Umvavanyi | Intshumayelo kaNeal Frisby | CD #1278 | 09/06/1989 PM

Amen. Yesu, siyakuthanda, ngobubusuku. Umkhulu kangakanani! Nkosi, ukuba wonke umntu ebethanda wonke umntu, ngesele simkile! Ndathandaza ndathi, Nkosi, kukho ukulibaziseka, Nkosi, ngexesha lakho—ukulibaziseka kwenziwa ngabom. INkosi, isandula ukutyhila kum—ngothando olungcwele kuwe njengoko Yatshoyo, siza kuphuma apha. Liyalityaziswa ngenxa yentiyo eninzi njalo njalo. Usibonisa into apha. Bangaphi kuni abayaziyo? Amen. INkosi inkulu ngenene. Uya kukusikelela ngobu busuku.

Ngoku, mamela apha: UMvavanyi. UYesu nguMvavanyi. Uya kuluhlolisisa ukholo lwakho. Uya kuluhlola uthando lwakho Kuye. Unako ukuphicotha ngekrele loMoya, ase umongo nasemathanjeni. Wazi konke ngawe. UnguMvavanyi. Mamela oku: suku ngalunye, imiphefumlo idlulela ngonaphakade. Bahamba ndaweni-nye. Baqhubeka ukusuka apha. Khawucinge nje, usenokuba ngenye imini, wafumana ithuba lokunikela ubungqina komnye umntu. Ulaqaza ngomso, abekho. Baye badlula. Uthi, “Owu, bendinexesha elininzi. Ndandinokunikela ubungqina kubo kangangeminyaka emihlanu. Kanye ngelo xesha ndandilungiselela ukunikela ubungqina, banikezela, abasekho!” Uyabona, unethuba elinye. Umntu ngamnye kuni ubekwe apha ngenjongo. Loo njongo kukuxelela omnye umntu ngevangeli, ubungqina komnye umntu okanye ngewungekho apha. Yile nto akubekele yona apha, kwaye iya kukugcina ngaphandle kweengxaki.

Ngoko, uYoweli 3:14. Sisibhalo esidala esidumileyo esisifunde izihlandlo ezininzi. “Izihlwele [Ndithetha izihlwele, Wathi] entilini yesigqibo; ngokuba isondele imini kaYehova entilini yesigqibo. Jonga imiphefumlo kwintlambo yesigqibo. Ukuba umntu unokuthetha okuthile-kwintlambo yesigqibo, kufuneka usebenze ngokukhawuleza, kuba loo ntlambo yesigqibo kungekudala iza kuphela.

Ngoko ke, uMvavanyi. UYesu wacela ukuzibophelela ngokupheleleyo izihlandlo eziliqela. Mfana, ingaba Wazisusa na izihlwele! Izihlwele zathi shwaka. Wayeyazi kakuhle into amakayithethe ukuze abagxothe. UYesu wacela ukuzibophelela ngokupheleleyo izihlandlo ezininzi. Ewe, uYesu ngokwakhe wanika ukuzinikela okupheleleyo okungaphezulu kwekhulu leepesenti. Walithenga ibandla, iperile enkulu, ngekhulu leepesenti. Wanikela konke. Wayithenga ngayo yonke into. Walishiya izulu. Wanikela ngako konke okwaKhe ngenxa yebandla. Ngenye imini kweza umfana kuYesu, wathi, Nkosi, ndenze ntoni na ukuze ndibudle ilifa ubomi obungunaphakade? UYesu wathi kuye “Mnye kuphela olungileyo.” Lowo nguMoya oyiNgcwele, uThixo. Wayesenyameni apho, kodwa ukuba ubumazi ukuba ngubani na uThixo, ubumazi ukuba ungubani na. Yena, ngokuqonda, uyayazi intliziyo yomntu wonke. Wayesazi ukuba lo mfo wayenezinto [ezinezinto] ezimbalwa, ngoko Wathi, thengisa nje ngoko unako uthabathe umnqamlezo. Yiza, ndilandele. IBhayibhile ithi wayebuhlungu ngenxa yokuba wayenezinto ezininzi. Kodwa ukuba wayefunde izibhalo waza walandela, wayengayi kulahlekelwa nto, kodwa yayiya kuphinda-phindwe kuye ngokwezibhalo ( Mateyu 19: 28 &29 ).

Kwabakho ke elinye ityala. Ke kaloku babesiza kuYesu bevela macala onke, abaFarasi ngeli cala, nabaSadusi ngapha, abakholwayo nabangakholwayo, nazo zonke iintlobo. Babephuma macala onke, besiza kumbamba uYesu. Babezama ukuthetha Naye, bambeke imigibe. Babezama ukuMbambisa, kodwa babengenakuyenza loo nto. kodwa bazibambile, utsho uYehova. Ngoko, lo mthetho weza kuYe; uya kuyifunda yonke apha. Bro. UFrisby wafunda —Mateyu 22:35-40. Bamthuma abaFarisi ukuba ambuze lo mbuzo. UYesu ngewayethethe enye into kuye ngenxa yaso sonke eso siphithiphithi. Ngaxa lithile, wabaxelela ukuba aniboni nto kuba ningabakhokeli abaziimfama. Kodwa ngeli xesha, Walinda. Yonke into inexesha layo elifanelekileyo. Wathi: “Nkosi, nguwuphi na owona myalelo mkhulu,” ukuze arhintyelwe kuye? UYesu wamxelela ukuzinikela ngokupheleleyo, khangela! “Wathi uYesu kuye, Uze uyithande iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela” (indima 37). 'Yabona; laa mfo wayebuya umva phaya ezantsi. 'Yabona; babecinga ukuba baya kuMfumana. Oko kukuzibophelela ngokupheleleyo. Nantso ilapho kanye.

Phulaphula ukuba wathini uThixo, “Nguwo lo umthetho wokuqala nomkhulu” (indima 38). Kumzuzwana odlulileyo, ndingacingi ngayo, ndathi ukuba wonke umntu ebethanda wonke umntu, ngebe singasekho. Nantso into eyibambezela. Iya kuza emva kokuthenwa kwayo yonke into. Ekugqibeleni uya kuhlanganisa iqela Anokuthi alikhuphe. Mzalwana, iya isondela. Umsebenzi omfutshane okhawulezayo, uPawulos wathi, uya kuwenza ekupheleni kwephakade. Indlela aya kuyenza ngayo iyamangalisa. Iya kumphazamisa umtyholi, imlahlekise; Wathi lo ngumthetho wokuqala nomkhulu. “Owesibini ke ufana nawo: Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako” (indima 39). Ngoku, ukuba wonke umntu uyenzile loo nto, iyakuba njengokuba benditshilo ekuqaleni phaya. 'Yabona; nokuba yintoni na, kufuneka uthande abamelwane bakho, abahlobo okanye nokuba bangubani na. Uze ubathande, njengomthetho wesibini, njengawe. Akukho xesha lentiyo okanye nantoni na.

"Kule mithetho yomibini kuxhomekeke umyalelo uphela nabaprofeti” (iv. 40). Ayinakwaphulwa. Ngoku, ngubani onike [obonise] ukuzibophelela ekuthobeleni loo mithetho mibini yokuqala? Musa ukuthi, Amen. Khange ndiyibone apha. Ngubani na kuni? 'Yabona; nguThixo lowo. Ngoku, ukuzibophelela ngokupheleleyo. Ngenene uyibeka apha phantsi. Bayicela; bayayifumana, lonke ixesha. Eli gqwetha alikwazanga ukuphikisa. Yena [iNkosi] wayeyazi imeko yomntu. Yiyo loo nto Wazisa igqwetha. Wayejongene nalo lonke ixoki, i-blackmail, lonke uhlobo lokubulala onokucinga ngalo, igqwetha mhlawumbi laliyiphethe. Yabuzwa ngoko kuye, yathi yona ilungile. Yabona, ubungayi kuba namfuneko yam, kwaye bekungayi kubakho mfuneko yokuba abantu bafakwe entolongweni, ukuba bebeya kuthobela loo mthetho mnye. Kodwa imvelo yomntu yeli hlabathi, abantu kwesi sijikelezi-langa, abangakholwayo abalapha, uyabona, abakwenzi oko.

Yimbuthumbuthu, yimbuthumbuthu entilini yesigqibo. Mamela kakhulu kwaye uya kufumana intsikelelo yokwenyani koku apha. UYesu wathi, kungcono ukubala iindleko xa uza kuwuthwala umnqamlezo. Kwakhona uYesu wathi ukuba uya kulwa okanye uya kwakha inqaba, hlala phantsi ucinge ngoko uza kukwenza. Bala iindleko xa uzibophelela. Ngoku, siza kuthetha ngokuzibophelela apha. Uyakwazo oko? Namhlanje, maKristu, zingaphi iiyure kwikhulu leeyure abazibophelele kuThixo ngomthandazo, ngokunikela ubungqina, ekufuneni nasekuthandeni iNkosi uThixo, ekunquleni iNkosi uThixo ngeentliziyo zabo zonke? Zingaphi iiyure kwiiyure ezilikhulu abenza okuthile eNkosini, into engumsebenzi weNkosi okanye into iNkosi enokukuncoma ngayo? Mangaphi amaKristu azinikeleyo kuloo nto?

Khangela ehlabathini; ehlabathini, unayo ezemidlalo kwibhola ekhatywayo, unika ukuzinikela ikhulu ekhulwini, kwaye uninzi lwabo bafuna, ngenxa yentlawulo abayifumanayo. Kuphume konke, kuphume konke, yabona; ikhulu leepesenti. Umdlali ofuna ibhaso, umdlali ofuna ukuba ngogqwesileyo, uphuma yonke ikhulu leepesenti, ezama ukuyibeka ngaphezulu, uninzi lwabo lwenjenjalo. Abantu abakwimisebenzi ethile bafumana iziqinisekiso kwaye banyuselwe. Baphuma bonke, ikhulu leepesenti ukuzinikela; ihlabathi liyakwenza. Kodwa mangaphi amaKristu azinikela nje kancinane kuYesu? Wema ke, emana ebonisa ukuzinikela, nako konke awayekufundisa. Ngamanye amaxesha, oku kushiywa ngaphandle, kodwa yindlela ayifunayo kwaye yindlela ekuya kushunyayelwa ngayo. Ndibone imizekelo ngokwam amehlo kubantwana bam [nabanye abantwana ngokunjalo]. Bachitha i-8 - 10 iiyure kwikhompyutheni, bezama ukuyiqonda. Kungakanani ukuzibophelela [kuYesu], intwana yesikolo seCawe apha kunye nentwana phaya?

Kuthekani ngabalungiseleli banamhlanje? Kungakanani ukuzibophelela? Zingaphi iiyure abazincamathelise kuThixo? Bathandazela kangakanani abalahlekileyo kunye nabantu abasweleyo ukuhanjiswa? Banomhla othile wegalufa ekufuneka bewelele ngapha, yabona? Kusenokungabikho nto iphosakeleyo kwezinye zezinto abazenzayo, kodwa lixesha abalichithayo endaweni yokuchitha ixesha kunye neNkosi. Basenokuba nesidlo sasemini apha ezantsi. Kufuneka badibane nabantu ababalulekileyo kwaye banentlanganiso, ixesha elininzi lilahlekile. Bangaphi kulo lonke ilizwe ngoku abazinikele kuyo yonke enye into ngaphandle kweNkosi?

Oko kuzibophelela kufuneka kubekho. UYesu wenza yonke into, iperile yexabiso elikhulu. Wathengisa yonke into ngenxa yethu ngegazi lakhe. Yonke into awayenako, wayenzela thina ngegazi laKhe. Bangaphi [abantu] abazimiseleyo ukwenza kancinci? Ke, Wathi kungcono uhlale phantsi ubale iindleko phambi kokuba uze kulo mnqamlezo. Wesuka nje ngephanyazo entliziyweni Yakhe nasengqondweni [ngento] ekufuneka yenziwe. Wayibala [iindleko] waza wayenza. Ngaba unokuthi, amen? Yayingeyonto Wakhubeka kuyo wathi, “Owu bethu, ndivuke ndikwinyama yomntu. Ndivukile ndinguMesiya apha, ngoku kufuneka ndenze oku. Hayi hayi. Uyabona, konke oko ngumbono odlulileyo waKhe. Noko ke, kwafuneka abandezeleke. Ngoko, sibona zonke ezi zibophelelo-iifilimu, ezemidlalo, abadlali kunye nabantu abanikela ngeepesenti ezilikhulu oku kunye nekhulu leepesenti kulo. Kumkholisa kangakanani konke oko emehlweni kaThixo?

Ndiza kukuxelela eli bali malunga nenkwenkwana. Aba bazali babenenkwenkwe encinane, inkwenkwana yokuqala ababenayo. Inkwenkwe encinci yabonisa italente eninzi kakhulu. Ngoko, bamfumanela ivayolin. Inkwenkwe encinci yayidlala ivayolin kwaye yayibonakala ngathi iya iphumelela kuyo. Abazali bathi, “Kufuneka senze okuthile ngale nto. Makhe sibone ukuba singamfumana na umntu onokumfundisa.” Ngoko ke, bafumana okona kulungileyo. Wayesele esidla umhlala-phantsi, kodwa wayengoyena maestro. Bambiza, inkosi. Wathi, "Makhe ndive unyana wakho edlala kwaye ndiya kukuxelela ukuba ndiya." Ekugqibeleni wathi ndiya. Umntwana wayenetalente, ngoko wayeza kumthabatha kwindawo ethile. Inkwenkwe eneminyaka eyi-8 ubudala, iqeqeshe iminyaka eyi-10 kunye nenkosi, eyona nto ingcono kakhulu.

Yafika imini awayevula ngayo njengaseCarnegie Hall, indawo enkulu, ukuze adlale ivayolin. Wenyuka eqongeni; umzuzu neyure ifikile. Eso sakhiwo sasizele qhu—kwaye kwavakala ukuba angayidlala ivayolin. Abanye bade bacinge ukuba unokuba yingqondi. Ungene eqongeni bacimba izibane. Ubungeva umbane usemoyeni. Wakhwela ivayolin waza wadlala ivayolin. Ekupheleni kokudlala ivayolin, baphakama baza bamqhwaba ngehlombe elikhulu. Wabuya ebaleka apho kumphathi weqonga kwaye wayelila. Umphathi weqonga wathi, “Ukhalela ntoni? Umhlaba wonke usemva kwakho phaya. Wonke umntu uyakuthanda.” Ngoko ke, umphathi weqonga wabaleka waphuma waza wabhekabheka. Kodwa inkwenkwana yayimxelele ngaphambili, wathi, "Ewe, kodwa kukho omnye wabo ongaqhwabeli izandla." Ewe, wathi [umphathi weqonga], omnye wabo? Waphuma apho waza wathi, “Ewe, ndiyibonile. Kukho ixhego elinye apho. Akaqhwabeli zandla.” Le nkwenkwana yathi, “Awuqondi.” Wathi, “Yinkosi yam leyo. Ngutitshala wam lowo. Andizange ndimkholise njengoko bendifanele. Nam ndiyayazi, kodwa abantu abayazi.”

Ke, namhlanje, ngubani okholisayo? Ungakholisa uluntu. Usenokukholisa abanye babahlobo bakho. Ungakholisa abantu abaninzi apho ukhoyo. Kodwa kuthekani ngoMfundisi? Kuphi ukuzinikela? Nkqu nenkwenkwe yayizibophelele kuloo nto, kodwa ayizange iluphumelele uvavanyo. Wayezazi iindawo ezithile yena ngokwakhe ngewayebengcono, kodwa isihlwele sasingenakuzibamba, 'yabona? Kodwa inkosi yenjenjalo. Kamva, umele ukuba wamxelela ukuba wenze okulungileyo mhlawumbi, kodwa wamxelela ukuba oko akulunganga ukuba uza kuziphilisa ngayo, nyana. Kukho ibali.

Nanamhlanje kusenjalo. Uyazi, uMoya oyiNgcwele wajonga phantsi, uThixo wajonga phantsi wathi, “lo nguNyana wam oyintanda, mveni kakuhle” ngokuba Wathi, “Ndikholisiwe nguye..” Ndikholisekile—nguMoya lowo uphendulayo…. Ngoku, siphi isibophelelo sakho? Ukholisa bani? Owu, yimbuthumbuthu, yimbuthumbuthu entilini yesigqibo. UYesu wenza imizekeliso emibini. Enye yayimalunga neegusha. Enye yayimalunga nengqekembe elahlekileyo…. Umalusi ushiya iigusha ezingamashumi asithoba anesithoba entlango ukuze akhangele imvu enye elahlekileyo. Umfazi ulahlekelwa yingqekembe aze azame ukuyifumana ngesibane. Uyitshayele indlu yakhe yonke; ibaluleke kakhulu ade ayifumane ingqekembe. Bobabini umalusi nomfazi benza amatheko okubhiyozela—kungekhona uhlobo lwamatheko abawenzayo ehlabathini—kodwa ukubhiyozelwa komoya; into yokuba oko kulahlekileyo kufunyenwe.

UThixo unjalo. UYesu usixelela ukuba kubakho uvuyo ezulwini ngomoni omnye oguqukayo, ngomntu omnye olahlekileyo ofunyenweyo. Ezinjani zona ukumangalisa iindaba ezizizo! Owu, ngenxa yalo, ukuzibophelela, umfazi wayengayi kunikezela ade ayifumane loo ngqekembe. Loo malusi akazange anikezele de ayifumane loo mvu. Inkwenkwe oko kuzibophelela kukho kwabalahlekileyo. Uyabona, kukho abantu abalahlekileyo. Badinga into ethile. Kukho abantu abathwaxwa ziziyobisi. Basezintlungwini, bayagula okanye babhidekile ngokwasengqondweni. Balahlekile, kubi kakhulu. Le yimiphefumlo elahlekileyo. Loo miphefumlo ilahlekileyo imele ifikelelwe. Ungaze ululibale uthando kunye nemfesane ngomphefumlo…. Kukho abantu abalahlekileyo. Yimbuthumbuthu, yimbuthumbuthu entilini yesigqibo. Ukuba uyayithanda iNkosi uThixo ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela; ngoku, bonke aba bantu, abantu emhlabeni abalahlekileyo, yintoni na uYesu abakhathalele? Ngokucacileyo, ukukhathalele kakhulu. Ithi apha, uThixo walithanda kakhulu ihlabathi, wancama uNyana wakhe okuphela kwamzeleyo. Wenza ngcono kunoko; Weza ngokwakhe. Wathi, Ndiyingcambu neNzala. Unam? Ku-Isaya, kwibhayibhile nakwincwadi yesiTyhilelo, iNtsika yoMlilo, iKhwezi eliqaqambileyo lokusa. Ndililifu, Amen.

Wenza ngcono kunoko; WaZisonga kuMesiya, nguye lowo esiza. Wathi uIsaya, Ngubani na oya kukholwa ludaba olunje? UBawo ongunaPhakade! Wathi, Ngubani na oya kukholwa sithi, ukuba sithe sathetha iindaba ezilungileyo ezi? Enjani ukumangalisa, into enamandla ukuba uThixo ayenze, watsho uIsaya! Wayebathanda kakhulu, wanikela ngayo yonke into awayenayo waza walithenga ibandla. Ngaphezulu kwekhulu leepesenti ukuzinikela kunye nokuzinikela okungaphezulu kunokuba abantu banokukunika. Kodwa Undonile, watsho uMoya oyiNgcwele. Ewe mhlekazi, nantso ilapho ngenxa yesiyalo sethu. Nantso ke umzekelo wethu. Abantu abalahlekileyo baya kufunyanwa ngabantu abanenkathalo njengoko uYesu ebakhathalele.

Ngoku, nalu olona vavanyo lokuzibophelela kwethu njengamaKristu: ayikokuya kwethu ngenene nonqulo lwethu, olubaluleke kakhulu njengoko lunjalo. Ayikokuyifunda rhoqo ibhayibhile kuba siyifunda rhoqo. Olona vavanyo lukhulu lokholo lwethu kukuba siwukhathalele kangakanani umphefumlo kunye nehlabathi elilahlekileyo. Kulapho ujinga khona umthetho nabaprofeti. Ukuba unothando olufana nolufanele ukuba nalo, uya kundwendwela abalahlekileyo, usindise abalahlekileyo. Ngabakho? Owu, abantu baya ecaweni izihlandlo eziliwaka. Bayifunda iBhayibhile izihlandlo eziliwaka. Bangazenza zonke ezi zinto, kodwa olona vavanyo lugqibeleleyo…uMvavanyi ligama lalo [umyalezo]. Wathi mandiyibeke phezulu [isihloko].

Uyazi, uPawulos wathi luvavanyeni ukholo lwenu; bona ukuba yintoni engalunganga. UYesu, uMhloli—Ulunge ngakumbi kunaye nawuphi na ugqirha okanye ugqirha wengqondo. Unokujonga ukuba kungakanani ukuzinikela kwakho kunye nokuba umthanda kangakanani na. Ngoba? Ithi ikrele libukhali njengekrele elintlangothi-mbini eliya kugawula libe ngumongo. Ungambaleka njani ungayazi eyona nto uyikholelwayo entliziyweni yakho kwaye ukholwa njani kuye? Ke, yintoni? Uvavanyo lokugqibela kukuba, ukhathalele kangakanani umphefumlo olahlekileyo? Lowo uwusindisayo umphefumlo wakhe, wolahlekelwa nguwo. UYesu uthi alukho uthando olungaphezu kolu lokuba umntu ancame ubomi bakhe. Bangaphi kuni abayaziyo into eyathethwa yibhayibhile ngemfesane? Khumbula ukuba uyithande iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, nangengqondo yakho iphela, nangomphefumlo wakho uphela, nangomzimba wakho uphela. Wathi umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako, kuba umgaqo uphela nabaprofeti baxhomekeke kule mithetho yomibini. Akukho mfuneko yokuba uye phambili. Oko bekuya kuwenza wenziwe umsebenzi.

Ngoku, mamela oku kanye apha: abanye abantu nasebandleni okanye kwilizwe liphela, abakhathali ngabalahlekileyo. Bafuna ukubona wonke umntu efumana okumfaneleyo. Omnye umshumayeli engxakini? Abantu kwisizwe sonke bathi, "Ndicinga ukuba uyifumene into ebemfanele." Ngaba kukho into eyenzekayo emntwini phaya? Bafumene oko kubafaneleyo. Umntu uqumbela umntu ecaweni? Ufumana oko kumfaneleyo. Luphi na ubabalo, utsho uYehova? “Ngendibajikele kuye wonke umntu ndithi, niza kufumana okukufaneleyo.” Kodwa unexesha kunye nendawo yoko kwizibhalo. Uyayifumana le nto imfaneleyo? Uyazi, yindalo yomntu endala leyo. Inokuphakama ngolo hlobo. Kodwa uyazi ntoni? Ukuba uzibophelele ngaphaya kwaloo nkwenkwana inevayolin, wehla kanye. Khumbula ukuba wayezilolonge iminyaka eyi-10, kodwa ndikuxelela ukuba, uvavanyo lokugqibela yinto ocinga ngayo ngelo hlabathi lilahlekileyo. Abo uThixo aya kubanyamekela, Uya kubakhupha apho.

Bafumana oko kubafaneleyo, 'yabona? Ngamanye amaxesha, mhlawumbi, bafanelwe oko. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba baninzi abantu abakwenzayo oko, kodwa [ukwazi njani] ukuba [ukuba] iNkosi ayisebenzi ezintliziyweni zabo kwaye ifuna ukuba beze ekhaya ukuze bahambe naYo? Ujongene nesizwe. Usebenzisana namaqela abantu. Uyasebenzisana. UThixo uyasebenza. Sithetha ngabalahlekileyo. Balibale ngabanye; abahlobo bakho kunye nabanye, kwaye ocinga ukuba ufanelwe le okanye leya, sijongene nabalahlekileyo. Akufanele sibe njalo. Akufanele uthi, “Ke, ufanelwe yile nto [ayifumanayo]. Asazi ukuba abayi kuba ngamaKristu. Simele sibe novelwano ngabanye babo ngendlela uThixo asalathisa ngayo. Ungathi, Amen?

[Bro. UFrisby wathetha ngomboniso omtsha womdlalo apho injongo ephambili yabadlali kukuthumela abaphuli-mthetho ababelwe kubo kwisitulo sombane kwaye bababethe ngombane. Umvelisi uthe lo mdlalo yindlela yokuvumela abemi abakhungathekile ngenxa yolwaphulo-mthetho olunobundlobongela ukuba bajezise izaphuli-mthetho.]. 'Yabona; kukwindalo yomntu ukuziphindezela. Iphi imfesane? Yaya phi? Ngowona mdlalo! Bafake apho kwaye ubabethe ngombane! Uyakwazo oko? Ukuba unovelwano ngomphefumlo olahlekileyo, unokumgcina ngaphandle kwesitulo sombane. Ndiyazi amatyala ambalwa ukuba ukuba uThixo akazange abasindise abantu, ngeba baye entolongweni ubomi okanye isitulo sombane, kodwa ngenceba kaThixo, uSathana akazange akwazi ukuyenza. Unokuba usindisa umntu kwinto embi ngokuba novelwano kuye.

'Yabona; wakhulula abathinjwa ngokubaxelela ukuba bakhululwe ngokwenene. Khulula abathinjwa. Into ekufuneka uyenzile kukukholelwa kwivangeli, ungaphuma uhambe. Andikhathali nokuba ucinga ukuba ukhonza kangakanani [ixesha lokuvalelwa/entolongweni] okanye ucinga ukuba ulahlekelwe kangakanani na, ukhululekile. UYesu ukukhululile. Phuma apho! Ukhululekile ngokwenene. Nabani na uYesu amkhululayo ukhululekile ngenene. Bangaphi kuni abakholwayo ngaloo nto ngokuhlwanje? Kwintlambo yesigqibo, imiphefumlo iya ngapha nangapha.

Ngobu busuku, ngubani okholisayo? Uzimisele kubani? Musani ukuvumela amaqhinga amancinane kasathana anijikise omnye komnye. Nantso into ayenzileyo ukusukela kwixesha lakudala. Abafundi bavukelana kuzo zonke izigaba zebandla, ibandla elinye kwelinye. 'Yabona; ngusathana lowo ezama ukwahlula amandla esiwanikwe nguThixo. Kulula njengaleyo. UMvavanyi-Njengoko iNkosi ihleli, uThixo unguThixo wam, uMsindisi—Wathi mandithathe amanqaku ndiyikhuphe ngoluhlobo. Siyifuna ke loo nto, kuba isiphelo sale nkqubo yezinto siyasondela. Ivalwa ngokukhawuleza kunokuba abantu abaninzi becinga. Ngequbuliso, asisekho! Uya kungqina kubani na? Ngoku yiyure. Ngoku lixesha.

Khumbula uthando—uthando lobuthixo—umthetho nabaprofeti baxhomekeke kwezo zinto zimbini [thanda iNkosi kwaye thanda ummelwane wakho njengoko uzithanda ngako] awathetha ngazo uYesu. Ukuzinikela okupheleleyo: Weza, kwaye Wakwenza oko. Wenza ukuzinikela okupheleleyo ukuze sihlangulwe kwaye ngobu busuku sikhululekile ngokwenene. Ukuthi awukhululekanga kukubiza uThixo ngexoki. Ukhululekile, kodwa awufuni ukukhululwa. Kufana nomntu ozama ukukunika isitshixo, iLizwi likaThixo, uze ungasisebenzisi. Esi sijikelezi-langa siphela sikhululekile ngenene, kodwa abazukuphuma baye kubukumkani bukaYesu…. Enjani yona iyure kwiindlela ezinkulu nakwiihedi nakuyo yonke indawo! Enjani yona iyure yokuphumelela abalahlekileyo!

Ndithandaza ngentliziyo yam yonke kuyo yonke imithandazo yam. Andazi ukuba zingaphi izicelo endizithandazeleyo. Abantu bacela ukuhamba nzulu ngakumbi noThixo. Bacela [mna] ukuba bathandazele umyeni wabo okanye intsapho yabo. Bandicela ukuba ndithandazele iimeko zokugula, kwaye abanye abantu bacela ukuba ndithandaze, ndithandazele imiphefumlo. Eli lixesha lokuthandazela abantu abalahlekileyo. Iyure afuna ngayo oku ngakumbi kwimbali ngoku!

Ngaba uyazi ukuba abafundi babecinga ukuba bazinikele kuThixo. Kanti, eMyezweni waseGetsemane, uYesu wanika ikhulu leepesenti ukuba igazi liphume ebusweni Bakhe. Wabila. Wathi, “Aninako na ukuzibophelela iyure enye emthandazweni?” Akazange athobe nalinye kuzo naxa zithe saa, naxa zafikelwa luloyiko. Akukho namnye kubo owamthobayo, ngaphandle kokuba ngulowo ufuna ukuzithoba. Injalo loo nto, Yuda. Kwakufuneka ukuba kube ngokubonelela ukuba kube njalo [ngaloo ndlela].

Ngoko sifumanisa oku, kuYoweli 3:14 : “Iimbumbulu, yimbuthumbuthu entilini yesigqibo, kuba isondele imini kaYehova entilini yesigqibo.” Wathi uYesu, Wakhangeleni amasimi akhona. Wathi, zikhangeleni, ngokuba zivuthiwe ukuba zivunwe. Uthe iqonga lilungile. Ungaqalisi ukuzithethelela uthi ngomso. Wathi, ngoku! Wayethetha ngesiphelo sethu sexesha eliya kusifikela ngeli xesha. Khangela phaya ngaphandle kwizihlwele nezihlwele zabantu! Eso sibhalo sesadlulayo, sangoku nakwixesha elizayo.

Ke, sinayo apha: imiphefumlo edlulayo isiya kumaphakade. Ngaba uya kuzibeka phambi kweNkosi? Ngaba uza kubeka enye into phambi kobungqina okanye ukusindisa okulahlekileyo okanye ukuthandaza-ukuzinikela ukuba uyamthanda uThixo ngentliziyo yakho yonke nangengqondo yakho iphela? Ngaba uzimisele ukuzinikela ngolo hlobo okanye uza kumyeka usathana aqhubeke ekuwisa, aqhubeke ekubethelela phantsi? Bangaphi kuni abakholwayo ukuba uYesu umelwe kukuba eze kuqala? Wafundisa oko. Akukho mphefumlo apha unokuchasana nezi zibhalo kuba Yena ungqina ngaphakathi kwam ukuba kwathethwa kanye njengoko uMoya wayefuna ukukuzisa.

UMhloli—nguYesu. Zihlolisise uze ubone ukuba yintoni na ekusilelayo. Ngoku sisekupheleni kwephakade. Njengoko benditshilo, ihlabathi linika ikhulu leepesenti ukuzinikela kwinto abayenzayo. AmaKristu, kulo lonke ilizwe kulindeleke ukuba azinikele ngekhulu leepesenti kuyo yonke into eNkosini. Ndikuxelela ntoni; ezinye zazo aziyi kuba njalo xa Ebiza phaya phezulu. Sikwiyure yokugqibela. UThixo makabe nguMvavanyi apha ngobu busuku. Hayi indlela ekuvuya ngayo ezulwini ngomoni eba mnye, engokreqileyo! Owu bethu, hayi iNkosi yethu!

Namhlanje bangaphi na kuni abakholisa ihlabathi okanye bakholisa izihlobo ezithile, bekholisa oku, umsebenzi okanye ukukholisa leya, kodwa aniyikholisa iNkosi? 'Yabona; nantso into eza kubalwa. "Kodwa mhlekazi, awuqondi. Loo ndoda ngumfundisi-ntsapho wam.” Wemka ke elila. Ndithi kuni eli lixa uThixo asibiza ngalo. Khumbula oko uYesu wakuthethayo ngothando lukaThixo xa wayeqalisa oku. Engqondweni yam, ndathi ukuba wonke umntu ebethanda wonke umntu, yabona; ngesasihambile. Uvavanyo lokugqibela; musani ukuyilibala le nto, utsho uYehova, nithini na ngemiphefumlo elahlekileyo? Khangela umfazi ophethe ingqekembe ekulo mzekeliso uze ukhangele kwindoda eyaya yathabatha imvu elahlekileyo. 'Yabona; ke, ucinga ntoni bantu bam ezingekangeni? Oku kukuzibophelela kwakho. Olo lolona vavanyo lukhulu lokholo lwakho.

Ke, kule ntshumayelo, ndinikele ngako konke ebendinako. Andikhathali nokuba ichaphazela bani okanye yintoni engahambi kakuhle. Ndaxelelwa ukuba ndiyenze kwaye ndiya kuyenza [ndayenza]. Ndiyakholwa ukuba Ukholisiwe. Kodwa ukuba bendilicezele igama elinye, igama elinye Andixelele ukuba ndilithethe ndaze andalithetha, ngoko bendinokuthi, “Aniqondi. NguMphathi wam lowo.” Ndifuna ukuba ngolo hlobo noThixo kulo myalezo ngokuhlwanje. Onjani wona umyalezo! Kuya kutyala into emphefumlweni wakho ongasoze uyilibale. Kuya kuba nawe. Kuya kukunceda ngempilo. Kuya kukunceda ukuba ubambelele elusindisweni olungakumbi, amandla angakumbi, nentambiso engakumbi evela eNkosini.

Ke, ngobu busuku, masithandazeleni imiphefumlo yeli hlabathi kuba lifikelela kuvuthondaba. Esi sizukulwana siyakhawuleza ukuphuma. Sijonge koyena Mkhulu, iNkosi uYesu. Silungiselela ukuguqulelwa. Lixesha lokuba senze umsebenzi wethu. Ndizakuthandaza ngokuhlwanje ukuba nonke nizinikezele ekuthandazeni, nibeke iNkosi kuqala apho malunga nemiphefumlo, ukunikela ubungqina, ukumbamba, nokumamela le ntshumayelo. Abo benze konke ababenako, basebenze konke ababenako, uyazi ukuba baya konwaba, itsho iNkosi, xa besiva oku. 'Yabona; ayisayi kuchaphazela wonke umntu ngendlela efanayo kuba abanye babo babulawelwe ukholo; bafe besebenzela uYehova. Badiniwe kukusebenzela iNkosi. Baya kukuvuyela ukuva oku. Oku kulukhuthazo kuwe, ukomeleza uThixo afuna ndikuxelele kona ngobu busuku.

Wathi, “Mqondisi-mthetho, yithande iNkosi uThixo wakho ngentliziyo yakho iphela, ngomphefumlo, nangengqondo nangomzimba wakho uphela. Inkwenkwe, Wathi, kulapho umthetho nabaprofeti bajinga khona kanye apho. Ngoko ke, ndiza kukuthandazela. Mthande ngokuhlwanje xa ulapha ezantsi. Bulela uYesu kuba isandla sakhe sikuwe kwaye uyakukhokela kwaye uya kukukhokela. Uya kuninyamekela nonke. Inkosi inisikelele nonke. Yehla! Onjani uYesu!
