Njengoba ngicabanga ngesikhathi sami njengomongameli womphakathi wethu wezenkolo, ziningi izibusiso uNkulunkulu asinikeze zona zifika engqondweni yethu. Esinye salezi zibusiso sihlobene negama lethu - iGrace Communion International. Ngicabanga ukuthi iluchaza kahle ushintsho lwethu olubalulekile njengomphakathi. Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, sibe yinhlanganyelo esekelwe emuseni wamazwe ngamazwe, sihlanganyela ekuhlanganyeleni kukaYise, neNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele. Angikaze ngingabaze ukuthi uNkulunkulu wethu onguZiqu-zintathu uye wasiholela ezibusisweni ezinkulu phakathi nalolu shintsho olumangalisayo. Malungu ami athandekayo, abangani nabahlanganyeli be-GCI/WKG, ngiyabonga ngokwethembeka kwenu kulolu hambo. Izimpilo zenu ziwubufakazi obuphilayo boshintsho lwethu.

Esinye isibusiso esiza engqondweni yiso esinamalungu amaningi esikhathi eside angabelana ngaso. Eminyakeni eminingi sithandaze kaningi ezinkonzweni zethu zesonto ukuthi uNkulunkulu asembulele iqiniso lakhe eliningi. UNkulunkulu wawuphendula lo mthandazo - futhi ngendlela emangalisayo! Uvule izinhliziyo nezingqondo zethu ukuqonda ukuqonda okukhulu kothando lwakhe ngabantu bonke. Usibonisile ukuthi uhlala enathi njalo nokuthi ngomusa wakhe ikusasa lethu laphakade livikelekile.

Abaningi babengitshele ukuthi kwase kuyiminyaka bengazizwa izintshumayelo ezikhuluma ngomusa emasontweni ethu. Ngibonga uNkulunkulu ngokuthi kusukela ngo-1995 saqala ukunqoba le nkinga. Ngeshwa, amanye amalungu asabela kabi ekugcizeleleni kwethu okusha emseni kaNkulunkulu, ebuza, "Imayelana nani lezi zinto zikaJesu?" Impendulo yethu ngaleso sikhathi (njengamanje) yilena: "Sishumayela ivangeli ngowasenzayo, owasifela, owasifela, wabuye wavuka, nowasisindisayo!"

NgokweBhayibheli, uJesu Kristu, iNkosi yethu evusiwe, manje usezulwini njengomPristi wethu Omkhulu, ulindele ukubuya kwakhe ngenkazimulo. Njengoba ethembisile, usilungiselela indawo. "Ungesabi inhliziyo yakho! Kholwani kuNkulunkulu futhi nikholwe kimi! Emzini kababa ziningi izithabathaba. Ukuba bekungenjalo, bengizakuthi kini: Ngiya ukulilungisela indawo? Nalapho ngiyonilungisela indawo, ngobuye ngize futhi nginithathe, ukuze lapho ngikhona nani nibe khona. Futhi lapho ngiya khona niyayazi indlela” (Johane 14,1-4). Le ndawo iyisipho sokuphila okuphakade noNkulunkulu, isipho esenziwa yikho konke uJesu akwenza nasazokwenza. NgoMoya oNgcwele isimo saleso sipho sembulwa kuPawulu: “Kepha sikhuluma ngokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu okufihlwe emfihlakalweni uNkulunkulu akumisela ngaphambili kube-yinkazimulo yethu, okungaziwa namunye wababusi balesi sikhathi; ngoba uma babebazi, babengeke bayibethele iNkosi yenkazimulo. Kodwa sikhuluma njengokulotshiweyo (Isaya 6).4,3): »Lokho iso elingakubonanga, nendlebe engakuzwanga, nenhliziyo yomuntu ayikucabangi lokho uNkulunkulu akulungisele abamthandayo.« Kepha uNkulunkulu ukwambulele kithi ngoMoya; ngokuba uMoya uphenya konke, nokujulileyo kukaNkulunkulu” (1. AbaseKorinte 2,7-10). Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu ngokusambulela imfihlo yokuhlengwa kwethu kuJesu - ukuhlengwa okutholakala ngokuzalwa, ukuphila, ukufa, ukuvuka, ukwenyuka kanye nesithembiso sokubuya kweNkosi yethu. Konke lokhu kwenzeka ngomusa - umusa kaNkulunkulu esiwuphiwe ngoJesu nangaye, ngoMoya oNgcwele.

Yize ukuqashwa kwami ​​ne-GCI kuzophela maduzane, ngisaxhumana nomphakathi wethu. Ngizoqhubeka ngisebenze emabhodini e-GCI ase-US nase-UK nasebhodini le-Grace Communion Seminar (GCS), futhi ngizoshumayela endlini yami esontweni. Umfundisi uBermie Dizon wangibuza ukuthi ngingakwazi yini ukushumayela njalo ngenyanga. Ngihlekise naye ngithi yonke le misebenzi ayizwakali njengokuthatha umhlalaphansi. Njengoba sazi, insizakalo yethu akuyona umsebenzi ojwayelekile - iwubizo, indlela yokuphila. Uma nje uNkulunkulu enginika amandla, ngeke ngiyeke ukukhonza abanye egameni leNkosi yethu.

Njengoba ngibheka emuva emashumini ambalwa eminyaka adlule, ngaphezu kwezinkumbulo ezinhle ezivela ku-GCI, nginezibusiso eziningi ezihlobene nomndeni wami. Mina noTammy sibusisekile ngokubona izingane zethu ezimbili zikhula, ziphothula ekolishi, zithola imisebenzi emihle, futhi zishadile futhi zijabule. Umgubho wethu walezi ziqophamlando mukhulu kakhulu ngoba besingalindele ukufinyelela kuwo. Njengoba abaningi benu nazi, ukuhlanganyela kwethu kwakuvame ukufundisa ukuthi ngeke sibe khona isikhathi sezinto ezinjalo - uJesu uzobuya maduze futhi sizothathwa siyiswe "endaweni yokuphepha" eMpumalanga Ephakathi ngaphambi kokubuya kwakhe kwesibili. Ngenhlanhla, uNkulunkulu wayenezinye izinhlelo, nakuba kunendawo eyodwa yokuphepha elungiselelwe thina sonke - iwumbuso Wakhe waphakade.

Lapho ngiqala ukukhonza njengomongameli wehlelo lethu ngo-1995, ngangigxile ekukhumbuzeni abantu ukuthi uJesu Kristu uphakeme kuzo zonke izinto: “Uyinhloko yomzimba, okuyibandla. Uyisiqalo, izibulo kwabafileyo, ongowokuqala kukho konke.” (Kolose 1,18). Nakuba manje sengithatha umhlalaphansi njengoMongameli we-GCI ngemva kweminyaka engaphezu kwengama-23, ngigxile kakhulu futhi ngisazoqhubeka nokuba njalo. Ngomusa kaNkulunkulu, ngeke ngiyeke ukukhomba abantu kuJesu! Uyaphila, futhi ngoba ephila nathi siyaphila.
