OVER emasontweni ambalwa edlule, ukuzindla lapha kungenzeka kube nzima ukuthi ukufunde — futhi iqiniso ukuthi ngikubhale. Ngisacabanga ngalokhu enhliziyweni yami, ngezwa:
Nginikela la mazwi ukuze ngixwayise futhi ngihambise izinhliziyo ekuphendukeni.
Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi abaPhostoli babelana ngokungakhululeki okufanayo lapho iNkosi iqala ukubachazela ngezinsizi ezazizokwenzeka, ushushiso olwaluzofika, kanye nesiyaluyalu phakathi kwezizwe. Ngingacabanga nje uJesu eqeda ukufundisa kwakhe kulandelwa ukuthula okude ekamelweni. Kwathi kungazelelwe, omunye wabaPhostoli wathi:
"Jesu, usenayo leyo mifanekiso?"
UPeter uyadumzela,
"Ukhona ofuna ukuyodoba?"
Futhi uJuda ufuna ukwazi,
"Ngiyezwa kukhona okuthengiswayo kwaMowabi!"
UHLU LWEZIMALI LOTHANDO
Umlayezo weVangeli ngempela uyinhlamvu eyodwa enezinhlangothi ezimbili. Uhlangothi olulodwa lukhulu umlayezo kaMercy—UNkulunkulu owandisa ukuthula nokubuyisana ngoJesu Kristu. Lokhu yilokho esikubiza ngokuthi "Izindaba Ezinhle." Kuhle ngoba, ngaphambi kokuza kukaKristu, labo abalele ekufeni bahlala behlukanisiwe noNkulunkulu endaweni "yabafileyo", noma eShiyoli.
Phenduka, Jehova, usindise umphefumulo wami; ngikhulule ngenxa yomusa wakho. Ngoba ekufeni akukho ukukhunjulwa ngawe; Ngubani ongakudumisa endaweni yabafileyo? (IHubo 6: 4-5)
UNkulunkulu waphendula ukukhala kukaDavide ngesipho esimangalisayo, esingenakuqondakala sempilo yaKhe esiphambanweni. Akunandaba ukuthi isono sakho noma esami sibi kangakanani, uNkulunkulu usinikeze izindlela zokusigeza futhi senze izinhliziyo zethu zihlanzeke, zihlanzeke, zibe ngcwele, futhi zikufanelekele ukuphila okuphakade kanye Naye. Ngegazi laKhe, nangamanxeba aKhe, sisindisiwe, uma nje sikholwa kuye, njengoba athembisa eVangelini.
Kunolunye uhlangothi lwale mali. Umlayezo — nothando oluncane — uthi uma singasamukeli lesi sipho sikaNkulunkulu, sizohlala sihlukanisiwe Naye kuze kube phakade. Kuyindlela ye- isixwayiso enikezwe uMzali onothando. Kwesinye isikhathi, noma nini lapho isintu noma umuntu ngamunye ephambuka kude necebo Lakhe lensindiso, uhlamvu lwemali kufanele luphenywe umzuzwana, futhi umlayezo Wokwahlulela kukhulunyiwe. Nanku futhi umongo:
Ngokuba iNkosi iyamyala lowo othandayo; ushaya yonke indodana ayivumayo. (Hebheru 12: 6)
Ngiyabona, nezingane zami, ukuthi kwesinye isikhathi isisusa esiphumelelayo ukwesaba ukujeziswa. Akuyona indlela enhle kunazo zonke, kepha kwesinye isikhathi kuyindlela ye- kuphela indlela yokuthola impendulo. IVangeli liyimali eyodwa enezinhlangothi ezimbili: "Izindaba Ezinhle" kanye nesidingo 'sokuphenduka.'
Phendukani, futhi nikholwe ezindabeni ezinhle. (UMarku 1:15)
Futhi-ke namuhla, uJesu usixwayisa nge imimoya yenkohliso okuya ngokuya kuba ngokuya engalawulwa emhlabeni, kuqhubeka inqubo ye- ukuhlunga labo abenqaba iVangeli nalabo abakholwayo. Kungumusa kaNkulunkulu okusilungiselela futhi usixwayise ukuthi lokhu ukuhlunga kuyenzeka, ngoba ufisa ukuthi "bonke basindiswe."
Lokho kusho ukuthi, ngikholwa ukuthi siphila esikhathini esibaluleke kakhulu somlando kunezizukulwane ezedlule.
UKUBALULEKA KWEZIXWAYISO
Yize singeke sazi ngokuqinisekile, kubonakala sengathi empeleni siya kulezi zikhathi ezabikezelwa kithi emiBhalweni. Emasontweni ambalwa edlule, ngiwazwile futhi la magama:
Othile usanda kungithumelela incwadi yemilayezo okusolwa ukuthi ivela kuMary, izambulo zangasese ezinikezwe imvume yezenkolo. Inamakhasi acishe abe yinkulungwane, kepha leli engilivulile ngathi
Nginikeza izingelosi zokukhanya kwenhliziyo yami engenacala umsebenzi wokukuletha ekuqondeni kwale micimbi, njengoba sengikuvulele iNcwadi evaliwe. —Umlayezo oya kuFr. UStefano Gobbi, n. 520; Kubapristi, Amadodana Athandekayo Enkosikazi Yethu, Uhlelo lwesi-18 lwesiNgisi
Kepha wena, Daniyeli, gcina isigijimi kulo, uyibambe le ncwadi kuze kube-sesikhathini sokugcina; abaningi bayokuwa, ububi bande. (Daniyeli 12: 4)
Kungakho uJesu engazange akhulume ngemifanekiso uma kukhulunywa "ngezinsuku zokugcina." Wayefuna ukuthi siqiniseke ngokuphelele ukuthi abaprofethi bamanga nenkohliso zazizofika ukuze sazi okufanele sikwenze: okungukuthi, sihlale siseduze neQiniso alinikwe nguMalusi Wakhe Oyinhloko, uPeter, uPapa Wakhe, nalabo babhishobhi ngokuhlanganyela naye. Ukuthembela ngokungenamkhawulo esiheni sakhe saphezulu. Ukuhlala eDwaleni, uKristu neBandla laKhe!
Konke lokhu ngikutshele wena ukuthi ungagudluki. (Johane 16: 1)
Uyamuzwa uMelusi ekhuluma nathi ngothando? Yebo, usitshele lezi zinto - hhayi ukuthi "asesabise isihogo" kithi - kepha ukuthi ahlanganyele nathi iZulu. Usitshele lezi zinto ukuze "sihlakaniphe njengezinyoka" njengoba ubusika bokomoya busondela… kepha "sibe mnene njengamajuba" njengoba silindele ukugcwala "kwentwasahlobo entsha" ezayo.
UNKULUNKULU ULAWULA
Ungacabangi ngisho umzuzwana ukuthi uSathane usenamandla namuhla. Isitha sisebenzisa ukwesaba ukukhubaza amakholwa amaningi, ukuvala ithemba, ukubulala injabulo. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uyazi ukuthi i- Ukushisekela iSonto empeleni kuzoletha okuhle Uvuko, futhi unethemba lokuthi ukwesaba kuzobangela abaningi ukuba abaleke eNsimini.

Isihogo siyathuthumela, asinqobi.
UNkulunkulu ulawula ngokuphelele, icebo Lakhe elingcwele liyavela, ikhasi ngalinye, ngezindlela ezithokozisayo, kepha ezethusayo IVangeli liyimali eyodwa enezinhlangothi ezimbili. Kepha ekugcineni, izindaba ezinhle zizobhekwa.
Qaphelani ukuthi izinhliziyo zenu zingazeli ekudleni nasekudakweni nasezinkingeni zempilo yemihla ngemihla, futhi lolo suku lunganifica njengesigibe. Ngoba lolo suku luyohlasela wonke umuntu ohlala ebusweni bomhlaba.
