KUSUKELA ukwethulwa kokubonakaliswa kwansuku zonke kwe-Now Word Mass, ukufundwa kwale bhulogi kukhuphuke kakhulu, kwengeza ababhalisile abangama-50-60 isonto ngalinye. Manje sengifinyelela amashumi ezinkulungwane inyanga ngayinye ngeVangeli, futhi abaningana babo bangabapristi, abasebenzisa le webhusayithi njengezinsizakusebenza.
Le yinkonzo yesikhathi esigcwele kimi, izinsuku eziyisithupha ngesonto. Ukusa kwami ngikuchitha emthandazweni, kanye nosuku lonke ekubhaleni nasekucwaningeni. Ngakho-ke, kufanele ngithembele ngokuphelele manje eminikelweni kanye nenani elincane lokuthengiswa komculo wami nencwadi esitolo esiku-inthanethi. Njengoba ngabhala ekwindla edlule, mina nomkami sesithengise ipulazi lethu, futhi besilokhu sidayisa yonke impahla yethu, ngaphandle kwezinto ezibalulekile, ukuze sinciphise izindleko zethu zokuphila ngangokunokwenzeka. Sihlela ukuthuthela e-Atlantic Canada, lapho ingcebo ingaphansi kwesimo sokucindezeleka, ukuze sithole indlu enkulu ngokwanele inkonzo yethu nomndeni wethu ngaphandle kokuthola isikweletu esikhulu esinaso manje. Senza konke okusemandleni ukwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi ngingaqhubeka ngithembeke kubizo lukaKristu empilweni yami lokuba “ngunogada” ngalesi sikhathi sekwephuzile, futhi ngihambise Ukudla Kwakhe Komoya Emhlambini.
Kepha ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, ngaphandle kokukhuphuka ngokushesha kokufunda nokucinga nsuku zonke, inkonzo yethu, enesisebenzi esisodwa nezindleko eziningi zanyanga zonke, ibilokhu isilele emuva kakhulu. Ungakhumbula ukuthi ehlobo eledlule sethule umkhankaso wokucela abafundi be-1000 ukuthi banikele ngama- $ 10 nje kuphela ngenyanga ukuhlangabezana nezibopho zethu zanyanga zonke futhi babe nokwanele ukuqhubeka nokwenza izinsiza ezintsha. Inombolo yokugcina engiyishicilele ukuthi besingu-81% wendlela eya enhlosweni yethu. Kodwa-ke, ngayeka ukushicilela inani lethu ngoba saqala ukuthola lokho kuphela isigamu kwalabo ababethembise ukunikela babekwenza lokho, kanti abanye bebeshiya phansi. Lokho kusho ukuthi wehla izinkulungwane eziningana zamaRandi njalo ngenyanga. Mina noLea sikwazile ukuqhubeka nokuthengisa izinto zethu, kepha nazo lezo ziyaphela ngokushesha.
Ngiyazi ukuthi lezi yizikhathi ezinzima. Ngisho izinkulungwane ezinhlanu zemali iyimali eningi kwabanye abantu kulezi zinsuku. Into yokugcina engifuna ukuyenza ukuba ngumthwalo wezezimali kunoma ngubani. Yingakho engikubhalayo namavidiyo ami mahhala ngokuphelele - alikho izindleko eVangelini. Abafundi bokucabanga kwami kwansuku zonke kungenzeka ukuthi babonile nokuthi bengithumela izingoma zami kancane kancane ngaphandle kwezindleko. Ngifuna ukwenza konke okusemandleni ami ukondla imiphefumulo ngalokho uNkulunkulu anginike khona…. kodwa futhi nginezingane eziyisikhombisa ezisasele ekhaya okufanele nami ngizondle.
Abafundi abajwayelekile lapha bayazi ukuthi angizenzi izikhalazo zezezimali kaningi. Iminyango eminingi namuhla ithumela izicelo zeminikelo masonto onke, futhi kwesinye isikhathi ngaphezu kokukodwa, futhi lokho kulungile. Angifuni ukulahlekelwa ababhalisile ngoba sebekhathele ukungizwa ngicela usizo. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngeke bezwe konke kimi uma ngiqhubeka nokubomvu.
Ngiyacela, labo kini abahlupheka ngokwezimali — ngicela ningithandazele. Kepha labo abakwazi ukunikela, ngidinga ukuthi nisebenzisane nomsebenzi wami ukuze imali, noma ngithi, ukungabi bikho kwayo, kungabi yisithiyo.
Ngibonga wonke umuntu oye wasekela ngezincwadi zakho, imithandazo, neminikelo. Siya phambili, usuku ngalunye ngesikhathi, ngomusa kaNkulunkulu.
Umusa nokuthula, inceku yakho kuKristu,
