Okulandelayo, ngenxa yokwesaba, ningawashayi indiva amazwi kaNkulunkulu. Bhekani ukuze nibone ukuthi uNkulunkulu unakho yini okusha akufunayo. Nakanjani, niyokuthola okufana nalokhu akufunayo: “Kusukela manje kuya phambili, kuzo zonke izinto kumele ungene eqinisweni lokwenza; ukunyakazisa nje izinsini njengoba kade nenza, angeke kusaniyisa ndawo.” Ukuhlakanipha bukaNkulunkulu bubonakala lapha futhi. UNkulunkulu uhlale emvikele njalo ufakazi Wakhe, bese kuthi lapho ubuqiniso bamazwi esikhathi esedlule sebufike esiphethweni sabo, akukho noyedwa okwazi ukuqonda ulwazi “lweqiniso lokwenza.” Lokhu kwanele ukufakazela iqiniso lokwashiwo nguNkulunkulu ukuthi “Nginquma ukuwenza Mina umsebenzi.” Kumayelana nomqondo wangempela womsebenzi wobunkulunkulu, kuphinde kuhambisane nesizathu sokuthi isintu, emva kokufinyelela esigabeni sokuqala esisha, namanje asikakwazi ukuqonda incazelo eyiyo ngempela yamazwi kaNkulunkulu. Lokhu kungoba esikhathini sakudala iningi labantu lalibambelela ebuqinisweni bamazwi kaNkulunkulu, kanti namuhla abazi lutho ngobuqiniso bokuphila, kodwa baqonda kuphela izingxenye eziludlana nje zala mazwi, abayiqondi injula yawo. Okubaluleke kakhulu, ukuthi namuhla, ekwakheni umbuso, akekho ovunyelwe ukugxambukela, kodwa kufanele kuhlonishwe umthetho kaNkulunkulu njengezidalwa ezisamshini. Kukhumbule kahle lokhu! Njalo uma uNkulunkulu ebhekisa enkathini eyedlule, uqala akhulume ngesimo samanje; le yindlela yokukhuluma eyakha umehluko ocacile phakathi kokuza ngaphambili nokuza ngemuva, bese kuthi ngenxa yalokhu ikwazi ukuthola izithelo ezingcono, yenze abantu bakwazi ukubeka inamuhla eduze kwezolo, bese kuthi ngale ndlela bakubalekele ukuxoveka komehluko phakathi kwalezi zinto zombili. Lokhu kuyingxenye eyodwa nje yokuhlakanipha bukaNkulunkulu, futhi inhloso yabo ngukuthola izithelo zomsebenzi Wakhe. Emva kwalokhu, uNkulunkulu uphinde aveze ububi besintu ukuze abantu bangakhohlwa neze ukudla baphuze amazwi kaNkulunkulu nsuku zonke, nokuthi, ikakhulu, bazazi nsuku zonke futhi bakuthathe lokhu njengesifundo okufanele basifunde nsuku zonke.
Lapho eqeda ukukhuluma la mazwi, uNkulunkulu usezuze umphumela abewuhlosile kwasekuqaleni. Ngakho-ke, ngale kokuqhubeka nokunaka ukuthi isintu siyamuzwa yini, uyakuthinta lokhu ngemisho embalwa, ngoba umsebenzi kaSathane awuhlangene ngalutho nesintu—isintu asinalwazi noluncane ngalokhu. Manje uma ushiya umhlaba womoya, buka futhi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukubeka kanjani akufunayo esintwini: “Uma ngiphumule lapho ngihlala khona, ngiyabhekisisa: Bonke abantu emhlabeni bafuna ‘ukuhamba bazule umhlaba wonke’ bejahile beya phambili nasemuva, konke lokhu ngoba befuna lapho beya khona, ikusasa labo. Kodwa akekho noyedwa onamandla okwakha umbuso Wami, into engafani ngisho nokudonsa umoya kanye nje.” Emva kokunikezelana ngala magama nabantu uNkulunkulu uyaqhubeka nokubashaya indiva, kodwa uqhubeka nokukhuluma eqhamuka ngasohlangothini lukaMoya, bese, ngala mazwi, eveza izimo ezejwayelekile zempilo yesintu jikelele. Kusobala ukubona, emazwini athi “ukuhamba bazule umhlaba wonke” nathi “bejahile beya phambili nasemuva,” ukuthi impilo yomuntu ayiphethe lutho. Ngaphandle kwensindiso enamandla amakhulu kaNkulunkulu, labo abazalelwe emindenini ekhandlekile ebukhosini baseChina bebeyoqhubeka nokuphila yonke impilo yabo ezeni futhi babengamane baphonseke eHayidesi nasesihogweni befika nje emhlabeni. Ngaphansi kombuso kadrako omkhulu obomvu, bengazi, base bonile kuNkulunkulu, base, ngokwemvelo nangokungazi, bawela ngaphansi kokusolwa kukaNkulunkulu. Ngalesi sizathu uNkulunkulu usethathe labo, “abakhulule ekuhluphekeni” nalabo “abangabongi’ wababeka ndawonye ngokwehlukana kwabo, ukuze abantu bazazi ngokucace kakhudlwana, kwakheke kulokhu isithombe esigqamisa umusa Wakhe osindisayo. Akuwenzi umphumela oshaya emhlolweni kangcono lokhu? Kunjalo, akudingi nokuthi ngikubeke ngokusobala kanje ukuthi abantu, besusela engqikithini yokukhuluma kukaNkulunkulu, bayayizwa inhlese yokusola, nakhona lapho, neyensindiso nokuncenga, kanye nomoyana wosizi. Ekufundeni la mazwi, abantu bayaqala, bengahlosile, ukuzwa ukuphatheka kabi okulokozayo ezinhliziyweni zabo, bazizwe sebechiphiza izinyembezi.… Kodwa uNkulunkulu ngeke avinjwe yimizwa embalwa yosizi, futhi ngeke, ngenxa yokonakala kwesintu sonke, awuyeke umsebenzi Wakhe wokuqondisa abantu Bakhe futhi afune akufunayo kubona. Ngenxa yalokhu, izihloko Zakhe ziqonda ngqo ezimweni ezinjengalezi zanamuhla, bese, ngaphezu kwalokhu, ememezela esintwini ubukhosi bezinqumo Zakhe zokuphatha, ukuze uhlelo Lwakhe luqhubekele phambili. Yilokho okwenza ukuthi, elandela kulokhu ngokuphuthuma okukhulu futhi engapholisi maseko, uNkulunkulu wethula, kulesi sigaba, umthethosisekelo wezikhathi, umthethosisekelo okufanele ufundwe ngokukhulu ukunakekela lolo nalolo luhlamvu ngaphambi kokuba isintu siyiqonde intando kaNkulunkulu. Akukho sidingo sokugxila kulokhu—kufanele nje bafunde ngokunakekela okuthe xaxa.
Namuhla, nina—leli qembu labantu abalapha—niyilabo okuwukuphela kwabo abakwazi ukuwabona ngokweqiniso amazwi kaNkulunkulu. Noma kunjalo, ekwazini uNkulunkulu abantu banamuhla basilele kude kakhulu kuwo wonke umuntu wakudala. Kulokhu, usobala ngokwanele umsebenzi osewenziwe nguSathane kubantu kule minyaka eyizinkulungwane eziningi, nezinga osewone ngayo abantu, okukhulu ngendlela yokuthi, nakuba uNkulunkulu esekhulume amazwi amaningi kangaka, isintu namanje asimqondi futhi asimazi uNkulunkulu, esikhundleni salokho sikwazi ukusukuma simphikise obala. Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu uqhakambisa amadoda asendulo ukugqamisa ukwehluko kwawo kubantu banamuhla, ukunikeza laba bakamuva, bengenamizwa futhi besangene benjalo, amaphuzu athintekayo abangasebenzela phezu kwawo. Ngenxa yokuthi abantu abanalwazi ngoNkulunkulu nokuthi abanalo ukholo olumsulwa Kuye, uNkulunkulu usenqume ukuthi isintu asinawo amandla nomqondo, ngakho-ke usephinde, kaninginingi wabakhombisa ukubabekezelela wabanikeza insindiso. Impi ilwiwa ngalezi zinto endaweni yomoya: kuyithemba elingekho likaSathane lokona umuntu kuze kufike ezingeni elithile, enze umhlaba ungcole ube mubi, kanjalo-ke adonsele umuntu obhukwini, abhidlize uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu. Kodwa uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu aluhlosile ukwenza sonke isintu ukuthi sibe ngabantu abamaziyo, kodwa ukukhetha ingxenye ukuba imele bonke, lushiya abanye njengezinsalela, izimpahla ezonakele, abafanele ukuphonswa engqumbini kadoti. Ngakho-ke, noma ngokukaSathane, ukuthatha abantu abambalwa kubonakala kuyithuba elihle kakhulu lokubhidliza uhlelo lukaNkulunkulu, kodwa-ke yini isiphukuphuku esinje esingayazi ngenhloso kaNkulunkulu? Yikho uNkulunkulu athi, kudala, “Ngemboze ubuso Bami ukuze ngingawubuki lo mhlaba.” Siyazi kancane ngalokhu, futhi uNkulunkulu akaceli ukuthi abantu kube khona abakwazi ukukwenza, kodwa uthi ababone akwenzayo njengokumangalisayo nokungaqondakali bese bemhlonipha kakhulu ezinhliziyweni zabo. Uma, njengoba umuntu ecabanga, uNkulunkulu ubeyomsola ngaphandle kokubuka izimo, ngabe wonke umhlaba kade wabhubha. Kwakungeke lokhu kube ukungena emgogeni kaSathane? Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu usebenzisa amazwi Akhe kuphela ukuthola izithelo anazo emqondweni; akuvamile ukuba nokuza kwamaqiniso. Akuyiso lokhu isibonelo salokhu akusho: “Uma ngingazange nginizwele ngenxa yokweswela ukufaneleka kwenu, ukuqonda kwenu, nolwazi eninalo, nonke ningabhubha ngesikhathi Sami sokulungisa, ningabe nisaba khona emhlabeni. Kodwa kuze kube ukuthi umsebenzi Wami emhlabeni usuphelelisiwe, ngizohlala nginozwelo kubantu”?
