Njengoba uNkulunkulu asho wathi, “Wonke umuntu uziphethe kahle, futhi akekho noyedwa onesibindi sokudlubulunda. Bonke bangaphansi kokuqondiswa Kwami, benza imisebenzi yabo engibanike yona.” Ngokucacileyo, akukho noyedwa umuntu othola ukusolwa ngenhloso, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, lokhu kuvela KuNkulunkulu, ngoba abantu bonke bafuna ukuphila ngokuzijabulisa kunokuthi babe nesiphithiphithi kanye nenxushunxushu. UNkulunkulu wathi, “Ngubani ongakwesabi ukufa? Ngabe abantu bazimisele ngempela ukuzinikela bona uqobo?” Lokhu kuyikho ngempela; wonke umuntu uyesaba ukufa ngaphandle, empeleni, uma egajwe yintukuthelo nokuphela kwethemba. Lokhu yinto yabantu, futhi kunzima kakhulu ukukugwema. Namuhla uNkulunkulu ufikele ukusombulula le nkinga ngqo. Abantu bonke kabanamandla, ngakho uNkulunkulu usebenzise konke anakho ukuzifikela mathupha kubo azohlela isibhedlela esikhethekile ukubelapha kulolu hlobo lwesifo. Abantu abakwazi ukuzelapha bona kulesi sifo esibabambileyo, okuyisizathu esibenza bonke babe nexhala kushise umlomo, futhi izisu zabo zinwebeke. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi inani lomoya abawuqukethe liyakhula, libe nomphumela wengcindezelo ngokuphakeme. Ekugcineni, izisu zabo ziyaqhuma futhi bafe bonke. Ngakho-ke, kulelo phuzu, uNkulunkulu ukwelaphile lokhu kugula komuntu okunzima kakhulu, ngoba wonke umuntu ufile. Ngabe lokhu akwelaphi isimo somuntu? UNkulunkulu wenze ngamabomu ukuthi afike ukuzokwenza lo msebenzi. Ngokuthi abantu bagajwe ukwesaba ukufa, uNkulunkulu Uqobo ufikile ukuzibandakanya nomsebenzi ofanayo nowabantu; ngokuthi banesibindi esincane kangaka, uqale ngokwenza isibonelo abazobukela kuso. Kusemva kokubona lesi sibonelo kuphela lapho beye baba nesifiso sokulalela khona. Ngalesi sizathu, uNkulunkulu wathi, “Ngoba akekho noyedwa okwaze ukwenza umsebenzi Wami, Ngibeke unyawo enkundleni yempi kumuntu ukuba azibandakanye nomzabalazo wempilo nokufa noSathane.” Lena yimpi engumnqamula-juqu, kuphakathi kokuthi inhlanzi iyafa noma inethi iyadabuka. [c] Kuliqiniso lokhu. Ngokuthi umoya uzonqoba ekugcineni, inyama kumele ibe yisisulu sokufa. Ngabe uyayiqonda imiphumela yalokhu? Nokho, ningabi ngabathinteka kalula. Mhlawumbe lo musho ulula, noma mhlawumbe uyinkimbinkimbi. Nakuba kunjalo, abantu abakakwazi ukuwukala. Lokhu kuliqiniso. Abantu bayakwazi, ekukhathazekeni kwabo, ukwamukela ukucwengwa yizwi likaNkulunkulu; ngalokho umuntu usengasho ukuthi lena yinhlanhla yabo enhle. Nakuba kunjalo kusangashiwo futhi ukuthi akuyona inhlanhla yabo. Ngisathanda ukukhumbuza wonke umuntu, nokho, ukuthi inhloso kaNkulunkulu ikahle, vele—kungafani nezinhloso zabantu, ezivame ukuthi kube ngezokwenza amasu nezinhlelo zabo. Kumele kunicacele lokhu, futhi kungacwili nje emicabangweni engenasiphelo. Akulona iphutha langempela labantu leli? Bonke banje; esikhundleni sokuthanda uNkulunkulu kuze kube szingeni elithile, bazithanda bona kuze kube sezingeni elithile. Ngokuthi unguNkulunkulu onomona ngabantu, njalo wethula izicelo zaKhe kubo. Ngokuqhubeka kwabantu nokuzithanda kwabo, kwanda nokuthi uNkulunkulu afune bathande Yena, futhi ngokuqina nezindinganiso zaKhe kubo. Kungathi uNkulunkulu udlala nabo ngenhloso. Uma abantu kungukuthi bamthanda ngeqiniso, kubukeka sengathi akanandaba nalokho. Ngenxa yalokhu, abantu bonke benwaya amakhanda benyakazisa izindlebe zabo ngenkathi befikelwa imicabango ejulile. Lena yindaba kaNkulunkulu nesimo saKhe, ukuphawula nje into eyodwa noma ezimbili. Yintando kaNkulunkulu lena. Yilokho uNkulunkulu adinga ukuthi abantu bakwazi; kuyimpoqo. Umsebenzi omusha odinga nina bantu ukuthi nikwazi ukusebenza kanzima ukuphumelela kulokhu futhi nenze intuthuko entsha. Niyakuqonda lokhu? Nisadinga ukuthi Mina ngisho okwengeziwe ngesihloko?
Ngokwezikhathi ezedlule, uNkulunkulu wathi, “akukho noyedwa owake wakhethwa Yimi; bonke benqatshiwe ngukuthula Kwami. Lokhu kungoba laba bantu esikhathini esedlule abazange bangikhonze ngokuqondile kanye nangokuzinikela okuphelele; ngalokho angizange ngibathande kuphela, nangakho lokho. Bathathe ‘izipho’ zikaSathane babuya bazethula kiMina; ngokwenza njalo, lokho akukhona yini ukungihlazisa?” Angachazwa kanjani la mazwi? Kunjengoba uNkulunkulu asho ethi: “Zonke izipho zivela kuSathane.” Izizukulwane ezedlule zabafundi nabaphrofethi zazincike ngokuphelele kuzo izipho ngenkathi zenza umsebenzi wazo, futhi sekuyiminyaka eminingi, uNkulunkulu ezisebenzisa izipho ukwenza umsebenzi waKhe. Lokhu kuyiso isizathu sokuthi kuthiwe umsebenzi wabo bonke abantu onezipho uvela kuSathane. Nokho, njengoba uNkulunkulu esho ethi, [d] “Ngisebenzisa iqhinga likaSathane njengesiqhathaniso Sami,” ngenxa yokuhlakanipha kwaKhe. Ngakho, uNkulunkulu uwubize ngezipho ezivela kuSathane umsebenzi wabantu wezipho. Ngenxa yokuthi zingezikaSathane, uNkulunkulu uzibiza ngokunyundela. Akukhona ukubalahla okungenasizathu abantu ngecala; yincazelo enesizathu nefanelekileyo. Ngalesi sizathu, wathi, “angikuvezanga ukwenyanya Kwami; kunalokho, Ngizame ukuguqula icebo labo ukuze lisetshenziswe Yimi ngokwengeza lezi “zipho” ezintweni ezisetshenziselwa ekuphatheni Kwami. Kamuva, lapho umshini sewukusebenzile, Ngizoshisa yonke imfucuza esele.” Yilokhu okuhle ngokuyisimangaliso ngomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Leli phuzu lisekugcineni nemicabango yomuntu, ngoba akukho noyedwa obeyocabanga ukuthi labo ababusa njengamakhosi akubona abantu abanezipho, ngabantu abangenazipho abathandayo uNkulunkulu. Njengoba singabona, imibono noma amathemba kaWitness Lee benoWatchman Nee wonke aphenduke umlotha—kanti abantu bezipho osukwini lwanamuhla abanakukhishelwa ngaphandle. Manje uNkulunkulu uwuqalile lo msebenzi, futhi uthatha kancane kancane ebuyisela emuva wonke umsebenzi kaMoya oNgcwele kulabo bantu abavela njengabaqhathanisekayo nomsebenzi waKhe. Lapho sewuphele ngokuphelele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, laba bantu bazobuyela bonke ezindaweni zabo zokuqala. Nokho, Ngiyabanxusa abantu ukuba bangabi ngabanganaki ngesizathu salokhu engikushilo. Kumele uhambe nabahambayo, ulandele izinyathelo zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ukugwema ukuwuphazamisa. Uyalizwa leli phuzu? Ngokuthi lesi yisinyathelo kanye nendlela yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Uma uNkulunkulu “esebenzisa” lezi “zipho” zibe “umkhiqizo osuqediwe,” zonke izinhloso zakhe zizocaca, futhi izipho ezenza umsebenzi waKhe zisuswe; nokho, uNkulunkulu uzoba nomkhiqizo osuqediwe ukuba awujabulele. Uyakuqonda lokhu? Okufunwa nguNkulunkulu yimikhiqizo ephelele, hhayi izipho zobucebi ezinikelwa ngabantu. Kuphela lapho wonke umuntu esehlezi phansi ngokwezinombolo zamathikithi abo lapho uNkulunkulu esebuyele esihlalweni saKhe sakuqala, nodeveli, naye, esehlezi kwesakhe isihlalo, kanjalo nezingelosi, ngothi lwazo—kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho kuyoba khona nokumamatheka ebusweni bukaNkulunkulu, ngoba izinhloso zaKhe zizobe sezanelisiwe, inhloso yaKhe izobe seyifeziwe. UNkulunkulu akaseyubuye afune “usizo” oluvela “kudeveli” ngoba izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu ziyobe sezambulwe zabekwa obala kubantu, futhi abantu abasoze basaphinde benziwe bazedlulise. Ngalesi sikhathi, imizimba yabo yenyama iyoba munye nemimoya yabo. Yilokhu uNkulunkulu akwembulayo kubantu; yindawo yokugcina okuyofinyelela kuyo umoya, umphefumulo kanye nomzimba. Ukubuyekezwa kombono wokuqala “ngabantu.” Lokhu akudingi ukucwaningwa ngokujulile; kwanele ukwazi into eyodwa noma ezimbili ezimayelana nakho. Uyakuqonda?
Imibhalo yaphansi:
a. Umbhalo wokuqala ufundeka kanje “Akukhona yini lokhu okuzuzwa nguNkulunkulu kubantu namuhla?”
b. Umbhalo wokuqala awunalo leli gama “ukucabanga.”
c. Kuphakathi kokuthi inhlanzi iyafa noma inethi iyadabuka: isaga saseChina, esichaza “umzabalazo wokuphila nokufa.”
d. Umbhalo wokuqala awunawo la magama “njengoba uNkulunkulu ethi.”
