LAPHO akusikho ukushumayela ngaphandle kukaMoya oNgcwele. Ngemuva kokuchitha iminyaka emithathu belalele, behamba, bekhuluma, bedoba, bedla nabo, belala eceleni kwabo, futhi bebeka ngisho nasesifubeni seNkosi yethu… abaPhostoli babonakala bengakwazi ukungena ezinhliziyweni zezizwe ngaphandle IPentekoste. Kwaze kwaba yilapho uMoya oNgcwele wehlela phezu kwabo ngezilimi zomlilo lapho umsebenzi weSonto wawuzoqala khona.
Intokazi Iyashanela, UVilhelm Hammershoi (1864-1916)
NGINGU ukuqagela ukuthi iningi labafundi bami linomuzwa wokuthi alingcwele. Lobo bungcwele, ubungcwele, empeleni akunakwenzeka kule mpilo. Sithi, "Ngibuthakathaka kakhulu, nginesono, futhi ngibuthakathaka kakhulu ukuba ngingaze ngiye ezingeni labalungile." Sifunda imiBhalo njengale elandelayo, futhi sizizwe sengathi ibhalwe kwiplanethi ehlukile:
… Njengoba onibizile engcwele, yibani ngcwele ngokwenu kukho konke ukuziphatha kwenu, ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi, “Yibani ngcwele ngoba nami ngingcwele.” (1 Pet. 1: 15-16)
Noma indawo ehlukile:
Ngakho-ke kufanele uphelele, njengoba noYihlo osezulwini ephelele. (Math 5:48)
Akunakwenzeka? Ingabe uNkulunkulu ubengasibuza — cha, umyalo thina — ukuba yinto esingakwazi thina? Yebo kunjalo, kuliqiniso, ngeke sibe ngcwele ngaphandle kwakhe, yena ongumthombo wabo bonke ubungcwele. UJesu wayengagunci:
Mina ngingumvini, nina ningamagatsha. Ohlala kimi, nami kuye, uyakuthela izithelo eziningi, ngokuba ngaphandle kwami ningenze lutho. (Johane 15: 5)
Iqiniso liwukuthi — futhi uSathane ufisa ukuligcina likude nawe — ubungcwele abunakwenzeka nje kuphela, kodwa kungenzeka khona manje.
