Uma umuntu ehluleka ukususa lezo zinto ezingaphakathi kuye eziyimibono yenkolo, khona-ke zizoba yisithiyo esikhulu ekutheni umuntu asebenzele uNkulunkulu. Abantu abanemibono yenkolo abanayo indlela yokuhambisana nezinyathelo zomsebenzi woMoya oNgcwele, basilele emuva ngesinyathelo esisodwa, bese ziba zimbili – ngoba le mibono yenkolo yenza umuntu azibone engolunge ngokweqile futhi abe nenkani. UNkulunkulu akakulangazeleli lokho akukhuluma nakwenza endulo; uma kungasasebenzi namuhla, khona-ke uyakususa. Ingabe uzokwazi ngempela ukudedela imibono yakho? Uma ubambelela emazwini kaNkulunkulu awakhuluma endulo, ngabe lokhu kufakazela ukuthi uyawazi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu? Uma ungakwazi ukwamukela ukukhanya kukaMoya oNgcwele namuhla, futhi kunalokho unamathele ekukhanyeni kwasendulo, ingabe lokhu kungafakazela ukuthi ulandela ezinyathelweni zikaNkulunkulu? Ingabe usehluleka ukudedela imibono yenkolo? Uma kunjalo, uzoba ngumuntu ophikisana noNkulunkulu.
Ngokukhula ekuphileni kwakho, ulahla udrako omkhulu obomvu futhi umhlazisa ngokuphelele, futhi yileyo kuphela indlela yokuhlaza ngempela udrako omkhulu obomvu. Uma ulangazelela kakhudlwana ukwenza amazwi kaNkulunkulu, buba bukhulu ubufakazi bothando lwakho ngoNkulunkulu kanye nokunengwa udrako omkhulu obomvu; uma ulalela kakhudlwana amazwi kaNkulunkulu, buba bukhulu ubufakazi bokulangazelela kwakho iqiniso.

UNkulunkulu akakulangazeleli lokho akukhuluma nakwenza endulo; uma kungasasebenzi namuhla, khona-ke uyakususa. Ingabe uzokwazi ngempela ukudedela imibono yakho? Uma ubambelela emazwini kaNkulunkulu awakhuluma endulo, ngabe lokhu kufakazela ukuthi uyawazi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu? Uma ungakwazi ukwamukela ukukhanya kukaMoya oNgcwele namuhla, futhi kunalokho unamathele ekukhanyeni kwasendulo, ingabe lokhu kungafakazela ukuthi ulandela ezinyathelweni zikaNkulunkulu? Ingabe usehluleka ukudedela imibono yenkolo? Uma kunjalo, uzoba ngumuntu ophikisana noNkulunkulu.
Uma umuntu engadedela imibono yenkolo, khona-ke angeke asebenzise umqondo wakhe ukuze akale amazwi nomsebenzi kaNkulunkulu namuhla, futhi kunalokho uzolalela ngokuqondile. Yize umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu wanamuhla ubonakala ungafani nalowo wasendulo, uyakwazi ukudedela imibono yasendulo futhi ulalele umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu namuhla ngokuqondile. Uma ukwazi ukubonakalisa lolu lwazi uphakamisa umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu noma ngabe wasebenza kangakanani ngaphambilini, khona-ke uba ngumuntu odedele imibono yakhe, olalela uNkulunkulu, futhi okwazi ukulalela umsebenzi namazwi kaNkulunkulu futhi ulandela ezinyathelweni zikaNkulunkulu. Kulokhu, uzoba umuntu olalela ngempela uNkulunkulu. Awucubunguli noma awuwucwaningi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu; kuba sengathi uma uNkulunkulu ewukhohliwe umsebenzi Wakhe wangaphambilini, futhi nawe, uwukhohliwe. Isikhathi samanje ngesamanje, futhi esidlule ngesidlule, futhi njengoba namuhla uNkulunkulu ubeke eceleni lokho akwenza endulo, kumele ungagxili kukho. Yilapho kuphela oyoba umuntu olalela ngokugcwele uNkulunkulu futhi odedele imibono yakhe yenkolo.
Ngoba kuhlala kunokusha okuvelayo emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu, ngakho kunomsebenzi omusha, futhi kunanomsebenzi ongasasebenzi namuhla nomdala. Lo msebenzi omdala nomusha uyaphambana, kodwa uyaphelelisana; isinyathelo ngasinye silandela esokugcina. Ngoba kunomsebenzi omusha, izinto zakudala kumele, nakanjani, zisuswe. Isibonelo, ezinye izinqubo zakudala kanye nokwakuvame ukushiwo umuntu, kuhlanganiswe nalokho umuntu abhekana nakho eminyakeni eminingi eyadlula kanye nezimfundiso, kwakhe yonke inhlobo yemibono emqondweni womuntu. Kodwa okuyimpumelelo enkulu ekwakhekeni lena mibono komuntu wukuthi uNkulunkulu usazobudalula ubuso Bakhe ngokugcwele kanye nesimo esiyisisekelo kumuntu, kuhlanganiswe nokwenabisa, eminyakeni eminingi, kwezimfundiso ezindala zangesikhathi sasendulo. Kungcono ukuthi, ngesikhathi sokukholwa komuntu kuNkulunkulu, umthelela wemibono enhlobonhlobo uholele ekuqhubekeni kokwakhiwa nasekuguqulweni kolwazi olukumuntu okulo kukhona zonke izinhlobo zemibono emayelana noNkulunkulu – okunomphumela wokuthi abantu abaningi abasontayo abasebenzela uNkulunkulu sebephenduke izitha Zakhe. Ngakho, ukuqina kwemibono yenkolo kwabantu, kudala ukuthi baphikisane ngokwengeziwe noNkulunkulu, futhi baba yizitha ezinkulu zikaNkulunkulu. Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu uhlala umusha futhi awukaze ube mdala, futhi awukaze wakhe imfundiso futhi, kunalokho, uyaqhubeka nokushintsha futhi uzenze musha kakhulu noma kancane. Lo msebenzi uvezwa yisimo esiyisisekelo sikaNkulunkulu Uqobo. Futhi kuyisimiso esiyisisekelo somsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, kanti ungenye yezindlela uNkulunkulu afeza ngazo umsebenzi Wakhe wokuphatha. Ukuba uNkulunkulu bengasebenzi ngale ndlela, umuntu bengeke ashintshe noma akwazi ukumazi uNkulunkulu, futhi uSathane bengeke aze ahlulwe. Ngakho, emsebenzini Wakhe bekuqhubeka nokuba noshintsho olubonakala lwenzeka njalo, kodwa oluye lube ngolwesikhathi esithile. Indlela umuntu akholelwa ngayo kuNkulunkulu, nokho, yehluke kakhulu: Unamathela ezimfundisweni nasezinhlelweni ezindala, ezejwayelekile, futhi uma zizindala kakhulu zihlwabusa kakhulu kuye. Kungenzeka kanjani ukuthi umqondo onobuwula womuntu, umqondo ongaguquki njengetshe, wamukela umsebenzi omusha ongaqondakali kanye namazwi kaNkulunkulu? Umuntu uzonda uNkulunkulu ohlala emusha futhi ongakaze abe mdala; uthanda uNkulunkulu wakudala kuphela onezinwele ezimhlophe nonganyakazi. Njengoba uNkulunkulu nomuntu banalokho abakuthandayo ngokwabo, umuntu usephenduke isitha sikaNkulunkulu. Okuningi kwalokhu kushayisana kusakhona nanamuhla, ngesikhathi lapho uNkulunkulu kade enza umsebenzi omusha ngaso esicishe sibe iminyaka eyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha. Ngakho-ke, kungaphezu kwesisombululo. Kungenzeka ukuthi kungenxa yenkani yomuntu, noma ubungcwele bemithetho yokuphatha kukaNkulunkulu okwenziwa umuntu – kodwa labo befundisi basabambelele ezincwadini nasemaphepheni amadala akhuntile, kube uNkulunkulu uqhubeka nomsebenzi Wakhe wokuphatha ongaphelele kube sengathi bekungekho muntu ongasohlangothini Lwakhe. Nakuba lokhu kushayisana kwenza uNkulunkulu nomuntu babe yizitha, futhi bangabi nakho ukubuyisana, uNkulunkulu akanandaba nhlobo, sengathi bebekhona kube bebengekho. Umuntu, nokho, usanamathela ezinkolelweni nasemibonweni yakhe, futhi akayidedeli nhlobo. Kube kunento eyodwa esobala: Yize umuntu engasuki ezenzweni zakhe, izinyawo zikaNkulunkulu zihlala zinyakaza futhi uhlala eshintsha izenzo Zakhe ngokwendawo, futhi ekugcineni, umuntu uyohlulwa engalwanga. Ngaleso sikhathi, uNkulunkulu uyisitha esikhulu kubo bonke abantu Bakhe abehluliwe, futhi ungumnqobi esintwini esehluliwe kanye nakulabo abasazokwehlulwa. Ubani ongaqhudelana noNkulunkulu bese enqobe? Imibono yomuntu kubukeka sengathi ivela kuNkulunkulu ngoba eminingi yayo yavela ekuqaleni komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Kube uNkulunkulu akamxoleli umuntu ngenxa yalokhu, noma, phezu kwalokho, akenzi ukuthi umuntu adunyiswe ngokukhiqizela “uNkulunkulu” imikhiqizo engaphandle komsebenzi kaNkulunkulu. Kunalokho, unengeka kakhulu ngemibono yomuntu kanye nezinkolelo ezindala, nezokukholwa, futhi ulushaya indiva ngisho nosuku lapho lena mibono eyaqala ukuvela ngalo. Akakwamukeli nhlobo ukuthi le mibono yabangelwa umsebenzi Wakhe, ngoba imibono yomuntu isabalaliswa umuntu; umthombo wayo imicabango kanye nomqondo womuntu, futhi akuyena uNkulunkulu, kodwa uSathane. Inhloso kaNkulunkulu beyiselokhu ingeyokuthi umsebenzi Wakhe ube musha futhi uphile, ungabi mdala futhi ufe, nokuthi enza ukuthi umuntu abambelele kukho kwahlukaniswa ngokweminyaka nezikhathi, kungabi ngokwangunaphakade futhi kube ngokungashintshi. Lokho kwenziwa wukuthi Yena unguNkulunkulu owenza umuntu aphile futhi abe musha, kunodeveli owenza ukuthi umuntu afe futhi aguge. Ingabe anisakuqonda lokhu? Unemibono ngoNkulunkulu futhi uyehluleka ukuyidedela ngoba awufuni ukwamukela. Akusikho ukuthi kwenziwa ukuqonda umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu kancane, noma ngoba umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu ungahambisani nomuntu – noma, phezu kwakho konke, yingoba uNkulunkulu uhlala ebudedengu emsebenzini Wakhe. Ukuthi awukwazi ukudedela imibono yakho ngoba untula kakhulu ukulalela, futhi awunawo nomncane umfanekiso wesidalwa sikaNkulunkulu, futhi hhayi ngoba uNkulunkulu ekwenzela izinto zibe nzima. Konke lokhu kudalwe nguwe, futhi akuhlangene nhlobo noNkulunkulu; konke ukuhlupheka namashwa kudalwe umuntu. Izinhloso zikaNkulunkulu zihlala zizinhle: Akafisi ukukwenza uveze imibono, kodwa ukufisela ukuthi ushintshe futhi uguqulwe njengoba kuhamba iminyaka. Kodwa awukwazi ukubona umehluko, futhi uhlala ucwaninga noma ucubungula. Akusikho ukuthi uNkulunkulu ukwenzela izinto zibe nzima, kodwa ukuthi awunakho ukwesaba kokuhlonipha uNkulunkulu, futhi ukungalaleli kwakho kukhulu kakhulu. Isidalwa esincane ngeke size silinge sithathe ingxenyana yalokho owawukunikwe uNkulunkulu ngaphambilini, bese sikuthathe sihlasele uNkulunkulu ngakho – ingabe lokhu akukhona yini ukungalaleli komuntu? Umuntu, singasho ngokungachemi, akafanelekile nhlobo ukuveza imibono yakhe phambi kukaNkulunkulu, futhi akafanelekile ukuqhamuka nanoma yini engenamsebenzi, enukayo, ebolile akuzwa sengathi – kungangasho lutho ngaleyo mibono ekhuntile. Ayive iyinto engelutho kakhulu?
Umuntu osebenzela uNkulunkulu ngokweqiniso umuntu olandela inhliziyo kaNkulunkulu futhi olungele ukusetshenziswa uNkulunkulu, futhi okwazi ukudedela imibono yakhe yenkolo. Uma ufisa ukudla nokuphuza amazwi kaNkulunkulu ukuze uthele izithelo, khona-ke kumele udedele imibono yakho yenkolo. Uma ufisa ukusebenzela uNkulunkulu, khona-ke kubaluleke nakakhulu ukuthi uqale udedele imibono yakho yenkolo futhi ulalele amazwi kaNkulunkulu kukho konke okwenzayo. Umuntu osebenzela uNkulunkulu kumele abe nalokhu. Uma ungenalo lolu lwazi, kuyothi uma sewusebenza, ubangele kube nokuphazamiseke kanye nokuthikamezeka, futhi uma uqhubeka nokubambelela emibonweni yakho, nakanjani uyolahlwa phansi uNkulunkulu, ungaphinde ukwazi ukuvuka. Thatha okwamanje, njengesibonelo. Okuningi okukhulunyiwe kanye nomsebenzi wanamuhla akuhambisani neBhayibheli, futhi akuhambisani nomsebenzi owenziwa uNkulunkulu ngaphambilini, futhi uma ungakulangazeleli ukulalela, ungase uwe noma kunini. Uma ufisa ukusebenza ngokuvumelana nentando kaNkulunkulu, kumele uqale udedele imibono yenkolo futhi ulungise imibono yakho uqobo. Okuningi okukhulunywe ngekusasa kuzoqhathaniswa nalokho okwashiwo endulo, futhi uma manje ungasafisi ukulalela, ngeke uze ukwazi ukuhamba ngendlela engaphambili. Uma enye yezindlela zikaNkulunkulu seyingene yagxila kuwe futhi ungayidedeli, khona-ke le ndlela izogcina seyiwumbono wakho wenkolo. Uma lokho uNkulunkulu ayikho kugxile ngaphakathi kuwe, khona-ke uzobe sewuthole iqiniso, futhi uma amazwi kanye neqiniso likaNkulunkulu kungakwazi ukuba impilo yakho, ngeke usaba nemibono ngoNkulunkulu. Labo abanolwazi lweqiniso ngoNkulunkulu ngeke babe nayo imibono, futhi ngeke bagcine imfundiso.
