WE babizelwa ukunikeza i isiprofetho fakaza kwabanye. Kepha-ke, akufanele umangale uma uphathwa njengabaprofethi.

IVangeli lanamuhla empeleni lihlekisa. Ngoba uJesu utshela abalaleli bakhe ukuthi "Akukho mprofethi owemukelwa endaweni yakhe." Ubufakazi bakhe babukhanya kakhulu kangangokuba babefuna ukumphonsa eweni ngaso leso sikhathi. Case iphuzu, eh?

Ngenkathi ngoLwesihlanu olwedlule ngigxile kwi impilo engokwesiprofetho sibizelwe ukuhlala, lokho akusho ukuthi amagama awadingeki. Futhi, "Ukukholwa kuvela kulokho okuzwakalayo, futhi okuzwakalayo kuza ngezwi likaKristu." ^[1]isib. Rom 10: 17 Sizwile kwiVangeli layizolo (ngeSonto) ukuthi “AmaSamariya amaningi akulelo dolobha aqala ukukholelwa [kuJesu] ngenxa yezwi lowesifazane owafakaza,” futhi, Abanye abaningi baqala ukukholwa kuye ngenxa yezwi lakhe. ” ^[2]isib. Joh 4:39, 41

Ubufakazi bethu nendlela yethu yokuphila "yizwi" elinamandla kakhulu, futhi yikho kanye lokhu okuyiqiniso okunikeza ukwethembeka amagama. "Abantu balalela ngokuzithandela kofakazi kunothisha, futhi lapho abantu belalela othisha, kungenxa yokuthi bangofakazi." ^[3]UPAPA PAUL VI, Ukushunyayelwa Kwevangeli Emhlabeni Wanamuhla,n. 41 Kepha-ke, amazwi ethu ngaphakathi kwawo ngokwawo awanamandla ngaphandle kokuthi uMoya oNgcwele ukuwo.

Ukulungiswa okuphelele kovangeli akunamphumela ngaphandle kukaMoya oNgcwele. Ngaphandle kukaMoya oNgcwele, ulimi olukholisa kakhulu alunamandla enhliziyweni yomuntu. —I-POPE PAUL VI, Izinhliziyo Zishisa: Umoya Ongcwele Enhliziyweni Yempilo YamaKristu Namuhla ngu-Alan Schreck

“Ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu awukhulumi ngenkulumo kepha ngamandla,” Kusho uSt Paul. ^[4]isib. 1 Kor 4:20 La mandla eza kithi ngokusebenzisa Umthandazo nokuzindla ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu.

… Ngaphambi kokulungiselela lokho esizokusho ngempela lapho sishumayela, kudingeka sizivumele singene kulelo gama elizongena nakwabanye, ngoba liyigama eliphilayo nelisebenza, njengenkemba… —I-POPE FRANCIS, Evangelii Gaudium, hhayi. 150

Umthandazo yilokho okusivumela ukuthi sikwenze “Qiniswa ngamandla ngoMoya wakhe kumuntu wangaphakathi… ukuze uKristu ahlale ezinhliziyweni zenu ngokukholwa.” ^[5]isib. Efe. 3: 16-17 NguKristu, ke, ophilayo in wena "okhuluma" izwi Lakhe ngokusebenzisa wena njengoba umema iNkosi, njengakuHubo namuhla, ukuthi “Thumela ukukhanya kwakho” ngomlomo wakho nofakazi. Lapho-ke empeleni awusakhulumi amazwi nje, kepha usebenzisa inkemba kaMoya.

Yilapho ufakazi wakho eba, futhi, isiprofetho ngomqondo obucayi wegama. Ngakho-ke, abanye bazokwamukela okushoyo — abanye bazofuna ukukulahla eweni. Ngoba uKristu ofanayo ohlala kuwe manje unguKristu ofanayo wamaVangeli:

Angizelanga ukuletha ukuthula kepha inkemba. (Math 10:34)

Kepha ungahluleli ngalesi sikhathi ukuthi uNkulunkulu wenzani! Thatha uNahamani esifundweni sokuqala sanamuhla. Wawalahla amazwi omprofethi ekuqaleni. Kepha lapho izinceku zakhe kamuva zimphonsela inselelo, inhliziyo yakhe yayikulungele ukwamukela izwi ku ukholo. Wayesephulukiswa. Uma utshala imbewu yezwi likaNkulunkulu, kungaba yiminyaka nje kamuva lapho ezinye “izinceku” ziyinisela. Futhi inselo — iyamila!

Ngikhumbula indela elangibhalela eminyakeni embalwa edlule. Uthe udlulisele omunye wemibhalo yami kumshana wakhe. Wambhalela futhi wamtshela ukuthi angalokothi aphinde athumele leyo "doti" (into enhle yena nami asizange sisondele eweni ngalolo suku.) Kodwa wathi, ngemuva konyaka, wangena enkolweni yamaKatolika… futhi yilokho kubhala okwaqala konke.

Ungesabi ukuba ngabaprofethi bakaNkulunkulu namuhla! Ungakhathazeki ngamawa namatshe — uNkulunkulu akasoze ashiya uhlangothi lwakho. Nciphisa, ukuze Akhule. Funda ukukhuleka, uthandaze ngenhliziyo yakho. Khuluma amazwi Akhe, ngaphakathi nangaphandle kwesizini. Bese-ke shiyela isivuno kuYe, ngokuba Uthi…

Kuyakuba njalo nezwi lami eliphuma emlonyeni wami; awuyikubuyela kimi ungaphethe lutho, kepha uyakwenza engikuthandayo, ufeze lokho engikuthumele kona. (Isaya 55:11)
