UKRISTU OKHONJIWEYO

WAYOYONKE IMINYAKA

Ngiyabonga, mfowethu. Ningahlala phansi. Impelalokhu ngikuthatha ngokuthi kuyinhlanhla enkulu

kulobubusuku, ukuba lapha eLouisville, eMississippi.Besisibhekile lesisikhathi, sekuyisikhathi impela, futhingicabange ukuthi ngiyofika eLousiville. Ngingaphesheya njekomfula ukusuka eLousiville, eKentucky, ikhaya lami lomdabu.Kubonakala njengofika ekhaya futhi, ukuba seLouisville.

Manje, phezulu lapho, abanye babo bayibiza nge “Luavul,”“Louis–ville,” ne “Lueyville.” Futhi angazi ukuthi lithini lapha.Ngicabanga ukuthi thina, indlela engcono ukwedlula zonke,indlela ebengiyibiza ngayo njalo, bekuyiLousi–ville. Kubukekasengathi i L–o–u–i–s– ibingaba yiLouis–ville. Kodwa, emuvaekhaya yi “Luavul,” ne “Lueyville,” ne “Louis–ville,” ngakhonje sithatha ukuzikhethela kwethu, ukuthi yiliphi esifunaukulisebenzisa.

Into enkulu ingukuthi, ukuthi, siqoqene ndawonye eGamenileNkosi uJesu. Sibuthene lapha kungesikho okwenye inhlosokodwa ukuMkhonza, nokuthi ukuze iGama laKhe elikhululihlonishwe phakathi kwethu, kakhulu. Uma si…Umaumhlangano usuphelile, khona–ke bekunga…Kungenzeka,njengoba bekungenzeka manje. Siyazi ukuthi siyaMhloniphangayo yonke inhliziyo yethu.

Futhi manje ngiza lapha phezu kwesimemo sabefundisibalesi, isigodi konke lapha, nalendawo. Futhi angizi nento ethizeehlukile kubo; iVangeli elifanayo nje. Ngiyakholwa, uJesu wakewasho, ukuthi, “UMbuso weZulu ufana nomuntu othathe i—inetha wayeseya olwandle. Futhi ngenkathi eliphosa phakathi,wadonsa lonke uhlobo.” Manje, yilokho esikuthola enethinileVangeli.

Uma umuntu ephosa inetha olwandle noma echibinielikhulu, kul’khuni ukuba azi ukuthi uzotholani lapho.Ngoba, ubengathola isikhuphashe. Futhi ubengathola inhlanziengumthuthambi. Ubengathola izilwembu, inyoka, na—nanomayini okunye.

Kodwa, ngumsebenzi wethu ukudoba ngenetha. Akusiwoumsebenzi wethu ukwehlulela. Futhi ngiza ukuthatha inethayami, iNkosi enginike yona, bese ngiyifasa nalenetha yabantu,ukuthi, thina, amanetha amabili azokweluleka aye phambidlananje kunoma kuzokwenza inetha eyodwa. Ngakho, ngifaseinetha yami nani bazalwane lapha. Nonke nina bantu

2 IZWI ELIKHULUNYIWE

lapha, eningabalawa amabandla ngapha, ngifase inethayami nani, ukuba iphoswe phandle olwandle lapha, beseidonselwa phakathi bese kubonakala ukuthi ngabe iNkosi inaboyini abanye—abanye phansi phakathi lapha ongakabanjwaokwamanje. Futhi kwangathi iVangeli elikhulu leNkosi yethuuJesu Kristu lingakhonjwa kakhulu phakathi kwethu, kulobuubusuku obuhlanu obulandelayo lapha, ukuthi sizobonabonke labo abangabanjiwe, ngalonyaka, babanjwe e—enethiniyeVangeli, ukuba basetshenziselwe iNkosi.

Manje, thina, lokhu ngeke kwenziwa kodwa, kodwa.Kufanele kwenziwe ngobambiswano nomkhuleko, nathi sonkendawonye, ukuba sihlangane thaqa ndawonye bese sihlanganisaizinhliziyo zethu ndawonye, bese sikhuleka.

Futhi manje sijabulele cishe imvuselelo yeminyakaeyishumi nanhlanu, okungukuthi ngokomlando inde kunanomayiyiphi imvuselelo eseyake yahlala isikhathi esingako,ngokwazi kwami. Ngokwejwayelekile, imvuselelo ihlalacishe iminyaka emithathu, bese–ithola ukuhlakazeka. Kodwangokukholwa ukuthi lena ngenye yezimvuselelo ezinkuluzokugcina izwe eliyoyemukela, futhi ifike ngonyaka wokugcina,unyaka waseLawodikeya, ekupheleni kwesimiselo sesikhathisePentecostal. Futhi ngikholwa ukuthi ibandla manje liphumelaekubeni sivivi kwalo, njengoba iBhayibheli labikezela. Futhisibona nje ukubamba kwengxenye yokugcina, uma sibona izintozenzeka njengoba bekwenzeka ezweni, ezinsukwini ezimbalwaezedlule.

Isibonelo nje. Ukuzamazama okukhulu komhlabaeAlaska. Akukaze kubekhona ukuzamazama komhlabaokunjengalokho, kuwo wonke umhlaba. Niqaphelile na? KufikangoLwesihlanu lukaGudi. Niyazi, isikhathi sokugcina umhlabaowazanyazanyiswa ngaso kwakungoLwesihlanu lukaGudi,futhi, ngenkathi iNkosi yethu ifa, futhi kwazamazamisaumhlaba wonke. Futhi khumbulani, kungahle kubeyisibonakaliso saKhe ebuya. Washo, ukuthi, “Kuyoba khonaukuzamazama komhlaba kuzindawo ngezindawo.” Namhlanjesinokunye eCalifornia, futhi nje kubonakala ndawo zonke,ukuzamazama komhlaba okulula. Siyaqaphela, ngishonesakhiwo sekoMkhulu sigudlukile endaweni yaso, futhisahlehla. Na—nasezansi lapha eBaton Rouge, eLouisiana,kunedamu lokubhukuda lapho, lathi fu likhipha amanzi,kusuka kuthi ngqu kusuka eAlaska. Kwawelela eSwitzerland,eSweden, futhi kwadabula lapho, kwazamazamisa izindlunezinto, umhlaba jikelele.

Ngikholwa ukuthi lokho kuzama ukuvula amehlo ethu,ukubona ihora esiphila kulo. Ngilapha ngokwesaba kokumesabauNkulunkulu, ukuthi, kungahle kube masinya kakhulu kunomasicabanga, okokubonakala kwaKhe.

UKRISTU OKHONJIWEYO WAYO YONKE IMINYAKA 3

Futhi mfowethu nodadewethu, ngisho nakubafo abancane,asibeke bonke ubuqotho esingabubeka. Lena kungahle kubeyimvuselelo yokugcina esiyoke siyethamele, futhi singahlesingayiqedi lena, kuze kube ngukuFika kwaKhe. Ngibheke Yenanamhlanje. Uma Engekho lapha namhlanje, ngiyobe ngiMbhekekusasa, uma ngilapha. Futhi kade ngiMbhekile manje,selokhu ngezwa ngaYe ebuya, futhi lokho sekube yiminyakaengamashumi amathathu–nantathu eyedlula ngenkathinginikela inhliziyo yami kuYe. Kade ngisemva kwepulpiti,iminyaka engamashumi amathathu–nantathu, ngizama futhingimemezela ingcebo yaKhe engaphenyekiyo yenkazimuloyaKhe. Futhi ngithemba ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzoZenzaaziwe kakhulu phakathi kwethu, ukuthi wonke ongakholwayouzosindiswa, nabobonke abagulayo bazophiliswa, nabangcwelebeNkosi, abantwana baKhe abakholwayo, bazophakanyiselwae—eMoyeni.

Imvuselelo ayisho khona ukuthola amalunga amasha.Ivuselela lokho esesivele sinakho. Niyabo? Iyavuselela.

Ngama, ngesinye isikhathi esedlule, futhi ngibukelaamagagasi eLake Michigan, ngibona, ngimi phandle lapho,emva kwemvuselelo enkulu eChicago. Ngibone a—amagagasi,ukuthi ayengena kanjani, ngebuya elikhulu nje, nje lishwibekalingena liphuma. Ngacabanga, niyazi, kungikhumbuzangeculo, “Izikhukhula zenjabulo phezu komphefumulo wami,njengokugingqika kwamadlambi olwandle.” Nalawomagagasiaqala ndawondawo, phandle echibini elikhulu nomaolwandlekazi. Futhi lapho eza, akha umfutho, ngaso sonkeisikhathi. Bese–ke, ekugcineni, agadla ogwini; ukuba njeaphume, ukuba abuye angene.

Futhi yileyondlela amagagasi enkazimulo kaNkulunkuluelenza ngayo. Liyangena, nje njengoku—nje njengokugingqika,kuphindaphinda, emuva nemuva, futhi emuva naphambili,amagagasi enjabulo kaNkulunkulu ligingqika ngemiphefumuloyethu.

Ngiyamangala, “Kwakuyini umsebenzi walokho na? Yiniumsebenzi wokuqunga kwamanzi ehla enyuka na?” Imveloinendlela yokuzinakekela.

Njengabantu nje, manje, uma nisebandleni lenu nabelusibenu, uma ninesifundo sikaSonto sikole noma—noma intoethize esebandleni lenu. Mhlawumbe akukho kuxhuxhumaokwenzekayo, noma—noma lutho olungejwayelekile. Kodwa,nokho, ukhona impela nje uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yakhonjengoba ekhona umaugxumaphansi–phezulu nomaumemeza.

Ngacabanga, “Akwenzelani na?” Isizathu esifanayouNkulunkulu anaso, imvuselelo, yisizathu esifanayo Asibekelaimvuselelo olwandlekazi, ubeka imvuselelo kwichibikazi.Namanzi, equngeka ehla enyuka, akhipha yonke imfucumfucu


emanzini, ayiphosele onqenqemeni. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthileyo yinto enhle, ukuthi sinezimvuselelo, nokuthi sikutholakonke ukukholelwa ezeni kusuke kithi, nalolonke i—i—izweliphume, liqungeke liphume, bese eyikhiphela onqenqemeni,ukuze amanzi amaningi akhululeke kokunjalo.

Manje, kulobubusuku, kuthi ukuba yi…Okokuqala ukubangize ngibe lapha, futhi nokho angizizwa nginjengesihambiphakathi kwenu. A—angisiso. Ngingumfowenu. Futhi mina—futhi mina, kusobala, ubusha bokwazana nje…Cishe, abanyebenu, ngiyazi angikaze ngibabone. Mhlampe anikaze ningibone.Futhi njalo kunalokho kuzwa okuqinile okuncane ovele nje…Kul’khuni. Futhi nje si…Kungaleyondlela nje, manje, ndawozonke. Ngenza, ngiqala ohambweni lwami lwesishiyagalombiliukujikeleza umhlaba. Futhi ngi—ngi—ngiyakuthola, ndawozonke, akunandaba ukuthi ukuphi.

Kodwa uma uthola abantu abangamaKristu, lapho uMoyaoNgcwele ukhona, akunandaba ukuthi sizwe sini, ukuthikukude kangakanani emenweni, noma kumbe kuyini, benza intoefanayo oyenzayo uma wemukela uMoya oNgcwele. Benza njeinto efanayo. Banenkululeko efanayo abayenzayo. Bakholwangendlela efanayo futhi baziphatha ngendlela efanayo nanomayimuphi umKristu enza ngayo uma emukela uKristu.

Kodwa, phakathi lapho, uthola lokho kuqina. Futhi,ngiyacabanga, ubusuku bokuqala yisikhathi esihle ukuthi njeukuthola ukwazana. Bese kuthi–ke, manje, manje–ke, laphoumhlangano uqhubeka futhi uqhubekela phambili, khona–kesizokwazana kakhulu omunye nomunye kunalokho esiyikhomanje. Kodwa, masinya kakhulu siyaphuma kukho, ngani,kangcono sizobanjalo.

UMoya oNgcwele uyakhophozela, ukhophozela kakhulu,kakhulu. Futhi—futhi lapho nje ninongakholwayo oyedwanoma umnqikazi ehlezi khona lapha, uMoya oNgcweleungeke nje wasebenza, kul’khuni. Khumbulani, uJesu waholaindoda yayothi ngqu ngaphandle komuzi, ukuba ayiphilise,ngesinye isikhathi, uyisusa ekungakholweni. Uza emziniwaKhe uQobo, neBhayibheli lathi, “Nemisebenzi eminingiyamandla Wayengenakuyenza.” Asifuni ukukucabangangaleyondlela, kodwa iBhayibheli lathi Wayengenakuyenza.Niyabo? Akanakwenza lutho ngokumelana nenkolelo yakho.Ufanele ukukholwe.

Omunye ungitshelile, izikhathi eziningi, ethi, “MfowethuBranham, angikhathali ukuthi kungenzekani; angiLikholwa.”Awu, Lalingayi kulowomuntu.

Alisilo elabangakholwayo. Lingelamakholwa kuphela,labo abakholwayo. “Konke kuyenzeka kulabo abakholwayo.”Abangakholwa abatholi lutho. Futhi ngakho a—abakholwalutho nje, ngakho abatholi lutho. Uma nje bethole isayense


yezenkolo ebandayo, yilokho abakutholayo. Kodwa laboabakholwa kuNkulunkulu, futhi bakholwe ukuthi uJesu Kristuunguye nje impela namhlanje njengoba Wayelokhu enjalo njalo,yilokho abakwemukelayo. “Ngokukholwa kwakho nje, makubekuwe.”

Futhi manje–ke phakathi lapha, bengicabanga ukuthingizonikeza, kulobubusuku, esizama ukukwenza.

Manje, ngiyazicabangela, ngokuthi lokhu kuxhaswengamaPentecostal, ukuthi iningi phakathi lapha ngabantubamaPentecostal. Futhi yilapho engiphose khona unkatholwami, nakuba ngingazange ngijoyine bandla lamaPentecostal,futhi kungekho bandla elithize. Anginahlelo, ihlelo elithize.Futhi, ngokukhuluma obala, anginkabunkabu kangako ngalo.Bangaba nalokho abafuna ukukwenza. Kodwa nidweba imigqa,niyabo, futhi uNkulunkulu—uNkulunkulu akayithandi imigqaeyakhiwe ebandleni laKhe.

Kungikhumbuza ngomfo, ngesinye isikhathi, wayenamanyeamadada, futhi wa—wanquma amaphiko awo ukuze angakwaziukundiza aphume esibayaneni. Wayenamanye amadadakwelinye icala, namadada ngakwelinye. Amanzi aqalaukungena. Into yokuqala niyazi, amanzi aya ngokuphakamangokuphakama, namadada ayesehlangana ngaleyonkathi.Niyabo? Yilokho esidinga ukukwenza. Amanzi amaningiawakhuphuke, bese kuthi–ke amadada ahlangane, niyabo,ngaleyonkathi. Futhi sonke sisemanzini afanayo. Ngakho,imigoqo yobuhlelo ingantantiswa iphume, uma nje sizodedelaamanzi amaningi athole ukujula ngokwenele.

Njengendoda yayinensimu yommbila. Umfo wayelokhuethi…Wayenensimu eyodwa, izitshalo ezisuka ngapha; ezinyengapha. Futhi ngakho umfo endiza ngaphezulu, njalo ekuseni,wayebuka leyonsimu yommbila. Wathi, “Leyo ayisiyo yiniinsimu enhle yommbila lapha, nenye lapho!” Emva kokubaummbila usuthe ukuphakama kakhudlwana, wafinyelela yonkeindlela ukuwelela othangweni, kwakubukeka njengensimueyodwa. Ngakho ngiyethemba kuthola ngaleyondlela lapha,ukuthi singeyodwa enkulu, insimu yommbila enkulu esukaenhliziyweni iye enhliziyweni yoMbuso kaNkulunkulu.

Manje, inhloso yethu.

Manje, izikhathi eziningi, abantu bathi, “UMfowethuBranham, umphilisi ngokukaNkulunkulu.” Qhabo. Yiphuthalelo. Munye kuphela umphilisi; lowo nguNkulunkulu.Akukho–muthi ongumphilisi, akukho–dokotela ongumphilisi.Akukho–dokotela okahle ozisho ukuthi ungumphilisi. Futhiuma ekwenza, khona–ke u—u—unitshela into eliphutha.

Ngaxoxisana neZelamani zakwaMayo, futhi zathi, “Asizishoukuthi siphilisa abagulayo, Mnu. Branham. Kuphela sizisho


ukuthi silekelela imvelo. Munye kuphela umphilisi; lowonguNkulunkulu.” Futhi lokho kuphuse kanjani pho!

Ubungephuka ingalo; udokotela ubengayihlela. Kodwaubengeke ayiphilise, ngoba akanalutho lokuphilisa.Bekuzofanele kwakhe inyama. Udokotela angahle akhipheizinyo noma anqume akhiphe ithunjana iapendiksi, kodwaubani ozophilisa na? Niyabo, iBhayibheli alinaphutha.IBhayibheli liqinisile kulolonke iZwi. “NgiyiNkosi Ephilisazonke izifo zenu.” Zonke! Akekho omunye! Akukho–qiniso.Abakatholi–lutho namanje olungakha inyama. Bathola imithiabangabulala ngophoyizeni igciwane, inyama ize—ize ihlumelelendawonye. Kodwa, kuthatha uNkulunkulu, ukuphilisa.UNkulunkulu nguyena kuphela umphilisi okhona.

Ngakho, iBhayibheli liqinise ngokuphelele. Futhi yilokhoesimi kukho: iBhayibheli. Kufanele kube ngu ISHO KANJEINKOSI.Manje, siyakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu angenza izintoengalotshiwe eZwini laKhe, ngoba UnguNkulunkulu. WenzaAkufisayo. Kodwa, nokho, ngiyathanda ukubona noma yini,uma sekufika emgqeni wemfundiso, iphuma eBhayibhelini.Ngoba, ngikholwa ukuthi iBhayibheli liyisambulo esigewelesikaJesu Kristu. IBhayibheli lathi Liyilokho. YisambulosikaJesu Kristu. Futhi akukho lutho olufanele lwenezelwekuLo, kumbe noma yini esuswa kuLo. Ngakho, ngithandaukuhlala ngqo kulokho Elikushoyo nalokho Elikuthembisayo.Uma nje Ezokwenza lokho Akwethembisa, yilokho kuphelaengikhathalele ukukubona, empeleni. Khona–ke ngiyazingiyoMbona.

Manje, kulokhu asizami ukuba sithi ukuphilisangokukaNkulunkulu yikhona okukhulu, ngoba ukuphilisangokukaNkulunkulu kuncane. Futhi ubungeke nezeuthathe okukhulu ngokuncane. Kodwa cishe amaphesenteangamashumi ayisishiyagalombili–nesithupha, ngicabangaukuthi kulinganiselwa ekutheni, enkonzweni kaJesu,kwakusekuphiliseni ngokukaNkulunkulu. U…

Njengoba uDr. Bosworth wayevamise ukuba athi,okwami…Omunye wababambisene nami osanda kuyaeNkazimulweni nje, iminyaka embalwa edlule, cishe…ngokubacishe eneminyaka engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili–naneubudala. Wathi, “Ukuphilisa ngokukaNkulunkulu kuyisicuphoesisehhukwini lenhlanzi. Futhi awuyikhombisi neze inhlanziihhuku. Uyikhombisa isicupho, ngakho ithatha isicupho beseithola ihhuku.” Ngakho, lokho, kuyilokho–ke. Sifuna ukubambaizinhlanzi senzele inkazimulo yeNkosi; sizibambe sizikhipheezweni, bese siziletha eMbusweni kaNkulunkulu.

Futhi ngakho, ukuphilisa ngokukaNkulunkulu, into enkulungukuphilisa ngokukaNkulunkulu komphefumulo. UmzimbakaKristu, udinga ukuphiliswa kabi ukwedlula noma yini


engaziyo ngayo, nguMzimba kaKristu. Wephulwe kakhuluyisayense yezenkolo yomuntu nemehluko yobuhlelo, usuzewaba nguMzimba ogulayo. Futhi ngi…Futhi ngiyanitshela,u—udinga ukuphiliswa, ukuphiliswa okukhulu. Ngakhongi—ngithemba ukuthi iNkosi izokwenza into enkulungasekuphilisweni kwengxenye yaYo yoMzimba ophakathilapha.

Sikholwa ukuthi linye, iBandla linye. Futhi asiLijoyini neze.NgoMsombuluko ozayo, ngizobe ngineminyaka engamashumiamahlanu–nanhlanu ubudala, nomndeni kaBranham awuzangeungicele ukuba ngijoyine umndeni wawo. NgazalwanginguBranham.Ngiyiwo kanjalo—ngiyiwo kanjalo–ke.

Manje, singamaKristu kanjalo–ke. Sizalwa singumKristu.Futhi awujoyini kukho. Uzalwa kukho. Bese–ke uthatha isimilosikaKristu.

Manje, siyathola futhi ukuthi, kulokhu, abantu abaningilapha eMelika, ikakhulu, ofundisiwe. Sinenqubo, noma,i—iNkosi yakuyala, ngakho kuhle, kokubeka izandlaphezu kwabagulayo nokubakhulekela. Lokho kwabangukuthunywa kokugcina ebandleni. Lokho kuhle kakhulu.Futhi bekuqhutshwa, kusukela phansi eminyakeni. Njalouma kuqhuma imvuselelo kunoma yimuphi unyaka,kwakunokuphilisa ngokukaNkulunkulu kunayo, nokungaphezukwemvelo kukaNkulunkulu.

Futhi manje siyathola, kulonyaka, nokuzama kwami,engizama ukukuzuza ngempumelelo, yilokhu. Kubenokuningikakhulu ngalolusuku lokugcina, kwabantu beshumayelaukuphilisa ngokukaNkulunkulu, ofake okuningi kakhuluukuzikhazimulisa kukho, ukuthi kunikeza ukunambithekaokubi phambi komphakathi. Bekungukuthi, “AyibusisweiNkosi! UMfowethu uS’bani–bani ubeke izandla phezu kwami,futhi, ayidunyiswe iNkosi, ngiphilisiwe.” Manje, uma njebengingakweqa lokho!

Uma umuntu ubengathi, “INkosi uJesu ingenze ngasinda,”bekungangcono kakhulu kanjani lokho, niyabo. Ngakho,ngenkonzo encane iNkosi engiphe yona, ngukuzama ukuYilethaebukhoneni benu, ukuthi beningabeka izandla zenu phezukwaYo, uMhlatshelo wenu, futhi niphiliswe. Akusikho kakhulukangako ukubekwa izandla. Okungukuthi, siyakwenza,sonke siyakwenza. Siyakhuleka futhi sibeke izandla phezukwabagulayo.

Asibaphilisi abantu. Sebevele baphilisiwe. Wonke umuntuusevele uphilisiwe. Bangaki okukholwayo lokho na? [Ibandlalithi, “Amen.”—Umhl.] Manje ake sibone ukuthi ibandlalethu lifundiswe kanjani. Kunokuthathu kwabo okukholwayo,empeleni. Manje, ukuthi, “Yalinyazwa ngesiphambekosethu; ngemivimbo yaYo siphilisiwe thina.” Yonke ingxenye


engehlukaniseki ayifelayo, eKalvari, ingeyethu kusukelakulesosikhathi kuqhubeke, yonke into Ayifelayo. “Yalinyazwangeziphambeko zethu; yachotshozwa ngobubi bethu; isijezisosokuthula kwethu siphezu kwaYo; nangemivimbo yaYosiphilisiwe thina.” Siphilisiwe thina, inkathi edlule.

Sonke isoni sisindisiwe. Kusukela ngosuku uJesu afa ngaloesiphambanweni,Wathethelela sonke isono somuntu.

Manje, uNkulunkulu ungomkhulu—omkhulu…njengesiDalwa esikhulu. “Ekuqaleni uNkulunkulu…”Niyabo?Si…Wayengesuye ngisho uNkulunkulu, kwasekuqaleni.UNkulunkulu “yinto ekhonzwayo.” Futhi Wayebizwa ngo…Kwakungekho lutho, lokukhonza. WayenguElohim okhonangokwamandla akhe, futhi kwakungekho lutho lokuMkhonza.Ngenkathi Edala iziNgelosi, khona–ke kwabakhona intoyokuMkhonza.

Kodwa kuloNkulunkulu omkhulu, uElohim,kwakuyizingxenye ezingehlukaniseki. Kwakuyizingxenyeezingehlukaniseki phakathi lapho ukuba nguNkulunkulu;izingxenye ezingehlukaniseki ukuba nguBaba; izingxenyeezingehlukaniseki ukuba yiNdodana; izingxenyeezingehlukaniseki ukuba nguMsindisi; izingxenyeezingehlukaniseki ukuba ngumphilisi. Zonke lezizingxenyeezingehlukaniseki kwakukuNkulunkulu. Futhi uma uke wabanokuPhila okuPhakade, wawusezingxenyeni zikaNkulunkuluezingehlukaniseki, ngoba unokuPhila okuPhakade. UJesuwafika njengoMhlengi. Futhi ukuhlenga kusho “ukukubuyiselaemuva lapho okwaqala khona.” Kunjalo. NanisekucabangenikukaNkulunkulu. Angahle ukuba wadingeka ukuba azalaniselokhu nalokho, naphansi lapha naphansi lapha.

Njengomuntu enza izinsimbi ezinqenqethayo zesonto; afakeithusi elingaka nensimbi engaka, bese nje eyithola nje ikhalekahle. Umbumbi uyazi ukuthi kufakwa kanjani. Uma engazi,akakutholi ukukhala kahle.

Futhi uNkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi nje impela wenaungowakuphi, nokuthi yimuphi unyaka ongowakuwo. Futhi,ngakho–ke, uma unokuPhila okuPhakade; igama elithi Phakadeli “yinto engazange iqale, noma engeke neze yaphela.” Ngakho,noma ngabe wawungubani, uyabo, wawukhona, wawulokhuukhona njalo. Wawuyingxenye engehlukaniseki kaNkulunkului—ivezwa obala, i—iZwi. “Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi.”

Nezwi lingumcabango owenziwe wabonakala.Uyakucabanga, bese uyakukhuluma. Njengoba ngingathi,“Ukukhanya.” Ngidingeke ngicabange “ukukhanya”ngaphambi kokuba ngithi “ukukhanya.” “Imayikrofoni,”ngifanele ngithi…ngicabange “imayikrofoni,” ukuba ngithi“imayikrofoni.”


Futhi siyizingxenye ezingehlukaniseki zikaNkulunkuluzivezwe obala.

Futhi ngiyathola, ngithola izigaba ezimbili zabantulapho kuqhubeka. Esinye sazo ngabaqavile, nesinyengamaPentecostal. Manje, amaPentecostal anento ethize, kodwaawazi ukuthi angobani. Nabaqavile kukhona abakwaziyo,kodwa abanalutho ngakho. Ngakho manje, lapho, kufananomuntu nje onemali ebhange, futhi engakwazi ukubhalaisheke. Omunye uyakwazi ukubhala isheke; akanamali ebhange.Uma ubungake uze uhlanganise leyonto ndawonye, ibiyoba—ibiyoba yinto enkulu.

Kodwa, manje, ebusweni balokhu, indlela esizamaukuqhuba ngayo umhlangano, ingeyakho, wena njengomuntungamunye, ngesidingo sakho kuKristu. Insindiso, ukuphilisangokukaNkulunkulu, kumbe noma ngabe udingani, ngukuthi,ngokukholwa, wazi ukuthi useBukhoneni bukaKristu,nangokukholwa welula isandla bese uyakuthola. Ngokuba,yiyonandlela kuphela oyoke uze ukuthole ngayo. Ngu…Sisindiswa ngokukholwa. Siphiliswa ngokukholwa. Niyabo?Akukho lutho uNkulunkulu angalwehlela abuye alwenze futhi;Usevele ulwenzile.

Ngakho, niyabo, yonke into i—ikhona, uNkulunkulu ebangophathekayo. Lokho, ngoSuku olukhulu oluzayo, ngenkathiuKristu ehlala phezu kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaDavide futhiabuse isikhathi seminyaka eyiNkulungwane, nguNkulunkulu,ephatheka, emhlabeni.

Ukini manje. Niyizingxenye ezingehlukaniseki zaKhe.Uma unokuPhila okuPhakade, impilo yakho yayilokhuikhona. Futhi wena wawungukucabanga kukaNkulunkulu:umbala wezinwele, noma ngabe uyini, wawungukucabangakukaNkulunkulu, futhi nje uyaphatheka.

Futhi yilokho uNkulunkulu ayeyikho ngenkathi Ebangophathekayo kuKristu; uNkulunkulu, evezwa obala,wabonakaliswa enyameni, kuKristu. Waba ngophathekayo;uNkulunkulu esasesingamthinta. UTimothewu wokuQala3:16, “Kuvunyiwe, inkulu imfihlakalo yokukhonza: ngokubauNkulunkulu wabonakaliswa enyameni.” Niyabo? Niyabo?KwakunguNkulunkulu ebonakaliswa, elungiselela.

Manje, silapha, kulesisimo, sisalokhu siyisithunzisesithombe sangempela. Njengokuthatha isithombe sentoethize, futhi usishuthe. UNkulunkulu uthi, “Uyoba nezinweleezimnyama, amehlo al’hlaza, kanjalonjalo. Uyoba yilokhu,lokho, noma okunye.” Isithombe siyashuthwa, ebudalenibeminyaka engamashumi amabili ubudala, amashumi amabilinambili.

Bese kungena ukufa, uqala ukufa wehla. Akunandabaukuthi udla kangakanani, ukuthi ukufaka kahle kanjani ukudla


kubuyele emzimbeni wakho, ukwenza izinhlayiya zegazi, uyafa.Futhi akukho–sosayense emhlabeni ongakuchaza.

Uthulule amanzi kujeke, uwathele eglasini, igcwala uhhafu;bese ulokhu uthela nje, ayehla. Uthini ngalokho na?

Ukudla okudlayo kwenza izinhlayiya zegazi. Izinhlayiyazegazi yakha umzimba wakho. Njalo uma udla, uhlumelelisaimpilo yakho. Ngenkathi usenonyaka owodwa ubudala,kuqhubeke kuye phezulu, kwenyuke njalo uze ufike cisheemashumini amabili–nambili. Bese kuthi–ke, manje, udlaukudla okufanayo. Ngidla ukudla okufanayo nengakudlangineshumi nesithupha. Eshumini nesithupha, njalo umangidla, kwakwakha izicubu zibe nkulu futhi ziqine. Ngatholaukukhula kwami ngokugcwele. Kwase kuthi–ke emva kokukhulangokugcwele, Ngidle ukudla okufanayo, nokungcono, nokuningikwakho, futhi ngiguga kakhulu nokuba buthakathaka kakhulu,ngaso sonke isikhathi. Kodwa njalo uma ngihlumelelisaukuphila kwami, khona–ke bengingeke ngidingeke ukuba ngife.Niyabo?

Kodwa uNkulunkulu unqume usuku, nomuntu ufanele afebese ebhekana nokwaHlulelwa. Futhi nizolugcina lolosukuolunqunyiweyo, bangani. Kukhumbuleni nje lokho. Futhisiselapha, kulobubusuku, sifuna ukuzikhumbula lezozinto,ukuthi sizofanele sihlangane nalolosuku olunqunyiwe.Kungahle kube nabaningi enizosukuma bese nisuka kukho,kodwa lokho yikho esiqiniseke ngakho, sonke, ukuhlangananakho. Futhi manje, kulokho, wusuku olunqunyiweuNkulunkulu alwenze nomuntu. Lomzimba ufanele, ngobauseyisithunzi sesithombe sangempela. Usengaphansi kokufa.

Ngakho, Uthola ukuPhila okuPhakade, izingxenyeezingehlukaniseki zaKhe zavela obala kulowomzimba,ngaleyonkathi, njenganoma yisiphi isithombe esimweni sasosesithunzi sesithombe sangempela, siya endlini emnyama. Laphosiyagqamiswa. Siphuma siba yisithombe esiphelele. Nathisiya endlini emnyama, kodwa ukuba siphume emva kokubaisithunzi sesithombe sangempela sesibe yisithombe esiphelele,emfanekisweni kaKristu. Singena ethuneni elimnyama,ekamelweni elimnyama ukuba sigqamiswe. Kuthatha ukufaukusigqamisa.

Njengoba nje kuthatha ukufa, kuwe uqobo, ukugqamisaisithombe somfanekiso kaKristu, ukuphila kukaKristu kuwe.Ufanele uchithe okwakho uqobo ukukhiphe, ukuze uKristuakwazi ukungena. Uzofanele ufe kuwe uqobo.

Bufa kanjalo–ke nobuwena bomzimba wakho, ukubabakhiwe futhi bubunjelwe emfanekisweni waKhe. Kodwaisekhona leyongxenye engehlukaniseki engeke yabhujiswa.Ingeke neze yabhujiswa. InguNkulunkulu, ekuqaleni.InguNkulunkulu phezu kwethu, uNkulunkulu enathi,


uNkulunkulu kithi. Futhi konke yizingxenye ezingehlukanisekizikaNkulunkulu: ukuPhila okuPhakade emadodaneni abantu.

Manje asikhuleke.Baba waseZulwini othandekayo, siyakhuleka kulobubusuku

ukuthi Uzosibusisa futhi uthole inkazimulo ekubuthanenikwethu ndawonye. Sinikela lendlu nezinkundla, sizibeka thinaphezu kwayo futhi siyinika Wena, njengomnikelo, Nkosi,ekuhlonipheni iGama laKho. Siphe khona, Nkosi. Busisayonke into esiyenzayo. Kwangathi ingaba ngeyokuhloniphauJesu Kristu, nokuMlethela ubumpela obuphilayo phakathikwabantu.2 Futhi uma izinkonzo isiphelile, bese sisuka kulemihlanganobese siya emakhaya ethu, kwangathi singasho njengalaboabathi eshumini nesishiyagalolunye–…eminyakeni eyadlula,leliPhasika lokugcina, ngenkathi bevela e Emawuse, ngenkathiEbonakala phakathi kwabo futhi wenza into efanayo naYenzayophambi kokubethelwa kwaKhe. WayeyiNkosi evukileyo, ngobaWayesalokhu Ezenza aziwe ezintweni ezifanayo naZenzayophambi kokubethelwa kwaKhe, namehlo abo avuleka basebeMqonda. Nkulunkulu, kwangathi singasho kulobubusuku,emva kweminyaka engamakhulu ayishumi nesishiyagalolunye,uma sesisendleleni yethu ebuyela ekhaya, kulobubusuku,kwangathi singathi, “Izinhliziyo zethu bezingavuthi yiniphakathi kwethu lapho Ekhuluma kithi endleleni na?”Kwangathi Angazikhomba Yena uqobo kulobubusuku, phakathikwethu, iNkosi, njengeNkosi evukileyo, esilungele ukubuyelaiBandla laYo. Sikucela eGameni likaJesu. Amen.3 Ubusuku ngabunye, ukuze kugcinwe into ngokuhlelekile,sizela ukukhulekelwa; uMfowethu Borders, noma—nomaindodana yami, uBilly Paul, omunye wabo, uzoba lapha njalokusihlwa, cishe—cishe ihora ngaphambi kokuba izinkonzoziqale. Futhi behlisa amakhadi amancane anezinombolo kuwo.Lomfana uzothatha lamakhadi bese ewaxubanisa, phakathingqo, phambi kwenu. Niyabo? Ngakho, lokho, bese kuthi–keunikwe ikhadi, noma ngabe yiliphi olifunayo. Uma ngehlaebusuku, usuku ngalunye…Lokho kunikeza ofikayo, usukunosuku, i—ithuba ukuthola ikhadi lomkhuleko.4 Bese–ke ubusuku ngabunye, ababaningi kakhulu abazobasemsamo ngasikhathi sinye, kodwa ngizokwenyusa abaningikakhulu ukuba bakhulekelwe. Bangahle beze, baqalekwelokuqala lapho, ngelesine, kukhombisa ukuthi umfanaokhipha amakhadi angekugarantele noma yini, noma athengiseikhadi lomkhuleko kuwe, elizokukhombisa ukuthi uzongenaemgqeni womkhuleko. Unethuba elifanayo, ngoba amakhadiaxutshanisiwe, phambi kwezithameli.5 Enye into ingukuthi, ukuze ngikwazi ukuqala kunomayiyiphi indawo. Ngingahle ngiqale emashumini amahlanu,


ukuba ngihlehle ngisuka kwelamashumi amathathu, ukubangiye phambili, noma ngisuke…Bese–ke ngezinye izikhathingibala ukuthi bangaki okulomugqa, bese ngikwehlukanisangalomugqa, nakanjalo kanjalo, ukuthola inombolo. Futhingezinye izikhathi ngithathe umfanyana, bese ngehlulelangobudala bakhe, noma omunye wesilisa noma owesifazane,noma into efana naleyo, niyazi, kumbe nje noma yini efikaengqondweni yami. Ngakho–ke, akekho owaziyo ukuthi umugqawomkhuleko uqala kuphi, nalokho kunikeza wonke umuntuithuba. Manje–ke, ekugcineni, kanyekanye, sikhulekela wonkeumuntu ophethe ikhadi. Ngakho si…Bamba ikhadi lakho nje.6 Manje izikhathi eziningi, emihlanganweni, ukuthi abantuabafiki ngisho nasemsamo. Uma noma ubani elapha, okewaba semhlanganweni ngaphambili; kuba nabayishumi phandlelapho abaphiliswayo uma oyedwa ephiliswa emsamo.7 Kuthatha ukukholwa. Akunandaba ukuthi kukuphi,ufanele uhlangabezane nalokho kukholwa. Yilokho kuphela.Nokukholwa akusiyo nje i—insumansumane, into njeoyicabangelayo. Kuyinto oyaziyo. Kunjalo.8 Futhi manje ngizonicela, manje, njengoba siphenya manjeokokufundwa komBhalo, kulobubusuku. Sizofunda eNcwadinie—eNcwadini yamaHeberu, kulobubusuku, futhi manje umasima ukuba sifunde iZwi. Siyama uma senza isithembisosokuthobela iflege, futhi si—siyama ekuhlonishweni kwazozonke zeziphandla zesizwe sakithi, kanjalonjalo, ngakho asimesisafunda iZwi likaNkulunkulu. Nizoma na? AmaHeberu,isahluko 13, ivesi 1 kuye kwele 8.

Malume njalo uthando lobuzalwane.Ninga…ukungenisa izihambi: ngokuba ngalokho

abanye bangenisa izingelosi bengazi.Bakhumbuleni ababoshiweyo, kungathi

ningababoshiwe kanye nabo; nabaphethwe kabi,njengalokhu nawe nisemzimbeni.Ukuganana makuhlonishwe yibo bonke, nombhede

ungabi–nasisihla: ngokuba izifebe neziphingiuNkulunkulu uyakuzahlulela.Ukwenza kwenu makungabi–ngokokufisa imali;

yeneliswani ngeninakho: ngokuba yena ushilo wathi,Angisoze ngakuyeka, angisoze ngakushiya.Ukuze sisho ngesibindi sithi, INkosi ingumsizi

wami,…angiyikwesaba umuntu angangenzani na.Bakhumbuleni ababenihola, bekhuluma izwi

likaNkulunkulu kini: niqonda ukuphela kokuhambakwabo, nilingisa ukukholwa kwabo.UJesu Kristu nguyena izolo,…namuhla, naphakade.


9 Asikhothamise amakhanda ethu. Nkosi Jesu, yenza lokhukube yikho ngempela kithi, kulobubusuku. Kungesikho njeukufundwa kweZwi, kodwa kwangathi iZwi lingaba yinyamaphakathi kwethu.Ngokuba sikucela eGameni likaJesu. Amen.

Ningahlala phansi.10 Njengoba sikhuluma imizuzwana embalwa nje,futhi ubusuku ngabunye sizozama ukuphuma ligamenxeelesishiyagalolunye, uma—uma kunokwenzeka. Ngifunaukubonga abaxhasi bami, futhi, nabantu abasivumela sibenendawo lapha, izinkundla, umbukiso wezimpahla, kumbenoma ngabe kuyini. Sibonga kakhulu. Manje, manje niyiqembuelikahle nje ukuxoxa nalo, futhi nje ngingaxoxa isikhathieside, kodwa angifuni ukunikhandla. Ubusuku ngabunye, cisheimizuzu engamashumi amathathu; kulobubusuku izokwelulekakakhudlwana ngenxa yokuba ngubusuku bokuqala.11 Ngifuna ukukhuluma ngodaba kulobubusuku lokuthi:UKristu Okhonjiweyo Wayo Yonke Iminyaka. Ngoba,iBhayibheli lathi, “Nguyena izolo, namuhla, naphakade,”nenkomba kaKristu kuyo yonke iminyaka.12 Manje niqaphelile yini lapha, umBhalo usho lapha,ukuthi, “Bakhumbuleni labo ababenihola; niqonda ukuhambakwabo, niyabo. Ekupheleni kokuhamba kwabo nguJesu Kristuonguyena izolo, namuhla, naphakade.”13 Abantu abaningi kakhulu banemibono ehlukene ngoKristu.Njengoba ngihamba e—ezingxenyeni ezehlukene zezwe,nasemhlabeni jikelele, ngithola ukuthi abantu abaningikakhulu banemibono yabo ehlukene. Ningamangala ukwaziukuthi eminye yemibono yabo iyini. Abanye babo ucabangaukuthi Ungumfundisi oyisimangaliso nje. Awu, manje,Waye—Wayeyilokho. Lokho kunjalo impela nje. Nabanyeucabanga ukuthi Wayeyisazi esikhulu sokudabuka kwezinto.Okungukuthi, Wayeyilokho. Yena, impela, Wayeyiso. Besekuthi–ke abanye babo bacabanga ukuthi Wayengu—ngumuntu olungileyo. Yena, Wayeyilokho. Kodwa, niyabo,Wayedlula lokho. Wayeyikho konke okwalokho, kuhlanganiswenokunye. Abanye babo bacabanga ukuthi Wayengumprofethi.Wayengumprofethi, kodwa Wayedlula umprofethi. Wayeyilokhoabaprofethi ayeyikho, kuhlanganiswe nokunye. Niyabo?Ngakho, ini, singazi kanjani manje na? Uma Wayefundisangezifundiso zaKhe, Wayengumfundisi futhi Wayeyisaziesikhulu sokudabuka kwezinto.14 Kodwa i—indlela kuphela esiyohlala sazi ngayo, namhlanje,uma besifuna ukuMkhomba, namhlanje, futhi, ngikholwaukuthiWavuka kwabafileyo. Ngiyakukholwa lokho ngayo yonkeinhliziyo yami. Futhi ngikholwa ukuthi Uthembisile lapha,ukuthi, “Nguyena izolo, namuhla, naphakade.” “Futhi Minanginani njalo, futhi Angisoze nganiyeka angisoze nganishiya.”


15 Manje, lawomaZwi a, aphakathi kokuthi ayiqiniso nomaawasilo iqiniso. Futhi uma Engesilo iqiniso, pho senzanilapha kulobubusuku na? Si—singabantu abalusizi, singabantuo—o, awu, sidukisiwe; lonke izwe lamaKristu lidukisiweuma Engesuye izolo, namuhla, naphakade, uma Engaphilikulobubusuku futhi enathi njengoba Ethembisa. “Bhekani,Mina nginani njalo, kuze kube sekupheleliseni, noma ekuphelenikwezwe. Nginani njalo.” Manje, uma lelo kungesilo iQiniso,khona–ke kukhona okungalungile, futhi si—sitholakalasingofakazi bamanga. Akusikho kuphela ukuthi sizenza sibengabanokuhawukelwa, ngokukhohlisa, kodwa sidukisa abanye.Sitholakala singabadukisi, bento ethize esikhuluma ngayo,okungesikho, uma nje Eyinsumansumane noma Engowomlandonje.16 Usizani uKristu womlando uma Engesuye ofanayonamhlanje na? Usizani uNkulunkulu kaMose uma Enge—ngesuye uNkulunkulu ofanayo namhlanje na? Kusizaniukuthatha inyoni yakho eculayo bese uyipha amavitaminiamahle, ukuyenza ibe nezimpaphe ezinhle namaphiko amahleaqinile, bese kuthi–ke uyigcine esibiyelweni na? Niyabo,akuyisizi ngalutho. Futhi sikhuluma ngokuthi uNkulunkuluwayemkhulu kangakanani, bese kuthi–ke singasho ukuthiUsafana namhlanje, khona–ke kukhona okungalungile.Sibiyelwe ngci ndawondawo. Futhi, lokho, lowo ngu—lowongumqondowamangawokuthi uNkulunkulu uyini.17 IBhayibheli lisho ngokusobala, “Usenguyena,” nalokhokuchaza ukuthi Usenguyena. Unjengoba Wayenjalo nje.Akakashintshi nakancinyane, futhi Nguyena izolo, namuhla,naphakade.18 Futhi manje sine, namhlanje, ngalolusuku nesikhathi,njengoba nje benza ngosuku lwaKhe nakuzo zonke izinsuku,sinomcabango ongowethu ngaLo. Kodwa, impela, uma ikhonaindlela ezweni ebesingazi ngeqiniso, siyofanele sithole ukuthiWayeyini, bese kuthi–ke sithole ukuthi Wayeyini kweminyeiminyaka.19 Khumbulani, iBhayibheli lathi, “Nguyena izolo, namuhla,naphakade.” Ngakho sizofanele sithole ukuthi Uyini, kweminyeiminyaka; ukwazi ukuthi Wayeyini onyakeni Ahamba kuwoemhlabeni, unyaka ngaphambi kokuba Ahambe emhlabeni,nonyaka emva kokuba Wayesemhlabeni futhi wawushiyaumhlaba. Sizofanele sithole ukuthi Wayeyini, ukwazi ukuthiUyini namhlanje, njalo, ngoba Nguyena izolo, namuhla,naphakade. Manje, kodwa, ngamany’amazwi, sizofanelesibuyele emuva futhi sihlolisise, ukubona ukuthi ngabeWayeyini.20 Manje siyathola, kuJohane oNgcwele isahluko 1,siqale ngevesi 1, kuthi, “Ekuqaleni wayekhona uLizwi,


uLizwi wayekuNkulunkulu.” Manje lokho yizingxenyeezingehlukaniseki, amaZwi aKhe; angumcabango manje,awezwakalisiwe. Niyabo, “Ekuqaleni yilo, kwakuyiZwi,noLizwi wayekuNkulunkulu, noLizwi wayenguNkulunkulu.NoLizwi waba yinyama wakha phakathi kwethu. Ekuqaleniwayekhona uLizwi!” Awu, uma WayenguLizwi ekuqaleni,UnguLizwi namhlanje, ngoba UnguLizwi njalo.

Manje uNkulunkulu uzofanele ehlulele izwe ngento ethize.21 Nabantu bathi, awu, manje njenge…Uma bengingabuzaiKatolika lapha kulobubusuku, ucabanga ukuthi uNkulunkuluubezolehlulela ngani izwe na? IKatolika belingathi, “NgebandlaeliKatolika.” Kulungile, manje liphi lona ibandla eliKatolikana? Manje banelamaRoma, ibandla loMthetho lamaGreki,namaningi awo. Bekungaba yiliphi ibandla eliKatolika na?ILuthela lithi, “Ngathi,” kusho ukuthi–ke nina Baptistiniphandle. Bese kuthi–ke ukuba besingathi, “NgeBaptisti,”kusho ukuthi–ke nina maPentecostal niphandle. Ngakhobekungabakhona ukudideka okukhulu, akekho obezokwaziukuthi akenzeni, ngakho Akazange athembise ukwehlulela izwengebandla.22 Wethembisa ukwehlulela izwe ngoKristu, noKristu uyiZwi.NeBhayibheli liyilokho okuzokwehlulela izwe, okunguJesuKristu onguye izolo, namuhla, naphakade.23 Manje, uma Wayekhona ekuqaleni, Wabela iZwi laKhe,kakhulu kangako, esizukulwaneni ngasinye, isikhathi ngasinyeukuthi Wa—ukuthi Wayenalonyaka uza.24 Ungosezindaweni zonke, owazi konke, umninimandla,nongenasiphelo. Uma Engesuye, Akasuye uNkulunkulu.Ngokuba ngongenasiphelo, U—U—UPhakade. Bese kuthi–ke,kulokho, ngokuba ngosezindaweni zonke; ngokuba ngowazikonke, azi izinto zonke, kuMenza abe ngosezindaweni zonke.Nguyena izolo, namuhla, naphakade.25 Ngakho, ngakho–ke, Wakwazi ukusho ukuphela ekuqaleni,futhi onyakeni ngamunye Wabela okungaka kweZwi laKhe,onyakeni ngamunye.26 Bese kuthi–ke, ngokwejwayelekile, umuntu uLitholaselisonteke kakhulu, nezwe lingena esimweni esinjalo,sekuze kudingeke Athumele omunye umuntu, egcotshiwe.Yonke iminyaka ubufana. Uzikhomba Yena uqobo phezukomhlaba, kumuntu. UNkulunkulu akenzi lutho ngaphandlekomuntu. IBhayibheli lasho njalo, niyazi. Niyabo? NjaloUthatha umuntu, ngoba kwakungumuntu Adingekaamsebenzise, futhi wadedela umuntu…Wambeka ekutheniabe ngozikhethelayo, azi ukuthi wayezowa, ukuze aveze obalaizingxenye ezingehlukaniseki zaKhe njengoMsindisi, ngokubakwakungekho lutho olulahlekile. Futhi, ngakho–ke, Wakhetha


umuntu. Wayengakhetha izinkanyezi, Wayengakhetha izihlahla,kodwa Wakhetha umuntu.27 Ngesinye isikhathi, emi, ebuka phezu kwesivuno; uJesu,Wathi, “Isivuno sivuthiwe. Izisebenzi ziyingcosana. NxusaniiNkosi yesivuno ukuba ithumele izisebenzi esivunweni saYo.”Futhi WayeyiNkosi yesivuno. Niyabo? “Aninakho ngoba aniceli.Aniceli ngoba anikholwa. Celani kuchichime, ukuba izintokozozenu zigcwaliswe.” Niyabo? Uncike kini nicela, futhi nikholwaukuthi niyakwemukela enikucelayo.28 Manje, manje–ke, ekuqaleni, sithola ukuthi Wabela iZwilaKhe. Sithola ukuthi, ngezinsuku zikaMose futhi kwehlenjalo, ukuthi U—Uzikhomba Yena uqobo njalo ngabaprofethibaKhe. IBhayibheli lithi, “Akenzi lutho aze kuqala Akwembulekubaprofethi baKhe.” Futhi, khumbulani, uNkulunkuluunguNkulunkulu ongaguqulekiyo. Akaguquki neze. Uhlalaenguye, izolo, namuhla, naphakade.29 Manje siyathola, onyakeni ngamunye, lowomuntu ungenaohlelweni lukaNkulunkulu. Badonsa umqondo ongowabo, futhikubukeka kukuhle. Kubukeka kukuhle, kukuhle kakhulu. Futhingesinye isikhathi kusondele kakhulu kungahle kubekhona izwielilodwa elehlukile, kodwa lelozwi elilodwa lisho umehlukophakathi kokufa nokuPhila.30 Kwakuyizwi elilodwa elaqala lonke lelibhola ligingqika,ngenkathi uEva engawukholwa ngokuyikho umkhakhaowodwaweZwi likaNkulunkulu.Khumbulani, aka…USathaneakazange athi nje ukulahla yonke into. Wathi, “O, ngempelaLeli liyoba ngalendlela, naLeli lingaleyondlela, noNkulunkulukanje–kanje, kodwa ngempela Akayikukwenza lokhu.”31 Kodwa Wathi Wayezokwenza, futhi, ngenkathi EthiUyokwenza, lokho kukwenza kube njalo. Niyabo? Nje, ufaneleukholwe wonke umkhakha waLo. Akunandaba ukuthi Lithini,Likholwe noma kanjani. Uma ungenakuLichaza, Likholwenoma kanjani. Ungeke wamchaza uNkulunkulu; akekhoongamchaza. UNkulunkulu waziwa ngokukholwa, hhayingesayense. Ukholwa uNkulunkulu ngokukholwa, ngoba Washonjalo, nalokho kuyakuxazulula. Inqobo nje uma Athi Linjalo,lokho kuyalwelapha udaba. Washo njalo; akwenzi mehlukoukuthi isho kangakanani isayense ukuthi Alinjalo.32 UNowa, uNowa wayengenakuchaza ukuthi amanziayekanjani phezulu esibhakabhakeni, ngoba isayense yathiayengekho lapho. Kodwa uma uNkulunkulu asho njalo,Unamandla okubeka amanzi phezulu lapho, ngakho lokho—lokho kwakuxazulula. Niyabo, wavele wamkholwa njeuNkulunkulu.33 Njalo, umuntu ogcotshwe ngeZwi, uyakukholwaokwashiwo nguNkulunkulu. Kungakhathaleki ukuthi ngabe


angakufakazisa, noma qha, uyaLikholwa noma kanjani.UNkulunkulu wenza ukufakazisa.34 Lalelani, namhlanje njalo sifana…Umuntu njalo udumisauNkulunkulu ngalokho Akwenzile, njalo ebheke Ayokwenza,futhi eshaya indiva lokho Akwenzayo. Njalo bekuyileyontoefanayo. Futhi wonk’umuntu unokuhumusha kwakhe uqobokwangasese.35 UNkulunkulu ungumhumushi waKhe Yena. UNkulunkuluakadingi–muntu ukuba ahumushe. IBhayibheli lathiLingaphandle kokuhunyushwa. Alidingi–muntu. UNkulunkuluuhumusha iBhayibheli, qobo lwaKhe. UNkulunkulu wathi,“Makube–khona ukukhanya,” futhi kwaba–khona ukukhanya.Lokho kuyakuxazulula. UNkulunkulu wathi, “Intombiiyakukhulelwa,” futhi yakhulelwa. Lokho kwakuxazulula.Uma uNkulunkulu esho nanoma yini, futhi ayiqinisekise,lokho ngukuhumushwa kwaKhe kwayo. Wathi Wayezo “thululauMoya waKhe” ngalolu izinsuku zokugcina, futhi Wakwenza.Akukho kuhunyushwa kukho; sekuvele kuhunyushiwe.Abangakholwayo bangahle bavuke, nabanqikazi bangahlebame, futhi noma ngabe yini abangayenza; kodwa uNkulunkuluwakwenza, noma kanjani, ngoba Wathi Wayezokwenza.Akadingi–muntu ukuba aMhumushe. Wenza ukuhumushakwaKhe uQobo. Wenza isithembiso, abantu bayasikholwa, futhiUbahumushela sona.36 UyiNkosi ephilisa zonke izifo zethu. Ngeke nganitshelaukuthi Ukwenza kanjani, kodwa Uyakwenza. WathiWayezokwenza, ukuthiWayezokwenza, ngakho kusekukholwenikwethu. Wayengenakukwenza lapho ngaphandle kokukholwa,kanjalo Angekwenze lapha, noma ngasiphi isikhathi,ngaphandle kokukholwa.

Manje, UyiZwi. UyiZwi elikhonjelwe lowonyaka.37 Manje, inkathazo ngabantu, namhlanje, sibathola bephilaekubenyezeleni okuxhopha amehlo komunye unyaka. Njengobanje uJesu athola ngenkathi Efika, Wabathola bephilaekubenyezeleni okuxhopha amehlo komthetho, futhi beshayaindiva okwakuzokwenzeka onyakeni waKhe. Niyazi ukuthi yiniindaba namhlanje na? Yini indaba nge…38 Kwakwenzenjani ngeLuthela na? Awu, ngoba babephilaekubenyezeleni okuxhopha amehlo konyaka weLuthela,ngenkathi uJohn Wesley ethola imfihlo yokungcweliswa.Babengenakuhamba, ngoba babehlala ekubenyezeleniokuxhopha amehlo konyaka kaLuther.

Kwenzekani kumaPentecostal na?39 Ngani, uWesley wayehlele kakhulu, waze wahlalaekubenyezeleni okuxhopha amehlo komunye unyaka,babesonyakeni kaWesley, ngenkathi umbhaphathizo kaMoyaoNgcwele wehlela phezu kwamaPentecostal. Niyabo, babephila


kulokho okwashiwo nguWesley, ukungcweliswa. Kwakunzimakubo ukukholwa umbhaphathizo kaMoya oNgcwele,ukubuyiselwa kweziphiwo. Babehlala ekubenyezeleniokuxhopha amehlo komunye unyaka.40 Futhi yilokho ababekwenza ngenkathi uJesu efika. Bathi,“SinoMose. Thina, sinoMose.”41 Wathi, “Ukuba benimazi uMose, beniyakungazi naMi.UMose waloba ngaMi. Hlolani imiBhalo, ngokuba kuYo nithininokuPhila okuPhakade, futhi Yiyona Efakaza ngaMi.” LowokwakungumBhalo owawufanele ubekhona.42 UNkulunkulu ekhomba, ehumusha umBhalo waKhewalowonyaka, futhi nguKristu njalo. NguKristu kuyo yonkeiminyaka. Nguyena izolo, namuhla, naphakade. BekunguKristunjalo.43 Manje siyathola, ukuthi manje sithola abazalwane bethubamaPentecostal baphila ekubenyezeleni okuxhopha amehlokonyaka wePentecostal, futhi basaLigeja. Bazama ukuhumushaunyaka wephentekoste, kanti sesithe nqo sedlula kulokho.Siphila ngokuqhubeka senyukele esikhathini sokuhlwithwa,kokufika kwesi—sikhathi sokuphela. Kodwa yileyondlelaumuntu enza ngayo, kuba ngaleyondlela nje.44 Sinokuningi kakhulu okwabelwe unyaka ngamunye.IBhayibheli labelwe kanjalo, futhi yileyondlela esifanele sibenakho. Yileyondlela okuzofanele kube ngayo.45 UNkulunkulu ongaguqulekiyo, nesimilo esingaguqulekiyo,Nezimilo zezimo zaKhe zihlala zifana nje. Angesiguqule isimilosesimo saKhe. Angekwenze. Noma yini yaziwa ngesimilosesimo sayo.46 Angazi noma nonke ninazo yini izinyoni ezidla imbewuezansi lapha noma qha, inyoni etshwekezayo…sizibizangogqinsi, ne—nenyoni etshwekezayo. Zombili zithi azilingane.Bhekisisa inyoni etshwekezayo indiza, uma isebangeni futhiuyibhekisisa, iyokwenza umugqa ongu B uma indiza. Kodwa,inyoni edla imbewu, iyohamba iya phansi–phezulu lapho indiza.Niyabo, leso yisimilo sesimo senyoni edla imbewu. Ungayibonangesenzo sayo.

Bhekisisa umuntu esebenzisa isandla sakhe sokunene nomaesokunxele. Uyi chara–…47 Sinabesifazane namhlanje abafuna ukuba ngowesilisa.Bagqoka njengabo, kodwa basalokhu…Babhekisisenibehamba nokuthi benzani, basalokhu…Isimilo sesimo sabosikhombisa ukuthi bangabesifazane, nokho, ngokufanayo nje,niyabo, ngoba kungaleyondlela nje. Sizofika kulokho kamuva.Kodwa, nokho, sikwenye into ethize khonamanje.

Khumbulani, ukhonjwa ngesimilo sesimo.


48 NoNkulunkulu ukhonjwa ngesimilo sesimo saKheesikhulu, ukuthi, “Angeguquke.” Wathi, kuMalaki 3:6,“NginguNkulunkulu, futhi Angiguquki.” Niyabo? Akashintshiuqobo. Izimilo zezimo zaKhe ziyafana.49 Kwakuthi njalo uma Ebonakala emhlabeni, ekuphelenikonyaka, Wayehlala njalo ethumela umuntu futhi amgcobengoMoya oNgcwele, uKristu. UMoya oNgcwele nguKristu,“ogcotshiweyo,” iZwi–mcabango, futhi Laphuma, futhiLifikela ukukhomba a—amaZwi alowonyaka. “IZwi leNkosiliza kubaprofethi,” iBhayibheli lasho njalo, futhi likhombalowonyaka. Niyabo, Akenzi lutho ngaphandle komuntu.Manje Angekwenze eqenjini. Ungeke wakwenza. Akukaze njekwenziwe. Akazange asebenzise iqembu; akazange akwenze.Usebenzisa umuntu oyedwa vo. Awu…50 UIsrayeli wasindiswa njengesizwe, kodwawena uzosindiswanjengomuntu ngamunye.51 Futhi umuntu oyedwa Asebenzana naye. Wayene…Akazange ngisho abe no—no—noMose noElija, isikhathiesifanayo.Wayengeke abe noElija noEliyase, isikhathi esifanayo.Wayengeke abe noJohane noJesu, isikhathi esifanayo. Uhlalanjalo enoyedwa, ngoba Ufaka lowomuntu oyedwa entandweniyaKhe yobuNkulunkulu.52 Ukuba besiqale kulobubusuku, futhi ngathola indodaeyodwa, enye indoda lapha ebengingayikhetha, futhi sivumelaneemfundisweni, ngokupheleleyo nje, besingaqala iqembuelincane. Onyakeni kusukela namhlanje, besizoba nabaningioRicky phakathi lapho, ngani, bekungaba yihlazo. Kunjalo,bangena nje njengezindla–magazi. Ungeke wabavimba. Ngakho,ngakho–ke, kwakungesiyo neze inqubo kaNkulunkulu.53 UNkulunkulu angeguquke. Usebenzana, ngokufanayo,nomuntu ngamunye!Wakwenza yonke iminyaka. Ubehlala njaloekwenza.54 Nesimilo sesimo saKhe sikhonjwa kulowonyaka. Manje,ningakukhohlwa lokho, isimilo sesimo saKhe sikhonjwakulowonyaka.55 Bukani ngezinsuku zikaJosefa, umprofethi, ukuthiuJesu wakhonjwa ngokuphelele kanjani kuJosefa. Wazalwa,wathandwa nguyise, wazondwa ngabazalwane bakhe,ngaphandle kwesizathu. Wayebathanda abafowabo. KodwababenobuFarisi obuzifakele isitashi, njengaso, futhibabengazihlanganise ngalutho naye, futhi bamzonda ngobawabona imibono na—nakanjalonjalo. Kodwa sona impela isimilosesimo kuye sakhombisa ukuthi kwakunguKristu.56 UJosefa wayengumprofethi. Washo izinto zingakenzeki.Kwenzeka impela nje ngendlela okwenzeka ngayo. Indlelaakukhuluma ngayo, yileyondlela okwenzeka ngayo. Futhiuhumusha amaphupho, futhi akanikezi neze nje ukuhunyushwa


kwalo kwasendle. Ngaso sonke isikhathi athi kuyobangaleyondlela, yileyondlela nje okwakuba ngayo. Wazalwa,umprofethi, walowonyaka. Kunjalo impela. Manje, sitholaukuthi uNkulunkulu waveza obala isimilo sesimo saKhekuJosefa.57 Bonke ababaprofethi baveza obala isimilo sesimosikaNkulunkulu, ngoba sacosha iZwi lalowonyaka futhilasikhomba. UNkulunkulu wahumusha iZwi laKhe,lalowonyaka, ngomuntu. Manje, akekho ongafumana iphuthangalokho. Lowo ngumBhalo.58 Awu, uma bekungaleyondlela njalo, akuzukudingeka yiniukuba kube ngokufanayo namhlanje, uma Enguyena izolo,namuhla, naphakade na? [Ibandla lithi, “Amen.”—Umhl.]59 UNkulunkulu wahumusha iZwi laKhe uQobo! Wathi,“Lento iyokwenzeka ngonyaka othize, nalento iyokwenzeka,”futhi Uyehla bese eyenza. Manje, Akadingi kuhumusha kukho,ngoba kuzenzela khona. Akadingi–muntu ukuba aMhumushe.UnguElohim, okhona ngokwamandla akhe, onele konke.Akadingi–sizo kumuntu. Niyabo, UnguNkulunkulu, futhiWenzanjengoba Ethanda.60 Futhi kunento eyodwa esiqinisekile ngayo ukuthiAngeyenze; Angephikisane neZwi laKhe, futhi ahlaleenguNkulunkulu. Uzofanele aligcine iZwi laKhe, ngoba iZwilinguNkulunkulu. Li…Futhi uNkulunkulu ukhonjwa ngeZwilaKhe elithenjiswe onyakeni.61 Kokuthize, ngezinsuku ze, manje ini, ngezinsuku zikaMose?Wakhonjwa. Wakhonjwa ngoba Wakhonjwa yiZwi laKhe.Watshela uAbrahama, “Inzalo yakho iyogogobala ezwenilabezizwe iminyaka engamakhulu amane. Ngiyakubakhiphangesandla esinamandla.”62 Manje, ngenkathi lesisibonakaliso esikhulukazi senzeka,njengebhola elikhulu loMlilo esihlahleni esivuthayo.UMose wayengusokhemisi. Wayefundiswe kukho konkeukuhlakanipha kwabaseGibhithe. Ukuba–ke uMose wayehambewedlula nokwakhe—nokuma kwakhe kwemfundo, wayesethi,“Awubheke lesosihlahla esiyinqaba! Siyasha. Siyavutha.Amaqabunga ayaqhuma, futhi akukho lutho olubhujiswayo,oluqothulwayo. Manje, emva kokuba lokho sekuqedeukuvutha, ngizokha amanye amaqabunga bese ngehlela endliniyokusebenzela isayense bese ngithola ukuthi hlobo lunilwesithako esifuthwe ngaso”? Ngabe akukhulumanga nezekuye! Kodwa ngenkathi ekhumula izicathulo zakhe, wenyukangokuzithoba!63 Yileyondlela esithola ngayo uNkulunkulu, uma sikhumulaukuziqhenya kwethu bese sikubeka phansi, bese senyukelaeBukhoneni.


64 Lalelani lelophimbo likhomba. “NGINGUYEENGINGUYE. NginguNkulunkulu ka Abrahama, uIsaka,nokaJakobe. Ngiyasikhumbula isithembiso saMi, futhiNgiyabona isimo sikahle. Ngehlile, futhi Ngizokhuluma. FuthiNgithumawena, futhi wena uzoba yiphimbo laMi.” O, he!65 Yileyondlela Akwenza ngayo. Wakwenza ini na?Ngokuzikhomba Yena uqobo esimilweni sesimo saKhe,kokungaphezu kwemvelo. Okungaphezu kwemvelo ngesinyeisikhathi kuyisimanga esikhulu esivelayo, Sithi ngqu sisukekubantu. Abantu baba ngabantu abahle, abantu abakahle,kodwa ngezinye izikhathi baqonda ngokungesikho.66 Yilokho–ke, leyo kwakuyinto efanayo ngoJosefa.Wayengaqondi. Uyindodana kaDavide, kodwa akaqondangaukuthi uMariya wayengakhulelwa kanjani. Manje,akungabazeki, nalawo amakhulu, amehlo amahle ansundu,ambuka ebusweni, wayesethi, “S’thandwa, ngiyazi sithembiseneukuthi sishade. Nginokuthile ukuba ngikutshele khona. Ngibenokuvakashelwa, nguGabriyeli, futhi ngi…Ngikhulelwe,‘ngoMoya oNgcwele,’ Ungitshelile. ‘Nalento ezozalwa ayizukubayindodana yakho; kuzoba yiNdodana kaNkulunkulu.’” Futhi,manje, uJosefa wayefuna ukukukholwa lokho. Kodwa a—akakukholwanga nje, kul’khuni. Kwakul’khuni kakhulu kuyeukukholwa. Kodwa, niyazi, kwakungajwayelekile. Abesifazaneabakhulelwanga, ngobuntombi, ngakho kwakungejwayelekile.67 Nalokho yizinto ezingejwayelekile ezenziwanguNkulunkulu. Kukhuba abantu. Kuyagqamisa, kuvulaamehlo abanye, futhi kuphuphuthekisa abanye, ngesikhathiesifanayo. Kwakuhlala njalo kwenza lokho, Yena—Yena, izintoezingejwayelekile nendlela engejwayelekile.68 Ukuba uJosefa wayebheke kuphela umBhalo,ukuthola ukuthi kwakuzokwenzekani ngalolosuku.Manje, kwakungekho–baprofethi ngaleyonkathi. Babekadebengenaye umprofethi iminyaka engamakhulu amane.UMalaki wayengumprofethi wabo wokugcina. Nabaprofethibabengejwalekile impela. Ngakho babengenabaprofethingalezozinsuku, ngakho uNkulunkulu wathatha indlela yesibili,wayesemnika iphupho, wayesemtshela. “Josefa, ndodanakaDavide, ungesabi ukumthatha uMariya umkakho, ngokubalokho akukhulelwe, kuye, kungokukaMoya oNgcwele.”69 Niyabo, uNkulunkulu ezikhomba Yena uqobo, Uhlala njaloekwenza lokho ngendlela yokungaphezu kwemvelo.70 Manje, laba, uJosefa noMose, futhi ukuba nje besinesikhathiesiningi besingaqhubeka siqhubeke nje nakho. Kodwaniyaqonda ukuthi ngiqonde ukuthini, lokho, uNkulunkulu, kuyoyonke iminyaka, njalo uthumela umuntu ngamunye, umuntuoyedwa.


71 Pho nibambelelani eqenjini elithize, kanti onke anephuthana? IBhayibheli lasho njalo, iSambulo 17, konke kuyoqoqelwaeqenjini elilodwa elikhulu. Kodwa lapho kuyophuma abantungamunye okahle noNkulunkulu, hhayi iqembu elikahle; okahlengamunye, umuntu ngamunye eqenjini. Manje siyathola, ke,siyaqophisana futhi siqhubeke, ngokuthi, “Singaba leli, futhisingaba lelo.” Lokho akusho neyodwa into kuNkulunkulu.72 Uwe njengomuntu ngamunye, phambi kukaNkulunkulu.Uma…Ufanele ume ngezinyawo zakho uqobo. Nguweozokwenza ubufakazi. Ngamunye wenu uzofanele enze lokho,aphendule kuNkulunkulu ngeSambulo.73 Manje uma–ke ngikhuluma lapha kumuntu obengekengempela aLemukele, akukho lutho kuye ukuba emukelengalo? IBhayibheli lathi, “Lowo ozinekela ekutamaseni ufileesekhona.” Kungani kwakungesibo labo baFarisi na?74 Bukani uJesu, konke esasikwazi, WayeziZwilikaNkulunkulu elibonakalisiweyo. Siyakukholwa lokho.IBhayibheli lathi kwakunguye. Awu, bhekisisani uma Esenzeisibonakaliso saKhe sobuMesiya.75 AbaFarisi, ababenokukhanya okuncanyana. Babengabantuabalungile, baphila impilo yobuKristu elungile, noma impiloenhle yezenkolo, babenokukhanya okuncane ngabo. Babeorgan–…hlelile, nobupristi. Babenokukhanya okuncane.Kodwa phansi ekugcineni phansi enhliziyweni yabo,babengenakumelwa okuPhakade eNkazimulweni. Ngakhongenkathi bebone lokho okungaphezu kwemvelo kwenziwa,bathi, “Lomuntu unguBelzabule, idemoni.” Futhi kwenzekanina? Lokho kwacima lokhu kukhanya ababenakho.76 Kodwa lapha kwakungomncane, owesifazane onegamaelibi, isifebe. Phansi enhliziyweni yakhe, awu, wayenokumeleomunye wemicabango kaNkulunkulu. Nango wayelapho,elinganisiwe esonweni. Kodwa ngenkathi ebone lokhokwenzeka, wathi, “Nkosi, ngiyakholwa Ungumprofethi wena.Ngiyazi nxa uMesiya efika Uyakusitshela lezizinto.” Kwenzanina? Kwahlanza impilo yakhe. WayenguMhlengi, kuye, ngobaWayekwazi ukumphakamisela lapho ayekade evele khona.77 Kodwa lomFarisi, kucabangeni, enenkolo ngakho konke,noJesu wathi, “Ningabakayihlo udeveli, futhi niyokwenzaimisebenzi yakhe.” Indoda yezenkolo, ingowezinhle, iziyaloeziphakeme. Futhi uJesu wababiza ngokuthi, “Izinyokaotshanini, nodeveli.” Benqaba ukuKhanya kwehora. Yilokhoimpela okwakuyikho.78 UJesu onyakeni waKhe, Wayeyini na? Njengabaprofethi njebonyaka wabo, ngamunye wabo wayeyiZwi likaNkulunkululihunyushelwa lowo nyaka.79 UMose wayeyiZwi likaNkulunkulu, lihunyushiwe.UNkulunkulu wathi, “Ngiyakuthuma ezansi lapho, futhi


Ngiyakubakhulula. Ngithuma wena ezansi neZwi laMi.Ngiyokwenza izibonakaliso ezinkulu nezimanga.”Wakwenza.80 UMariya, wayeyiZwi likaNkulunkulu, lihunyushiwe.“Intombi iyakukhulelwa.” Lelo kwakuyiZwi likaNkulunkulu,lihunyushiwe.81 Manje nakhu kufika uJesu enkundleni, uNkulunkuluwabaprofethi. Futhi nampa babekhona, behlelwe kakhulufuthi babekwa icala lobelelesi, futhi, o, esimweni ngangokuthiababange besakwazi ngisho noku…Abazange ngishobaMqonde. Akafikanga ngendlela ababecabanga ukuthiWayefanele afike ngayo. Babecabanga ukuthi uNkulunkuluwayezodonsa isigwadlulo esincane lapha, futhi adedeleimihubhe yaseZulwini yehle, futhi Wayezohamba aphume beseethi, ‘Kayafase,mpristi omkhulu kaNkulunkulu, seNgifikile.’”82 Kodwa WayeneNgane izalwe emkhombeni, ezansi e—emgedeni omncane, isitebele eBethlehema. Ezansi le, notshaniobomile nomquba wendlu yokukhweza izimpahla, inganeencane isongwe ngembeleko, yase Ilaliswa emkhombeni.Yayingenakho ukufunda esikoleni. Bhekisisani ukuthibaliqondisa kanjani iZwi na? Njengoba, WayeyiZwi. UyiZwi.Uhlala efana njalo, izolo, namuhla, naphakade. Kunjalo.83 Manje, angenzi nayikuphi, ngintshinga noma yini,kunoma ubani kumbe noma yini. Lokho akukho enhlosweniyami ukwenza lokho. Uma lokho bekusenhliziyweni yami,bengizojikela phambi kwaleli ialtare, futhi ngilungise, kuqala.84 Kodwa, bukani, kinina bantu enikhuleka kuMariya,abengomelayo; bukani uMariya. Ngikholwa ukuthiwayengowesifazane oyintombi, impela, kodwa njewayengumshini wokuchamusela uNkulunkulu awusebenzisaukuletha uKristu emhlabeni. Indlu e…85 UNkulunkulu welula ithende laKhe, esuka ekubeninguJehova, eya ekubeni ngumuntu. Wayengu Emanuweli,“UNkulunkulu akhe phakathi kwethu,” ekhempe nathi;uNkulunkulu, ephethwe enyameni; uNkulunkulu, efakweendlini ethendeni elibizwa ngomuntu, leyo kwakuyiNdodanakaNkulunkulu.86 Bukani uMariya. Nangu uMfana, eneminyaka eyishuminambili ubudala, wayengakaze abe nosuku esikoleni, njengobasazi ngaye; naNgu, emi ethempelini, enenkulumo mpikiswanonabapristi. Futhi bhekisisani, nakhu kufika lobaba nomama,izinsuku ezintathu nobusuku, babelahlekelwe nguYe, futhibaMthola ethempelini. Bathi, “Ndodana, sifune…” UMariya,lalelani uMariya, wathi, “Thina, uyihlo nami besiKufuna, imininobusuku, ngezinyembezi.” Bukani lapho, ephika ubufakazibakhe. Watshela uJosefa ukuthi uMoya oNgcwele wamsibekela;watshela labobapristi ukuthi Lena yayiyingane eyazalwa


intombi; futhi nangu emi, futhi uthi, “Uyihlo, uJosefa, nami.”Niyakubona ukuthi lokho akulungile kanjani na?87 Kodwa bhekisisani iZwi likaNkulunkulu, lathi, “Anaziyini ukuthi Ngimele ukuba ngibe kokukaBaba waMi na?”IZwi njalo liqondisa ukweduka ngokukhomba uNkulunkuluphakathi kwabo. UMntwana oneminyaka eyishumi nambiliubudala, ukuba wayekade, uJosefa wayekade engubaba waKhe,Wayeyokwakha izindlu namakhabethe. Kodwa Wayephandlelapho ediliza lawomahlelo angalolosuku. WayekokukaBabawaKhe. Niyabona ukuthi Wayenzani na? “Futhi anazi yiniukuthi Ngimele ukuba ngibe kokukaBaba waMi na?” Niyabo,watshela umama waKhe, niyabona ukuthi ini…? Awu,WayeyiZwi.88 UyiZwi, neZwi liqondisa ukweduka ngokukhombakwesimilo sesimo sikaNkulunkulu. Amen. Bukani, ngenkathiizwe…89 Sengathi ngiyambona uSimoni Petru. Ngake ngafundaindatshana, ngaye no—nomfowabo, uAndreya. Negama lakhelalinguSimoni ngaleyonkathi, niyazi, futhi wayengakabizwangoPetru. Ngakho yena nomfowabo wayengabadobi, nobabawabo, futhi babephandle olwandle. Nekhehla lase ligugile,wayesebabizela esikebheni, ngobunye ubusuku, wayesethi,“Bafana, niyazi simethembile uNkulunkulu. Izikhathi eziningiesasingabinakho esizokudla, futhi sasinezikweletu ukubasizikhokhele. Futhi—futhi sasiphuma, singabambanga, izinsukuezimbili noma ezintathu. Futhi umama wenu nami, ngaphambikokuba ni…washona, ngani, sonke sasiqoqana futhi sikhuleke,noNkulunkulu wayesinika ukuba sibambe kahle. Bafana,ngimethembile uNkulunkulu, yonke impilo yami. Futhingangihlala njalo nginjenganoma yimuphi umHeberu weqiniso,ukubona uMesiya efika. Manje, bafana, sengi—ngiguge kakhulumanje. Mhlawumbe ngeke ngiMbone, kodwa ngifuna ninabafana nibe ngaba yaleke kahle.”90 Sengiyambona egaxa uSimoni ngezingalo, neyodwakuAndreya, futhi athi, “Bafana, ngaphambi kokufika kwaKhenje, niyobona ukugqamuka. Kuyobakhona zonke izinhlobozezinto ezingamanga ziqubuka, ngakho nje kuyophuphuthekisaamehlo abantu.” Njalo kuyakwenza lokho; futhi kwenza lokhonje. “Kuyobakhona zonke izinhlobo ze…Kodwa, khumbulani,ningadukiswa. UMesiya uyoba ngumprofethi. Isizathu, uMosewathi, kuDetoronomi isahluko 18, ivesi 15, ‘INkosi uNkulunkuluwenu iyakuvusa umProfethi onjengami.’ Manje, asinabaprofethibokubonakalisa iZwi likaNkulunkulu. Kwakukade kungekhonamunye wabo lapha ukuba iZwi lize kuye, ngakho kadesinodaba lobuhlelo nje amakhulu ngamakhulu eminyaka.Kodwa nxa kufika Lowo enkundleni, ningadukiswa, Uyobangumprofethi. INkosi iyakuzenza yaziwe qobo lwaYo. Iyakuba


ngumprofethi. Futhi, nxa Ifika, Iyakuzikhomba qobo lwaYonjengomprofethi.91 Sengiyabona ngolunye usuku lowo Simoni ehla ukuyobonauJesu lapho ogwini. Futhi ngenkathi enyukela eBukhonenibukaJesu, uJesu wambheka wayesethi…92 Waqala nje inkonzo yaKhe, manje, uJohane oNgcweleisahluko 1, nasemva kokuba “iZwi selenziwe inyama futhi lakhaphakathi kwethu,” Nangu. Manje, siyatshelwa ukuthi uAndreyauMbone kuqala, futhi wamuzwa uJohane eshumayela, futhiwazama ukuthola uSimoni ukuba ahambe. Futhi wathi nje, “O,awu, ngomunye umshumayeli nje. Kuyeke. Futhi kubekhonalokhu, lokho, noma okunye.” Kodwa, into yokuqala niyazi,babecabanga ukuthi babezokuza babone.93 Wathi, “Manje uMesiya usefikile!” O, Andre…USimoniakakukholwanga lokho.94 Ngakho wavele wenyuka nje ngolunye usuku ukuyalapho uJesu ayemi khona. UJesu wayemi phansi echibinielikhulu ngalokho kusa, nabobonke abantu babebutheneenhla. Nabesifazane bawasha izitsha ngokukhulu ukushesha,base behlalisa izingubo zabo emuva, nayoyonke intoababengezukuyiwasha ngalolo suku, behlela ukuzoMuzwaekhuluma. USimoni wayekade edobe ngenetha bonke ubusukulapho, futhi mhlawumbe wayengabambanga nhlanzi nomalutho. Waphuma, wacabanga, “Ngikholwa ukuthi ngizozwa njeukuthi Uthini.” Wenyukela kuYe.95 Wayewuhlobo loMfo obukeka eyinqaba. IBhayibheli lathi,“Akukho buhle esingaMfisela bona.” Wayengabukeki efananenkosi.96 Ubuhle bungobukadeveli, njalo. Kunjalo impela. Futhisingahle singene kulokho, kamumvanyana, ngakho–ke siyathola.Siyabona ukuthi uKayini wanikela ngani, futhi siyabonaukuthi kwakuyini eZulwini, futhi sithola ukuthi lelizwe liyini,lingubuhle obuyize, nani. IHollywood seyengamele, namhlanje,ngisho nebandla. Yebo, mnumzane. Ngumqondo wamanga,kadeveli.97 Phakathi nobuhle beNkosi, ebungcweleni naMandla;hhayi ngopende, nophawuda, nezikhindi, nayoyonke enye intoabazama ukuyigqoka nokuyenza. Kusebuhleni bobungcwelenokulunga. Asisibo abalelizwe. Singabombuso ongaPhezulu,lapho kuhlala khona ukulungamaphakathi. Yebo.98 Bangeke bazihlobise ngaLokho. Eningi kakhuluithelevishini, kanjalonjalo.99 Ngakho manje–ke sithola ukuthi uSimoni wenyukelaeBukhoneni baKhe, futhi nakho kumi Lowo uAndreyaamkholwa ukuthi unguMesiya. Futhi njengoba uJesu, wathi njeAngambheka u—uSimoni, Wathi, “Igama lakho unguSimoni,


futhi uyindodana kaJona.” Wazi ngaleyonkathi–ke ukuthilowo Wayengubani. Kwakungekho hlaya lokuthi kwakukhonauNkulunkulu ekhonjiwe futhi khona lapha emBhalweni, isimilosaKhe esifanayo.

Ukuba uJosefa wayebheke emuva nje lapho wayesekubonalokho!100 UJesu, ngenkathi Eshumayela lapha emhlabeni, Wathi…Wathi, “Hlolani imiBhalo, kuYo nithi ninokuPhila okuPhakade;YiYo efakaza ngaMi.” Ukuba nje babefulathele basukaemthethweni. Umthetho wawungowalolo suku, futhi babephilakulolohlobo lokubenyezela okuxhopha amehlo. Kodwa nampanamhlanje, abakwazanga ukubona umBhalo ukhonjwa khonalapho. Futhi behluleka ukuWubona.101 Futhi bakwenzile kuyoyonke iminyaka, futhi bayokwenzakulona, nawo. Akukho okunye kwabo abangakwenza.Kubikezelwe ukuthi bayokwenza, ngakho ba—bayokwenza.Ayikho indlela yokukugegela. UNyaka waseLawodikeyauyokwenza into efanayo.102 Manje mbhekisiseni. Nango emi lapho, wayesethi, “Manje,kade singenaye umprofethi iminyaka engamakhulu amane,futhi nangu uMuntu Ongitshela ukuthi ngingubani, nokuthiubaba wami omesabayo uNkulunkulu wayengubani. LowonguMesiya.” Manje, siyatshelwa ukuthi uSimoni wayengazilutho futhi engumuntu ongafundile, kodwa wenziwa inhlokoyeBandla.103 Siyathola, kwakukhona oyedwa emi lapho, ogama lingu—nguFiliphu, futhi wakubona lokho. Futhi wayekade enezifundozeBhayibheli nendoda ethiwa—ethiwa nguNatanayeli. Umauzomaka lapho uJesu ayekhona, kuya lapho afumana khonauNatanayeli, kwakungamamayela ayishumi nanhlanu. Lolouhambo oluhle losuku. Ngakho ufanele ukuthi wagijimaejikeleza lapho, ngale kwegquma, kanjalo. Manje sizobona.Wathi, “Natanayeli!” Ngenkathi ehlangana naye, wathi, “Uyazi,kade sinezifundo zeBhayibheli.”

“Yebo.”104 “Awu, manje, kade sikholwa ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokubakwenzeke into ethize. Izimiselo zezikhathi ziyaguquka,futhi sesiyisikhathi sokufika kukaMesiya, ngoba kadesingenamprofethi manje iminyaka engamkhulu amane. FuthiuMalaki wasitshela ukuthi Uyothumela umanduleli phambikwethu, futhi ngikholwa ukuthi lowo nguJohane.”105 Manje siyazi, uma nibona isibonakaliso, isibonakalisoseBhayibheli sangeqiniso, kunephimbo leBhayibheli langeqinisoemva kwaso. Uma kungekho phimbo elilandela isibonakaliso,iphimbo elidala nje elifanayo lesayense yezenkolo, khohlwa yilo;aliveli neze kuNkulunkulu. Likhona, njalo. Watshela uMose,“Uma bengayikukholwa isibonakaliso sokuqala, bayokholwa


yiphimbo lesibonakaliso sesibili.” Kuzofanele kubekhonaiphimbo elinesibonakaliso. Uqobo! Futhi uma kuyiphimboelifanayo elidala lesayense yezenkolo, khohlwa yilo. Senivelenibe nalo lelo. Yinto ethize; uNkulunkulu uzama ukuhehaukunaka kwabantu, ngesibonakaliso, bese kuthi–ke abanikeiphimbo, okusemva kwesibonakaliso. Kufanele kube yiphimbolangokomBhalo; uMosewayengeke alikholwe, kanjalo noPawuluwayengeke.106 Esendleleni yakhe ebheke ezansi eDamaseku, ngenkathiebone lesosibonakaliso, saleyoNsika yoMlilo, wamemezakakhulu, “Nkosi!” Lelo Juda lalingeke neze libize noma yinienye into nge “Nkosi,” kodwa iNkosi, kodwa iNkosi qobo lwaYo.Wathi, “UnguBani?”107 Wathi, “NginguJesu, futhi kulukhuni kuwena ukukhahlelaezinkandini.” Niyabo? Naso isibonakaliso sasilapho, futhi nantoiphimbo lesibonakaliso lalilapho.108 Manje–ke bukani ukuthi wathini. Bukani, bhekisisaniinkonzo yakhe kusukela lapho kuqhubeke, ukuthiwenzani, futhinizobona ukuthi liphathwa kanjani ibandla.

Manje siyathola, ukuthi, laphoWakhonjwa kuSimoni.109 Manje–ke siyambona, uNatanayeli, sizomletha ngapha.NoNatanayeli wathi, “Manje, awume kancane. Manje, ufaneleukuba nephutha.”110 “Qhabo, anginalo iphutha. Uyamazi lowomdobi omdalaesasivame ukudoba naye ezansi lapho na?”

“Yebo.”“Uyazi wayengakwazi ngisho ukusayina igama lakhe.”“Kunjalo, kuleyo risidi, yenhlanzi ngalesosikhathi.”

111 “Ngenkathi enyukela eBukhoneni baLokhu engikwazingokuthi kunguMesiya…Manje, ngifuna ukukubuza,Natanayeli. Uyisifundiswa esikahle sasesikoleni, umHeberuolungileyo, nomfundi okahle weBhayibheli. Uyoba yini uMesiyanxa Efika na?”

“Awu,Uyoba ngumprofethi, ngoba iBhayibheli lathiU…”112 “Awu, ubungathini ukuba bengikutshele ukuthi Watshelaleyondoda, uSimoni, ukuthi wayengubani, nokuthi uyiniowakhe, ukuthi wayengubani ubaba wakhe na?”

“O, ngeke ngakukholwa lokho.”“Awu, asihambe siyothola. Asihambe. Woza futhi ubone.”

Niyabo?“Kukhona okuhle okungavela eNazaratha na?”washo.

113 Wathi, “Woza futhi ubone.” Lowo ngumbuzo omuhle.Ungahlali ekhaya futhi uKugxeke. Woza futhi ubone,


ngesingawe. Wathi, “Woza, letha iBhayibheli lakho futhiulihlolisise.” Nangu eza.

“Kukhona okuhle okungavela eNazaratha na?”Wathi, “Woza, ubone.”

114 Futhi ngenkathi enyukela eBukhoneni bukaJesu, uJesuwambheka. Manje Wathi, “Bheka umIsrayeli okungekhonkohliso kuye.”

Wathi, “Rabi, Uze wangazi nini na?”115 Wathi, “Ungakabizwa nguFiliphu, uphansi komuthi,Ngakubona.”116 Wathi, “Rabi, UyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu wena. UyiNkosikaIsrayeli.”117 Ngani? Isimilo saKhe saMkhomba. Ngani? AmaHeberuisahluko 4, ivesi 12, kuyasho ukuthi, “IZwi likaNkulunkululinamandla kakhulu, libukhali kakhulu kunenkemba esikanhlangothi zombili, lihlaba lahlukanise, futhi lahluleleimicabango nezizindlo zenhliziyo.”118 Yilokho abaprofethi abakwenzayo, futhi babeyiZwi.BabeyiZwi onyakeni wabo, kodwa lapha kwakungukugcwalakweZwi. Niyabo? Babenguye owayekwazi ukubatshelaokwenzekile, bahlulele imicabango; nokuthi kwakuyini, nokuthikuyini, nokuthi yini ezayo.119 Ngakho nangoWayemi lapho. O, kwakunabanye babo abamalapho, bathi…Babefanele banikeze impendulo ebandleni labo.Babefanele bakwenze, ngoba lapho i—imisebenzi yamandlawawenziwe futhi babengenakuwuphika.120 Niyabo, base bevele benokuphilisa, mayelananokuphiliswa. BabeneChibi laseBetsayida, enhla lapho, niyazi.Bona, iBetsayida, bangena kulelochibi base bephiliswa.Babenokuphiliswa ngokukaNkulunkulu kuyoyonke iminyaka,kodwa lapha kwakukhona umprofethi.121 Ba—babefanele bakwenze. Niyazi ukuthi bathini na?“Lomuntu unguBelzabule, umbhuli. Wenza i…”122 UJesu wathi, “Ngizonithethelela ngalokho. Kodwa nxauMoya oNgcwele efika komunye unyaka, ukwenza iZwielifanayo, imisebenzi owodwa…izwi elilodwa eliphambenenaWo, alisoze lathethelelwa, hhayi kulelizwe noma ezwenielizayo.” Lokho ukuhlambalaza, ukubiza uMoya kaNkulunkulungomoya ongcolile, owenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu.Kucabangeni kanzima ngempela lokho manje. Khumbulani,kugcineni lokho emqondweni wenu.123 Yebo, Wakhonjwa kanjalo–ke izolo. Lowo kwakunguJesu,izolo. Futhi uma enguye namhlanje, Ubezokwenza okufanayo.Wazenza qobo lwaKhe waziwa kanjalo njengoMesiya. BaMazikanjalo, ngalowomsebenzi. Bukani, lokho yi…


124 Kunohlobo oluthathu kuphela, izizwe ezintathu zabantu,leso yi, Juda, oweZizwe, nomSamariya. Nalowo ngu—nguHamu,uShemu, nabantu bakaJafethe. Manje, uma silikholwaiBhayibheli, bonke bavela emadodaneni kaNowa, nalelo yiJuda,oweZizwe, nomSamariya.125 Manje, oweZizwe wayengabheke Sama–…naMesiya.Sasinesagila emhlane wethu, futhi sikhonza unkulunkuluwabahedeni. Thina Anglo–Saxon, kanjalonjalo, ngalezozinsuku, sasingabahedeni, amaRoma namaGreki, kanjalonjalo.Sasingabheke Mesiya. Kodwa amaHeberu ayekubhekile, futhiU…126 Khumbulani, kusondezeni lokhu manje. Ubonakala kuphelakulabo abaMbhekile. Ubonakala kuphela kulabo abaMbhekile.Uzenza Aziwe kulabo abaMbhekile.127 Futhi Wazenza Waziwa kumaJuda, izikhathi eziningi.Masiqhubeka kamuva evikini, sithole eziningi izimilo. Kodwakhona manje…128 Manje kunomSamariya, baMbhekile, futhi. NgakhoWayesendleleni yaKhe ebheke ezansi eJeriko, ngakhoWayefanele enyuke ngendlela yaseSamariya, futhi Ufika emziniwaseSikari. Cishe ngeleshumi nanye nqo, noma eleshuminambili, futhi Wathumela abafundi emzini, ukuyothengaukudla.129 Besahambile, owesifazane onegama elibi wasemziniwaphuma, mhlawumbe intombazane enhle. Wayekade cishe,niyazi, wayekade exoshwe ngabazali bakhe nayoyonke into,futhi wayekade engabonanga lutho ebandleni, ngakho njewaziphilisa ngendlela embi, ngokuba namadoda amaningikakhulu. Futhi uza emthonjeni, futhi kwakukhona uJesu ehlezilapho, iJuda.130 Cishe wayebukeka emdadlana kunalokhu ngempelaAyeyikho, ngoba Wayenamashumi amathathu kuphela,futhi siyathola kuJohane oNgcwele 6 ukuthi basho ukuthiWayebukeka sengathi Wayenamashumi amahlanu. Bathi,“Awukevi eminyakeni engamashumi amahlanu ubudala, futhiuthi ubone uAbrahama na?”131 Wathi, “Engakabikho uAbrahama, Ngikhona.” Niyabo?Kodwa kungahle ukuthi, umsebenzi waKhe, kungahle ukubawawenze ubunzima obukhulu kuYe.132 Nango Wayelapho, ehlezi ngale encike udonga, nalonawesifazane uyenyuka wayesethatha encane…Nina enine,ezansi lapha eNingizimu, isigwedlo, niyazi, nesiyindingilizi.Isekhona imithombo emidala emincane khona lapho, futhiindlela efanayo. Futhi kungokubonakala nxazonke okuncane,okufana nakho. Futhi—futhi wehlisa lembiza yamanzi.


133 Nifanele ukubabona labo besifazane. Nina besifazanenikhuluma ngokuhamba ngokuyikho! Ngike ngababonabethatha lezozimbiza, ezimumatha cishe amagalane amahlanu,futhi bazithatha futhi bazibeke phezulu ekhanda labo, eyodwaphezulu lapho. Abeke eyodwa enqulwini eyodwa, neyodwakwenye, bese behamba ngqo, bexoxisana, futhi bangachithingisho iconsi. Bahambe nje kahle njengoba nihlale nibona.134 Manje eMpumalanga, niyabo, abesifazane ababinabesifazane abalungileyo abahambisani ndawonye.Kwehlukilelapha, kodwa—kodwa angeke lapho. Uyaphawulwa,uyaphawulwa. Yilokho kuphela. Uma eke waba nendodaengesiyo, akabe esahambisana. Kodwa lapho…Koniwendawonye konke lapha manje, siyathola, kodwa laphokwakungenjalo.135 Ngakho wayengenakuza nezintombi, zasekuseni.Wayedingeka enyuke cishe emini, ukuba akhe awakhe, amanzi.136 Ngakho waqala ukwehlisa imbiza yamanzi. Kodwakwakukhona imbewu emiselwe ngaphambili kulowo wesifazaneomncane. Wehlisa leyombiza yamanzi, wayesezwa iNdoda ithi,“Ngiphe amanzi. Ngiphuzise.”137 Waphenduka wayeseqalaza, wabona leliJuda. NaleliJuda,mhlawumbe, iNdoda ephakathi nendawo. Angazi ukuthiyini eyayisemicabangweni yakhe ngaleyonkathi. Ngakhowathi, “Ngani, akusilo isiko kuWe, uyiJuda, futhi ucelekimi, owesifazane waseSamariya.” Niyabo, wayengaziukuthi kwa—kwakuyini. Wavele nje…mhlawumbe indodamhlawumbe iyamqinela, ngakho i…Wathi, “Akulona isikokini ningabaJuda.”138 Futhi ngakho ingxoxo yaqhubeka.Wayezama ukwenzani na?Wayezama ukuheha ukunaka kwakhe. UBaba wayeMthumeleenhla lapho, kodwa manje Wayefanele athole ukuthi kunganienhla lapho.139 Babebheke uMesiya. Wayesevele Ezikhombile namaJuda,manje naNgu na—na—namaSamariya.140 Wayesethi, “Akusilo isiko kuwe ukuba—ukuba—ukuba ucelekimi, owesifazane waseSamariya, okunjalo.”141 Ngakho Wathi, “Kodwa ukuba bewazi ukuthi Ubaniobukhuluma kuye, ubuyocela kiMi amanzi. Ngiyokunika amanziamaningi ungezi lapha ukuzokukha.”142 Futhi bahamba bexoxa ngokukhonza. Emva kwesikhashanaWathola ukuthi yayiyini inkathazo yakhe. Sonke siyazi ukuthiyayiyini, amadoda amaningi kakhulu. Wambuka, wathi,“Sifazane, hamba ubize indoda yakho bese uza lapha.”

Wathi, “Anginandoda.”143 Wathi, “Ukhulume iqiniso, ngokuba ubunayisihlanu, naleohlala nayo manje ayisiyo eyakho.”


144 Bhekisisani lowo wesifazane. Bukani umehluko phakathikwakhe naleyonhlangano. Mbhekisiseni njengomuntungamunye. Bhekisisani labobaFarisi, bathi, “LoMuntuunguBelzabule.” Mbukeni. Hhayi yena.145 Waphenduka, wayesethi, “Nkosi, ngiyabona ukuthiUngumprofethi wena.” A, nakho lokho kuKhanya, niyabo.Ngenkathi iNdodana izithela eMbewini, nohlobo oluyilo,kuzoveza ukuPhila, ngokuqiniseke impela nje njengezwe.Kwashaya leyoMbewu kuleyonhliziyo encane yesifebe! Wathi,“Nkosi, ngiyabona ukuthi Ungumprofethi wena. Manje siyaziku…Sesibenamakhulu eminyaka selokhu saba nomprofethi.Futhi siyazi ukuthi nxa uMesiya efika. SiMbhekile. Futhi nxauMesiya efika, yilento Azoyenza.”146 Leso isibonakaliso sikaMesiya. Aniboni na?KwakunguMesiya owayekuMose. KwakunguMesiya owayekuEnoke. KwakunguMesiya kuyoyonke iminyaka. Nguyena izolo,namuhla, naphakade. NguKristu ngaso sonke isikhathi.147 Wathi, “Ngiyazi. Siyazi ukuthi nxa uMesiya efika, yilokhoAzokwenza.”

Wathi, “NginguYe okhuluma kuwe.” O, he!148 Phezu kwalokho, wawisa imbiza yamanzi, wagijimelaemzini, wayesethi, “Wozani, nibone uMuntu Ongitsheleengikwenzile. Kungebesiye yini uMesiya lona impela na?”149 Nabantu balowomuzi, ngaphandle kokubona kwenziwa,wonke umuzi waMkholwa. Kunjalo. Ngani? Isimilo sesimosaKhe salokho Ayeyikho. Wakhonjwa kulowo muzi waseSikari.Wakhonjwa, uMesiya kaNkulunkulu, ngesimo saKhe, isimilosasikuYe. Isizathu, Waye—WayenguNkulunkulu wabaprofethi.WayengumProfethi. WayengumProfethi obonakalisiweyo.Ubehlala enjalo, kusukela phansi onyakeni, ofanayo, futhi umaEnguye izolo, namuhla, naphakade.

Manje ukusheshisa bese ngivala.150 Siyatshelwa, kuZakariya 14:6 nele 7, ukuthi, “Kuyobakhonausuku,” umprofethi waprofetha, “ukuthi zingebizwengemini nobusuku. Ngoluhwaqabele, olukhwantabele,usuku olumnyama, “kodwa ngesikhathi sokuhlwa kuyakubangukuKhanya.” IBhayibheli lasho njalo.

Manje bukani, sengivala.151 Ngokomumo wezwe, ilanga liphumela kubantubaseMpumalanga, kuqala. Liphuma eMpumalanga futhi lishonaeNtshonalanga. Manje ngilandeleni nisondele. Impucukoihambisane nelanga. Sonke siyakwazi lokho, asikwazi na?[Ibandla lithi, “Amen.”—Umhl.]152 Libenjalo neVangeli. IVangeli laqala eMpumalanga.Livela eMpumalanga; lawela, layongena eJalimane, lawelaiMediterranean, layongena eJalimane; lasuka eJalimane,


lawela uMgudu waseNgilandi, layongena eNgilandi;ukusuka lapho, lawela iAtlantic, layongena eUnited States,oGwini lwaseMpumalanga; futhi lihambe laya oGwinilwaseNtshonalanga. Manje iMpumalanga neNtshonalangasekuhlangene.153 Nelanga elifanayo eliphuma eMpumalanga, yilangaelifanayo elishona eNtshonalanga.154 Manje bhekisisani. INdodana iSon, iS–o–n, iphumenjengoMesiya, kubantu baseMpumalanga.155 Futhi manje sibenosuku, selokhu kwaba sekuhambenikwaYo, lwamahlelo nokuhlangana ndawonye, no—nokunjalokanjalo. Sibenokukhanya okwenele njengosuku oluhwaqabeleuma ilanga lifihlwe ngamafu. Futhi babekade benamahlelo.Sakha izibhedlela. Sakha izikole. Sakhe izinhlangano. Senzezonke lezizinto ngayo impela nje indlela esifanele sikwenzengayo.156 Kodwa Wathi, “Ngesikhathi sokuhlwa kuyakubangukuKhanya.” Lowo Jesu ofanayo, emandleni aKhe avukileyo,ayovuka futhi, njengoba Athembisa kuMalaki 4, njengobaAthembisa kuJohane oNgcwele 14:12. Njengoba AthembisakuLuka 17. “Njengoba kwenzeka emihleni yaseSodoma,kuyakubanjalo ekufikeni kweNdodana yomuntu.”157 Bukani ukuthi kwenzekani emihleni yaseSodoma.UAbrahama, lo owayenesethembiso sendodana ezayo, laphasimthola ezansi lapho, futhi siyasibona isibonakaliso esenziwa.158 Ezansi lapho eSodoma, sibonile ukuthi kwenzekeni. Futhiniyazi asikaze…Manje, lapho, uLoti wayengumfanekisowebandla lemvelo, ezansi eSodoma, inhlangano, futhibabenesithunywa ezansi lapho. Kwakukhona izithunywaezingangezimbili ezehlela lapho, uBilly Graham noOral Robertsbesimanje. Futhi niyazi ukuthini? Asikaze sibekhona isikhathi,emlandweni webandla, lapho umuntu ake athunyelwa khonaemhlabeni jikelele ebandleni, negama lakhe liphetha ngo h–a–m,kuze kube yilesisikhathi. UBilly G–r–a–h–a–m, izinhlamvueziyisithupha. UA–b–r–a–h–a–ma izinhlamvu eziyisikhombisa.Kodwa uBilly G–r–a–h–a–m uphumele lapho ngqo eSodoma,ebhaklaza le futhi ebabizela ngaphandle.159 Kodwa, khumbulani, kwakukhona oYedwa ebandlenilikamoya, owayengaphandle, uAbrahama obizelwe ngaphandle.Bhekisisani ukuthi hlobo luni lwesibonakaliso Alunikezayo.Akazange ashumayele okuningi kweVangeli; wavele wabatshelanje ukuthi izithembiso sasiyini eziseduze kokuba yi…FuthiWathi, “Uphi uSara?” Manje, khumbulani, wayenguSarayiusuku ngaphambi kwalokho, futhi wayenguAbramausuku ngaphambi kwalokho. Manje Wathi, “Abrahama,A–b–r–a–h–a–ma, uphi uS–a–r–a na?” hhayi uS–a–r–a–y–i.“Uphi uSara, “inkosazana,” umkakho, uyisewezizwe na?”


Wathi, “Usethendeni, emva Kwakho.”160 Wayesethi, “Ngizonivakashela ngokwesikhathi sokuphila.”161 INdoda edla inyama yethole, yaphuza ubisi oluvelaenkomazini, futhi idla amaqebelengwana ommbila, iphuza ubisi.INdoda, inothuli ezingutsheni zaYo, futhi ihlezi lapho Ifulatheleithende. Yathi, “Uphi uSara umkakho na?”

Wathi, “Usethendeni, emva kwaKho.”162 NoSara wathi, “Mina, isalukazi njengoba ngiyiso,iminyaka eyikhulu ubudala, njengendoda nomfazi sesayekakudala…ukuba nenjabulo nenkosi yami, nayo isindala,futhi na?” IBhayibheli lathi “begugile,” sekube yiminyakaneminyaka. Wayenamashumi amane–nanhlanu eminyakaesadlula ukunqamuka esikhathini, noma ngaphezu kwalokho,mhlawumbe amashumi amahlanu–nanhlanu eminyaka esedluleukunqamuka esikhathini. “Futhi mina ngibe nenjabulo nendodayami, njengowesifazane osemusha na?” Wahlekela ngaphakathi,niyazi.163 Futhi, lokho, yayingenzani leyoNdoda, leyoNdoda ikuleyonyama yomuntu, yathi, “Uhlekeleni uSara na?”164 Kwenzekani na? UAbrahama wabiza leyoNdoda ngokuthiu, “Elohim,” uNkulunkulu uSomandla emelwe esidalweniesingumuntu.165 UJesu iNkosi yethu wathi, “Njengoba kwenzeka emihlenikaLoti, kuyakuba njalo ekuFikeni,” futhi bhekisisani, “laphoiNdodana yomuntu ibonakaliswa, yenziwa yaziwa,” uLuka 17.“Lapho iNdodana yomuntu, ngezinsuku zokugcina, yembulwakhona. INdodana yomuntu yembulwa, iVangeli laYo liYikhombanjengoba kwenzeka emihleni kaLoti.”166 Bukani ukuthi benza kanjani manje, izizweeziphendukezelwe. O, he! Bukani ongqingili, futhi bukaniukuthi sinani manje. Ibandla liyimfucumfucu. Isizwesiyimfucumfucu, nayoyonke into. UNkulunkulu uyayibhodla,kusukela phezulu echosheni phansi ekugcineni komhlaba. Yonkeinto iyimfucumfucu.167 Ngokomumo wezwe, kanti futhi nakokuphathekayo,inkundla iyahlelwa. Akusiso yini isikhathi sokuba uNkulunkuluabuyele enyameni yomuntu, “iZwi elibukhali kunenkembaesika nhlangothi zombili, nelehlulela imicabango nezizindlozenhliziyo,” ukuba libonakale enkundleni, ukwenza uJesuKristu abe nguyena izolo, namuhla, naphakade! YiZwielithenjisiwe elabelwe lolusuku. Siphila kulolusuku,noNkulunkulu ulapha nathi, ukubonakalisa lokho nokukwenzakube yiqiniso.

Asikhothamise amakhanda ethu.168 Baba waseZulwini, Wathi, “Kuyakuba ngukuKhanyangesikhathi sokuhlwa.” SiyaKubona, Nkosi, ngazo zonke


izibonakaliso; izizwe ziyehlukana; uIsrayeli usezweni lakhelendabuko; ukuzamazama komhlaba kuzindawo ngezindawo;izinhliziyo zomuntu ziyehluleka; imiqondo ephendukezelwe;eyonakele ngakulo iQiniso. “Njengo Jane noJambre bamelananoMose,” Wena wathi, “umuntu owonakele inqondo, onikelweezedukisweni ukukholwa amanga futhi alahlwe yiwo.” KodwaWena wethembisa, ngalolosuku, ukuthi Wawuzozenza waziweqobo lwaKho, iNdodana yomuntu iyokwembulwa, uJesu Kristuonguyena izolo, namuhla, naphakade, ngesimilo sesimo saKheesifanayo esaMkhomba kuyoyonke iminyaka.169 Kwangathi Yena, kulobubusuku, Nkosi Nkulunkulu, Johovaomkhulu, Elohim, angehlela kubantu baKho, kulobubusuku,Nkosi. Yehla futhi Uzazise, ukuze amakholwa akholwe.Ukuze abantu baqonde futhi bazi ukuthi Wena usalokhuuhlezi unguNkulunkulu, futhi Unguwe izolo, namuhla,naphakade. Futhi–ke, Nkosi, labo abamiselwe ukuphiliswa,nalabo abamiselwe ukuPhila okuPhakade, bazofinyelela besebebambelela, Nkosi, ngokuba lesi isikhathi sokuvakashelwa.Kwangathi singedlule ngeze. Ngicela eGameni likaJesu Kristu.Amen.170 Bangaki okholwayo ukuthi yiqiniso, lelo yiVangeli na?[Ibandla lithi, “Amen.”—Umhl.] Manje siphila kulolosuku na?Leyo yinto elandelayo. Uma kuyilo, uNkulunkulu ubophezelekengokuqinisa ukulukhomba.171 Manje uma nizonginakisisa. Ngizothi ukuba leyithikancanyana nje, nginitshelile kulobubusuku, mhlawumbeimizuzu eyishumi nanhlanu.172 Sikhipha amakhadi omkhuleko…O A, oA. Kulungile,asiqale ngokushesha okukhulu. U A, wokuqala. Ngizokubizanje ube wedwa ngesikhathi, ukuze ukwazi ukuma ngapha ngqo,uma uthanda. U A, wokuqala. Ubani onekhadi lomkhuleko uA,wokuqala, phakamisa isandla sakho? Manje uma ungakwaziukusukuma, ngizo…abanye babo bazoza bakuthathe. UA, wokuqala, kulungile. Manje woza nje njengoba ubizwa,inombolo yakho nje. Kulungile, uA, wokuqala. Kulungile.173 Owesibili, ungasiphakamisa isandla sakho na? Owesibili,ikhadi lomkhuleko uA, wesibili, phakamisa isandla sakho.Ungeza, nenekazi na? Manje uma kukhona umuntuokhubazekile futhi engakwazi ukusukuma, abangenisibazokuqukula. Owesibili.174 Owesithathu, phakamisa isandla sakho nje. Kuzokongaisikhathi, ngokushesha impela, uma uzobiza…Owesithathu,ungasiphakamisa isandla sakho na? Khona lapha, nenekazi.Owesine, phakamisa isandla sakho, owesine. Umkhuleko…Owesine, woza. Kulungile. Owesihlanu, ikhadi lomkhulekolesihlanu. Khona lapha, nenekazi. Elesithupha.


175 Hhe? Uyakwazi ukuhamba na? Okey. Lokho yi…Noma, mthatheleni isihlalo phansi lapho. Inenekazi liyagula,ngiyacabanga, noma mhlawumbe umyeni walo, noma ngabeubani obehlezi lapho nalo. Noma yi…Lithatheleni isihlalolapho, li…Kulungile.176 Elesikhombisa. Elesishiyagalombili. Eleshiyagalolunye,isishiyagalolunye. Ngithola…Ya, lapha, isishiyagalolunye,isishiyagalolunye. Leshumi, eleshumi, ikhadi lomkhulekoleshumi? Leshumi nanye, leshumi nambili, leshumi nantathu,leshumi nantathu, leshumi nane. Yehlela kwelinye icala ezansilapho, leshumi nane. Leshumi nanhlanu. Kulungile, yana—yanaemva kwabo ngqo.177 Manje nje ake nime umzuzu nje laba baze babe semgqeni,sibone ukuthi sikuphi lapha umzuzu nje. Manje bonke abanyebenu bamba ikhadi lakho nje umzuzu nje.178 Manje bangaki kulelibandla a—abagulayo, futhi bengenaloikhadi lomkhuleko na? Phakamisani izandla zenu kanje.Kulungile.Wonke…Angikhathali ukuthi ukuphi. Kulungile.179 Manje hloniphani ngokuzithoba nje. Manje, bukani,besalayinisa umugqa womkhuleko, nonke nginakisiseni manje.Nifanele nikulalele enginitshela khona. Niyabo? Qaphelani.180 Ngesinye isikhathi kwakukhona owesifazane, uJesuwayedlula edabula izwe Wayesewelela ngaphesheyakolwandle, Wayesengena endaweni futhi kwakunowesifazaneowayenomopho. Futhi bonke abapristi nabo wayephandle,babehlekisa ngaYe, kusobala. Futhi kwakunesigejanephandle lapho esasiMkholwa.

UJesu wama.Wathi, “Ubani oNgithintile na?”186 Futhi bukani ukuthi uPetru wathini, manje, nezihluthulelokuwo uMbuso. Ngamany’amazwi, asikubeke nje ngamazwiosuku lwethu, “Ngani, Nkosi, Usho ezinye zezinto ezimbikakhulu kabi! Awu, labo bantu bazocabanga ukuthi Uyahlanya,kukhona okungalungile.Wonke umuntu uKuthintile.”187 Wonke umuntu wathi, “Halo, Rabi! Awusho, ngabeUngumphilisi ngokukaNkulunkulu na? Usho njalo.
