abafelwa, silala emahlath<strong>in</strong>i, masisho sithi: Udumo kuNkulunkulu kweliphezulu<br />
nokuthula emhlabeni kubantu. UNkulunkulu esimkhonzayo ungophilayo, uyakuzwa<br />
ukukhala kwethu nemikhuleko yethu. Ngakho-ke masikhuleke s<strong>in</strong>gaphezi.<br />
Kulo itekisi lethu lentshumayelo yanamuhla sithola uPawulu uyalobela ibandla<br />
laseKor<strong>in</strong>te, uyalitshela ukuthi uJehova ungo<strong>the</strong>mbekileyo. Akaguquki, unguye<br />
namuhla nayizolo, naphakade uzohlala enguye. Ngakho lokhu sithi uJehova<br />
u<strong>the</strong>mbekile kwabamkhonzayo. Lokhu siyakubona kusukela ensim<strong>in</strong>i yaseEdeni<br />
lapho umuntu esewile esefanele ukufa kwaphakade uNkulunkulu egcwele umusa<br />
nesihawu. Wa<strong>the</strong>mbisa ngokuthi <strong>in</strong>zalo yowesifazane izokuchoboza ikhanda<br />
lenyoka. Okungukuthi uJesu Kristu uyakumnqoba uSathane. Bona-ke abakholwa<br />
nguye, bebhapathizwa egameni lakhe bayakus<strong>in</strong>diswa. Nembala wafika uJesu<br />
ezweni, washumayela ivangeli lokuthi abantu abaphenduke bakholwe, ngokuba<br />
isikhathi sesigcwalisekile. Ababemuzwa <strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gi labo lakholwa nguye, njengalokhu<br />
nathi sikholwa nguye. Nokho kwakukhona abaJuda ababemelene nomsebenzi<br />
kaJesu. Babengakholelwa ukuthi nguye lona uNkulunkulu owa<strong>the</strong>mbisa ukuthi<br />
uzakuzalwa y<strong>in</strong>tombi. Ngakho lokhu uJesu bagc<strong>in</strong>a ngokuba bambe<strong>the</strong>le<br />
esiphambanweni. Igazi lakhe yilo elesula izono. Y<strong>in</strong>gakho-ke iBhayibheli lithi: Uma<br />
sizivuma izono zethu, u<strong>the</strong>mbikile,ulungile ukuba asi<strong>the</strong><strong>the</strong>lele ngenxa kaKristu.<br />
UPawulu uyalitshela ibandla laseKor<strong>in</strong>te ukuthi loJesu amshumayelayo yena,<br />
noSilvano, noThimo<strong>the</strong>wu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu. Ibandla maliqaphele ukuba<br />
lime eq<strong>in</strong>isweni, ngoba loJesu unguyebo. Kanjani nathi esishumayelayo,<br />
sisashumayela yena loJesu owashunyayelwa ngabaphostoli basendulo. Ngakho,<br />
bazalwane, lahlani ukungabaza, nigcwalise ize<strong>the</strong>mbiso uNkulunkulu owazenza<br />
nani. UNkulunkulu o<strong>the</strong>mbekileyo uyabiza ukwe<strong>the</strong>mbeka kithi ngaso sonke<br />
isikhathi. Uyafuna ukuba sime eq<strong>in</strong>isweni, ngoba phela izwi lakhe liyiq<strong>in</strong>iso. Naye<br />
uJesu uy<strong>in</strong>dlela neq<strong>in</strong>iso nokuphila. Uma sibheka izibalo es<strong>in</strong>azo emabandleni ethu,<br />
sithola ukuthi s<strong>in</strong>abantu aban<strong>in</strong>gi abakhona emabhukw<strong>in</strong>i ebandla, kodwa uma<br />
usufuna manje ukubonana nabo, ukhulumisane nabo, kuyamangalisa ukuthola<br />
ukuthi abantu bakhonza ngapha esontweni, emakhaya bakhonza okunye. Ibandla<br />
lize lihlukane phakathi. Abanye bazibona bengcono kunabanye. Konke lokhu<br />
kulethwa ngukungabaza nokungemi eq<strong>in</strong>isweni lokwe<strong>the</strong>mba iNkosi yethu enguJesu<br />
Kristu, im<strong>in</strong>deni iyabhidlika, abantu bayamhlubuka uNkulunkulu, bayakhohlwa<br />
mas<strong>in</strong>yane izi<strong>the</strong>mbiso abazenza embhapathizweni, emq<strong>in</strong>isweni, emshadweni,<br />
ekugcotshweni, nokunye okunjalo. Ngakho lokhu uNkulunkulu akakholwa<br />
18. 12. 2011/ ngesonto 04 esikhath<strong>in</strong>i se<strong>Advent</strong>e - 2 - 04/2012
izi<strong>the</strong>mbiso zami engazenzayo phambi kwebandla, kanjalo nezakho. Koze kube n<strong>in</strong>i<br />
wephula lemiyalelo kaNkulunkulu, nezi<strong>the</strong>mbiso embhapathizweni nasemq<strong>in</strong>isweni<br />
zokuthi uyamala uSathane nezenzo zakhe nemikhuba yakhe yonke, uyanikela<br />
kuNkulunkulu uMthathwemunye; nezi<strong>the</strong>mbiso emshadweni zokuthi nizohlalisana<br />
ngoku<strong>the</strong>mbeka, nize nihlukaniswe ngokufa, nezi<strong>the</strong>mbiso ekugcotshweni<br />
nasekungenisweni emsebenz<strong>in</strong>i webandla zokuthi uzoshumayela ivangeli<br />
ngoku<strong>the</strong>mbeka impela, nokwabela amasakramente ngokwesimiso sawo,<br />
nokufundisa ivangeli ngaphandle kokulixubanisa nokwezidukiso ezizungazungeza<br />
umhlaba namhla, ulifundise, njengalokhu lilotshiwe eBhayibhel<strong>in</strong>i, njengalokhu<br />
licazwa ezivumeni zeKerike ngokobuLu<strong>the</strong>re.<br />
Kakhulu qaphela, ungasho ukuthi uJehova ulibele. Nokho usas<strong>in</strong>ika ithuba lokuba<br />
siphenduke, sibuyele kuye ngokuzithoba okukhulu, yena uzakusamukela futhi.<br />
UJesu uyafuna ukuba siphonsele kuye iz<strong>in</strong>kathazo zethu. Kuyosisiza ngani<br />
ukungena ez<strong>in</strong>dl<strong>in</strong>i zokukhonza, sithwele imithwalo, s<strong>in</strong>gayethuli phambi kwakhe,<br />
kodwa sizame ukuzithalela yona, size sizithole, sesiph<strong>in</strong>dela nayo emakhaya, kanti<br />
besimelwe ukuyethula kuyo iNkosi yamakhosi. Unembeza os<strong>in</strong>dwayo uyambulala<br />
umuntu, uma engafuni ukusizwa. Ake sizwe izwi lanamuhla ukuthi yena usaq<strong>in</strong>isa<br />
isi<strong>the</strong>mbiso sakhe sokuthi uyasi<strong>the</strong><strong>the</strong>lela zonke izono zethu, uyazihlambulula<br />
ngegazi likaJesu embhapathizweni, nasesibikweni, nasesidlweni seNkosi. Leliq<strong>in</strong>iso<br />
lisamenyezelwa evangel<strong>in</strong>i likaJesu Kristu. L<strong>in</strong>gamandla kaNkulunkulu okus<strong>in</strong>disa<br />
lowo nalowo okholwayo.<br />
Ngakho-ke bandla, uNkulunkulu wasigcoba th<strong>in</strong>a ngoMoya oNgcwele<br />
embhapathizweni, wasibeka uphawu lokuba sahlukaniseke kubo abangakholwayo,<br />
ukuze kuthi ngenkambo yethu engcwele engenakusoleka phambi kwabantu<br />
uNkulunkulu adunyiswe. Lomsebenzi wokusiholela kuNkulunkulu siwenzelwa<br />
nguMoya oNgcwele osibiza ngevangeli, osikhanyisayo ngezipho zakhe zamasu<br />
omusa. S<strong>in</strong>gazama ngokwethu, nokho sizohluleka. Sekuyabonakala manje ukuthi<br />
umphostoli uPawulu uthanda ukuvula amehlo ebandla laseKor<strong>in</strong>te ukuba limqonde<br />
kahle uJesu Kristu onguyebo kaNkulunkulu uYise ngoMoya oNgcwele ukuba<br />
ukhona uyasebenza ez<strong>in</strong>hliziyweni zamakholwa, uyavula amehlo awo asuke<br />
ebumnyameni, aphendukele ekukhanyeni, asuke emandleni kaSathane,<br />
aphendukele kuNkulunkulu. Okungukuthi umuntu akhalele izono zakhe, amukele<br />
<strong>in</strong>te<strong>the</strong>lelo ngokukholwa. Lokhu kuyisimemo nakithi namuhla ukuba simbize uMoya<br />
wenkanyiso ukuba athole <strong>in</strong>dawo ez<strong>in</strong>hliziyweni zethu, ukuze ngaye sibone<br />

amaphutha ethu, maqede sicele umusa kuNkulunkulu, sikholwe <strong>in</strong>te<strong>the</strong>lelo egameni<br />
likaJesu.<br />
Sesiyabona manje ukuthi kukhulu uNkulunkulu asihlelele khona siselapha<br />
emhlabeni kulesisikhathi esiphila kuso, njengalokhu esabela imihla yonke izwi lakhe,<br />
elisiq<strong>in</strong>isa ekukholweni ezikhath<strong>in</strong>i zosizi. Masimdumise, simbabaze, ngoba<br />
unenhloso ngathi, makholwa. Uyafuna ukuba izwe lifunde kithi ukuphila okuhle,<br />
libuyisane naye. Isikhathi sentokozo sesisondele, ngokuba sibokube sikhumbula<br />
ukuthi uJesu waba y<strong>in</strong>yama, wakha phakathi kwethu, wasifundisa <strong>in</strong>dlela okufanele<br />
sihambe ngayo. Ngokunjalo sizokhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu izi<strong>the</strong>mbiso zakhe<br />
uyazigcwalisa, njengalokhu uJesu ezozalwa. Makuhlunyeleliswe lolothando<br />
olukuBaba wethu ngokusithumela kwakhe iNdodana ukuba ifele izono zethu <strong>in</strong>to<br />
esas<strong>in</strong>gayifanele th<strong>in</strong>a. Nokho ngomusa wakhe wasis<strong>in</strong>disa. Ngakho lokhu<br />
masifakaze ngaye, s<strong>in</strong>e<strong>the</strong>mba elisha lokuthi uzoqhubeka ngokus<strong>in</strong>ika isibambiso<br />

sihlanziwe ngegazi lakhe, siyizidalwa ez<strong>in</strong>tsha, <strong>in</strong>kambo yethu isiguqukile. Amen.<br />
Umkhuleko: Siyalibonga, Nkosi, izwi lakho, siq<strong>in</strong>ise ngalo ukuba sibekezelele konke<br />
ukuhlupheka esihlangana nakho, sihlahlamelise ngezibusiso zakho, manje kuze<br />
