Lass mich Dein sein und bleiben …

Lass mich dein sein und bleiben ...

Let me be Thine forever, Thou faithful God and Lord;
Let me forsake Thee never, nor wander from Thy Word.
Lord, do not let me waver, but give me steadfastness,
And for such grace forever Thy holy Name I’ll bless.

Lord Jesus, my Salvation, my Light, my Life divine,
My only Consolation, oh, make me wholly Thine!
For Thou hast dearly bought me with blood and bitter pain.
Let me, since Thou hast sought me, eternal life obtain.

And Thou, O Holy Spirit, my Comforter and Guide,
Grant that in Jesus’ merit I always may confide,
Him to the end confessing Whom I have known by faith.
Give me Thy constant blessing and grant a Christian death.

Ach bleib bei uns Herr Jesus Christ…

Ach bleib bei uns Herr Jesus Christ ....

Lord Jesus Christ, with us abide,
For round us falls the eventide;
Nor let Thy Word, that heav’nly light,
For us be ever veiled in night.

In these last days of sore distress
Grant us, dear Lord, true steadfastness
That pure we keep, till life is spent,
Thy holy Word and sacrament.

Lord Jesus, help, Thy Church uphold,
For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold.
Oh, prosper well Thy Word of grace
And spread its truth in every place!

Oh, keep us in Thy Word, we pray;
The guile and rage of Satan stay!
Oh, may Thy mercy never cease!
Give concord, patience, courage, peace.

O God, how sin’s dread works abound!
Throughout the earth no rest is found,
And falsehood’s spirit wide has spread,
And error boldly rears its head.

The haughty spirits, Lord, restrain
Who o’er Thy Church with might would reign
And always set forth something new,
Devised to change Thy doctrine true.

And since the cause and glory, Lord,
Are Thine, not ours, to us afford
Thy help and strength and constancy,
With all our heart we trust in Thee.

A trusty weapon is Thy Word,
Thy Church’s buckler, shield, and sword.
Oh, let us in its power confide
That we may seek no other guide!

Oh, grant that in Thy holy Word
We here may live and die, dear Lord;
And when our journey endeth here,
Receive us into glory there.

Sing to the Lord a new song ...

Kepha abapristi abakhulu nababhali, bebona izimangaliso azenzayo nabantwana bememeza ethempelini, bethi: Hosiyana kuyo iNdodana kaDavide, bacasuka, bathi kuye: Uyakuzwa lokhu abakushoyo laba na? UJesu wathi kubo: Yebo, anizange nifunde yini ukuthi: Emlonyeni wezingane nowabancelayo uzilungisele indumiso, na? Wayesebashiya, waphuma emzini, waya eBethaniya, walala khona. Kepha ekuseni esebuyela emzini walamba. Wabona umkhiwane owodwa ngasendleleni, weza kuwo; akafumananga-lutho kuwo, amaqabunga odwa. Wayesethi kuwo: Akungabe kusavela-sithelo kuwe naphakade. Umkhiwane wabuna khona-lapho. Bekubona lokho abafundi bamangala bathi: Umkhiwane ubuné kanjani masinyane na? UJesu wayesephendula, ethi kubo: Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Uma ninokukholwa, ningangabazi, aniyikwenza okomkhiwane kuphela, kodwa noma nithi kulentaba: Nqukuleka, uphonseke elwandle, kuyakwenzeka; nakho konke eningakucela ngokukhuleka nikholwa niyakukwamukeliswa.” Amen.

8. Intshumayelo: Bathandekayo eNkosini, isonto lanamuhla liyasiluleka ngegama lalo ukuba sihlabelele. Ngokwempela abeKerike ngokobuLuthere bayahlabelela, basebenzisa isihlabelelo sabo ezinkonzweni zamasonto kanye nebandla. Ngomjwayelo wawobaba bethu amaLuthere ayahlabelela amaculo esihlabelelo nasemakhaya, uma ephatha umkhuleko, nasemikhosini, nasemihlanganweni, noma eyabasha, eyabomame, eyamadoda, nasemingcwabeni. Kuthé ubaba uNun Mokone,, umhloli wezikole, ebuzwa eJalimane ngomnyaka ka1957, ebuzwa ukuthi ucabangani ngakho okwenzile ukuba abeTswana baphenduke ngobuningi kangaka phambi kwempi yamaNgisi namaBhunu, wayephendula, wathi: “AmaKristu, kakhulu amaLuthere ayahlabelela emingcwabeni.” Ngokwempela amaLuthere kanye namaKristu onke awadabuki, awakhali njengalabo abangenathemba ngabamukileyo, ngababekwa nangabalalayo emalibeni. Ayaculo, ahlabelela ngengqobo kaJesu Kristu emingcwabeni yabo, bayavuma ukuthi uJesu Kristu ubahlengile ezonweni zonke, nasekufeni, nasemandleni kaSathane. Ngithi iningi phakathi kwethu lisakhumbula ukuthi abezizwe babekhala ngezililo ezithintayo inhliziyo, kakhulu uma othile kwabakubo wayemuka emhlabeni esesibhedlele, isidumbu sakhe salethwa, safika kubo. Kwakulila nokumbongoza, isimayemaye, isililo, isikhalo impela okwezwakala esigodini sonke sakubo.

Kodwa amaLuthere bayahlabelela amaculo ezinhloko ezinkulu zokukholwa nemfundiso yobuKristu, njengalokhu sifundiswa eKhathekisimini likaDr. Martin Luther, noma njengalokhu zikhunjulwa, nokushunyayelwa ngomnyaka webandla, ngesikhathi seAdvente, ngomkhosi wokukhumbula ukuzalwa kweNkosi, ngesikhathi sePhifaniya ngokukhumbula ukuthi uMsindisi wabantu bonke wambulelwe nakubo abezizwe, nasesikhathini seNzilo ukuhlushwa kweNkosi, ngosuku lokukhumbula ukubethelwa nokufa kweNkosi, kakhulu ngomkhosi wokukhumbula ukuvuka kweNkosi kwabafileyo, nokwenyuka kwayo, nokuthululelwa kukaMoya oNgcwele kubafundi beNkosi ngomkhosi wePhentekoste, ngokukhumbula isambulo sikaNkulunkulu weqiniso, onguYise, neNdodana, noMoya oNgcwele, uMdali, noMsindisi, noMngcwelisi wethu, uNkulunkulu wobuThathwemunye, nangomkhosi wobuthunywa kuyakhunjulwa usizi yabangakabhapathizwa, nomsebenzi omkhulu wokuhambisa ivangeli ukuliyisa kwabezizwe. Kwaziwe ukuthi ngamaculo abacanduli bekerike ngesikhathi sikaMartin Luther amaLuthere batshalile okwafundiswa ngesikhathi sokucandulwa kwekerike ebantwini ukuba bamukele ukukhululwa, nokuhlengwa ezonweni, nasekufeni, nasemandleni kaSathane ngokuzalwa, nokufa, nokuvuka kukaJesu Kristu ngokukholwa nangokuthokoza okukhulu.

AmaLuthere ayacula amaculo, ayadumisa insindiso ekuKristu Jesu, noma bemelwe ukukhala nokulila, nokuzwela ubuhlungu kanye neNkosi yethu ngenxa yabasamelana nokukholwa, nokwala ukwamukela ukukholwa nokubhapathizwa, nangenxa yamakholwa awangasatheli izithelo zokuphenduka, nokukholwa, nothando, nethemba, njengalokhu sithola ezwini lentshumayelo ya namuhla ukuthi uJesu waqalekisa umkhiwane angafumananga lutho kuwo ukuba ubune khona lapho. Sengiyabuza ukuthi sithini ngabo abambona uKristu akwenzayo ngokuphulukisa izimpumputhe nezinyonga ethempelini, nangokuzwa abantwana abahubela iNkosi ethempelini, bedumisa, bememeza, bethi: Hosyiana kuyo iNdodana kaDavide! Makusizwe iNdodana kaDavide, ibusiswe, iphumelele emsebenzini wayo ewuzele ukuwenza eJerusalema. Abapristi abakhulu nababhali ababefundisa umthetho kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema babecasuka, basola iNkosi, mhla engavimbanga abantwana ukuyihubela, nokuyifakazela ngendumiso yabo ukuthi uJesu ungothenjisiweyo noMsindisi wabantu. UKristu wathokozela indumiso yabantwana, wafakaza ukuthi indumiso yabo iyafakazela ukugcwaliseka kwesithembiso esitholakalayo eHutsheni lesishiyagalombili. Ngelinye ilanga uJesu watshela ababefuna ukuba akhuze, avimbe abafundi bakhe ababemhubela nokumdumisa, wathi: “Uma bethula laba, amatshe azakumemeza.”

Noma sizwa ezwini lentshumayelo yanamuhla ukuthi uJesu waqalekisa umkhiwane loya, siyakhumbula nomlando omunye okhulumayo ngaye owacela umnini wesivini ngokuthi: Nkosi, wuyeke nangalomnyaka, ngize ngivukuze inhlabathi emaceleni awo, ngiwuthelele umquba; mhlawumbe ungaze uthele ngozayo; kepha uma kungenjalo, wowunquma.” UJesu Kristu, uMsindisi wethu usavukuza inhlabathi emaceleni ethu ngokusithumela abashumayeli bezwi lakhe ukuba sithokoze kanye naye, sikhumbule ukuthi usagcwalisa izithembiso zakhe. Abantwana bayamhubela, kanye nabadala abaningi. Abantu abangamaKristu bayamethemba, bakholwa nguye. Indumiso yoMsindisi wabantu bonke isezwakala.

Ake sigqugquzelwe, sivuselelwe sonke ukuhlangana nalabayabantwana, nabafundi beNkosi endleleni yakhe ngesicelo esithi: INkosi mayiphumelele ukunqoba ukwala nokuphikisa konke ezinhliziyweni zabantu, abaholele, nokubaqinisa ekukholweni. Abakholwa nguye abakwazi ukuthula nje, bazomdumisa, nokumhubela ngentokozo enkulu, ngokuba uJesu Kristu usilungisele insindiso nokuphila okuphakade ngokufa nangokuvuka kwakhe. Amen.

9.         Umkhuleko: Nkosi Jesu Kristu, siyabonga, ngokuba uzambulele kithi ukuba siholwe nguwe. Sesiyacela ukuba uqhubeke ukugcwalisa izithembiso zakho naphakathi kwethu, nakubantwana bethu, igama lakho lidunyiswe ngabadala nangabantwana ngamaculo azodonsa, nokuhola nabanye ukukholwa nguwe, nokukudumisa. Mawusizwe ngenxa yothando lwakho olukhulu. Amen.

Umkhuleko weNkosi: Baba wethu osezulwini …

Foo a o raya a re: ‘A go se tlhole go ungwa leungo lepe mo go wena go ya bosakhutleng!’ Mme mofeie wa akofa wa omelela. Ya re barutwa ba bona, ba gakgamala ba re: ‘Kana mofeie o omeletse ka bonako jang?’ Jesu a ba araba a re: ‘Ammaaruri ke lo raya ke re: Fa lo na le tumelo, lo sa belaele, lo ka dira, e seng fela se se se diretsweng mofeie; mme fa lo ka raya thaba e lo a re: ‘Itsholetse o itigele mo lewatleng,’ go ka dirafala. Le tsotlhe tse lo ka di kopang mo thapelong ka go dumela, lo tla di amogela.’” Amen.

8. Thero: Barategi mo Moreneng, Sontaga wa kajeno o re kaela ka leina la ona gore re opele. Tota-tota ba kereke ya Lutere ba a opela, ba dirisa kopelo ya bone mo ditirelong-Modimo mmogo le phuthego. Ka tlwaelo ya borara ba rona Balutere ba opela difela tsa kopelo le mo magaeng, fa ba tshwara thapelo, le mo meletlong, le mo dikopanong le fa e le tsa bašwa, tsa bomme, tsa banna, le mo diphitlhong. E rile rre Nun Mokone, motlhatlhobi wa dikolo, a bodiwa kwa Jeremane ka ngwaga wa 1957 a bodiwa gore o gopolang ka ga se se dirileng gore Batswana ba ne ba tlhabologa ka bontsi mo go kalo pele ga ntwa ya Maesimane le Maburu, o ne a araba a re: “Bakeresete, bogolo Balutere ba opela mo diphitlhong,” Tota Balutere mmogo le bakeresete botlhe ga ba hutsafalele ba ga gabo ba ba sa tlholeng ba tshela, jaaka ba ba se nang tsholofelo. Ba opela ka ga phenyo ya ga Jesu Keresete mo diphitlhong tsa bone, ba ipolela, fa Jesu Keresete a ba golotse mo maleong otlhe, le mo losong, le mo thateng ya ga Satane. Ke a dumela gore bontsi jwa rona bo sa ntse bo gopola ka fa baditšhaba ba ne ba lela dilelo tse di amang pelo, fa mongwe wa bone a ne a swela mo sebetleleng, setopo sa gagwe se goroga mo gae. Ke selelo tota.

Mme Balutere ba opela difela tsa dikgaolo tse dikgolo tsa thuto ya bokeresete, jaaka di rutiwa mo Kategisimeng ya ga Dr. Martin Luther, gongwe jaaka di gopolwa, le go rerwa ka ngwaga wa kereke, ya sebaka sa Adfente, sa go gopola botsalo jwa Morena, sa go gopola gore Mopholosi wa batho botlhe o senoletswe le baditšhaba ka sebaka sa Epifania, le mo sebakeng sa dipogo, tsa papolo le loso lwa Morena, bogolo ka moletlo wa go gopola tsogo ya Morena mo baswing, le tlhatlogo ya gagwe, le kgoromeletso ya Mowa o o Boitshepo, le ka go gopola tshenolo ya Modimo wa nnete, o e leng Rara, le Morwa, le Mowa o o Boitshepo, Motlhodi, Mopholosi, Moitshepisi wa rona, le ka meletlo ya thomo go gopodiwa tlalelo ya ba ba iseng ba kolobediwe, le tiro e kgolo ya go tsamaisa Efangele go e isa mo go baditšhaba. Go itsiwe gore ka difela tsa bantšhafatsi ba kereke ka nako ya ga Martin Luther Balutere ba tsentse tse di rutilweng ka nako ya bontšhwafatso jwa kereke mo bathong, gore ba amogele thuto ya go gololwa mo boleong, le mo losong, le mo thateng ya ga Satane ka botsalo, loso, le tsogo ya ga Jesu Keresete.

Balutere ba a opela difela tse di galaletsang pholoso e e mo go Keresete Jesu, le fa ba tshwanetse go hutsafala, le go utlwa botlhoko mmogo le Morena wa rona ka ntlha ya ba ba sa ntseng ba mo ganetsa, le go gana go amogela tumelo le kolobetso, le ka ntlha ya badumedi ba ba sa ungweng maungo a tlhabologo, le tumelo, le lorato, le tsholofelo, jaaka re bona ka Lefoko la thero ya kajeno gore Jesu o ne a hutsa mofeie gore o akofe wa omelela. Tota re reng ka ga bone ba ba bonang se Keresete a se dirang ka go fodisa difofu le batllhotsi, ka go bona bana ba ba opelelang Morena mo Tempeleng, ba mo opelela ka go opa mokgosi mo tempelang, ba re: Hosana go Morwa Dafita! A go thusiwe Morwa Dafita, a a bone letlhogonolo le tshegofatso mo tirong ya gagwe e a e tletseng go e dira kwa Jerusalema. Baperesiti ba bagolo le baruti ba molao wa Modimo ba kwa Jerusalema ba ngongoregela Morena, fa a ne a sa thibele bana go mo opelela, le go supa ka tumiso ya bone gore Jesu ke yo o solofeditsweng go nna Mopholosi wa batho botlhe. Keresete o ne a itumelela tumiso ya bana, a supa gore ke tirafatso ya polelelo-pele ya Pesalome ya borobedi. Ka nako e nngwe Jesu o ne a bolelela ba ba batlileng gore a thibele barutwa ba gagwe ba ba neng ba mo opelela, a re: “Fa ba, ba ka didimala, majwe a tla kua.”

Le fa re utlwa ka Lefoko la thero ya kajeno gore Jesu o ne a hutsa mofeie ole, re gopola le tiragalo e nngwe e e re bolelelang ka ga yo o kopileng morena wa tshimo ya moweine, a kopela setlhare se se neng se sa ungwe, a re: “Morena, o lese le ka ngwaga ono, ke tle ke o lemele, ke tsenya letshotelo. Motlhaope o tla ungwa isago; fa go sa nne jalo, o ka o rema.” Morena Jesu Keresete o sa ntse a re lemela ka go re rerela  Lefoko la gagwe gore re itumele mmogo le ene, fa a sa ntse a dirafatsa ditsholofetso tsa gagwe. Bana ba mo opelela, le batho ba le bantsi. Bakeresete ba a mo ikanya, ba dumela mo go ene. Tumiso ya Mopholosi wa batho botlhe e sa ntse e utlwala.

A re tsoselediweng rotlhe go kopana le bana bale, le barutwa ba Morena mo tseleng ya gagwe ka kopo gore Morena a kgone go fenya dikganetso tsotlhe mo dipelong tsa batho, a ba gogele, le go ba tiisa mo tumelong. Ba ba dumelang mo go ene ga ba ka ke ba didimala, ba tla mo tumisa, le go mo opelela ka boitumelo jo bogolo, gonne Jesu Keresete o re baakanyeditse pholoso le botshelo jo bo sa khutleng ka loso le tsogo ya gagwe. Amen.

Ke gona re kopang gore o tswelele go dirafatsa ditsholofetso tsa gago mo gare ga rona, le mo baneng ba rona, leina la gago le galalediwe ke bagolo le bana ka difela tse di tla gogang le ba bangwe go dumela mo go wena le go go galaletsa. O re utlwe ka ntlha ya lorato lo logolo lwa gago. Amen.

Thapelo ya Morena: Rara wa rona yo o mo legodimong …

Bana ba sekolo sa tlhomamiso ba ithuta mafoko a a reng: Ke dumela mo go Jesu Keresete yo o neng a bapolelwa mo sefapaanong, a swa, a fitlhwa, a tsoga ka letsatsi la boraro mo baswing, a tlhatlogela mo legodimong, a le koo o tla roma Mogomotsi, Mowa o o Boitshepo, mme mo bofelong o tla bowa teng mo legodimong. Tseo di a utlwala, ga di fitlhege. Ga ke re?

Ke nnete, Jesu o re tlhalosetsa tseo, a re: “Ammaaruri, ammaarui ke lo raya ke re: Lo tla lela, lo tlhokofala, lefatshe lone le tla itumela. Lo tla hutsafala; mme khutsafalo ya lona e tla fetoga boitumelo. Lona lo na le bohutsana jaanong, mme ke tla boa ke lo bona; dipelo tsa lona di tla itumela, mme ga go ope yo o tla lo amogang boitumelo jwa lona,” a sena a tsoga, bogolo fa a tla bo a sena go boa ka letsatsi la bofelo. Ke mang yo o hutsafetseng kajeno? Yo o nang le letswalo fa gare ga rona ke mang? Jesu o bua le lona. O ka re: Jesu o a re bona, o a re itse, o re tlhaloganya le matshwenyego a rona. Tse di tshwenyang kajeno mo lefatsheng la rona di ama pelo ya gagwe. Ga a re tlogele re le masiela. Ga a re tlogele mo tlalelong ya rona, nyaya. O a re godisa, le go tlhatlosa mmele le mowa, tlhogo le pelo ya rona. Gantsi re mo tlase thata mo moweng mo malatsing a a bokete. Mme fano mo Efangeleng ya kajeno go dirwa se sešwa. Re itumedisiwa fa gare ga dikeledi, le fa gare ga dilelo gore boitumelo bo latele botlhoko, le go utlwisiwa botlhoko, e le boitumelo jo bošwa, le boitumelo jo bo sa feleng, e le boitumelo jwa botlalo, boitumelo tota. Ke tlhoka mafoko a a bontsha, le go tlhalosa tse di kwadilweng mono kajeno.

Ke a itse, ke dumela ka tlhomamo gore Jesu Keresete o teng. O nna le nna ka letsatsi lotlhe, o nna le nna mo motseng wa ga etsho, o nna le nna mono mo kerekeng, o nna le nna bosigo le motshegare. O nna le nna mo Lefokong la gagwe. O nna le nna mo boipobolong. O nna le nna mo selalelong se se boitshepo. O nna le nna mo kamoreng ya me. O nna le nna mo sekolong. O nna le nna mo perekong. O nna le nna ka Sontaga phakela, le fa gare ga beke, le fa ke le fa kae, le fa ke dirang. Ke ka atamela mo go ene. Ke ka kopana le ene. Mowa o o Boitshepo wa gagwe o ntshikara, o a ntiisa, o a ntshedisa, o a nkgomotsa. Lona bomme ba phuthego lo utlwa botoka se se kwadilweng fano, fa go twe: “Mosadi, fa a belega, o na le bohutsana, ka nako ya gagwe e tlile. Mme e a re a sena go belega ngwana, a se ke a tlhole a gopola tlalelo ka ntlha ya boitumelo jwa gore motho o tsaletswe mo lefatsheng.” Ke sekao le setshwantsho se se molemo tota. Go dirilwe se sešwa fa gare ga matlhoko mo botshelong jwa rona. Ke nnete ka Efangele go dirwa se sešwa mo tsamaong ya rona e Paulo a buang ka yona, a re: “Ba tiisa dipelo tsa barutwa, ba ba kgothatsa gore ba nnele ruri mo tumelong. Le gona ba re: ‘Re tshwanetse go tsena mo pusong ya Modimo ka ditlalelo di le dintsi,’” Dit. 14:22. Fela jalo go dirwa se sešwa mo tsamaong ya phuthego ya Morena. Re sala Jesu Keresete morago. Tsela ya gagwe e feta kwa Golegotha, mme e khutla mo legodimong. Ke jona botshelo jo bošwa ka tsogo ya ga Keresete. Ke botshelo jo bošwa ka go goromelediwa Mowa o o Boitshepo. Ke botshelo ka go dumela. Ke botshelo ka go itshwarelwa maleo a rona. Ke botshelo ka Efangele e e monate ya ga Jesu Keresete. Fa gare ga loso re mo botshelong. Loso lo latelwa ke botshelo jo bo sa khutleng. Fa gare ga tlalelo re mo boitumelong. Mosadi, fa a belega, o na le bohutsana, ka nako ya gagwe e tlile. Mme e a re a sena go belega ngwana, a se ke a tlhole a gopola tlalelo ka ntlha ya boitumelo jwa gore motho o tsaletswe mo lefatsheng. Boitumelo jo bo sa bolelweng bo tla latela matshwenyego, le matlhoko.

Tsogo ya ga Keresete e re e gopolang ka moletlo wa tsogo, le kgoromeletso ya Mowa o o Boitshepo e re e gopolang ka moletlo wa Penteksote, le go bowa ga Keresete ka letsatsi la bofelo go mmogo. Ke ka itumela, ke ka opela, jaaka nonyane e e fofang e lela. Se ke se bolelang, bagaetsho, ke se: Nna le wena re ka tshega mo gare ga dikeledi. Le lona lo na le bohutsana jaanong, mme ke tla boa ke lo bona; dipelo tsa lona di tla itumela, mme ga go ope yo o tla lemogang boitumelo jwa lona. Motsing oo ga lo nke lo mpotsa sepe. Dipelaelo tsotlhe di tla fela. Mo bosuleng jotlhe, le mo botlhokong, mo ditlalelong tsotlhe le mo go tsotlhe tse ke di tlhokang, mo bohutsaneng jotlhe ke a itse gore Jesu Kereste Mopholosi wa me o teng. O a nthata. O a mpelega, o a mpoloka. Ke utlwa mafoko a gagwe a kgomotso. Morago ga sebakanyana lo tla boa lo mpona, ke boa ke lo bona, Pelo ya me e itumele. Ga go ope yo o ka amogang boitumelo mo go lona. Itshokeleng fela, bomorwa-Rre, bomorwadie-Rre. Itshokeleng bakaulengwe. Re tla fenya ka ene. Re tla fenya mmogo le ene. Haleluja. Amen.

7. Ivangeli ngohlelo lwesithathu lilotshiwe  uJohane 16, 16 – 23a, lithi: “Kusezakuba-yisikhashana ningabe nisangibona, kubuye kube-yisikhashana ningibone, ngokuba ngiya kuBaba. Ngakho abanye kubo abafundi bakhe base bekhuluma bodwa, bethi: Kuyini lokho akushoyo kithi ukuthi: Kusezakuba-yisikhashana ningabe nisangibona, kubuye kube-yisikhashana ningibone, nokuthi: Ngokuba ngiya kuBaba, na? Bathi: Kuyini lokho akushoyo ukuthi: Yisikhashana, na? Asazi ukuba uthini. UJesu wazi ukuthi bebethanda ukumbuza, wathi kubo: Niyabuzana ngalokho engikushiloyo ukuthi: Kusezakuba-yisikhashana ningabe nisangibona, kubuye kube-yisikhashana ningibone, na? Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Niyakukhala nilile nina, kepha izwe liyakujabula; niyakuba-lusizi nina, kepha usizi lwenu luyakuphendulwa lube-ngukuthokoza. Owesifazane, nxa esabeletha, ulusizi, ngokuba sifikile isikhathi sakhe; kepha nxa esembelethile umntwana, akabe esakhumbula ubuhlungu ngenxa yentokozo yokuba kuzelwe umuntu ezweni. Nani-ke nilusizi manje, kepha ngiyakubuye nginibone, inhliziyo yenu ithokoze; intokozo yenu akakho onganamuka yona. Ngalolusuku aniyikubuza-lutho kimi.” Amen.

 8. Intshumayelo: Bandla likaJesu Kristu, namuhla sekulisonto, elinegama elihle elithi: Jubilate. NgesiZulu lithi: Mhubeleni njenjabulo! Namuhla siyalulekwa ngokuthi: Jabulani. Thokozani. Lelivangeli lifuna ukugcwalisa inhliziyo nomphefumulo nomoya nonembeza wethu ngentokozo. Lifuna ukugcwalisa umuzi wethu nebandla lethu nesigodi sethu sonke ngentokozo. Lapha phansi thina-makholwa sisengozini enkulu njalo yokulahlekelwa ithemba. Sidlula kokuningi, kakhulu ezweni lakithi, kakhulu esikhathini samanje. USathane uzama ngezindlela eziningi ukubulala isibindi sethu nentokozo yethu, ngoba ezama ukubulala ukukholwa kwethu. Ngakho-ke ngiyajabula ukuthi uMsindisi wami uJesu Kristu uqobo lwakhe uyangiduduza namuhla, njengokuba eduduza ibandla lakhe lonke emhlabeni.

 Uyakhuluma nabafundi bakhe kulobubusuku lapho akhashelwa khona, phambi kokufa kwakhe okwesabekayo. Ngalesosigcino senkulumo yakhe uyahlanganisa okuthathu: umkhosi wePhasika nomkhosi wePhentekoste nokubuya kwakhe ngosuku lokugcina, okusho ukuthi ukuvuka kwakhe nokuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele nokugcina kwezinto zonke lé kwelizayo. Kusezakuba-yisikhashana ningabe nisangibona, kubuye kube-yisikhashana ningibone, ngokuba ngiya kuBaba. Abafundi kabaqondi lutho, kanti kulula ukuthukulula lemfumbe. Abantwana bekilasi bayafunda: Ngiyakholwa nguJesu Kristu owabethelwa esiphambanweni, wafa, wembelwa… ngosuku lwesithathu wavuka kwabafileyo, wenyukela ezulwini, lapho ezothumela khona uMduduzi, uMoya wakhe oNgcwele, lapho eyakubuya khona. Kuyezwakala, kuyakhanya, angithi?

 Yebo, uJesu uyachasisela lokhu: Ngiqinisile, ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Niyakukhala nilile nina, kepha izwe liyakujabula; niyakuba-lusizi nina, kepha usizi lwenu luyakuphendulwa lube-ngukuthokoza. Nani-ke nilusizi manje, kepha ngiyakubuye nginibone, inhliziyo yenu ithokoze; intokozo yenu akakho onganamuka yona. Ngalolusuku aniyikubuza-lutho kimi.  Ubani phakathi kwethu odabukile namuhla na? Ubani phakathi kwethu unovalo na? UJesu uyakhuluma nani. Sengathi uJesu uyasibona thina, uyasazi thina, uyasiqonda thina nezinhlupheko zethu. Izinkinga zanamuhla ezweni lakithi ziyathinta inhliziyo yakhe. Akasishiyi siyizintandane. Akasishiyi osizini lwethu, cha. Uyasiphakamisa – umzimba nomphefumulo, ikhanda nenhliziyo. Sivama siphansi emoyeni kuzo izinsuku ezinzima. Kanti lapha evangelini lethu kuyadalwa okusha. Intokozo phakathi kwezinyembezi. Intokozo phakathi kokulila. Intokozo emuva kobuhlungu. Intokozo emva kokulimala. Intokozo entsha. Intokozo engenakuphela. Intokozo ephelele. Intokozo isibili. Ngiswela amazwi okubonisa nokuchaza okulotshiwe lapha namuhla.

Ngiyazi, ngikholwa nqi ukuthi uJesu Kristu ukhona. Unami ngosuku lonke. Unami emzini wami. Unami nalapha esontweni. Unami emini nasebusuku. Unami ezwini lakhe. Unami esibikweni. Unami esidlweni esingcwele. Unami ekamelweni lami. Unami esikoleni. Unami emsebenzini. Unami ngesonto ekuseni, naphakathi kweviki; noma ngikuphi, noma ngenzani, ngingasondela kuye, ngingahlangana naye. UMoya wakhe oNgcwele uyangithwala, uyangiqinisa, uyangiphilisa, uyangiduduza. Nina-ke bomame bebandla niyezwa kangcono okulotshiwe lapha: Owesifazane, nxa esabeletha, ulusizi, ngokuba sifikile isikhathi sakhe; kepha nxa esembelethile umntwana, akabe esakhumbula ubuhlungu ngenxa yentokozo yokuba kuzelwe umuntu ezweni. Lokhu kuyisibonelo esihle ngempela. Kuyadalwa okusha phakathi kobuhlungu ekuphileni kwethu. Kanjalo kuyadalwa okusha ekuhambeni kwethu. „Simelwe ukungena embusweni kaNkulunkulu ngezinhlupheko eziningi,“ (IzEnzo 14:22). Kanjalo kuyadalwa okusha ekuhambeni kwebandla leNkosi. Simlandela uJesu Kristu. Indlela yakhe idlula eGolgotha, igcina ezulwini kodwa. Nans’ impilo entsha ngokuvuka kukaKristu. Impilo entsha ngokuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele. Impilo entsha ngokukholwa. Impilo entsha ngokuthethelelwa kwezono zethu. Impilo entsha ngevangeli elihle elimnandi likaJesu Kristu. Phakathi kokufa sisempilweni. Emva kokufa kuvela ukuphila okungenakuphela, ukuphila okuphakade. Phakathi kosizi sisentokozweni. Owesifazane, nxa esabeletha, ulusizi, ngokuba sifikile isikhathi sakhe; kepha nxa esembelethile umntwana, akabe esakhumbula ubuhlungu ngenxa yentokozo yokuba kuzelwe umuntu ezweni. Emva kwezinhlupheko, emva kobuhlungu: intokozo engakhulumekiyo.

 Ukuvuka kukaKristu ngePhasika, ukuthululwa kukaMoya oNgcwele ngePhentekoste, ukubuya kukaKristu ngosuku lokugcina kuhlangene. Kuyaqinisa ukukholwa kwethu, kuyasikhombisa ukuthi izulu livuliwe phezu kwethu. Ngingajabula, ngingahlabelela njengenyoni endizayo. Engikushoyo bakithi: Wena nami singahleka phakathi kwezinyembezi. Nani-ke nilusizi manje, kepha ngiyakubuye nginibone, inhliziyo yenu ithokoze; intokozo yenu akakho onganamuka yona. Ngalolusuku aniyikubuza-lutho kimi. Konke ukungabaza kuzophela. Kukho okubi nobuhlungu, kuzo zonke izinhlupheko nezidingo, kulo lonke usizi ngiyazi nokho ukuthi uJesu Kristu uMsindisi wami ukhona. Uyangithanda. Uyangithwala. Uyangilondoloza. Ngiyezwa amazwi akhe enduduzo: Kusezakuba-yisikhashana ningibone; ngiyakubuye nginibone, inhliziyo yenu ithokoze, intokozo yenu akakho onganamuka yona. Bhekezela nje, mfowethu. Bhekezela nje, dadewethu. Bhekezela nje, mzalwane. Sizonqoba naye. Sizonqoba ngaye. Halleluja. Amen.

 9.         Umkhuleko:  Yebo, Nkosi Jesu Kristu, gcwalisa izinhliziyo zethu ngentokozo yakho nangethemba lakho nangesibindi sakho ukuba silwe ukulwa okuhle kokuholwa. Sisize kanjalo ukuba sikulandele ngobuqotho nangeqiniso size sisindiswe ngomusa wakho omkhulu enkazimulweni yokuphila okuphakade. Amen.

7. Izwi lentshumayelo ngohlelo lwesithathu lilotshiw kuHesekeli 34:1-16.31, lithi: “Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: Ndodana yomuntu, profetha ngabelusi bakwaIsrayeli; profetha uthi kubo, kubelusi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Wo kubelusi bakwaIsrayeli abazibonelela bone! Abelusi bebengayikuzalusa izimvu na? Niyadla amanoni, nembatha uboya, nihlaba ezikhulupheleyo, kepha izimvu anizalusi. Ezibuthakathaka aniziqinisanga, negulayo aniyiphilisanga, neyaphukileyo aniyibophanga, nexoshiweyo aniyibuyisanga, nelahlekileyo aniyifunanga, kepha nizibusile ngamandla alukhuni. Zazihlakazekile, ngokuba umalusi wayengekho; zaba-ngukudla kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle, zahlakazeka. Izimvu zami zazulazula kuzo zonke izintaba nakuwo onke amagquma aphakemeyo, yebo, izimvu zami zazihlakazekele ebusweni bonke bomhlaba, akwabakho ozifunayo nozicingayo. Ngalokho, belusi, zwanini izwi likaJehova lokuthi: Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova, impela ngenxa yokuba izimvu zami zaba-yimpango, nangokuba izimvu zami zaba-ngukudla kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle, lokhu umalusi engekho, nangokuba abelusi bami bengafunanga izimvu zami, abelusi bezibonelela bona, bengazalusi izimvu zami, ngalokho, belusi, zwanini izwi likaJehova lokuthi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bhekani, ngimelene, nabelusi, ngiyakuzibiza izimvu zami esandleni sabo, ngenze ukuba bangabe besazalusa izimvu, abelusi bangabe besazibonelela bona, ngophule izimvu zami emlonyeni wabo, zingabi-ngukudla kwabo. Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bhekani, mina ngiyakuzifuna izimvu zami, ngizicinge. Njengomalusi efuna umhlambi wakhe mhla ephakathi kwezimvu zakhe ezilahlekileyo, kanjalo ngiyakufuna izimvu zami, ngizophule kuzo zonke izindawo ezihlakazekele kuzo ngosuku lwamafu nolobumnyama. Ngiyakuzikhipha kubantu, ngiziqoqe emazweni, ngiziyise ezweni lazo, ngizaluse ezintabeni zakwaIsrayeli, ngasemifuleni, nasezindaweni zonke ezakhiweyo zezwe. Ngiyakuzalusela emadlelweni amahle, isibaya sazo sibe-sezintabeni zempakama yakwaIsrayeli; ziyakubuthisa khona esibayeni esihle, ziklabe emadlelweni aluhlaza ezintabeni zakwaIsrayeli. Mina ngiyakuzalusa izimvu zami, ngenze ukuba zibuthise, isho iNkosi uJehova. Ngiyakufuna ezilahlekileyo, ngibuyise ezixoshiweyo, ngibophe ezaphukileyo, ngiqinise ezigulayo; kepha ezikhulupheleyo nezinamandla ngiyakuzichitha, ngizaluse ngokwehlulela. … Nina niyizimvu zami, niyizimvu zedlelo lami; ningabantu, mina nginguNkulunkulu wenu, isho iNkosi uJehova.” Amen.

8. Intshumayelo: Bandla leNkosi, isonto loMalusi omuhle: ngesiLatini: Miserikordia Domini, njengokuba sizwile. Sinenhlanhla thina-makholwa, sinomholi, asisodwa. Ukhona umalusi, osigada. Amehlo akhe aphezu kwethu. Uyasiqondisa ngezwi lakhe: Umthetho nevangeli. Uyasixwayisa ezingozini; uyasiduduza ekudabukeni. Umthetho uyasigada, ivangeli liyasiphakamisa. Lelithekisi lanamuhla liyasithinta sonke, kakhulu thina-bafundisi. Liyasihlola; liyasihlaba; liyasivusa ebuthongweni; liyalola unembezea wethu; liyasithumela ebandleni nasesabelweni nasemadolobheni nomaphi lapho izimvu zeNkosi zihlala khona. Ngiyafeza umsebenzi wami ngokukhuthala nangesineke, na? Ngiyasebenza phansi kwamehlo oMalusi wezulu omkhulu ngothando olufanele nangokubekezela, na? Ngiyakwenza engingakwenza maqondana neziphiwo zami, maqondana nokuhlakanipha kwami, maqondana nesikhathi sami, na? Thina sonke siyabizwa, siyabuzwa namuhla. Sibahambela abavilaphaya nabahlubukileyo, na? Sibamema abayiziboshwa, sibakhulekela abagulayo nabafelwa nabadabukileyo, na?

Ngimsiza kanjani umakhelwane wami ongakholwayo, ongasontiyo, na? Ake sikhumbule njalo: Angingumnini womhlambi, nguNkulunkulu kuphela. Isikhundla sami sivela kuye. Angithi, siyezwa ukuthi lelizwi likaNkulunkulu lanamuhla liyathinta nabo bonke abanye abasebenza nabantu, ngisho othisha, nabantu bakaHulumeni, nasemahovisini, namaphoyisa, nezinduna, namakhosi, odokotela nabo bonke abasebenza ezibhedlela namaclinic lapha nalapha, amasocial workers nabo abasebenza ematilongweni ethu, size sifike ekhaya emzini wethu, lapho abazali, ubaba nomame bayelusa umhlambi wabo omncane, ngisho abantwana bethu, nabantwana babo. Izwi likaNkulunkulu liyema phambi kwami namuhla ekuseni, liyangihlola, liyangibuza mina, lithi: We, sibanibani ungumalusi onjani wena, na? uyazithanda wena noma uyazithanda izimvu zakho, na? Uyazinakekela zona, uyazigada, uyaziyisa emadlelweni aluhlaza, uyazikhombisa imithombo yamanzi aphilayo, okuphumula nokusutha, noma uyazidukisa zona ezingozini, ekukholweni okuyize, ekudangaleni, nakokunye okulihlazo namanyala amakhulu, ekubhujisweni nasekufeni na?

Sinomsebenzi munye kuphela njengabelusi ukuba sibakhombise, sibaphelekezele abanye endleleni yokuya ezulwini. Angithi, uma sizihlosisa kanjalo, sibuza lemibuzo, simelwe ukuphendula ngamahloni nangokudabuka, sithi: Asifanele, Nkosi. Asifanele, malusi wabelusi. Siyavilapha, siyazozela, siyazithanda, siyazibonelela, siyaphutha, siyona. Kuyaklebula inhliziyo uma sibona okwenziwa ezweni lakithi. Lelizwi likaNkulunkulu lanamuhla liyakhuluma kakhulu nababusi bethu, amalungelo abo nezimfanelo zabo. Isizwe esizama ukuqhubeka ngaphandle kukaNkulunkulu sizodideka, sizoduka, sizogcina kabi, sizobhubha. Kwakunjalo ngesikhathi esidlule, kusenjalo namanje, kuzoba kanjalo nakusasa. Kuyaklebula inhliziyo uma sibona okwenziwa ezikoleni zethu ezithize lapha nalapha. Singathi: UHezekeli uyasazi thina, uyabona esikwenzayo. Izwi likaJehova lafika kimi, lathi: Ndodana yomuntu, profetha ngabelusi bakwaIsrayeli; profetha uthi kubo, kubelusi: Isho njalo iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Wo kubelusi bakwaIsrayeli abazibonelela bona! Abelusi bebengayikuzalusa izimvu, na? Niyadla amanoni, nembatha uboya, nihlaba ezikhulupheleyo, kepha izimvu anizalusi. Ezibuthakathaka aniziqinisanga, negulayo aniyiphilisanga, neyaphukileyo  aniyibophanga, nexoshiweyo aniyibuyisanga, nelahlekileyo aniyifunanga, kepha nizibusile ngamandla alukhuni. Zazihlakazekile, ngokuba umalusi wayengekho; zaba-ngukudla kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle, zahlakazeka. Izimvu zami zazulazula kuzo zonke izintaba nakuwo onke amagquma aphakemeyo, yebo, izimvu zami zazihlakazekele ebusweni bonke bomhlaba, akwabakho ozifunayo nozicingayo.

Kumyalelo wokuqala siyafunda: Asomesaba, simthande, simethembe uNkulunkulu phezu kwezinto zonke. Omesaba uNkulunkulu akabesabi abantu. Omthanda yena, uzothanda nabantu bakhe. Omethemba uNkululunkulu uzosebenza ngokuthembeka okukhulu. Ukukholwa kunjalo. Kunezithelo; kunomphumela; kunempetho; kunomgomo. Maye kithina, uma sizama ukwelusa ngaphandle koMalusi wemiphefumulo yethu omkhulu! Ngalokhu, belusi, zwanini izwi likaJehova lokuthi: Kuphila kwami, isho iNkosi uJehova, impela ngenxa yokuba izimvu zami zaba-yimpango, nangokuba izimvu zami zaba-ngukudla kwazo zonke izilwane zasendle, lokhu umalusi engekho, nangokuba abelusi bami bengafunanga izimvu zami, abelusi bezibonelela bona, bengazalusi izimvu zami, ngalokho, belusi, zwanini izwi likaJehova lokuthi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bhekani, ngimelene nabelusi, ngiyakuzibiza izimvu zami esandleni sabo, ngenze ukuba bangabe besazalusa izimvu, abelusi bangabe besazibonelela bona, ngophule izimvu zami emlonyeni wabo, zingabi-ngukudla kwabo.

Ngokuba isho kanje iNkosi uJehova, ithi: Bhekani, mina ngiyakuzifuna izimvu zami, ngizigcinge. Njengomalusi efuna umhlambi wakhe mhla ephakathi kwezimvu zakhe ezilahlekileyo, kanjalo ngiyakufuna izimvu zami, ngizophule kuzo zonke izindawo ezihlakazekele kuzo ngosuku lwamafu nolobumnyama. Ngiyakuzikhipha kubantu, ngiziqoqe emazweni, ngiziyise ezweni lazo, ngizaluse ezintabeni zakwaIsrayeli, ngasemifuleni, nasezindaweni zonke ezakhiweyo zezwe. Ngiyakuzalusela emadlelweni amahle, isibaya sazo sibe-sezintabeni zempakama yakwaIsrayeli; ziyakubuthisa khona esibayeni esihle, ziklabe emadlelweni aluhlaza ezintabeni zakwaIsrayeli. Mina ngiyakuzalusa izimvu zami, ngenze ukuba zibuthise, isho iNkosi uJehova. Ngiyakufuna ezilahlekileyo, ngibuyise ezixoshiweyo, ngibophe ezaphukileyo, ngiqinise ezigulayo; kepha ezikhulupheleyo nezinamandla ngiyakuzichitha, ngizaluse ngokwahlulela.

Siyezwa yilokhu na? Mina ngiyakwenza konke lokhu, isho iNkosi uJehova. Okusho ukuthi akuyi ngokuzama kwethu, akuyi ngokwentando yethu nangamandla ethu. Kepha makabongwe yena, konke kuya ngokwentando kaJehova. Yena kuphela uyiNkosi yomhlambi wakhe. Wamthumela uMalusi wakhe omuhle phakathi kwethu, iNdodana yakhe ethandekayo uJesu Kristu. 1 Pet. 2:21: Ngokuba nabizelwa khona lokho; ngokuba uKristu wahlushwa ngenxa yenu, enishiyela isibonelo sokuba nilandele ezinyathelweni zakhe. Siyakubonga, Nkosi Kristu. Sihawukele, Nkosi Kristu.

Ngalawomazwi kuyabonakala ukuthi uMelusi wethu omuhle uyamema izinsizwa ezithi azitholi umsebenzi, noma ziqedlie isikolo kahle ukuba kube khona abamlandelayo emsebenzini wakhe wokuba ngabelusi emhlambini woMelusi omuhle, ziye ekholishi ukuzilungisela umsebenzi wokwelusa umhlambi wezimvu zoMelusi wethu omuhle owazinikela ekufeni ngenxa yethu. Yiso isimemezelo esikhulu ngesonto loMelusi omuhle nakulomnyaka nakulesosikhathi sokuswela abafundisi ezindaweni eziningi ekerikeni lakithi. Amen.

9.         Umkhuleko: Nkosi, Nkulunkulu Baba, siyakubonga ngokuba usiphile uMalusi wethu omuhle uJesu Kristu. Nkosi, busisa abelusi bethu, ubalondoloze. Usiphe amadoda namakhosikazi aqotho athembekileyo akwesabe wena, akwazi wena, akulandele wena ukuba sihambisane kahle ezweni lakithi, sizwane kahle emabandleni ethu, siqhubeke kahle ezikoleni zethu, sihlalisane kahle emakhaya ethu, yebo, silekelelane yokuya ezulwini, sihloniphane endleleni, umzimba nomphefumulo, sibe-yizibonelo ezinhle zabantwana bethu, noma siyizoni, ngaye uJesu Kristu uMsindisi wethu, singakhohlwa ukuvuselela abafana bethu ukuzinikela ukuzilungisela umsebenzi wokwelusa ibandla, sonke sicele njalo ukuba iNkosi ithume izisebenzi ekuvuneni kwayo. Amen.

Umkhuleko weNkosi: Baba wethu osezulwini …

10.        Iculo 205/301

Ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu odlula ukuqonda konke makulondoloze izinhliziyo zethu nemicabango yethu kuKristu  Jesu, iNkosi noMsindisi wethu. Amen.

8. Thero: Phuthego ya Morena, ke Sontaga wa Modisa yo o molemo. Ka Selatini ke Miserikordia Domini, jaaka re utlwile. Ka Setswana ke bopelontle la Morena. Rona badumedi re na le letlhogonolo. Re na le moeta-pele, ga re rosi. Go na le Modisa yo o re disang. Matlho a gagwe a mo godimo ga rona. O re lemosa ka Lefoko la gagwe, ka molao le Efangele. O re tlhagisa fa dikotsi di leng teng. O re gomotsa mo dikhutsafalong. Molao o a re disa. Efangele e a re godisa. Lefoko la thero ya kajeno le re ama rotlhe, bogolo rona baruti. Le a re tlhatlhoba, le a re tlhaba, le re tsosa mo thobalong, le lotsa segakolodi sa rona, le re romela mo phuthegong, mo mafelong a a kwa ntle, le mo ditoropong, le fa e le mo mafelong a mangwe kwa dinku tsa Morena di agileng teng. Le a mpotsa gore a ke dira tiro ya me ka tlhoafalo le ka tlhokomelo? A ke dira ka fa tlase ga matlho a Modimo yo mogolo wa legodimo ka lorato le boitshoko jo bo tshwanetseng? A ke dira tse ke kgonang go di dira ka fa dimphong tsa me, ka fa botlhaleng jwa me, ka fa nakong e ke nang nayo? Rotlhe re a bidiwa, re bodiwa kajeno. A re tsamaela ditshwakga le baikepi? A re laletsa ba ba kgaotsweng? A re rapelela balwetsi, baswagadi, batlholagadi, le ba ba hutsafetseng?

Re thusa mokaulengwe yo o sa dumeleng, yo o sa tseneng kereke jang? A re gopoleng ka metlha gore ga re beng ba letsomane. Mong le Morena wa lona ke Modimo fela. Boemo jwa rona bo tswa mo go ona. Ke re: Lefoko le la Modimo la thero ya kajeno le ama le botlhe ba ba dirang le batho, ke raya barutabana, batho ba goromente, ba dikantoro, maphodisa, barena, dikgosi, dingaka, le botlhe ba ba dirang mo dipetleleng, mo maokelong a magolo le a mannye, batlhokomedi ba batsofe, le ba ba bokoa, ba ba dirang mo dikgolegong. Re bue le ka ga magae a rona, kwa batsadi, borre le bomme, ba disang teng letsongwana la bone, ke raya bana, le bana ba bana, le ditlhogolo. Lefoko la Modimo la thero ya kajeno le utlwala mo mosong ono, le a ntlhatlhoba, le a mpotsa, le re: Motho ke wena, wena o modisa yo o ntseng jang? A wena o a ithata fela, gongwe o rata le dinku tsa gago, tse e leng tsa Modimo tota? A o a di tlhokomela? A o a di disa? A o di isa mo mafulong a matalana?

Re na le tiro e le nngwe fela, re le badisa gore re bontshe ba bangwe thato ya Modimo, re ba felegetse mo tseleng e e yang mo legodimong. Ke re: Fa re itlhatlhoba jalo, fa re botsa dipotso tseo, re tshwanetse go araba fa pele ga Modimo, re tlhabilwe ke ditlhong, re arabe le ka khutsafalo, re re: Ga re a tshwanela, Morena, ga re a tshwanela, Modisa  wa badisa, ra tshwakgafala, ra otsela, ra ithata, ra ipatlela, ra fosa, ra leofa. Go gagola pelo, fa re leba tse di diragalang mo lefatsheng la rona. Lefoko le la Modimo la thero ya kajeno le bua thata ka babusi ba rona, ka ga ditshiamelo le ka ga ditiro tsa bone. Morafe o o lekang go tswelela kwa ntle ga Modimo o tla tlhaela, o timele, o latlhege, o senyege. Go ne go ntse fela jalo mo sebakeng se se fetileng, go sa ntse go ntse fela jalo jaanong, go tla nna jalo kamamoso. Go gagola pelo, fa re bona tse di diragalang mo dikoleng dingwe tsa rona kwa le kwa. Re ka re: Moporofeti Hesekiele o a re itse, o bona tse re di dirang, a re: “Lefoko la MORENA la ba la tla kwa go nna la re: ‘Morwa motho, rera o kgalemele badisa ba Iseraele, rera ò ba ree o re: ‘Lona Badisa, Morena Modimo o bua jaana, a re: A tatlhego wee ya badisa ba Iseraele ba ba iphudisang! Badisa a ga ba a tshwanela go fudisa letsomane? Lo ja mašwi, lo apara boboa, lo tlhaba tse di nonneng, mme letsomane ga lo le fudise. Tse di fokolang ga lo a ka lwa di tiisa; tse di lwalang ga lo a ka lwa di alafa; tse di robegileng ga lo a ka lwa di fapa; tse di lelekilweng ga lo a ka lwa di busa; tse di timetseng ga lo a ka lwa di batla; mme tse di tiileng lwa di gataka ka kgatelelo. Dinku tsa me tsa phatlalala jalo ka go tlhoka modisa, tsa nna dijo tsa dibata tsotlhe tsa naga ka go phatlalala. Dinku tsa me tsa kgarakgatshega mo dithabeng tsotlhe le mo mebotong yotlhe e e godimo. Dinku tsa me tsa falalediwa kwa ntlheng tsotlhe tsa lefatshe, go se na yo o di tlhokomelang, le fa e le yo o di batlang.”

Ka taolo ya ntlha re ithuta gore “re tshwanetse go boifa, le go rata, le go ikanya Modimo bogolo go dilo tsotlhe.” Yo o boifang Modimo ga a boife batho. Yo o o ratang, o tla rata ba ga gabo. Yo o ikanyang Modimo o tla dira ka go ikanyega thata. Tumelo e ntse jalo. E na le maungo, e a kgona, e na le maikaelelo. Ijoo, tatlhego wee mo go rona, fa re leka go disa kwa ntle ga Modisa yo mogolo wa mewa ya rona! Ka moo, badisa, utlwang Lefoko la Morena le le reng: “‘Ruri! Ka botshelo jwa me! Dinku tsa me di fetogile thopo, dinku tsa me ke dijo tsa dibata tsotlhe tsa naga ka go tlhoka modisa; badisa ba me ga ba a ka ba tlhokomela dinku tsa me – kana badisa ba ne ba iphudisa fela, ba sa fudise letsomane la me. Ka moo he, lona badisa, utlwang Lefoko la MORENA!’ Morena Modimo o bua jaana, o a re: ‘Bonang, ke tla wela badisa bao, ke batla dinku tsa me mo diatleng tsa bone, mme bone ke tla ba ntsha mo tirong ya go disa dinku tsa me.’”

“Gonne Morena Modimo o bua jaana, o a re: ‘Bonang, ke tla batla dinku tsa me ka nosi, ke di tlamela. Modisa o tlhokomela letsomane la gagwe ka letsatsi le ka lone a leng mo gare ga dinku tsa gagwe tse di neng di phatlaletse, ke tla tlhokomela dinku tsa me jalo, ke di pholosa mo mafelong otlhe kwa di phatlalaletseng teng ka letsatsi la maru le lefifi. Ke tla di ntsha mo merafeng, ke di phutha mo mafatsheng, ke di isa kwa nageng ya tsona, ke di fudisa mo dithabeng tsa Iseraele le mo melapong le gotlhe fa di ka nnang teng mo lefatsheng leo. Ke tla di fudisa mo mafulong a a molemo; meraka ya tsona e tla nna mo dithabeng tse di godimo tsa Iseraele. Di tla botha teng mo marakeng a a molemo, di fula mafulo a manana mo dithabeng tsa Iseraele. Ke tla fudisa dinku tsa me ka nosi, ke di bothisa ka nosi, go bua Morena Modimo. ‘Ke tla batla tse di timetseng, ke busa tse di lelekilweng, ke fapa tse di robegileng, ke tiisa tse di lwalang, ke disa tse di akotseng le tse di tiileng, ke di fudisa ka tshwanelo.”

A re a di utlwa? MORENA a re: O tla dira tse tsotlhe tseo. Ke gore ga go tsamaye ka fa go lekeng ga rona, ga go tsamaye ka fa thatong ya rona, le e seng ka fa thateng ya rona. Mme a go lebogwe ene! Tsotlhe di tsamaya ka fa thatong ya MORENA. Morena wa letsomane ke ene fela. Wa romela Modisa yo o molemo mo gare ga rona, ke ene Morwawe yo o rategang Jesu Keresete. Fela jalo go kwadilwe mo go 1 Pet. 2:21 gore  “gonne lo bileditswe gona moo. Keresete le ene o bogisitswe ka ntlha ya lona, a lo tlogelela sekao gore lo gate motlhale wa gagwe.” Re a go leboga, Morena Keresete! O re tlhomogele pelo, Morena Keresete!”

Ka mafoko ao go a utlwala gore Modisa yo o molemo wa rona o laletsa makau a a reng: Ga a bone tiro, le fa a feditse sekolo sentle gore mangwe a nne teng a a tla yang mo seminareng go ipaakanyetsa go mo latela mo tirong ya gagwe ya go nna badisa mo letsomaneng la Modisa yo o molemo yo o neng a ineela mo losong ka ntlha ya rona. Ke yona taletso e kgolo ka Sontaga ya Modisa yo o molemo le mo ngwageng ono, mo sebakeng sa go tlhoka baruti mo mafelong a le mantsi mo kerekeng ya rona. Amen.

9.             Thapelo: Morena Modimo Rara, re a go leboga, gonne o re file Modisa yo o molemo wa rona Jesu Keresete. Morena, tshegofatsa badisa ba rona, o ba femele. O re fe borre le bomme ba ba ikanyegileng, ba ba go boifang, ba go itse, ba go sale morago gore re tsamaye sentle mmogo mo lefatsheng la rona, re utlwane sentle mo diphuthegong tsa rona, re tswelele sentle mo dikoleng tsa rona, re agisane sentle mo magaeng a rona, re thusanye mo tseleng ya go ya legodimong, re tlotlane mo tseleng, ka mebele le ka mewa ya rona re nne dikao tse dintle mo baneng ba rona, le fa re le baleofi, re itse, re gopole ka metlha  gore re gogiwa, re disiwa ke ene Jesu Keresete, Morena le Mopholosi wa rona, re se lebale go tsoseletsa basimane ba rona go ineela go ipaakanyetsa tiro ya go disa phuthego, rotlhe re kope ka metlha gore Morena a romele badiri mo thobong ya gagwe. Amen.

Thapelo ya Morena: Rara wa rona yo o mo legodimong …

Faith is the substance of things hoped for ... Daily light for 9th May

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. ¹

If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. ²

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”– ³

In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory. ⁴

Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” ⁵

Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory,  obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. ⁶

for we walk by faith, not by sight.  ⁷

Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward.  ⁸
