INtshumayeli 9:5. Baninzi kakhulu abakholelwa kwinto yokuba imimoya yabafileyo ingoomoya ababusayo, bethunywe ukuba balungiselele abo baza kuba ziindlalifa zalo usindiso. Hebhere 1:14.ItE 51.1

Inkolo yokuba imimoya yabafileyo iyabuya ilungiselele kwabaphilileyo ivule indlela yokungena konqulo Iwangoku Iwemimoya. Ukuba abafileyo banikwa ingqondo edlula ngaphaya kwengqondo abakha banayo, kungani ukuba bangabuyi bazokufundisa abaphilayo? Ukuba imimoya ijikeleza phakathi kwezihlobo zabo, kungani ukuba ingathethi nazo? Abo bakholelwa ukuba ingqondo iyasebenza ekufeni, kungani ukuba bakwale ukukhanya okungcwele xa bekunikwa yimimoya engcwele? Lijelo eli elithatyathwa ngokuba lingcwele, (ijelo) athi asebenze ngalo uSathana.ItE 51.2

lingelosi ezawayo zibonakala njengabathunywa abasuka kwilizwe lomoya, zibonakaliswea njengezihlobo ezabandulelayo. Baninzi abathuthuzelwa yingqinisekiso yokuba abo babathandayo bonwabe ezulwini. Bathi bengakrokrele ngozi, baphulaphule “oomoya abalahlekisayo, neemfundiso zeedemoni.” 1 Timoti 4:1.ItE 51.3

Abo bangena engcwabeni bengafanelekanga, babanga ukuba bonwabile yaye bakwindawo eziphezulu ezulwini. Abakhohlisi abazindwendwe eziphuma kwilizwe lemimoya benza izilumkiso ezikhohlisayo. Kuthi, njengokuba kuya kuqina ukubathemba, bangenise iimfundiso ezisingela phantsi iziBhalo. Le nto yokuba bakhe bathethe inyaniso, ngamaxesha athile, baxele iziganeko ezizayo, inika imbonakalo yokuthembeka, yenze loo nto ukuba zamkeleke iimfundiso zabo zobuxoki. Umthetho kaThixo ubekwa ecaleni, uMoya wobabalo ujongelwe phantsi. Imimoya iyabukhanyela ubuthixo bukaKristu aze uMdali abekwe kudidi olulingana nale mimoya.ItE 52.1

Nangona kuyinyaniso ukuba iziphumo zamaqhetseba ziye zibekwe endaweni yezibonakaliso zenene, kukho khona izibonakaliso ezikhohlakeleyo. Baninzi abakholelwa ukuba unqulo Iwabemimoya yinto nje abazenzelayo abantu abanobuqhinga . Bathi ke bakugaxeleka kwezi zibonakaliso, banyanzeleke ukuba bazithabathe njengezivela ngase’’Ntla”, balahlekiswe ke, bazamkele njengezivela kumandla amakhulu kaThixo.ItE 52.2

Ngoncedo lukaSathana, abakhafuli bawenza unomgogwana womsebenzi kaThixo. Bona ku-Eksodus 7:10-12. U-Pawulosi uyangqina ukuba ukuza kweNkosi kuye, “kwandulelwa ziziganeko ezingokokusebenza kukaSathana, ngayo imisebenzi yonke yamandla, nemiqondiso, nezimanga zobuxoki, nangako ukulukuhla konke kokungalingisi. “2 Tesalonika 2:9,10. U- Yohane uthi, “Lenza imiqondiso emikhulu, ukuze lihlise nomlilo emazulwini uze emhlabeni phambi kwabantu, libalahlekise abo bemiyo phezu komhlaba, ngemiqondiso elayinikwayo ukuba liyenze.” ISityhilelo 13:13, 14. Akusathethwa ke, ngabantu abazimilisa ngokwabathunywa. Abantu balahlekiswa yimimangaliso eyenziwayo ngabathunywa bakaSathana hayi abangathi baya yenza.ItE 52.3

Ubakhokhelela abantu ukuba bazidle kakhulu ngobulumko abanabo bade ngeentliziyo zabo, bamdele Osenyangweni ngonaphakade.ItE 53.1

Unqulo Iwemimoya lufundisa ukuba “umntu usisidalwa esiya sikhula ... sisiya ekubeni nguThixo. “Kwakhona “umgwebo ulungile, kuba ugweba u-mna. ... itrone engaphakathi kuwe”. Olunye uluvo luthi, “Nawuphina umntu olungileyo nogqibeleyo unguKristu.”ItE 53.2

Ngoko ke, uSathana umise umntu onendalo yesono, yena buqu, njengomgangatho womgwebo. Ukuba oku yindlela yokuqhubeka ukhula, ngokuqinisekileyo, iyehla ayinyuki. Umntu akasoze anyuke ngaphezu komgangatho akuwo yena wobunyulu nokulunga. Ukuba u-mna ungumgomo, owona mgomo uphezulu, akasoze afike kwinto engaphezu koko. Lubabalo lukaThixo kuphela olukwaziyo ukumphakamisa umntu. Eyekelwe kuye umntu, ngokuqinisekileyo, uyehla.ItE 53.3

U-Sathana uqaphela izono zabo; aze umntu ngamnye, akekelele kuzo, akhuthalele ukumvezela amathuba okwanelisa umnqweno lowo wakhe. Ubalinga abantu ngelithe ukuze babe buthathaka emzimbeni, engqondweni nasekuziphatheni. Amawaka uwatshabalalisa ngokuthi azibhodloze ngenkanuko, ayonakalise yonke indalo yawo. Ukugqibezela umsebenzi wakhe, imimoya ithi, “ulwazi Iwenene lumbeka umntu ngaphezu kwawo wonke umthetho”, “nayiphi na into, ilungile.” U- Thixo akagwebi mntu”, zonke izono azinabutyala”. Xa abantu bekholwa ngolo hlobo, umnqweno wabo ungowona mthethoItE 54.1
