Abanye abantu abajatshuliswa iqiniso, abajatshuliswa nakakhulu ukwahlulelwa. Kunalokho, bajatshuliswa ukuba namandla nengcebo; abantu abanjalo kuthiwa ngabathanda ubukhulu. Bafuna ngokukhethekile lawo mahlelo emhlabeni anamagalelo nabefundisi nothisha abavela emakolishi okufundela ubufundisi. Ngaphandle kokwamukela indlela yeqiniso, banokungabaza futhi abakwazi ukuzinikela ngokugcwele. Bakhuluma ngokunikelela uNkulunkulu, kodwa amehlo abo agxile kubefundisi kanye nothisha abaphakeme, bamshaya indiva uKristu. Izinhliziyo zabo zigcwele udumo, ingcebo nokukhazimula. Abakukholwa nhlobo ukuthi umuntukazana angakwazi ukunqoba abantu abaningi, nokuthi ongagqamile kangako angakwazi ukuphelelisa abantu. Abakukholwa nhlobo ukuthi laba bantu abengelutho abaphakathi kothuli nezindunduma zobulongwe bangabantu abakhethwe uNkulunkulu. Bakholwa ukuthi uma abantu abanjalo beyinjongo yokusindisa kukaNkulunkulu, lokho kuyosho ukuthi amazulu nomhlaba kuyophenduka kubheke phansi bese bonke abantu befa insini. Bakholwa ukuthi uma uNkulunkulu ekhethe ukuba kupheleliswe abantu abangelutho kanjalo, lokho kuyosho ukuthi izicukuthwane ziyoba nguNkulunkulu uqobo. Imibono yabo ingcoliswe ukungakholwa; impela, kude nokungakholwa, bayizilwane zasendle eziyiziphukuphuku. Ngoba ukuphela kwezinto abazazisayo isikhundla, ukuhlonishwa kanye namandla; into abayazisa kakhulu amaqembu namahlelo amakhulu. Abanandaba nhlobo nalabo abaholwa uKristu; bangamambuka nje afulathele uKristu, iqiniso kanye nokuphila.

Into oyazisayo akukhona ukuthobeka kukaKristu, kodwa abelusi bamanga abavelele. Awukuthandi ukuthandeka noma ukuhlakanipha kukaKristu, kodwa uthanda izifebe ezigcwele ezweni elikhohlakele. Uyabuhleka ubuhlungu bukaKristu ongenayo indawo yokufihla ikhanda Lakhe, kodwa uyazazisa lezo zidumbu zabantu ezidla iminikelo ziphile emanyaleni. Awuzimisele ngokuhlupheka kanye noKristu, kodwa uya ngenjabulo ezingalweni zalabo abangenanhliziyo abaphika uKristu ngoba bekunika okwenyama kuphela, amagama kuphela, nokulawula kuphela. Ngisho namanje inhliziyo yakho isaphendukela kubo, edumeleni labo, esikhundleni sabo, nasethonyeni labo. Kodwa wena usaqhubeka nesimo somqondo othola ngaso umsebenzi kaKristu ulukhuni ukwamukeleka futhi ungazimiseli ukuwamukela. Kungalesi sizathu ngithi aninalo ukholo lokuvuma uKristu. Isizathu esenza ukuthi nimlandele kuze kube manje ukuthi akukho okunye enaningakwenza. Uchungechunge. lwezithombe eziphakeme enhliziyweni yakho; ngeke ukwazi ukukhohlwa wonke amazwi nezenzo zazo, ngisho namazwi nezandla zabo okunethonya. Enhliziyweni yakho, bayohlale bephakeme futhi bengamaqhawe amakhulu. Kodwa akunjalo ngoKristu wanamuhla. Akabalulekile enhliziyweni yakho futhi akakufanele ukuhlonishwa. Ngoba ujwayeleke kakhulu, unethonya elincane kakhulu, futhi ukude kakhulu nokuphakama.

Izingcaphuno Zezintshumayelo Nokuhlanganyela Okungabhekiswa Kuzo:

Ukulandela uNkulunkulu kusho ukulalela uNkulunkulu kukho konke, ukulalela zonke izinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu, ukwenza ngokuvumelana namazwi kaNkulunkulu, nokwamukela konke okuvela kuNkulunkulu. Uma ukholwa kuNkulunkulu, kufanele-ke ulandele uNkulunkulu; kodwa, ngaphandle kokuqaphela, lapho bekholwa kuNkulunkulu abantu abaningi balandela abantu, okuhlekisa kuphinde kudabukise. Ngamagama aqondile nje, noma ubani abantu abamlandelayo yilowo abakholwa kuyena. Nakuba abanye abantu baye bathi bakholwa kuNkulunkulu, ezinhliziyweni zabo akekho uNkulunkulu; ezinhliziyweni zabo bakhonza abaholi babo. Ukulalela abaholi bakho, futhi baze bafike nasekuphikeni amalungiselelo kaNkulunkulu, kuyisibonakaliso sokukholwa kuNkulunkulu kodwa ulandela abantu. Ngaphambi kokuba bathole iqiniso, inkolo yabo bonke abantu ixoveke futhi yadideka njengalokhu. Baze bangazi nhlobo nokuthi kusho ukuthini ukulandela uNkulunkulu, abakwazi nokubona umehluko phakathi kokulandela uNkulunkulu nokulandela abantu. Bakholwa ukuthi noma ngubani okhuluma izimfundiso ezinhle, neziphakeme, unguyise noma unina; kubona, noma ngubani onobisi ungunina, futhi noma ubani onamandla unguyise. Yile indlela abadabukisa ngayo. Kungashiwo ukuthi, kuya ngokuhluka kwamazinga, yiso lesi isimo sangokomoya sabantu abaningi.

Ikakhulukazi, ngezikhathi ezibucayi, lapho izinkinga ezinkulu zikwehlela, kunesidingo esikhulu nakakhulu sokufuna incazelo kaNkulunkulu, ukuqikelela ukungakhohliswa yizimfundiso zomuntu, kanye nokungaweli ngaphansi kokulawula komuntu. “Lokho okuvela kuNkulunkulu ngiyakulalela futhi ngikulandele, kodwa uma kuvela entandweni yomuntu ngiyakulahla ngaphandle kokunanaza; lapho lokho okushunyayelwa abaholi noma abasebenzi kungqubuzana nezinhlelo zikaNkulunkulu, khona-ke nakanjani ngilandela uNkulunkulu ngilahle abantu. Uma kuvumelana ngokugcwele namalungiselelo kanye nentando kaNkulunkulu, khona-ke ngiyakwazi ukukulalela.” Abantu abenza ngale ndlela yibo abalandela uNkulunkulu.

Kusho ukuthini ukulandela abantu? Ukulandela abantu kusho ukuthi umuntu ulandela abasebenzi noma abaholi ababakhonzayo. UNkulunkulu akanayo indawo eningi ezinhliziyweni zabo; bavele baphanyeka uphawu lokuthi bakholwa kuNkulunkulu, futhi kukho konke abakwenzayo balingisa noma babukele ebantwini. Ikakhulu uma kuyinto ebalulekile, bavumela abantu kube yibo abanqumayo, bavumela abantu balayele isiphetho sabo, bona ngokwabo abacingi incazelo kaNkulunkulu, futhi abakwazi ukuqonda amazwi akhulunywa ngabantu. Inqobo nje uma lokho abakuzwayo kuzwakala kahle, ngakho-ke kungakhathaliseki ukuthi kuyavumelana na neqiniso bayaqhubeka bakwamukele futhi bakulalele. Lezi yizibonakaliso zokulandela abantu. Le nkolo yabantu kuNkulunkulu enjena ayinamigomo, alikho iqiniso ezenzweni zabo, balalela noma ubani okhuluma okunomqondo, futhi ngisho noma izithixo zabo ziphambuka endleleni, babalandela kuze kube sekupheleni. Uma uNkulunkulu elahla izithixo zabo, khona-ke baba nemicabango ngoNkulunkulu, banamathele ngokuqinile ezithixweni zabo. Izizathu zabo ukuthi “kufanele silalele noma ngubani osiphethe; amandla aphambi kwethu angcono kunamandla aphezulu.” Lokhu kuyindlela yokucabanga ephambene, ngamafuphi nje, kodwa-ke banobuduphunga obunjalo-ke abantu abalandela abantu. Labo abalandela abantu abanalo iqiniso. Yilabo abalandela uNkulunkulu kuphela abakholwa ngempela kuNkulunkulu; labo abalandela abantu bakhuleka ezithixweni, baye bakhohliswa ngabantu, futhi ezinhliziyweni zabo akekho uNkulunkulu alikho futhi neqiniso.

Kucashunwe encwadini ethi Ukuhlanganyela Okuvela Kongaphezulu

Labo abalalela abaholi babo kukho konke ngempela baphambukile sebekude noNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zabo. Okunye futhi, abanakho ukuthula phambi kukaNkulunkulu, ababona labo abaphila phambi kukaNkulunkulu futhi bafune iqiniso, abanabudlelwane noNkulunkulu, futhi umgomo oqhuba izenzo zabo ukuba balalele noma ubani okhuluma izinto kamnandi—uma nje kungumholi, bayokwenza.
