UMoya oNgcwele usebenza kanjani manje ebandleni? Niyakwazi lokho? Yiziphi izingqinamba ezinkulu zabafowenu nodadewenu? Yini abayintula kakhulu? Okwamanje, kunabantu abanokudembesela lapho bebhekene nezilingo, futhi abanye baze bakhononde, abanye abasayi ngisho phambili ngoba uNkulunkulu akasakhulumi. Abantu abangenanga emgudwini ofanele wokukholwa kuNkulunkulu.
Abakwazi ukuphila ngokuzimela, futhi abakwazi ukunakekela ukuphila kwabo komoya. Kunabanye abalandelayo, abalwa ngomdlandla, futhi abazimisele ngokwenza lapho uNkulunkulu ekhuluma. Kodwa lapho uNkulunkulu engakhulumi, ababe besaya phambili. Abantu abakayiqondi intando kaNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo futhi akuzenzakaleli ukuthi babe nothando lukaNkulunkulu; ukulandela kwabo uNkulunkulu ngokwedlule kwakungenxa yokuthi babephoqiwe. Manje kunabantu asebekhathele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Abekho yini engozini? Abantu abaningi basesimweni sokuphila nje. Nakuba bedla futhi bephuze amazwi kaNkulunkulu, baphinde bathandaze Kuye, konke abakwenzi ngenhliziyo yabo yonke. Abanawo umdlandla abake baba nawo, futhi abantu abaningi abanandaba nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wokucwenga nokuphelelisa. Kufana nokuthi abakaze babe nomdlandla ngaphakathi, futhi lapho sebenqotshwe iziphambeko, abazizwa bembonga uNkulunkulu noma bezisola, abalilandeli iqiniso noma bashiye ibandla. Bafuna izinjabulo zesikhashana kuphela. Lolu uhlobo lweziphukuphuku eziyiziwula kakhulu! Lapho kufika isikhathi, bayochithwa bonke, futhi akekho noyedwa oyosindiswa! Ingabe ucabanga ukuthi uma othile eke wasindiswa uyohlale esindisiwe? Lokhu kumane kungukuzama ukukhohlisa abantu! Bonke labo abangakufuni ukungena ekuphileni bayosolwa. Abantu abaningi empeleni abanandaba nokungena ekuphileni, emibonweni, noma ekwenzeni iqiniso. Abakulweli ukungena, eqinisweni abasafuni nokungena ngokujulile. Abazoni bona? Okwamanje, kunengxenye yabantu abanezimo eziya ngokuya ziba ngcono. Uma nje uMoya oNgcwele usebenza ngokwengeziwe, kuyanda nokuzethemba kwabo, futhi lapho bebona izinto, babuqonda kakhudlwana ububanzi bemfihlakalo yomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Lapho bengena bejula, baqonda kakhudlwana. Bezwa ukuthi uthando lukaNkulunkulu lukhulu kakhulu, bazizwa beqinile futhi bekhanyiselwe ngaphakathi. Bayawuqonda umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Laba abantu uMoya oNgcwele osebenza kubo. Abanye bathi, nakuba engekho amazwi amasha kaNkulunkulu, kusamele ngifune ukungena ngijule eqinisweni, kumele ngibe qotho kukho konke engikwenzayo futh ngingene emazwini kaNkulunkulu angokoqobo. Lolu hlobo lomuntu lunomsebenzi kaMoya Oyingcwele. Nakuba uNkulunkulu engabuvezi ubuso Bakhe futhi ezifihle kuwo wonke umuntu, futhi engasho lizwi, futhi kunezikhathi lapho abantu bezwa ukucwengwa ngaphakathi, kodwa uNkulunkulu akabashiyaile ngokuphelele abantu. Uma umuntu engaligcini iqiniso okufanele alenze, ngeke abe nawo umsebenzi woMoya oNgcwele. Phakathi nenkathi yokucwengwa, yokungazivezi kukaNkulunkulu, uma ungazethembi wethukile, uma ungagxili ekuzweni amazwi Akhe, lokhu kuwukubaleka emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu. Kamuva, uyolahlwa. Labo abangafuni ukungena ezwini likaNkulunkulu ngeke bakwazi ukufakaza Ngaye. Labo abakwaziyo ukufakaza ngoNkulunkulu bafeze intando Yakhe, bonke bathembele emdlandleni wabo sokulwela amazwi kaNkulunkulu. Umsebenzi uNkulunkulu awenza kubantu ikakhulu ukubenza bazuze iqiniso. Ukulwela kwenu ukuphila ngokokuniphelelisa—konke ngokokunenza nikwazi ukusetshenziswa uNkulunkulu. Konke enikulwelayo njengamanje ukuzwa izimfihlakalo, ukulalela amazwi kaNkulunkulu, ukupha amehlo enu, ukubona into entsha noma ukubona okusesitayeleni, nokwanelisa ilukuluku lenu. Uma lena kuyinhloso yenhliziyo yenu, ayikho indlela eningafinyelela ngayo ezimfunweni zikaNkulunkulu. Labo abangalilandeli iqiniso abakwazi ukulandela kuze kube sekugcineni. Okwamanje, akukhona ukuthi uNkulunkulu akenzi lutho—ukuthi abantu ababambisene Naye, ngoba bakhathele umsebenzi Wakhe. Bafuna kuphela ukuzwa amazwi esibusiso Sakhe, futhi abazimisele ukuzwa amazwi esahlulelo nokusola Kwakhe. Siyini isizathu salokhu? Yingoba isifiso sabantu sokuthola izibusiso asikafezeki, futhi banemibono engemihle, babuthakathaka. Akukhona ukuthi uNkulunkulu akafuni ngamabomu ukuthi abantu bamlandele, futhi akukhona ukuthi uwaletha ngamabomu amagalelo kubantu. Abantu banemibono engemihle futhi babuthakathaka ngenxa yokuthi banezinhloso ezingafanele. UNkulunkulu unguNkulunkulu onika umuntu ukuphila, ngeke abulale umuntu. Imibono engemihle yabantu, ubuthakathaka, nokwahlukana konke kubangelwa yibo.
Umsebenzi wamanje kaNkulunkulu ulethela abantu ukucwengwa okuthile, futhi ngabantu kuphela abangakwazi ukuma baqine kulokhu kucwengwa abayozuza ukwamukelwa uNkulunkulu. Noma ngabe uzifihla kangakanani, akakhulumi, noma akasebenzi, usengalwa ngogqozi. Ngisho noma uNkulunkulu ethe uzokwala, usazomlandela. Yilokhu ukuma njengofakazi kaNkulunkulu. Uma uNkulunkulu ezifihla kuwe bese uyeka ukumlandela, ingabe lobu ukusewukuba ufakazi kaNkulunkulu? Uma abantu empeleni bengangeni, abanaso isimo sangempela, futhi lapho behlangana nesilingo esikhulu ngempela, bayakhubeka. UNkulunkulu akakhulumi njengamanje, noma lokho akwenzayo akuhambisani nemibono yenu, ngakho akunihambeli kahle. Uma okwamanje uNkulunkulu ebenza ngokuvumelana nemibono yenu, uma ebenelisa intando yenu futhi benikwazi ukuma nilwe ngomdlandla, beniyobe niphila ngani? Ngithi kunabantu abaningi abaphila ngokuncika ekulangazeleleni kwabantu! abanayo nhlobo inhliziyo yangempela yokulwa. Bonke labo abangafuni ukungena eqinisweni kodwa abancika ekulangazeleleni kwabo empilweni bangabantu abakhohlakele abasengozini! Zonke izinhlobonhlobo zomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ziwukuphelelisa isintu. Nokho, abantu bahlale befuna ukwazi, bayathanda ukubuza ngenzwabethi, bakhathazekile ngokwenzeka emhlabeni—kwenzekani kwa-Israyeli, kube nokuzamazama komhlaba yini eGibhithe—bahlale befuna into entsha, izinto eziyinqaba ezizokwanelisa izifiso zabo zobugovu. Abakulweli ukuphila, futhi abafuni ukupheleliswa. Bafuna kuphela ukuthi usuku lukaNkulunkulu lufike ngokushesha ukuze iphupho labo elihle libonakale nezifiso zabo ezinkulu zifezeke. Lolo hlobo lomuntu alukho ngokoqobo—lunokubuka okungafanele. Ukufuna iqiniso kuyisisekelo sokukholwa kwesintu kuNkulunkulu. Uma abantu bengakulweli ukungena ekuphileni, uma bengafuni ukwanelisa uNkulunkulu, kusho ukuthi bayojeziswa. Labo abayojeziswa yilabo abangakaze babe nomsebenzi woMoya Oyingcwele phakathi nesikhathi sikaNkulunkulu somsebenzi.
Abantu kufanele babambisane kanjani noNkulunkulu phakathi nalesi sigaba somsebenzi Wakhe? UNkulunkulu usavivinya abantu. Akakhiphi lizwi; uyazifihla futhi akathintani ngokuqondile nabantu. Ngeso lomuntu ongaphandle, kubonakala sengathi akasebenzi, kodwa iqiniso liwukuthi usasebenza ngaphakathi kumuntu. noma ubani ofuna ukungena ekuphileni futhi onombono ngokulwela khe ukuphila, akanakho ukungabaza, ngisho noma engawuqondi ngokuphelele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Phakathi kwezilingo, ngisho noma ungazi ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna ukwenzani noma ufuna ukufeza muphi umsebenzi, kufanele wazi ukuthi izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu ngesintu zihlale zizinhle. Uma umfuna ngenhliziyo eneqiniso, akasoze akushiye, futhi ekugcineni nakanjani uyokuphelelisa alethe abantu esiphethweni esifanele. Akunandaba ukuthi okwamanje uNkulunkulu ubavivinya kanjani abantu, kuyoba nosuku lapho ayonika ngalo abantu umphumela ofanele nesijeziso esifanele ngokwalokho abakwenzile. UNkulunkulu ngeke abaholele eqophelweni elithile abantu bese ebalahla engabanaki. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi unguNkulunkulu othembekile. Kulesi sigaba, uMoya oNgcwele wenza umsebenzi wokucwenga. Ucwenga wonke umuntu. Ezinyathelweni zomsebenzi wokuvivinywa ngokufa nokuvivinywa ngokusolwa, ukucwengwa ngaleso sikhathi kwakuwukucwengwa ngamazwi. Ukuze abantu bazi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kumele baqale baqonde umsebenzi awenza manje nendlela abantu okufanele babambisane ngayo. Lena into wonke umuntu okufanele ayiqonde. Akunandaba ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenzani, noma ukucwengwa noma ukuthi akakhulumi, sonke isinyathelo somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu asihambisani nemibono yabantu. Zonke ziyehlukana futhi ziyayihlakaza imibono yabantu. Lona umsebenzi Wakhe. Kodwa kumele ukholwe lapho umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ufika esigabeni esithile, noma kunjani ngeke abulale sonke isintu. Unika isintu izithembiso nezibusiso, futhi bonke abamfunayo bayokwazi ukuzuza izibusiso Zakhe, lapho abangamfuni uNkulunkulu eyobalahla. Lokhu kuncike kwenikufunayo. Kumele nikholwe nakanjani ukuthi lapho umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uphothulwa, wonke umuntu uyoba nesiphetho esihle. UNkulunkulu unikeze abantu izifiso ezinhle, kodwa uma bengazilweli, abakwazi ukuzithola. Manje kufanele nikwazi ukubona lokhu—ukucwenga nokusola kukaNkulunkulu kuwumsebenzi Wakhe, kodwa abantu kumele bafune ukusguquka kwesimo zikhathi zonke. Ezintweni enidlule kuzo, kumele niqale nazi indlela yokudla nokuphuza amazwi kaNkulunkulu bese nithola nalokho okufanele ningene kukho namaphutha enu phakathi kwamazwi Akhe, nifune ukungena kokwenu okungokoqobo. Thatha ingxenye yamazwi kaNkulunkulu obekufanele yenziwe uzame ukuyenza. Ukudla nokuphuza amazwi kaNkulunkulu kuyingxenye eyodwa, ukuphila kwebandla nakho kumele kugcinwe, kumele ube nokuphila okujwayelekile kwempilo yomoya, ukwazi ukunikela zonke izimo zakho zamanje kuNkulunkulu.
