Ukwakhiwa kombuso kuqondiswe ngqo esimweni sikamoya. Ngamanye amazwi, impi yesimo sakomoya icaciswa ngokuqondile kubo bonke abantu Bami, futhi kulokhu kungabonakala ukuthi bonke abantu bahlala belwa, hhayi emasontweni kuphela, kodwa nakakhulu ngeNkathi Yombuso futhi kulokho yize umuntu esenyameni, isimo sakomoya sivezwa ngqo futhi umuntu uhlanganyela empilweni yesimo sakomoya. Ngakho, uma uqala ukwethembeka, kumele uzilungiselele ingxenye elandelayo yomsebenzi Wami ngokwanele. Kumele unikezele ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ukuze ukwazi ukwanelisa inhliziyo Yami. Angizikhathazi ngalokho okwakwenziwa umuntu esontweni ngaphambilini; namuhla, sekusembusweni. Ohlelweni Lwami, uSathane akakaze wachoboza izithende zesigaba ngasinye futhi ekummiseni ngokobuhlakani Bami, ubelokhu ezama ukuthola izindlela zokuphazamisa uhlelo Lwami lokuqala. Kodwa bengingavumela amaqhinga akhe alahlekisayo? Konke okusezulwini nokusemhlabeni kukhonza Mina—ingabe amaqhinga kaSathane alahlekisayo bengahluka? Yilokhu impela okuyimpambano yobuhlakani Bami, yikho kanye okumangalisayo ngezenzo Zami futhi wumgomo engenza ngawo zonke izinhlelo Zami zokuphatha. Ngesikhathi sokwakhiwa kombuso, nalapho bengingabalekeli amaqhinga kaSathane alahlekisayo kodwa Ngiqhubeke nomsebenzi obekumele Ngiwenze. Phakathi kwazo zonke izinto emhlabeni jikelele, Ngikhethe umsebenzi kaSathane njengalokho Engizokumisa. Akusibo ubuhlakani Bami lokhu? Akukhona okumangalisa ngempela ngomsebenzi Wami? Ngosuku lokungena eNkathini Yombuso, kwenzeka ushintsho olukhulu kakhulu kuzo zonke izinto ezisezulwini nasemhlabeni, futhi bayabungaza bathokoze. Ingabe wena wehlukile? Ngubani ongabuzwa ubumnandi obufana noju esifubeni sakhe? Ngubani ongathokozi enhliziyweni yakhe? Ngubani ongadansi ngentokozo? Ngubani ongawakhulumi amazwi endumiso?
Kukho konke engikhulume ngakho nengikhulume ngakho ngenhla, ingabe uyazithola izinhloso kanye nokuqala kwamazwi Ami, noma awukuqondi? Ukuba Angikubuzanga ngalokhu, abantu abaningi bebengakholwa ukuthi ngiyahhema nje futhi bebengeke bakwazi ukuthola umthombo wamazwi Ami. Uma uwacabangisisa, uzokwazi ukubaluleka kwamazwi Ami. Ungenza kahle impela uma ungawafundisisa: Ymaphi kuwo azoba yinzuzo kuwe? Yimaphi angezukukukhulisa empilweni? Yimaphi kuwo angakhulumi ngeqiniso lakomoya? Abantu abaningi bakholwa ukuthi amazwi Ami akanasidingo, babona ukuthi akanayo incazelo nokucaciswa. Ingabe amazwi Ami akacacile futhi akaqondakali ngempela? Ingabe uwathobela ngokweqiniso amazwi Ami? Ingabe uwamukela ngempela amazwi Ami? Ingabe uwathathisa okwamathoyizi akho? Ingabe uwasebenzisa njengezembatho zokufihla ububi bakho? Kulo mhlaba obanzi, ngubani owake wangicubungula ngokuqondile? Ngubani owake wezwa amazwi oMoya Wami ngqo? Ngakho abantu abaningi bazulazula ebumnyameni, abaningi bathandaza phakathi kwesixakaxaka, abaningi babuka benethemba kodwa belambile futhi begodola, abaningi bebanjwe uSathane kepha abaningi bangase bangazi ukuthi baphendulephi, ngakho abaningi Bayangilahla ngenxa yentokozo, abaningi ababongi futhi abaningi bethembeke emaqhingeni kaSathane alahlekisayo. Ngabe ubani phakathi kwenu onguJobe? Ngubani onguPetru? Kungani ngiphinde ngabala uJobe? Futhi kungani ngikhulume ngoPetru kaningana? Ngabe nake naliqonda ithemba Lami enginibekele lona? Kumele uchithe esinye isikhathi esiningana ucabanga ngalezi zinto.
UPetru wayethembekile Kimi iminyaka eminingi, kepha akazange angunuze noma abe nenhliziyo ekhonondayo, futhi noJobe wayengelinganiswe naye. Kuyo yonke iminyaka yabangcwele, nakhona, akekho oke wafinyelela kuye. Akazange nje alandele ulwazi Ngami kodwa wakwazi Ukungazi ngesikhathi uSathane ayeqhuba amaqhinga akhe alahlekisayo. Lokhu kwaholela eminyakeni eminingi yokwenziwa komsebenzi efuna inhliziyo Yami uqobo, ngenxa yalokho akazange axhashazwe uSathane. UPetru wayesusela okholweni lukaJobe, kepha wayebona nalapho ayesilele khona. Yize uJobe wayenokukholwa okukhulu, wayengenalo ulwazi ngezinto zakamoya futhi wayesho amazwi amaningi engahambisani nalokho okwakuqhubeka; lokhu kuveza ukuthi ulwazi lwakhe lwaluseluncane futhi engenakulungisiswa. Futhi uPetru wayehlala efuna ukuqonda umoya futhi wayehlala eqapha okunhlobonhlobo ngendawo yakomoya. Ngenxa yalokhu, akakwazanga ukuqonda okuthile ngezifiso Zami kodwa wayeqonda okuncane ngamaqhinga kaSathane okulahlekisa, ngakho ulwazi lwakhe Ngami lwalulukhulu kakhulu kunabo bonke abanye abantu abake baba khona.
Kusukela kulokho okwenziwa uPetru, akunzima ukubona ukuthi uma umuntu efisa Ukungibona, kumele agxile ezintweni zakamoya kakhulu. Angikuceli ukuthi unikele Kimi kakhulu ngaphandle; lokhu kuyinto elandelayo ekhathazeka ngayo. Ukuba bewungangazi, kusho ukuthi konke ukukholwa, uthando, ukwethembeka okhuluma ngakho kuyimicabango nje, akusilo iqiniso futhi unesiqiniseko sokuthi ukuze ube umuntu oziqhenyayo phambi Kwami kodwa ongazazi futhi uzoqhubeka nokuhlwithwa uSathane futhi uvumele ukuzikhipha; uzoba indodana yasesihogweni futhi uzoba into yokushabalalisa. Kodwa uma ubanda futhi ungawagqizi qakala amazwi Ami, kusho ukuthi uphikisana Nami. Lokhu kuyiqiniso futhi ungenza kahle uma ubheka ngesango lokomoya emimoyeni eminingi noma embalwa esolwa Yimi. Ingabe yibaphi kubo abangenzanga lutho, futhi abanganakekelanga, nabangawamukelanga amazwi Ami? Yibaphi kubo okade bedelela amazwi Ami? Yibaphi kubo abangazane bazame ukubamba amazwi Ami? Yibaphi phakathi kwabo abangawasebenzisanga amazwi Ami njengesikhali sokuzivikela okumele sizivikele ngawo? Abazange balulandele ulwazi Ngami ngamazwi Ami, kodwa asetshenziswa njengamathoyizi okudlala. Kulokhu, abaphikisananga nami ngokuqondile? Ngobani abangamazwi Ami? Ubani uMoya Wami? Ngezinye izinkathi engibe ngabhekana nalowo mazwi kuwe, Njengoba sesibonile izingane zethu ezineminyaka angaphezu bese uyisuse. Ingabe wake wabhekana nalokho ngaphambilini? Kukukhumbuza futhi: uma engawazi amazwi Ami, ningamamukeli futhi ukuze asetshenziswe, ukungahlulwa kwakho kuba into yesijesizo Sami. Uzoba isisulu sikaSathane ngempela!
