EPHUKILE
UHLELO LWEPHASIKA
UJesu akazange avumele ukwaliwa, ukuhlupheka, kanye nobuhlungu ukuba lukhuni inhliziyo Yakhe. Kunalokho, waphuka futhi wathulula ukuphila kwakhe ngenxa yethu.
Masilandele isibonelo sakhe futhi sivumele uNkulunkulu asebenzise ukuphuka kwethu ukukhulula imiphefumulo eNingizimu Afrika.
“Umhlatshelo wami [umhlatshelo owamukelekayo] kuNkulunkulu ungumoya ophukile; inhliziyo eyaphukileyo nedabukileyo [edabukile ngenxa yesono futhi ngokuthobeka nangokuphenduka ngokuphelele], ongeke uyidelele, Nkulunkulu.” IHubo 51:17 (AMPC)
Iviki 2: Izinhliziyo Eziphukile
Uma utshala imbewu, kukhona ukuphila ngaphakathi, kodwa kunegobolondo eliqinile elizungezile.

Iviki 4: Abaphukile Futhi bayalalela
Lapho senza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu noma iziyalezo ngendlela yethu, sisuke singalaleli. AmaKristu amaningi azelwe ngokusha, afunda iZwi, akhuleke futhi afune ukuthethelelwa izono zawo, kodwa abafuni ukukwenza ngendlela kaNkulunkulu. Encwadini yeZenzo 9, sifunda ukuthi uSawulu washushisa futhi wabulala amaKristu, ecabanga ukuthi usebenzela uNkulunkulu futhi uphila impilo engcwele. Wayecabanga ukuthi yilokho uNkulunkulu ayefuna akwenze.
