WE zibizelwe ukunika i isiprofetho ubungqina kwabanye. Kodwa emva koko, awufanelanga ukumangaliswa xa uphathwa njengabaprofeti.

IVangeli yanamhlanje iluhlobo oluhlekisayo. Kuba uYesu uxelela abaphulaphuli bakhe ukuba Akukho mprofeti wamkelekileyo kowabo. Ubungqina bakhe babubonakala kangangokuba bafuna ukumphosa kulawa kwangoko. Kwimeko kwinqanaba, eh?

Ngeli Lwesihlanu uphelileyo bendigxile ubomi bomprofeti sibizelwe ukuba siphile, oko akuthethi ukuba amagama ayimfuneko. Kwakhona, "Ukholo luza kwinto eviweyo, kwaye oko kuviweyo kuza ngelizwi likaKrestu." ^[1]cf. Roma 10: 17 Sive ngeVangeli izolo (ngeCawa) ukuba “AmaSamariya amaninzi kuloo dolophu akholwa kuye [uYesu] ngenxa yelizwi lomfazi owayenikela ubungqina,” kwakhona, Baninzi ngakumbi abakholelwa kuye ngenxa yelizwi lakhe. ” ^[2]cf. Yoh 4:39, 41

Ubungqina bethu nendlela yethu yokuphila lelona "lizwi" linamandla, kwaye yile nto inyaniyo enika ukuthembeka magama. "Abantu bamamela ngokuzithandela amangqina kunabafundisi-ntsapho, kwaye xa abantu bemamela ootitshala, kungenxa yokuba bangamangqina." ^[3]UPAPA PAUL VI, Ukuhambisa ivangeli kwiLizwe lale mihla, n. I-41 Kodwa ke, amazwi ethu kwaye awodwa akanamandla ngaphandle kokuba uMoya oyiNgcwele ukuzo.

Olona lungiselelo lufanelekileyo lomvangeli alunampembelelo ngaphandle koMoya oyiNgcwele. Ngaphandle kukaMoya oyiNgcwele, olona lwimi lukholisayo alunamandla entliziyweni yomntu. —UAPOPE PAUL VI, Iintliziyo zivutha: UMoya oyiNgcwele kwintliziyo yoBomi bobuKrestu namhlanje ngu-Alan Schreck

“Kuba ubukumkani bukaThixo abungomlomo, kodwa ngamandla,” Utshilo uSt Paul. ^[4]cf. 1 Kor 4:20 La mandla eza kuthi mthandazo nokucamngca ngeLizwi likaThixo.

… Phambi kokulungiselela into esiza kuyithetha xa sishumayela, kufuneka sizivumele singene ngelizwi elizakungena nakwabanye, kuba ligama eliphilayo nelisebenzayo, njengekrele… -IPOPE FRANCIS, IVangelii Gaudium, n. I-150

Umthandazo yinto esivumela ukuba siyenze “Yomelezwa ngamandla ngoMoya wakhe ngaphakathi kuye umntu… ukuze uKristu ahlale ezintliziyweni zenu ngokholo.” ^[5]cf. Efe. 3: 16-17 NguKristu ke, ophilayo in wena "othethayo" ilizwi lakhe ngokusebenzisa wena njengoko umema iNkosi, njengakwiNdumiso namhlanje, ukuba “Thumela ukukhanya kwakho” ngomlomo wakho kunye nengqina. Ke ngoku anisathethi ngamazwi nje, kodwa nisebenzisa ikrele loMoya.

Ngeli xesha ke ubungqina bakho buba, isiprofetho Ngeyona ndlela inzima yelizwi. Ke abanye baya kuyamkela le nto uyithethayo-abanye baya kufuna ukukulahla eweni. Kuba lo Kristu uhlala kuwe ngoku ngulo Kristu weeVangeli:

Ndize kungenisa, ndingazisi luxolo kodwa; (Mat. 10:34)

Kodwa okwangoku ungagwebi okwenziwa nguThixo! Thatha uNahaman kufundo lokuqala lwanamhlanje. Wawalahla amazwi omprofeti ekuqaleni. Kodwa xa abakhonzi bakhe kamva bacela umngeni kuye, intliziyo yakhe yayilungele ukwamkela ilizwi kwi ukholo. Waphiliswa. Xa utyala imbewu yelizwi likaThixo, inokuba semva kweminyaka apho abanye “abakhonzi” benkcenkceshela ngayo. Kwaye umbungu-uyantshula!

Ndikhumbula unongendi owandibhalela kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo. Uye wathi ugqithisile enye yemibhalo yam kumtshana wakhe. Wambhalela wambalisela ukuba angaze aphinde athumele loo "nkunkuma" (into elungileyo ukuba mna naye sasingasondeli eweni ngaloo mini.) Kodwa wathi, emva konyaka, wangena kwinkolo yamaKatolika… kwaye yayikukubhala okwaqala konke.

Musa ukoyika ukuba ngabaprofeti bakaThixo namhlanje! Sanukuxhalela amawa namatye, kuba uThixo akasayi kunishiya. Nciphisa, ukuze ande. Funda ukuthandaza, kwaye uthandaze ngentliziyo yakho. Thetha amazwi aKhe, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwexesha. Kwaye shiya isivuno kuYe, kuba uthi…

Liya kuba njalo ilizwi lam eliphuma emlonyeni wam; aliyi kubuyela kum lilambatha, kodwa liya kwenza oko kundikholisayo, lifezekise isiphelo endalithumela lona. (Isa 55:11)
