintu, ngalokho Yena waba nokudabuka kanye nobuhlungu enhliziyweni Yakhe. Noma ngabe umuntu wayemenzele le nto, umuntu wayengazi ngayo futhi engaqondi. Ngaphandle nje kwentokozo, ukujabula kanye nenduduzo eyalethwa umuntu Kuye, masinyane yaletha futhi imizwa Yakhe yokuqala yosizi kanye nomzwangedwa. Lena kwakuyimicabango kanye nemizwa kaNkulunkulu ngezikhathi zonke. Ngesikhathi uNkulunkulu ekwenza konke lokhu, enhliziyweni Yakhe wasuka enjabulweni waya osizini, waphinda wasuka osizini waya ezinhlungwini, konke kuxubene nokukhathazeka. Konke Ayefuna ukukwenza kwakungukushesha ukuba enze lomuntu, lolu hlanga lwesintu ukuba lwazi ukuthi kwakukhonani enhliziyweni Yakhe futhi luqonde izinjongo Zakhe ngokushesha. Ngalokho, babengakwazi ukuphenduka abalandeli Bakhe futhi babe nhliziyonye Naye.

Umsebenzi uJehova awenza kuma-Israyeli wamisa phakathi kwesintu indawo kaNkulunkulu yokudabuka emhlabeni, indawo Yakhe engcwele lapho Aye khona. Wawugcina umsebenzi wakhe kubantu bakwa-Israyeli. Ekuqaleni, Akazange asebenze ngaphandle kwakwa-Israyeli; kunalokho, Wakhetha abantu Abathola befanelekile ukuze anciphise ububanzi bomsebenzi Wakhe. Kwa-Israyeli indawo lapho uNkulunkulu adala u-Adamu no-Eva, futhi othulini lwaleyo ndawo, uJehova wenza umuntu; isizinda somsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni. Abakwa-Israyeli, ababeyinzalo kaNowa no-Adamu, babeyisisekelo somsebenzi kaJehova emhlabeni.
Ukubaluleka, inhloso, kanye nesinyathelo somsebenzi kaJehova kwa-Israyeli kwakungukuqala umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni wonke, bese kancane kancane awandise kwezinye izizwe kusukela esizindeni kwa-Israyeli. Lesi isimiso Asebenza ngaso emhlabeni wonke jikelele—ukwakha isibonelo bese eyandisa baze bonke abantu balemukele ivangeli Lakhe emhlabeni jikelele. Ama-Israyeli okuqala kwakuyiNzalo kaNowa. Labo bantu babenomoya kaJehova nje kuphela futhi babekwazi ukunakekela izidingo eziyisisekelo zempilo, kodwa babengamazi ukuthi uyinhloboni kaNkulunkulu uJehova, futhi bengazi intando yakhe ngomuntu, futhi babengazi ngisho nakancane ukuthi kufanele bayidumise kanjani iNkosi yendalo yonke. Inzalo ka-Adamu yayingazi ukuthi imiphi imigomo nemithetho ekufanele bayilalele, nokuthi imuphi umsebenzi isidalwa okufanele siwenzele Umdali. Konke ababekwazi nje ukuthi umyeni kufanele ajuluke futhi asebenze ukuhlinzekela umndeni wakhe, nokuthi inkosikazi kufanele ithobele umyeni wayo futhi yandise uhlanga lwabantu uJehova abadalile. Ngamanye amazwi, labantu babenomphefumulo kaJehova kanye nokuphila Kwakhe, kodwa babengakwazi ukulandela imithetho kaNkulunkulu noma ukwenelisa iNkosi yendalo yonke. Babenokuqonda okuncane kakhulu. Ngakho-ke nakuba kwakungekho lutho olugwegwile noma okuwubuqili ezinhliziyweni zabo, nakuba babengavamile ukuba nomona nokuxokozela, babengamazi uJehova noma bengamqondi uJehova, iNkosi yendalo yonke. Labo khokho bomuntu babazi nje ukuthi badle lokho uJehova akwenzile, bathokozele lokho uJehova akwenzile, kodwa babengakwazi ukudumisa uJehova; babengazi ukuthi kufanele bamdumise beguqe ngamadolo. Babengabizwa kanjani ukuthi izidalwa Zakhe? Ngakho lamagama athi, “uJehova uyiNkosi yendalo yonke” nathi “Wadala umuntu njengokuziveza Kwakhe, ukumdumisa nokummela Yena,” akhulunyelwa ize? Abantu abangamdumisi uJehova bangafakazela kanjani inkazimulo Yakhe? Bangaba kanjani ukuvezwa kwenkazimulo Yakhe? Ingabe lamazwi kaJehova athi “Ngadala umuntu ngomfanekiso Wami” aphenduka isikhali esandleni sikaSathane—lo omubi? Lamazwi awaphenduki yini abe uphawu lokululazeka ngenxa yokudala umuntu kukaJehova? Ukuze aqede leso sigaba somsebenzi, uJehova, emuva kokudala isintu, akazange abanikeze imiyalelo noma abaqondise ukusuka ku-Adamu kuya kuNowa. Kwaze kwathi emuva kukazamcolo, Waqala ukuhola abakwa-Israyeli ngokusemthethweni, ababeyinzalo ka-Adamu noNowa. Umsebenzi Wakhe namazwi Akhe kwa-Israyeli aqondisa izimpilo zabo bonke abantu ezweni lonke. Wabakhombisa ukuthi uJehova akakwazi nje kuphela ukuphefumulela umphefumulo kumuntu, ukuze abenempilo Yakhe, futhi wamvusa othulini wamenza isidalwa sikaNkulunkulu, kodwa nanokuthi wayengangqongqisa isintu ngamalangabi, asiqalekise isintu, esebenzisa uswazi Lwakhe ukuphatha isintu. Nabo-ke, babona ukuthi uJehova angayihola impilo yomuntu emhlabeni, futhi akhulume futhi esebenza phakathi kwabo imini nobusuku. Wawenza umsebenzi ukuze izidalwa Zakhe zazi ukuthi umuntu wavela othulini olwalucoshwe Nguye, ukuthi umuntu wenziwa Nguye. Ngaphezulu kwalokho, umsebenzi awuqala ku-Israyeli wenziwa ukuze abanye abantu nezizwe (ababengahlukene empeleni no-Israyeli, kodwa babexhantile basuka kubantu bakwa-Israyeli, kodwa beselokhu beyinzalo ka-Adamu no-Eva) bathole ivangeli likaJehova ku-Israyeli, ukuze zonke izidalwa ezweni lonkana zimdumise futhi zimphakamise Yena ngoba emkhulu. Uma uJehova wayengawuqalanga umsebenzi Wakhe ku-Israyeli, kodwa esikhundleni salokho athi esesidalile isintu, asiyekelele siphile izimpilo zokunganaki emhlabeni, ngenxa yemvelo yomzimba womuntu (imvelo ichaza ukuthi umuntu akasoze azi izinto angaziboni, okungukuthi, akazi ukuthi uJehova wadala isintu, kungasaphathwa okokuthi akazi ukuthi Yena wamdalelani), wayengasoze azi ukuthi uJehova wadala isintu nokuthi uyiNkosi yezinto zonke. Uma uJehova wayedale umuntu futhi wambeka emhlabeni ngesizathu sokuzithokozisa, wabese nje esula izandla Zakhe wamshiya kunokuthi ahole phakathi kwabantu isikhathi esithile, sonke isintu sasiyophetha ngokushabalala. Ngisho izulu nomhlaba nazo zonke izinto azidala, kuhlangene nesintu sonke, konke kwakuyophetha ngokushabalala kuxovwe ngezinyawo nguSathane. Ngakho isifiso sikaJehova sokuba, “Abe nendawo yokuma emhlabeni, indawo engcwele phakathi kwendalo Yakhe” sasiyodicileleka phansi. Ngakho-ke esikhundleni salokho, emuva kokudala isintu, uNkulunkulu wabaqondisa ezimpilweni zabo, futhi wakhuluma nabo, konke lokhu ukuze athole isifiso sakhe, aphumelele ohlelweni Lakhe. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kwa-Israyeli wawuqonde kuphela ukulifeza icebo, ayekade elihlelile ngaphambi kokudala Kwakhe zonke izinto. Ngakho-ke ukusebenza Kwakhe kuqala phakathi kwabaka-Israyeli nokudala Kwakhe zonke izinto kwakungaphikisani, kodwa kokubili kwenzelwa ngenxa yokuphatha Kwakhe, umsebenzi Wakhe, kanye nodumo Lwakhe, kwajulisa injongo yokudala Kwakhe isintu. Wayiqondisa impilo yesintu emhlabeni iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili emuva kukaNowa, kuleso sikhathi Wabafundisa ukuthi bamdumise kanjani uJehova, iNkosi yezinto zonke, wabafundisa ukuthi baziphathe kanjani futhi baphile izimpilo zabo, nakakhulu, ukuthi bamfakazele kanjani uJehova, bamlalele, baphinde bamphakamise, futhi bamdumise Yena ngomculo njengoDavide nabapristi bakhe.
Ngaphambili kwezinkulungwane ezimbili zeminyaka lapho uJehova enza khona umsebenzi Wakhe, umuntu wayengazi lutho, futhi cishe bonke baphupha bawela ebufebeni nenkohlakalo eyandulela uzamcolo; izinhliziyo zabo zazingenaye uJehova, ungasayiphathi, indlela Yakhe. Abazange neze baqonde umsebenzi uJehova ayezowenza; babengenawo umqondo wokucabanga, lungasaphathwa ulwazi, benjengemishini ephilayo ephefumulayo bengenalwazi ngomuntu, ngoNkulunkulu, ngomhlaba, kanye nempilo ngokufana. Emhlabeni bangena ekwenzeni ukuyenga nobuhumusha, njengenyoka, futhi bakhuluma izinto eziningi azazimcasula uJehova, kodwa ngoba babengenalwazi uJehova akazange abajezise noma abayale. Emuva kukazamcolo, lapho uNowa wayeneminyaka engama-601, uJehova wazibonakalisa ngokomthetho kuNowa wabe esemqondisa yena nomndeni wakhe, emhola yena, nezinyoni, nezilwane ezasinda kuzamcolo, kanye nozalo lwakhe kwaze kwabasekupheleni kweNkathi yoMthetho, iminyaka eyizi-2,500 seyiphelele. Wayesebenza ngokomthetho ku-Israyeli iminyaka eyizi-2,000, kanti isikhathi lapho ayesebenza kwa-Israyeli nangaphandle kwakhona, sasiyiminyaka engama-500, okwenza iminyaka eyizi-2,500 uma uhlanganisa. Ngale nkathi watshela abakwa-Israyeli ukuthi ukukhonza uJehova, kufanele bakhe ithempeli, baphinde bagqoke izingubo zabapristi, futhi bahambe bengafake zicathulo ukungena ethempelini entathakusa, zingaze izicathulo zabo zingcolise ithempeli bese kwehla umlilo phezulu ethempelini ubashise bangqongqe. Bayenza imisebenzi yabo futhi bathobela izinhlelo zikaJehova. Bakhuleka kuJehova ethempelini, kwathi emuva kokuba sebegqugquzelwe nguJehova, okungukuthi, emuva kokuthi uJehova esekhulumile, bahola abantu futhi babafundisa ukuthi bamhloniphe kakhulu uJehova—uNkulunkulu wabo. Futhi uJehova wabatshela ukuthi kufanele bakhe ithempeli ne-altare, kanti ngesikhathi esibekwe uJehova, okungukuthi, ngePhasika, kufanele balungise ethempelini amathole namawundlu asanda kuzalwa njengemihlatshelo yokukhonza uJehova, ukubanqanda futhi nokufaka inhlonipho enkulu kaJehova ezinhliziyweni zabo. Noma bayawulalela lomthetho, kwakuzoba isilinganiso sokuthembeka kwabo kuJehova. UJehova wabeka nosuku lweSabatha kubo, usuku lwesikhombisa lokudala Kwakhe. Usuku emuva kwalokho Yena wenza usuku lokuqala, usuku lwabo lokuba bakhonze uJehova, balethe imihlatshelo, futhi benze umculo Kuye. Ngalolu suku, uJehova wabiza ndawonye bonke abapristi futhi wabelana ngemihlatshelo ethempelini ukuze abantu badle, ukuze bathokozele imihlatshelo elethwe kuJehova. Futhi uJehova wathi babusisiwe kanti banengxenye naye, nokuthi bangabantu Bakhe abakhethiweyo (okwabe kuyisivumelwano sikaJehova nabakwa-Israyeli). Yingakho, kuze kube inamuhla, abantu bakwa-Israyeli basathi uJehova nguNkulunkulu wabo bodwa, hhayi ukuNkulunkulu wezinye izizwe.
NgeNkathi yoMthetho, uJehova wabeka imiyalelo eminingi uMose okwakufanele ayidlulisele kwabaka-Israyeli, abamlandela ukuphuma eGibhithe. UJehova wayinika lemiyalelo abakwa-Israyeli, ababengahlobene nabaseGibhithe, kanti yayenzelwe ukungqanda abakwa-Israyeli, futhi iyizimiso Zakhe kubo. Noma umuntu wayegcina iSabatha, noma ehlonipha abazali bakhe, noma ekhonza izithixo, nokunye nokunye, lezi izimiso umuntu ayehlulelwa ngazo ukuthi unesono noma ulungile. Noma umuntu wayeshaywa ngumlilo kaJehova, noma akhandwe ngamatshe, noma athole isibusio kuJehova, kwakuncike ekutheni umuntu uyayilalela yini imiyalelo. Labo ababengaligcini iSabatha babekhandwa ngamatshe. Labo bapristi ababengaligcini iSabatha babeshaywa umlilo kaJehova. Labo ababengabalaleli abazali babo nabo babekhandwa ngamatshe. Konke lokhu kwakuvunywe nguJehova. UJehova wamisa imiyalelo Yakhe kanye nemithetho Yakhe ukuze kuthi lapho ehola izimpilo zabo, abantu balizwe futhi balilalele izwi Lakhe futhi bangahlubuki. Wasebenzisa lemithetho ukulawula uhlanga lwesintu olwalusanda kuzalwa, ukwakha isisekelo somsebenzi Wakhe owawuseza. Ngakho-ke, ngenxa yomsebenzi owenziwa uJehova, inkathi yokuqala yabizwa ngokuthi iNkathi yoMthetho. Nakuba uJehova wakhuluma kakhulu futhi wenza umsebenzi omningi, Wabahola ngendlela eyakhayo, efundisa laba bantu abengenalwazi ukuba babekanjani ngabantu, baphile kanjani, baqonde kanjani indlela kaJehova. Ikakhulukazi, umsebenzi Yena awenza, wawuhlose ukuvumela abantu ukubuka bazi indlela Yakhe futhi balandele umthetho Wakhe. Umsebenzi wenziwa kubantu ababengajulile ngokukhohlakala; wawungakhathalele ukuguqulwa kwesimo noma ukukhula empilweni. Wayekhathalele kuphela ukusebenzisa imithetho ukunqanda nokulawula abantu. Kuma-Israyeli ngaleso sikhathi, uJehova wayemane enguNkulunkulu ethempelini, uNkulunkulu emazulwini. Wayeyinsika yefu, eyinsika yomlilo. Konke uNkulunkulu ayekufuna kubona kwakuwukuthi balalele lokhu abantu banamhlanje abakwazi njengemithetho Yakhe nemiyalelo umuntu— angaze athi nje imigomo—ngoba umsebenzi kaJehova wawungahlosile ukubashintsha kodwa ukubanika ezinye izinto umuntu ekufanele abenazo, ukubatshela ngomlomo wakhe uqobo, ngoba emuva kokuthi umuntu esedaliwe, umuntu wayengazi lutho ngokuthi kufanele abe nani. Ngakho-ke uJehova wabanika izinto ekufanele babenazo ezimpilweni zabo emhlabeni, wenza labantu abaholayo ukuthi babedlule okhokho babo, u-Adamu no-Eva, ngoba lokho uJehova abanika kona kwakudlula lokho ayekade Yena ekunike u-Adamu no-Eva ekuqaleni. Nakuba kunjalo, umsebenzi uJehova awenza kwa-Israyeli kwakungowokuqondisa isintu kuphela nokwenza isintu simazise uMdali waso. Akazange abanqobe noma abashintshe, wamane wabaqondisa. Lokhu indaba isiphelele yomsebenzi kaJehova ngeNkathi yoMthetho. Yisendlalelo, indaba eyiqiniso, umnyombo womsebenzi Wakhe ezweni lonke lakwa-Israyeli nesiqalo somsebenzi Wakhe weminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha—ukulawula isintu ngesandla sikaJehova. Kulokhu kwaphuma umsebenzi omningi ohlelweni Lwakhe lokuphatha olweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha.
kwesithi “Umsebenzi Ngenkathi Yomthetho” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni
Ekuqaleni, ukuqondisa umuntu ngeNkathi Yomthetho yeTestamente elidala kwakufana nokuqondisa ingane. Isintu sokuqala sasingabantwana abazelwe bakaJehova; sasingama-Israyeli. Sasingenakho ukuqonda ngendlela yokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu noma indlela yokuphila emhlabeni. Okusho ukuthi, uJehova wadala isintu, okungukuthi, wadala u-Adamu no-Eva, kodwa akazange abanike imiqondo yokuqonda ukuthi bamhloniphe kanjani uNkulunkulu noma ukulandela imithetho kaJehova emhlabeni. Ngaphandle kokuqondisa mathupha kukaJehova, akekho ongakwazi ngokuqondile lokhu, ngoba ekuqaleni umuntu akazange abe nawo lo mqondo. Umuntu wazi kuphela ukuthi uJehova wayenguNkulunkulu, kodwa okokuthi ahlonishwe kanjani, iyiphi inhlobo yokuziphatha okwakubizwa ngokumhlonipha, umuntu wayengamhlonipha ngaluphi uhlobo lomqondo, noma, yikuphi okwakufanele akunikele ekumhlonipheni: umuntu wayengenamqondo nhlobo. Umuntu wayazi kuphela ukuthi akuthokozele kanjani lokho okwakungathokozelwa phakathi kwazo zonke izinto ezadalwa nguJehova, kodwa mayelana nokuthi iluphi uhlobo lokuphila emhlabeni olwalufanele isidalwa sikaNkulunkulu, wayengenalwazi nhlobo. Ngaphandle komuntu wokusiyalela, ngaphandle komuntu wokusiqondisa mathupha, lesi sintu sasingeke siphile impilo efanele isintu ngokwempela, kodwa sasiyothunjwa kuphela nguSathane ngesinyelela. UJehova wadala isintu, okusho ukuthi, wadala okhokho besintu, u-Eva no-Adamu, kodwa akabanikanga enye ingqondo noma ukuhlakanipha. Nakuba base bevele bephila emhlabeni, babecishe bangaqondi lutho. Ngakho, umsebenzi kaJehova ekudaleni isintu wawungakapheleli, futhi wawusekude nokuqedwa. Wayesakhe kuphela umfuziselo womuntu ngebumba wase ewunika umphefumulo Wakhe, kodwa ngaphandle kokunika umuntu ukuzimisela ukumhlonipha okwenele. Ekuqaleni, umuntu wayengenawo umqondo wokumhlonipha, noma ukumesaba. Umuntu wayazi kuphela ukulalela amazwi Akhe kodwa wayengazi lutho ngolwazi lokuphila emhlabeni kanye nolwemithetho efanele yokuphila komuntu. Ngakho futhi, nakuba uJehova wadala owesilisa nowesifazane wayeseqeda umsebenzi wezinsuku eziyisikhombisa, akazange neze aqede ukudala umuntu, ngoba umuntu wayeyigobongo nje, engenayo ingqikithi yokuba ngumuntu. Umuntu wayazi kuphela ukuthi nguJehova owayedale umuntu, kodwa wayengenalwazi noluncane lokuthi alandele kanjani amazwi noma imithetho kaJehova. Ngakho futhi, emva kokuba khona kwesintu, umsebenzi kaJehova wawusekude ukuphela. Kwakusafanele aqondise isintu ngokugcwele ukuba size phambi Kwakhe, ukuze sikwazi ukuphila ndawonye emhlabeni futhi simhloniphe, nokuthi sikwazi, ngokuqondiswa nguye, ukungena emzileni ofanele wempilo yomuntu emhlabeni. Kulapho kuphela umsebenzi owawenziwe kakhulu ngaphansi kwegama likaJehova owaqedwa khona ngokugcwele; okungukuthi, waphethwa lapho kuphela umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokudala umhlaba. Ngakho futhi, esedale isintu, kwafuneka ukuthi aqondise ukuphila kwesintu emhlabeni iminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha, ukuze isintu sikwazi ukuphila ngezinqumo nemithetho, kanye nokubamba iqhaza kukho konke ukwenza kwempilo ejwayelekile emhlabeni. Kulapho kuphela okwaphetheka khona ngokugcwele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Wenza lo msebenzi emva kokudala isintu wase eqhubeka nawo kwaze kwaba yinkathi kaJakobe, okuyisikhathi enza ngaso amadodana ayishumi nambili kaJakobe aba yizizwe eziyishumi nambili zakwa-Israyeli. Kusuka kuleso sikhathi kuqhubeka, bonke abantu bakwa-Israyeli baba wuhlanga lwabantu olwaluholwa ngokusemthethweni Nguye emhlabeni, futhi u-Israyeli waba yindawo ekhethekile emhlabeni lapho enza khona umsebenzi Wakhe. UJehova wenza laba bantu baba yiqembu lokuqala labantu enza kubo ngokusemthethweni umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni, futhi wenza lonke izwe lakwa-Israyeli indawo yokuqala komsebenzi Wakhe, ebasebenzisa njengesiqalo somsebenzi omkhulu ngokuthe xaxa, ukuze bonke abantu abazalwe Kuye emhlabeni bazi ukuthi bamhloniphe kanjani nokuthi baphile kanjani emhlabeni. Ngakho futhi, izenzo zama-Israyeli zaba yisibonelo sokulandelwa ngabantu beZizwe, nokuthi lokho okwashiwo phakathi kwabantu bakwa-Israyeli kwaba amazwi okwakufanele alalelwe ngabantu beZizwe. Ngoba baba ngabokuqala ukwemukela imithetho nemiyalelo kaJehova, futhi baba ngabokuqala ukwazi ukuthi zihlonishwa kanjani izindlela zikaJehova, kanye nokuba ngabameli bohlanga lwabantu abakhethwe nguJehova.
kwesithi “Umbono Womsebenzi KaNkulunkulu (3)” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni
Ngakho seniyifundile le mithetho yeNkathi Yomthetho, akunjalo? Ingabe imithetho inomqondo osabalele? Okokuqala, ihlanganisa iMiyalelo Eyishumi, ilandelwe imiyalelo yokwakhiwa kwama-altare, njalo njalo. Ilandelwe imithetho yokugcina iSabatha nemikhosi emithathu, bese ilandelwa yimiyalo yeminikelo. Ingabe ubonile ukuthi zingaki izinhlobo zeminikelo ezikhona? Kuneminikelo yokushiswa, iminikelo yokuthula, iminikelo yesono, njalo njalo, elandelwa yimithetho yeminikelo yabapristi, ehlanganisa iminikelo yokushiswa neminikelo yenyama yabapristi, nezinye izinhlobo zeminikelo. Imiyalelo eyi-8 eyezabelo zeminikelo zabapristi, bese kuba nemithetho yalokho abantu okufanele bakugcine. Kunemibono ngezici eziningi zokuphila kwabantu, njengemithetho yalokho okufanele nokungafanele bakudle, yokuhlanjululwa kwababelethayo, neyalabo abelashwe ochokweni. Kule mithetho, uNkulunkulu uze akhulume nangezifo, futhi kunemithetho yokuhlatshwa kwezimvu nezinkomo, njalo njalo. Izimvu nezinkomo kwadalwa uNkulunkulu, futhi kufanele nikuhlabe nganoma iyiphi indlela eyalwa uNkulunkulu; ngokungangabazeki kunesizathu ezwini likaNkulunkulu, nakanjani kulungile ukuyalwa uNkulunkulu, futhi kuyabazuzisa abantu! Kwakuphinde kube namadili nemithetho okufanele kugcinwe, njengosuku lweSabatha, iPhasika, kanye nokuningi—uNkulunkulu wakhuluma ngakho konke lokhu. Ake sibheke okokugcina: eminye imithetho—ukukhanyiswa kwezibani, uNyaka WeJubili, ukuhlengwa kwezwe, ukwenza izifungo, okweshumi, njalo njalo. Ingabe lokhu kunomqondo obanzi? Into yokuqala okufanele kukhulunywe ngayo iminikelo yabantu, bese kuba nemiyalo emayelana nokweba nesinxephezelo, nokugcinwa kosuku lweSabatha…; okubandakanya nemininingwane yokuphila kwawo wonke umuntu. Okusho ukuthi, lapho uNkulunkulu enza umsebenzi osemthethweni wecebo Lakhe lokuqondisa, wabeka imithetho eminingi eyayilandelwa umuntu. Le mithetho yayenzelwa ukuthi umuntu aphile ngendlela ejwayelekile emhlabeni, ukuphila komuntu okungenakuhlukaniswa noNkulunkulu kanye nesiqondiso Sakhe. UNkulunkulu waqale watshela umuntu indlela yokwakha ama-altare, nokuwamisa. Ngemva kwalokho, watshela umuntu ngendlela yokunikela, washo indlela okwakufanele umuntu aphile ngayo—nokwakufanele akunake ekuphileni, okwakufanele anamathele kukho, okwakufanele nokwakungafanele agxile kukho. Konke uNkulunkulu akuhlelela umuntu kwakumangalisa, futhi ngala masiko, imithetho amisa ngayo izinga lokuziphatha kwabantu, waqonda ukuphila nezisusa zabo emithethweni kaNkulunkulu, wabaqondisa ukuthi beze phambi kwe-altare likaNkulunkulu, nokuthi baphile phakathi kwazo zonke izinto zikaNkulunkulu ayezidalele umuntu ngokuhleleka, ukuvama, nangokusesilinganisweni. UNkulunkulu waqala ukusebenzisa le miyalo elula ukuze abekele umuntu imingcele, ukuze umuntu emhlabeni abe nokuphila okujwayelekile akhonze uNkulunkulu, abe nokuphila okujwayelekile komuntu; leyo indlela ekhethekile yesiqalo seminyaka Yakhe eziyi-6 000 yecebo lokuqondisa. Imiyalo nemithetho kunencazelo ebanzi, iyiziqondiso eziqondile zikaNkulunkulu esintwini phakathi neNkathi Yomthetho, kufanele yamukelwe futhi ihlonishwe abantu abangaphambi kweNkathi Yomthetho, iyirikhodi lomsebenzi owenziwa uNkulunkulu phakathi neNkathi Yomthetho, futhi iwubufakazi obuqand’ ikhanda bobuholi nesiqondiso sikaNkulunkulu ngaso sonke isintu.

Abantu basendulo babengazi lutho, ngakho kwadingeka ukuthi uNkulunkulu aqale ngokubafundisa izinto eziyisisekelo ukuze baphile, nemithetho eyisidingo ukuze umuntu aphile, wagcwala lezi zinto enhliziyweni kancane kancane, futhi wanika umuntu ukuqonda ngoNkulunkulu kancane kancane nokwazisa kanye nokuqonda ubuholi bukaNkulunkulu, futhi umbono oyisisekelo wobudlelwane obuphakathi komuntu noNkulunkulu, kule miyalelo, nakule mithetho, kwakungamazwi. Ngemva kokufinyelela lokhu, uNkulunkulu wakwazi ukwenza umsebenzi ayezowenza kamuva, ngakho le mithetho nomsebenzi eyenziwa uNkulunkulu phakathi neNkathi Yomthetho kuyidwala lomsebenzi wokusindisa umuntu, kuyisigaba sokuqala secebo likaNkulunkulu lokuqondisa.
kwesithi “Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, Isimo SikaNkulunkulu, NoNkulunkulu Uqobo Lwakhe II” kwethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni
Umsebenzi kaJehova kwakuwukuhola nokwelusa umuntu ngokuqondile ngokubeka imithetho ukuze umuntu akwazi ukuphila impilo ejwayelekile nokudumisa uJehova ngendlela ejwayelekile emhlabeni. UNkulunkulu eNkathini Yomthetho wayengabonwa futhi angathintwa muntu. Wayehola umuntu owayekhohlakaliswe uSathane nje, futhi wayekhona ukuze ayalele futhi eluse laba bantu, ukuze amazwi awakhuluma ayengawomthetho, nemiyalelo kanye nolwazi olujwayelekile ngokuphila impilo njengomuntu kuphela, kwakungasiwo wonke amaqiniso anika umuntu ukuphila. Ama-Israyeli ngaphansi kobuholi Bakhe ayengewona lawo akhohlakaliswe ngokujulile uSathane. Umsebenzi Wakhe womthetho wawusesigabeni sokuqala ngqa somsebenzi wensindiso, ukuqala komsebenzi wensindiso, futhi kwakungahlangene nhlobo nokushintsha isimo sempilo yomuntu.
kwesithi “Umehluko Phakathi Kwenkonzo KaNkulunkulu Onesimo Somuntu kanye Nomsebenzi Womuntu” encwadini ethi Izwi Livela Lisenyameni
NgeNkathi Yomthetho, umsebenzi wokuqondisa isintu wawenziwa ngaphansi kwegama likaJehova futhi isigaba sokuqala somsebenzi saqalwa emhlabeni. Kulesi sigaba umsebenzi wawuqukethe ukwakha ithempeli ne-altare, kanye nokusebenzisa umthetho ukuqondisa isizwe sakwa-Israyeli nokusebenza phakathi kwaso. Ngokuqondisa isizwe sakwa-Israyeli, UNkulunkulu wasungula indawo yomsebenzi Wakhe lapha emhlabeni. Kusuka kule ndawo, wasabalalisa umsebenzi Wakhe, wawuyisa ngaphandle ngaleya kwakwa-Israyeli, okusho ukuthi, ukusuka kwa-Israyeli, wawandisela ngaphandle, ukuze izizukulwane zakamuva ziye ngokuya zazi ukuthi uJehova wayenguNkulunkulu, nokuthi nguJehova owadala amazulu nomhlaba nazo zonke izinto, nokuthi nguJehova owenza zonke izidalwa. Wasabalalisa umsebenzi Wakhe ngabantu bakwa-Israyeli wawusabalalisela kude nabo. Izwe lakwa-Israyeli laliyindawo engcwele yokuqala yomsebenzi kaJehova emhlabeni, futhi kwakusezweni lakwa-Israyeli lapho uNkulunkulu aqala khona ukusebenza emhlabeni.

(2) Injongo nokubaluleka komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu Enkathini Yomusa
Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:
UJesu umele wonke umsebenzi weNkathi yoMusa; waba senyameni wabethelwa esiphambanweni, waphinda wangenisa iNkathi yoMusa. Wabethelwa ukuze agcwalise umsebenzi wokuhlenga, ukuqeda iNkathi yoMthetho nokuqala iNkathi yoMusa, ngakho-ke wabe esebizwa “ngeNkosi Ephakeme,” “uMnikelo wesono,” “uMhlengi.” Ngakho umsebenzi kaJesu wehluka ngokuqukethweyo emsebenzini kaJehova, yize ngokwesimiso babefana. UJehova waqala iNkathi yoMthetho, wasungula isizinda sekhaya, okungukuthi, umsuka, womsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni, wabe esekhipha nemithetho; lokhu ngokubili kulokho akwenza ngempumelelo, okumele iNkathi yoMthetho. Umsebenzi uJesu awenza eNkathini yoMusa kwakungekhona ukukhipha imithetho, kodwa ukugcwalisa imithetho, ngalokho engenisa iNkathi yoMusa futhi eqeda iNkathi yoMthetho eyayisihlale iminyaka eyizinkulungwane ezimbili. Waba ngumqambi, owezela ukuqala iNkathi yoMusa, kodwa umongo womsebenzi Wakhe wawusekuhlengeni. Ngalokho-ke izinto azifeza zazikabili: ukuvula inkathi entsha, nokuqedela umsebenzi wokuhlenga ngokubethelwa Kwakhe. Wase ehamba. Kuleli qophelo, iNkathi yoMthetho yafika ekugcineni abantu base bengena eNkathini yoMusa.
Umsebenzi owenziwa nguJesu wawuhambisana nezidingo zomuntu ngaleso sikhathi. Umsebenzi Wakhe kwakuwukuhlenga abantu, ukubaxolela izono zabo, ngakho-ke sonke isimo Sakhe kwakungesokuthobeka, ukubekezela, uthando, ubumnene, ukuqinisela, umusa, kanye nomusa wothando. Wabusisa abantu kakhulu wabalethela umusa omningi, nazo zonke izinto ababengase bazithokozele, wabanika ukuze bazithokozele: ukuthula nenjabulo, ukubekezela nothando, umusa Wakhe kanye nomusa wothando. Kulezo zinsuku, konke lokhu umuntu ayehlangabezana nakho kwakuyinala yezinto okumele azithokozele: Izinhliziyo zabo zazinoxolo futhi ziqinisekile, umoya wabo wawududuzekile, futhi babeqiniswe uMsindisi uJesu. Ukuthi babengazuza lezi zinto kwakungumphumela wenkathi ababephila kuyo. ENkathini yoMusa abantu base bonakaliswe uSathane, ngakho-ke umsebenzi wokuhlenga bonke abantu wawudinga inala yomusa, ukuqinisela okungapheli nokubekezela, phezu kwalokho, umnikelo owanele wokuhlawula izono zabantu, ukuze kufike emphumeleni wawo. Lokhu okwabonwa abantu eNkathini yoMusa kwakungumnikelo Wami nje wokuhlawulela isono sabantu, okungukuthi, uJesu. Konke ababekwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayengaba nomusa nokuqinisela, futhi konke abakubona kwaba umusa kaJesu kuphela kanye nomusa wothando. Lokhu kwakungenxa yokuthi babephila eNkathini yoMusa. Ngakho-ke ngaphambi kokuthi bahlengwe, kwakumele bathokozele izinhlobo eziningi zomusa omkhulu uJesu abanika wona; yilokhu kuphela okwakuyinzuzo kubo. Ngale ndlela, babezoxolelwa izono zabo ngokuthokozela kwabo umusa, futhi bebezothola ithuba lokuhlengwa ngokuthokozela ukuqinisela nokubekezela kukaJesu. Ukuqinisela nokubekezela kukaJesu kuphela okwenza ukuthi bakwazi ukuthola intethelelo nokuthokozela inala yomusa ebekwe phezu kwabo nguJesu – njengoba uJesu athi, “Angizanga ukuzohlenga abalungile kodwa izoni, ukuze izono zabo zixolelwe”. Ukuba uJesu waba senyameni ngesimo sokwahlulela, sesiqalekiso, nokungabekezeleli amacala abantu, abantu bebengeke balithole ithuba lokuhlengwa, futhi bebezohlala bona njalo nje. Ukuba kwakunjalo, uhlelo lokuphatha lweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha lwaluyoma eNkathini yoMthetho, futhi iNkathi yoMthetho ngabe yaba iminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha. Izono zabantu ngabe zakhula zaba nkulu zaba zimbi kakhulu, nokudalwa kwabantu kwakuzoba yize. Abantu bebezokwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ngaphansi komthetho kuphela, kodwa izono zabo ngabe zingaphezulu kwalezo zabantu abadalwa kuqala. Ngokuthanda kukaJesu abantu, ebaxolela izono zabo ebanika umusa owanele nomusa nothando, abantu bakwazi ukusindiswa, babizwa ngezimvu ezazilahlekile ezabuyiswa uJesu ngenani eliphakeme. USathane wayengekwazi ukugxambukela kulo msebenzi, ngoba uJesu waphatha abalandeli Bakhe njengomama onothando ephethe usana ezingalweni zakhe. Akazange abathukuthelele noma abenyanye, kodwa wayegcwele induduzo; akazange athukuthele phakathi kwabo, kodwa wabayeka nezono zabo wabushaya indiva ubulima nokungazi kwabo, waze wathi, “Xolela izikhathi ezingamashumi ayisikhombisa aphindwe kasikhombisa.” Ngakho-ke inhliziyo Yakhe yaguqula izinhliziyo zabanye. Kwaba ngale ndlela lapho abantu bathola khona intethelelo yezono ngokubekezela Kwakhe.

Yize uJesu, ekubeni senyameni kwakhe wayengenawo nhlobo umzwelo, wayehlala eduduza abafundi Bakhe, ebahlinzeka, ebasiza futhi ebaqinisa. Noma ngabe wenza umsebenzi ongakanani noma wahlupheka kangakanani, akazange afune okwedlulele kubantu, kodwa wayehlale ebekezela futhi eqiniselele izono zabo, kangangokuthi eNkathini yoMusa wayebizwa ngokuthandwa ngokuthi “uJesu onguMsindisi othandekayo.” Kubantu bangaleso sikhathi – kubo bonke abantu – lokhu uJesu ayenakho nayeyikho, kwakungumusa nothando. Akazange akhumbule ukona kwabantu, nokubaphatha Kwakhe kwakungasukeli ekoneni kwabo. Ngenxa yokuthi leyo kwakuyinkathi eyehlukile, wayevamise ukunika abantu ukudla nokokuphuza okwanele ukuze badle basuthe. Wayephatha bonke abalandeli Bakhe ngomusa, elapha abagulayo, ekhipha amadimoni, evusa abafile. Ukuze abantu bakholwe Kuye babone nokuthi konke lokhu ayekwenza wayekwenza ngeqiniso nangobuqotho, waze wavusa isidumbu esase sibola, ebakhombisa ukuthi ezandleni Zakhe ngisho nabafile bangabuye baphile. Ngale ndlela wabekezela buthule phakathi kwabo wenza umsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga. Ngisho ngaphambi kokuthi abethelwe esiphambanweni, uJesu wayesevele ethwele izono zesintu waba umhlatshelo wezono zesintu. Nangaphambi kokubethelwa, wayesevele eseyivulile indlela eya esiphambanweni ukuze ahlenge abantu. Ekugcineni wabethelwa esiphambanweni, wazidela ngenxa yesiphambano, wabeka bonke ububele Bakhe, nomusa wothando, nobungcwele phezu kwesintu. Esintwini wayelokhu enokubekezela, engafuni ukuziphindiselela, kodwa wasixolela izono zaso, wasincenga ukuthi siphenduke, wasifundisa ukubekezela, ukuqinisela, nothando, ukuthi silandele ezinyathelweni Zakhe futhi sizidele ngenxa yesiphambano. Uthando Lwakhe lwabazalwane lwedlula uthando Lwakhe ngoMariya. Umsebenzi awenza wathatha njengomgomo Wakhe ukuphilisa abantu nokukhipha amadimoni, konke ngenxa yokuhlenga Kwakhe. Noma ngabe wayeya kuphi, bonke ababemlandela wayebaphatha ngomusa. Wenza abampofu baba yizicebi, wahambisa izishosha, izimpumputhe zabona, izithulu zezwa; waze wamema nabaphansi abahlwempu, izoni, ukuthi zizodla Naye, engabaxwayi kodwa ebekezele, aze athi, “Uma umelusi elahlekelwa yimvu eyodwa kweziyikhulu, uzozishiya ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye ayofuna eyodwa elahlekile, uma eyithola uyothokoza kakhulu.” Abalandeli Bakhe wayebathanda njengemvu ithanda amazinyane ayo. Yize bebeyizilima bengenalwazi, futhi beyizoni emehlweni Akhe, phezu kwalokho bengamalunga omphakathi aphansi kakhulu, wazibona lezi zoni—abantu ababenyanywa ngabanye—njengezithelo ezithandwa yiso Lakhe. Njengoba wayezithanda, wanikela ngempilo Yakhe ngenxa yazo, njengewundlu linikelwa elathini. Wahamba phakathi kwabo njengesisebenzi sabo, wabadedela bamsebenzisa bamhlaba, wabathobela ngaphandle kwemibandela. Kubalandeli Bakhe wayenguMsindisi uJesu othandekayo, kodwa kubaFarisi ababefundisa abantu ezindaweni eziphakeme akazange abonise umusa nothando lomusa, kodwa inzondo nokubenyanya. Akazange enze umsebenzi omkhulu kubaFarisi, wayebafundisa nje ngezinye izikhathi ebakhuza; akazange ahambe phakathi kwabo enza umsebenzi wokuhlenga, noma enze izibonakaliso nezimangaliso. Wethula wonke umusa nothando lwakhe kubalandeli Bakhe, ebekezela ngenxa yalezi zoni kwaze kwaba sekugcineni lapho ebethelwa esiphambanweni, ezwa konke ukwehliswa waze wasihlenga sonke isintu. Lokhu kwakuyisamba somsebenzi Wakhe.
Ngaphandle kokuhlenga kukaJesu, abantu babengaphila esonweni phakade, babe ngabantwana besono, isizukulwane samadimoni. Uma lokhu kuqhubeka, wonke umhlaba wawuyoba yindawo yokuhlala kaSathane, indawo yakhe yokwakha. Kodwa umsebenzi wokuhlenga wawudinga umusa nothando esintwini; yile ndlela kuphela abantu ebabethola ngayo intethelelo bese bethola ilungelo lokwenziwa baphelele futhi bazuzwe ngokuphelele. Ngaphandle kwalesi sigaba somsebenzi, uhlelo lokuphatha lweminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha ngabe aluzange luqhubeke. Ukube uJesu akazange abethelwe, ukuba welapha abantu nje kuphela wakhipha namadimoni, ngabe abantu abazange bathethelelwe izono zabo ngokuphelele. Kule minyaka emithathu nesigamu uJesu enza ngayo umsebenzi Wakhe emhlabeni, waqeda ingxenye kuphela yomsebenzi Wakhe wokuhlenga; kwase kuthi ngokubethelwa esiphambanweni nokuba umfanekiso wenyama enesono, ngokunikelwa esandleni somubi, wawufeza umsebenzi wokubethelwa waphumelelisa isiphetho sesintu. Abantu bahlengwa kuphela emva kokuthi esenikelwe ezandleni zikaSathane. Iminyaka engamashumi amathathu nesigamu wahlushwa emhlabeni, wenziwa inhlekisa, wathukwa, walahlwa, kwaze kwaseqophelweni lapho engasenandawo yokufihla ikhanda, engenandawo yokuphumula; wabe esebethelwa, ubuyena bonke—umzimba ongenasono nomsulwa—wabethelwa esiphambanweni, wezwa lonke uhlobo lokukuhlushwa. Labo ababesemandleni babembhinqa bemshaya, namasosha aze amkhafulela ebusweni; kodwa wathula wabekezela kwaze kwaba sekugcineni, ethoba ngokungenamibandela kwaze kwaba sekufeni, lapho ahlenga khona bonke abantu. Waze wavunyelwa lapho ukuba aphumule. Umsebenzi owenziwa nguJesu umele kuphela iNkathi yoMusa; awumele iNkathi yoMthetho, futhi awuthathi indawo yomsebenzi wezinsuku zokugcina. Lena yingqikithi yomsebenzi kaJesu eNkathini yoMusa, inkathi yesibili isintu esesedlule kuyo – iNkathi yokuHlengwa.

Amazwi KaNkulunkulu Abalulekile:
Ukuphatha kukaNkulunkulu kukonke kwahlukaniseke izigaba ezintathu, futhi esigabeni ngasinye, kudingeka okufanele leso sigaba kumuntu. Phezu kwalokho, njengoba kuhamba iminyaka futhi iqhubekela phambili, okudingwa uNkulunkulu kumuntu kuyaphakama kakhulu. Ngakho, esigabeni nesigaba, umsebenzi wokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu ufinyelela esicongweni, umuntu aze abone iqiniso "ngokubonakala Kwezwi enyameni," futhi ngale ndlela okudingeka kumuntu kuphakama kakhulu, futhi okudingeka kumuntu ekufakazeni kuphakama ngaphezu kwalokho. … Phambilini, kwakudingeka ukuthi umuntu ahambisane nomthetho kanye nemiyalelo, futhi kwakudingeka ukuthi abakezele futhi athobeke. Namuhla, kudingeka ukuthi umuntu alalele zonke izinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu futhi abe nothando oluphakeme lukaNkulunkulu, futhi ekugcineni kudingeka ukuthi aqhubeke nokuthanda uNkulunkulu phakathi kokuhlushwa. Lezi zigaba ezintathu zidingwa uNkulunkulu kumuntu, isinyathelo nenesinyathelo, ekuphatheni Kwakhe kukonke. Isigaba ngasinye somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu sijula ngaphezu kwesokugcina, futhi esigabeni ngasinye okudingeka kumuntu kukhulu kakhulu kunokokugcina, futhi ngale ndlela, ukuphatha kukaNkulunkulu kukonke kuya ngokuya kuhlangana. Isizathu salokhu ukuthi okudingeka kumuntu kuphakeme kakhulu kunesimo somuntu futhi kusondelene nezilinganiso zikaNkulunkulu, futhi yilapho lapho isintu sonke siya ngokuya sisuka ethonyeni likaSathane kuze kube wukuthi, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ufinyelela ekupheleni nya, isintu sisonke sizobe sisindile ethonyeni likaSathane.

Umsebenzi wokuphatha kaNkulunkulu waqala ekudalweni komhlaba, futhi umuntu uyingqikithi yalo msebenzi. Ukudala kukaNkulunkulu zonke izinto, kungashiwo ukuthi kungenxa yomuntu. Ngoba umsebenzi wokuphatha Kwakhe uqhubeke izinkulungwane zeminyaka, futhi awenziwa ngesikhathi esingangemizuzu noma imizuzwana, noma ngokuphazima kweso, noma ngonyaka owodwa noma emibili, kwadingeka ukuthi adale ezinye izinto ezidingekayo ukuze aphile umuntu, njengelanga, inyanga, ngezinhlobo ngezinhlobo zezidalwa eziphilayo, nokudla, kanye nendawo yokuphila yesintu. Lokhu kwabe kuwukuqala kokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu.
Emuva kwalokho, uNkulunkulu wanikezela ngesintu kuSathane, umuntu waphila ngaphansi kokubusa kukaSathane, futhi lokhu kancane kancane kwaholela emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu wenkathi yokuqala: indaba yeNkathi Yomthetho…. Eminyakeni eyizinkulungwane eziningi yeNkathi Yomthetho, isintu sajwayela ukuqondiswa kweNkathi Yomthetho, futhi baqala bakuthatha kalula, futhi kancane kancane, bakushiya ukunakekelwa nguNkulunkulu. Ngakho, ngesikhathi benamathele emthethweni, bakhonza izithixo futhi benza izinto ezimbi. Babengavikelwe nguJehova, futhi babemane bephila izimpilo zabo phambi kwethempeli. Empeleni, umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wabe usubashiyile kudala, nakuba abakwa-Israyeli babebambelele emthethweni, futhi bekhuluma ngegama likaJehova, futhi ngokuziqhenya besakholelwa ukuthi kwabe kuyibo bodwa abantu baJehova futhi babengabakhethiweyo baJehova, inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu yabalahla buthule…
…………
Njengoba kwakuhlale kwenzeka, emuva komsebenzi kaJehova ngeNkathi Yomthetho, uNkulunkulu waqala umsebenzi wakhe wesigaba sesibili: wathatha inyama, wathatha isimo sesintu iminyaka eyishumi, amashumi amabili, futhi ekhuluma futhi enza umsebenzi Wakhe phakathi kwamakholwa. Kepha, ngaphandle kokukhetha, akekho owayazi, futhi bambalwa abantu abemukela ukuthi wayenguNkulunkulu othathe isimo senyama emuva kokuthi iNkosi uJesu ibethelwe esiphambanweni futhi yavuswa. … Kwathi lapho isigaba sesibili somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu sesiphelile—emuva kokubethelwa esiphambanweni—umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokukhipha umuntu esonweni (okungukuthi, ukukhipha umuntu ezandleni zikaSathane) wafezeka. Ngakho, kusukela kulowo mzuzu kuqhubeka, isintu sase sidinga ukwemukeka iNkosi uJesu njengoMsindisi ukuze izono zaso zithethelelwe. Ngokubuka, izono zomuntu zabe zingasesona isithiyo ekutholeni kwakhe insindiso futhi ukuza phambi kukaNkulunkulu futhi zabe zingaseyona into uSathane ayengasizakala ngayo ukumangalela umuntu. Yingoba uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe wayenze umsebenzi ngempela, wayefike efana nenyama yesono, futhi uNkulunkulu uqobo Lwakhe wabe engumhlabelo wesono. Ngale ndlela, umuntu wahlika esiphambanweni, ehlengiwe futhi esindisiwe ngenxa yenyama kaNkulunkulu, umfanekiso wale nyama yesono. Ngakho, emuva kokuthunjwa nguSathane, umuntu wasondela kakhulu ekutheni emukele insindiso phambi kwaNkulunkulu. Impela, lesi sigaba somsebenzi kwabe kungukuphatha kukaNkulunkulu okwabe kuyisinyathelo esinyukelayo ukusuka eNkathini Yomthetho, futhi kwabe kusezingeni elijulile kuneNkathi Yomthetho.
…………
Kwase kufika iNkathi Yombuso, okuyisigaba somsebenzi esibonakalyo kepha futhi yiso esinzima kakhulu ukuthi umuntu asemukele. Yingoba njengoba umuntu esondela kuNkulunkulu, kusho ukusondela koswazi lukaNkulunkulu phambi komuntu. Kulandela ukuhlengwa komuntu, umuntu ubuyela ngokusemthethweni emndenini kaNkulunkulu. Umuntu wacabanga ukuthi manje isikhathi sokujabula, kepha uzithola ebhekene nokuhlaselwa okuqhamuka ngaphambili ngomfutho okuvela kuNkulunkulu, uhlobo olungakaze lubonwe ngumuntu. Kuyavela, ukuthi lokhu ukubhajadiswa abantu baNkulunkulu ekufanele bakujabulele. Ngaphansi kwempatho enjalo, abantu abanako abangakwenza kodwa ukuthi bame bacabange ukuthi, ngiyiwundlu ebelilahlekile iminyaka eminingi, uNkulunkulu akhiphe okukhulu ukulithenga futhi, ngakho kungani uNkulunkulu engiphatha kanje? Yindlela le yokuthi uNkulunkulu angihleke, angidalule?… Emuva kokuhamba kweminyaka, umuntu useshayekile, usedlule ebunzimeni bokucwengwa nokujeziswa. Nakuba umuntu eselahlekelwe “inkazimulo” kanye “nobumnandi” bezikhathi ezedlule, ngaphandle kokucabanga usefike ekuqondeni iqiniso lokuba umuntu, futhi usekwazi ukwazisa iminyaka yokuzinikela kukaNkulunkulu ukuthi asindise isintu. Umuntu uyaqala ukuzonda ukungaphucuki kwakhe. Uqala ukuzonda indlela anobudlova ngayo, nokungezwani kwakhe noNkulunkulu, nezicelo eziphoqayo ezingenangqondo azenzile Kuye. Isikhathi asinakuhlehliswa; izehlo ezedlule ziba izinkumbulo ezinokuzisola zomuntu, kanti amazwi nothando lukaNkulunkulu luba ngamandla amqhubela phambili umuntu empilweni yakhe entsha. Amanxeba omuntu ayaphola usuku nosuku, amandla akhe ayabuya, futhi asukume abheke ebusweni bukaSomandla … akutholayo nje ukuthi ubelokhu eseduze naye, nokuthi ukumamatheka Kwakhe kanye nobuso Bakhe obuhle buyamthinta kakhulu. Inhliziyo Yakhe isenokukhathazeka ngesintu asidala, futhi izandla Zakhe zisafudumele futhi zinamandla njengoba zazinjalo ekuqaleni. Kungathi-kumuntu ubuyele eNsimini Yase-Edeni, kepha manje umuntu akasalaleli ukuyenga kwenyoka, akasabususi ubuso bakhe kuJehova. Umuntu uyaguqa phambi kukaNkulunkulu, abheke phezulu ebusweni obumamathekayo bukaNkulunkulu, futhi anikele ngomhlatshelo wakhe oyigugu kunayo yonke—O! Nkosi Yami, Nkulunkulu Wami!

Umsebenzi owenziwa nguJesu wawumane uyisigaba esingaphezulu kweTestamente Elidala; wasetshenziselwa ukuqala inkathi, nokuhola leyo nkathi. Kungani athi, “Angizile ukuzochitha umthetho, kodwa ukuzowugcwalisa”? Nokho emsebenzini wakhe kuningi okwakwehlukile emithethweni eyayilandelwa ngama-Israyeli eTestamente Elidala, ngoba akezanga ukuzolalela umthetho, kodwa ukuwugcwalisa. Indlela yokuwugcwalisa yayihlanganisa izinto eziningi zangempela: Umsebenzi wakhe wawungokoqobo futhi ungowangempela, futhi, ngaphezu kwalokho, wawuphila, futhi ungekhona ukubambelela emfundisweni ngobumpumputhe. Ngabe ama-Israyeli ayengaligcini iSabatha? Lapho uJesu efika akazange aligcine iSabatha, ngoba wathi iNdodana yomuntu yayiyiNkosi yeSabatha, futhi lapho iNkosi yeSabatha ifika, yayizokwenza njengokufisa Kwayo. Wayezele ukugcwalisa imithetho yeTestamente Elidala nokuguqula imithetho. Konke lokhu okwenziwa namuhla kusukela kulokho okungokwamanje, nokho kusesesisekelweni somsebenzi kaJehova ngeNkathi Yomthetho, futhi akweqi ngale kwalo mklamo.

Yisisekelo senkathi eyedlule esenze ukuba umsebenzi wenziwe kuze kwaba namuhla. Nakuba imithetho yenkathi endala ingasashiwo, nezimfuno ezintsha sezifuniwe kuwe, le mithetho ayiqediwe, futhi kunalokho, iphakanyisiwe. Ukuthi isiqediwe kusho ukuthi inkathi edlule isiphelelwe yisikhathi, kodwa kunemiyalelo okufanele uhlale uyihlonipha. Imiyalelo yenkathi edlule isivele yenziwe, ivele isiwukuphila komuntu, futhi akukho sidingo sokuphinda imiyalelo yokungabhemi, ukungaphuzi, njalo njalo. Phezu kwalesi sisekelo, imiyalelo emisha iyabekwa ngokuhambelana nezidingo namuhla, ngokuhambisana nesiqu sakho, nangokuhambisana nomsebenzi wanamuhla. Ukumemezela imiyalelo yenkathi entsha akusho ukuqeda imiyalelo yenkathi endala, kodwa ukuyiphakamisa phezu kwalesi sisekelo, ukwenza izenzo zomuntu ziphelele ngokwengeziwe, futhi zihambisane kakhudlwana nokungokoqobo. Uma, namuhla benivunyelwe ukuba nilandele kuphela imiyalelo futhi niphile ngemithetho yeTestamente Elidala, ngendlela efana neyama-Israyeli, futhi ukuba, ngaphezulu, bekumele nize nibambe ngekhanda imithetho eyabekwa nguJehova, bekungeke kwenzeke ukuba niguquke. Uma bekufanele niphile ngaleyo mithetho embalwa enemingcele noma nibambe ngekhanda imithetho engabaleki, imvelo yenu endala ibizohlala igxile ngokujulile, futhi ibingeke ibe khona indlela yokuyisiphula. Ngakho benizogcina senonakele ngokwengeziwe, futhi akekho noyedwa phakathi kwenu obeyolalela. Okusho ukuthi imiyalo elula embalwa noma imithetho engabaleki ngeke ikwazi ukunisiza ukuba nazi izenzo zikaJehova. Nina anifani nama-Israyeli: Ngokulandela imithetho nokubamba ngekhanda imiyalo akwazi ukubona izenzo zikaJehova, nokuzinikela Kuye yedwa, kodwa niyehluleka ukufinyelela kulokhu, futhi imiyalelo embalwa yenkathi yeTestamente Elidala ayigcini nje ngokunenza ningakwazi ukunikela ngenhliziyo yenu, noma ngokunivikela kodwa kunalokho izonenza ninganaki futhi inehlisele eHayidesi. Ngenxa yokuthi umsebenzi Wami ungumsebenzi wokunqoba, futhi ubhekiswe ekungalalelini nasemvelweni yenu endala. Amazwi anomusa kaJehova noJesu akude namazwi anzima okwahlulela namuhla. Ngaphandle kwamazwi aqine kanjalo, bekungeke kwenzeke ukuba kunqotshwe nina “bochwepheshe”, ababe ngabangalaleli iminyaka eyizinkulungwane. Imithetho yeTestamente Elidala kudala yaphelelwa ngamandla kinina futhi ukwahlulelwa kwanamuhla kuyidlula kude imithetho yakudala. Into enifanele kakhulu ukwahlulelwa hhayi imingcele engatheni yemithetho, ngoba nina anisona isintu sasekuqaleni, kodwa niyisintu esesonakele iminyaka eyizinkulungwane. Okumele umuntu afinyelele kukho manje kungokuhambisana nesimo sangempela somuntu namuhla, ngokuhambisana nezinga nesiqu sangempela somuntu wanamuhla futhi akudingi ukuba ulandele imfundiso.

Akekho okwakumele asebenze ngeSabatha noma aphule umthetho kaJehova. Kodwa akunjalo namuhla. NgeSabatha, abantu bayasebenza, baqoqane ndawonye bathandaze njengenjwayelo, futhi akukho mingcele ebekiwe. Labo ababeseNkathini Yomusa kwakumele babhapathizwe; kwakungagcini lapho, kwakuthiwa bazile ukudla, bahlephule isinkwa, baphuze iwayini, bamboze amakhanda abo futhi bageze izinyawo zabo. Manje, le miyalo isiqediwe futhi sekufuneka okuningi kumuntu, ngoba umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uyaqhubeka ujula futhi ukungena komuntu kuya kukhula ngisho nakakhulu. Endulo, uJesu wayebeka izandla Zakhe kumuntu athandaze, kodwa ngoba manje zonke izinto sezishiwo sikuphi isidingo sokubeka izandla? Amazwi nje ewodwa angafeza okuningi. Kuqala lapho ebeka izandla kumuntu othile, kwakuwukubusisa nokuphulukisa umuntu. Yileyo ndlela uMoya oNgcwele owawusebenza ngayo ngaleso sikhathi kodwa manje akusenjalo. Manje uMoya oNgcwele usebenzisa amazwi emsebenzini Wakhe ukuze athole imiphumela. Usenze amazwi Akhe acaca kini futhi kumele nje niwasebenzise.

UMoya oNgcwele usebenza ngokuhambisana nenkathi, hhayi nje ngokuthanda noma ngemithetho ebekiwe. Inkathi isiguqukile futhi inkathi entsha kumele ifike nomsebenzi omusha. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ngazo zonke izigaba zomsebenzi futhi umsebenzi Wakhe awuphindwa nhlobo. ENkathini Yomusa, uJesu wenza umsebenzi omningi, njengomsebenzi wokuphulukisa, ukuxosha amadimoni, ukubeka izandla kubantu ngokubathandazela nokubabusisa. Nokho, ukuqhubeka nokwenza lowo msebenzi namuhla ngeke kusize ngalutho. UMoya oNgcwele wasebenza ngaleyo ndlela ngaleso sikhathi ngoba kwakuyiNkathi Yomusa futhi umuntu wayeboniswe umusa owanele ukuze ajabule. Akudingekanga ukuba umuntu akhokhe okuthile ukuze athole umusa, kuphela nje uma enokholo. Bonke babephathwe ngomusa. Manje inkathi isiguqukile futhi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu usuqhubekele phambili; ngokusola nokwahlulela Kwakhe, ukuvukela komuntu nezinto ezingcolile kumuntu zizokhishelwa ngaphandle.

Iminyaka eyizi-6,000 yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokuphatha ihlukaniswe ezigabeni ezintathu: iNkathi Yomthetho, iNkathi Yomusa kanye neNkathi Yombuso. Le zigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi zonke ezokusindiswa kwesintu, okusho ukuthi, ezokusindiswa kwesintu esonakaliswe kakhulu nguSathane. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, kepha, ezokuthi uNkulunkulu alwe noSathane. Ngakho, njengoba umsebenzi wensindiso uhlukaniswe izigaba ezintathu, ngokunjalo impi noSathane ihlukaniswe izigaba ezintathu, futhi le zingxenye zombili zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu zenzeka ngesikhathi esisodwa. Impi noSathane, empeleni, eyokusindiswa kwesintu, futhi ngenxa yokuthi umsebenzi wokusindiswa kwesintu akuyona into engaqedwa ngempumelelo esigabeni esisodwa, impi noSathane nayo ihlukaniswe ngezigaba nezinkathi, futhi nempi iliwa noSathane ngokuhambisana nezidingo zomuntu kanye nezinga lokonakaliswa kwakhe nguSathane. … Emsebenzini wensindiso yomuntu, izigaba ezintathu zenziwe, okusho ukuthi impi noSathane ihlukaniswe izigaba ezintathu ngaphambi kokuhlulwa okuphelele kukaSathane. Kepha iqiniso elingaphakathi lomsebenzi wonkana wempi noSathane imiphumela yawo itholakala ngokuthela umusa phezu komuntu, kanye nokuba umhlabelo wesono womuntu, ukuthethelela izono zomuntu, ukunqoba umuntu, nokuphelelisa umuntu. Empeleni, impi eliwa noSathane akukhona ukuhloma ngezikhali ubhekane noSathane, kodwa insindiso yomuntu, ukusebenza impilo yomuntu, kanye nokushintsha isimo somuntu ukuze afakazele uNkulunkulu. USathane unqotshwa kanje. USathane unqotshwa ngokushintsha isimo esikhohlakele somuntu. Uma uSathane esehluliwe, okusho ukuthi, uma umuntu esesindisiwe ngokuphelele, uSathane ojabhile uyoboshwa ngokuphelele, futhi ngaleyo ndlela, umuntu uyobe esesindisiwe ngokuphelele. Ngakho, ingqikithi yensindiso yomuntu impi noSathane, kanti impi noSathane ibonakaliswa esikakhulukazi ensindisweni yomuntu. Isigaba sezinsuku zokugcina, lapho umuntu ezonqotshwa khona, isigaba sokugcina sempi noSathane, kanti futhi umsebenzi wokusindiswa okuphelele komuntu emandleni kaSathane. Inhloso yangaphakathi yokunqotshwa komuntu ukubuya kokusamuntu kukaSathane, umuntu owonakaliswe nguSathane, kuMdali, emuva kokunqotshwa kwakhe, ngalokho uyoshiya uSathane futhi abuyele ngokuphelele kuNkulunkulu. Ngale ndlela umuntu uyobe esesindisiwe ngokuphelele. Ngakho, umsebenzi wokunqoba umsebenzi wokugcina empini ebhekene noSathane, kanye nesigaba sokugcina ekuphatheni kukaNkulunkulu ukuze kuhlulwe uSathane. Ngaphandle kwalo msebenzi, ukusindiswa komuntu okuphelele bekungeke kwenzeke neze ekugcineni, ukuhlulwa ngokuphelele kukaSathane nakho bekungeke kwenzeke neze, futhi isintu besingeke neze sikwazi ukungena esiphethweni esimangalisayo, noma ukukhululeka ethonyeni likaSathane. Ngenxa yalokho, umsebenzi wokusindiswa komuntu ngeke uphethwe ngaphambi kukuthi impi kuphothulwe impi eliwa noSathane, ngoba umnyombo womsebenzi wokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu ungenxa yokusindiswa kwesintu. Isintu sasekuqaleni sasisezandleni zikaNkulunkulu, kodwa ngenxa yokulingwa nguSathane nokonakaliswa, umuntu waboshwa nguSathane futhi wawela ezandleni zomubi. Ngakho, uSathane waba yinto yokunqotshwa emsebenzini wokuphatha kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba uSathane wamngena umuntu, uma umuntu ezosindiswa, kufanele ahlwithwe ezandleni zikaSathane. Uma umuntu ekhululiwe ethonyeni nokuboshwa nguSathane, uSathane uyojabhiswa, umuntu ekugcineni uyobuyiselwa emuva, futhi uSathane uyohlulwa. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi umuntu usekhululiwe ethonyeni elimnyama likaSathane, umuntu uyoba impango yayo yonke le mpi, futhi uSathane uyoba umenziwa oyojeziswa uma le mpi seyiphelile, emuva kwalokho umsebenzi usuwonkana wokusindiswa komuntu uyobe usuqediwe.

Umsebenzi ngaphansi komthetho umelela kuphela inkathi eyodwa. Ngakho, uma uNkulunkulu enze umsebenzi eNkathini Yomthetho kuphela, umuntu ubengachaza uNkulunkulu athi, “UNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu osethempelini. Ukuze sikhonze uNkulunkulu, kumele sigqoke izingubo zabapristi bese singena ethempelini.” Ukube umsebenzi oseNkathini Yomusa awuzange wenziwe futhi ukube iNkathi Yomthetho iqhubekile kwaze kwaba namuhla, umuntu ubengeke akwazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu unesihe nothando. Ukube umsebenzi weNkathi Yomthetho awuzange wenziwe, kodwa kwenziwe kuphela umsebenzi weNkathi Yomusa, umuntu ubeyokwazi kuphela ukuthi uNkulunkulu angamkhulula umuntu futhi amthethelele izono. Abantu bebeyokwazi kuphela ukuthi ungcwele futhi akanacala, angazidela futhi abulawe ngenxa yomuntu. Umuntu ubeyokwazi lokhu kuphela futhi angakuqondi okunye. Ngakho inkathi ngayinye imelele isimo sikaNkulunkulu. INkathi Yomthetho imelele izingxenye ezithile, iNkathi Yomusa imelele izingxenye ezithile futhi lena imelele okunye. Isimo sikaNkulunkulu singambulwa ngokuphelele ngokuhlanganisa lezi zinkathi ezintathu. Umuntu angakuqonda kahle kuphela lapho eziqaphela zonke lezi zigaba. Kungeqiwe nesisodwa isigaba. Isimo sikaNkulunkulu semvelo niyokwazi ukusiqonda ngokuphelele lapho senazi lezi zigaba ezintathu zomsebenzi. Ukuqeda kukaNkulunkulu umsebenzi Wakhe ngeNkathi Yomthetho akusho ukuthi unguNkulunkulu ongaphansi komthetho nokuthi ukupheleliswa komsebenzi Wakhe wokukhulula isintu akubonisi ukuthi uNkulunkulu uyohlezi ekhulula abantu. Le yimiphumela yokucabanga kwabantu. INkathi Yomusa isifike ekugcineni, kodwa angeke uthi uNkulunkulu ungowesiphambano kuphela nokuthi isiphambano sisho ukusindisa kukaNkulunkulu.
