Kungani kufanele uphenduke?
Kungani manje?
Izizwe zethu ziyagula, futhi ukugula akusikho okwezomnotho noma okwezepolitiki, kodwa okungokomoya! Izono ziyanda njengomfula wodaka ohlasela yonke indawo yomphakathi. Ukonakala kwenhliziyo, ukukhonza izithombe, ukungabi nabulungisa, ukuziphatha okubi, kanye nokunganaki ubungcwele bukaNkulunkulu kungcolise izwe. Igazi labangenacala liyakhala lisuka emhlabathini, futhi ukuhlanekezela kuphakanyiswa njengentuthuko. Njengoba nje umprofethi u-Eliya asola u-Israyeli ngokuphambuka ezindleleni zeNkosi:
"Koze kube nini ninqikaza phakathi kwemibono emibili? Uma uJehova enguNkulunkulu, mlandeleni yena; kepha uma kunguBali, mlandeleni yena." (1 AmaKhosi 18:21)
Umoya ofanayo wokukhohlisa owaphuphuthekisa u-Israyeli esikhathini esidlule ukhona phakathi kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu namuhla. Siye saguquguquka phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nezinjabulo zomhlaba, iqiniso namanga, nokukhanya nobumnyama. Sekuyisikhathi sokunquma!
Izinsuku ezibucayi neziphuthumayo lapho izizwe zizokhothama phambi kukaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ka-Israyeli ngokuphenduka okujulile, zikhala zicela isihawu ngenxa yezono ezingcolise amazwe ethu.
11 Septhemba - 1 Okthoba, 2026 - Izinsuku ezingama-21 Zokuzingcwelisa
Ngalesi sikhathi esimisiwe, sibiza izizwe ukuba zikhothame phambi kukaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke ngokuphenduka okujulile, zikhala zicela isihawu ngenxa yezono ezingcolise ibandla nezizwe zethu.
Phendukani, nina zizwe! Usuku Lokwahlulela luseduze! Zizwe zomhlaba, yizwani izwi leNkosi limemeza livela ezulwini! Njengoba nje kwenzeka ezinsukwini zomprofethi uJoweli, amazulu aphinda isimemo esiphuthumayo sokuphenduka:
“Buyelani kimi ngenhliziyo yenu yonke, ngokuzila ukudla, ngokukhala, nangokulila. Dabulani izinhliziyo zenu, hhayi izingubo zenu, nibuyele kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu.” (Joweli 2:12–13)
Yiba Yithuluzi LikaNkulunkulu
Yiba ithuluzi likaNkulunkulu lokusiza ekukhululeni imvuselelo enkulu kunazo zonke eseBhayibhelini emlandweni. Lungisa inhliziyo yakho ngalezi zinsuku zokuzinikezela, lapho wonke amadolo eyoguqa khona futhi zonke izilimi zivuma ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi!
Ingabe wena, umndeni wakho, isonto, umphakathi, kanye nesizwe nizokwaziwa njengalabo abazithoba phambi kukaNkulunkulu—futhi ngenxa yalesi sizathu, naphakanyiswa Nguye? Sikholelwa ukuthi lokhu kuzophetha ekuqaleni kwesenzo sikaNkulunkulu esikhulu kunazo zonke emlandweni. Ingabe uzoba yingxenye yaso?
Ukukhala Kuqala E-altare
Izwi leNkosi licacile: ukuphenduka kumelwe kuqale ngobupristi!
“Abapristi, izikhonzi zeNkosi, mabakhale phakathi kompheme ne-altare, bathi: ‘Hawukela abantu bakho, Nkosi!’” (Joweli 2:17)
Belusi, nabaholi bezizwe abangokomoya: kuphi ukwesaba iNkosi? Ipulpiti isibe yisiteji, ne-altare, isiteji sokuzijabulisa. Izintshumayelo ezingenalutho, izimfundiso zenkolo ezonakele uthando lwemali, abaprofethi bamanga abadla izinkolelo-ze! INkosi idinga ubungcwele, kodwa abaningi bashintshe iqiniso ukuze kube lula, isiphambano ukuze bathole ukunethezeka, ukulalela ukuze bathole udumo. Lokhu kuzoqhubeka isikhathi esingakanani?
Izono Zezizwe Zikhala Ezulwini
Zizwe, bhekani izono zenu phambi kweNkosi:
• Ukukhonza izithombe – kungaba ngezithombe ezibonakalayo noma uthando lwamandla, imali, kanye nezinkanuko zaleli zwe.
(Jakobe 4:4; 1 Johane 2:15; Eksodusi 20:3–5; Kolose 3:5; Roma 1:21, 25)
• Inkohlakalo – hhayi nje ezigodlweni nakohulumeni kodwa nasezinhliziyweni zabantu, emangeni ansuku zonke, kanye nasekuntulekeni kobuqotho.
(2 Thimothewu 3:1–5; 2 Thimothewu 4:3–4; Mika 7:3; Isaya 1:23; Jeremiya 6:13)
• Ukuchitheka kwegazi elingenacala – kungaba ngobudlova noma ukubulala izingane ezingakazalwa. UNkulunkulu uyakuzwa ukukhala kwabangenacala! (Genesise 4:10; IzAga 6:16–17; Hezekeli 9:9)
• Ukuziphatha okubi ngokocansi – kuvamile futhi kukhuthazwa ngisho naphakathi kwezingane, okuholela izizwe ekonakaleni.
( Levitikusi 18:22-25; Roma 1:26-27; 1 Korinte 6:18 )
• Ukuhlubuka – abaningi abake bamemezela uKristu manje bayamphika. Uthando lwabo selupholile, futhi sebezithanda bona, bethanda izinto zezwe, benqaba ivangeli leqiniso, kanye nomyalezo namandla eSiphambano. Manje sebeyizihlubuki, iziphingi, nezitha zikaNkulunkulu.
(Mathewu 24:10–12; 2 Thimothewu 3:1–5; 2 Thimothewu 4:3–4; KwabaseFilipi 2:21; KwabaseRoma 16:18; Jakobe 3:16)
Ukuphenduka Okukhulu Kunawo Wonke Emhlabeni Emlandweni Sekuzoqala!
Kodwa kusekhona ithemba!
“Ngubani owaziyo ukuthi uzophenduka, azisole, ashiye isibusiso ngemuva kwakhe?” (Joweli 2:14)
INkosi inomusa futhi iyephuza ukuthukuthela—kodwa isikhathi sokuphenduka sesifikile!
Usuku Lokubuyisana kwakuwusuku umpristi omkhulu ayengena ngalo eNgcwelengcwele ukuyoncenga izono zesizwe. Usuku lokukhala, ukukhala, nokuthobeka phambi kukaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke. Kodwa okokuqala, kwakufanele aphenduke ezonweni zakhe. Thina, njengabapristi, asikwazi ukuncenga nokuphenduka ezonweni zebandla nesizwe kuze kube yilapho siqala ukuphenduka mathupha kuzo zonke izono! (IsAmbulo 5:10)
UNkulunkulu ubezonquma ukuthethelela nokubusisa noma ukwahlulela. Kodwa manje uJesu—uBaba osemnike konke ukwahlulela, futhi manje onguMahluleli wezizwe—uzonquma isizwe ngasinye: ukuthethelela nokubusisa ngokuvuselelwa okukhulu, noma ukwahlulela ngokunyakazisa okukhulu okuzogcina kuholele ekuphendukeni nasekuvuselelweni kuleso sizwe. Singalalela ngokuzithandela izwi, siphenduke manje, siyeke noma sinciphise ukunyakazisa, bese singena ekuvuselelweni.
Ukuvuselelwa Kuhlala Kuqala Ngokuphenduka Kweqiniso
Manje, uNkulunkulu ubiza ibandla ezizweni ukuba liphenduke ngeqiniso! INkosi inikeza izizwe zethu isikhathi esikhethekile sokuzinikezela—indawo yokwenza izinqumo ngekusasa lethu.
Ubizo Oluya Ezizweni
Ingabe izizwe zizokhothama phambi kweNkosi ngokuphenduka kwangempela?
Ingabe abapristi bazokhala phakathi kompheme ne-altare?
Ingabe abantu bazophenduka ezindleleni zabo ezimbi futhi bafune uNkulunkulu ngobuqotho?
Lalelani, nina zizwe, ubizo lweNkosi:
“Ngcwelisani ukuzila ukudla; bizani umhlangano ongcwele; buthani abantu; ngcwelisani ibandla.” (Joweli 2:15-16)
Sekuyisikhathi sokudabula izinhliziyo zethu—izinyembezi, ukuphenduka, nokubuyela othandweni lwethu lokuqala! Phendukani, zizwe zomhlaba, kungakephuzi kakhulu!

Isithasiselo SemiBhalo (ESV)
UJoweli 2:12-13 “Kepha namanje,” kusho uJehova, “buyelani kimi ngayo yonke inhliziyo yenu, ngokuzila ukudla, nangokukhala, nangokulila; niklebhule izinhliziyo zenu hhayi izingubo zenu.” Buyelani kuJehova uNkulunkulu wenu, ngokuba unomusa, unesihe, uyephuza ukuthukuthela, ugcwele umusa; uyazisola ngenhlekelele. 1 AmaKhosi 18:21 U-Eliya wasondela kubo bonke abantu, wathi: “Kuyoze kube nini ninqikaza phakathi kwemibono emibili? Uma uJehova enguNkulunkulu, mlandeleni; kepha uma kunguBali, mlandeleni yena.” Abantu abamphendulanga ngazwi. UJoweli 2:17 Phakathi kwendlu yokuphumula ne-altare, abapristi, izikhonzi zikaJehova, mabakhale bathi: “Hawukela abantu bakho, Jehova, ungenzi ifa lakho libe yihlazo, isifebe phakathi kwezizwe. Kungani besho phakathi kwabantu, bathi: ‘Uphi uNkulunkulu wabo?’” UJakobe 4:4 Nina bantu abaphingayo! Anazi yini ukuthi ubungane nezwe buwubutha noNkulunkulu? Ngakho-ke noma ubani ofuna ukuba umngane wezwe uzenza isitha sikaNkulunkulu. 1 Johane 2:15 Ningawuthandi umhlaba nezinto ezisezweni. Uma umuntu ethanda umhlaba, uthando lukaBaba alukho kuye. Eksodusi 20:3-5 “Awuyikuba nabanye onkulunkulu ngaphandle kwami. Ungazenzeli isithombe esibaziweyo, noma umfanekiso wanoma yini esezulwini phezulu, noma esemhlabeni phansi, noma esemanzini phansi komhlaba. Ungazikhothameli, ungazikhonzi, ngokuba mina Jehova uNkulunkulu wakho nginguNkulunkulu onomhawu, ngijezisa ububi bawoyise kubantwana, kuze kube sesizukulwaneni sesithathu nesesine sabangizondayo.” KwabaseKolose 3:5 Ngakho-ke bulalani okusemhlabeni okukini: ubufebe, ukungcola, inkanuko, isifiso esibi, nokuhaha, okuyikukhonza izithombe. KwabaseRoma 1:21, 25 Ngoba nakuba babemazi uNkulunkulu, abazange bamdumise njengoNkulunkulu noma bambonge, kodwa baba yize ekucabangeni kwabo, nezinhliziyo zabo eziyiziwula zafiphala… ngoba bashintsha iqiniso ngoNkulunkulu ngamanga, bakhulekela futhi bakhonza isidalwa kunoMdali, obongekayo kuze kube phakade! Amen. 2 Thimothewu 3:1-5 Kodwa yazi lokhu, ukuthi ezinsukwini zokugcina kuzofika izikhathi ezinzima. Ngoba abantu bayoba ngabazithandayo, abathanda imali, abazidlayo, abazidlayo, abahlambalazayo, abangalaleli abazali babo, abangabongiyo, abangangcwele, abangenaluzwela, abangaxolisi, abanyundeli, abangenakho ukuzithiba, abanonya, abangathandi okuhle, abakhapheli, abangenandaba, abakhukhumele ngokuzikhukhumeza, abathanda injabulo kunokuba abathandi bakaNkulunkulu, abanesimo sokumesaba uNkulunkulu, kodwa bephika amandla akho. Bagweme abantu abanjalo. 2 Thimothewu 4:3-4 Ngoba isikhathi siyeza lapho abantu bengayikuvuma khona imfundiso ephilayo, kodwa benokulunywa yizindlebe, bayozibuthela abafundisi ukuze bavumelane nezinkanuko zabo, futhi bayophenduka ekulaleleni iqiniso futhi baphambukele ezinganekwaneni. UMika 7:3 Izandla zabo ziphezu kobubi, ukuze bakwenze kahle; isikhulu nomahluleli bacela isaphulelo, nomuntu omkhulu ukhuluma isifiso esibi somphefumulo wakhe; ngakho-ke bayaluhlanganisa. U-Isaya 1:23 Izikhulu zakho zingabahlubuki nabangane bamasela. Wonke umuntu uthanda isaphulelo futhi ugijimela izipho. Abahluleli izintandane, futhi udaba lomfelokazi alufiki kubo. UJeremiya 6:13 “Ngoba kusukela komncane kuya komkhulu kubo, wonke umuntu uhaha ngenzuzo engalungile; futhi kusukela kumprofethi kuya kumpristi, wonke umuntu wenza amanga.” UGenesise 4:10 INkosi yathi: “Wenzeni? Izwi legazi lomfowenu liyakhala kimi livela emhlabathini.” IzAga 6:16-17 Kukhona izinto eziyisithupha uJehova azizondayo, eziyisikhombisa eziyisinengiso kuye: amehlo azidlayo, ulimi oluqamba amanga, nezandla ezichitha igazi elingenacala. UHezekeli 9:9 Wayesethi kimi: “Icala lendlu yakwa-Israyeli noJuda likhulu kakhulu. Izwe ligcwele igazi, nomuzi ugcwele ukungalungi. Ngokuba bathi: ‘UJehova ulishiyile izwe, uJehova akakuboni.’ ” Levitikusi 18:22–25 “Awuyikulala nowesilisa njengowesifazane; kuyisinengiso. Ungalali nanoma yisiphi isilwane, uzingcolise ngaso, futhi owesifazane makanganikeli esilwaneni ukuba alale naso; kuyichilo. Ningazingcolisi nganoma iyiphi yalezi zinto, ngokuba ngazo zonke lezi zizwe engizixosha phambi kwenu zingcolisiwe, nezwe lingcolisiwe, ngakho ngajezisa ububi balo, nezwe lahlanza abakhileyo kulo. KwabaseRoma 1:26–27 Ngenxa yalesi sizathu uNkulunkulu wabanikela ezinkanukweni ezingamanyala. Ngokuba abesifazane babo bashintshana ngobuhlobo bemvelo ngokuphambene nemvelo; nabesilisa bayeka ngobuhlobo bemvelo nabesifazane, bashiswa yinkanuko omunye nomunye, amadoda enza izenzo ezihlazisayo namadoda, ethola isijeziso esifanele isiphambeko sawo. 1 KwabaseKorinte 6:18 Balekelani ubufebe. Zonke ezinye izono umuntu azenzayo zingaphandle komzimba, kodwa umuntu oyisifebe uyona emzimbeni wakhe. Mathewu 24:10-12 Khona-ke abaningi bayakukhubeka, bakhaphelane, bazondane. Kuyovela abaprofethi bamanga abaningi, badukise abaningi. Ngenxa yokwanda kobubi, uthando lwabaningi luyophola. KwabaseFilipi 2:21 Ngoba bonke bafuna ezabo, hhayi ezikaJesu Kristu. KwabaseRoma 16:18 Ngoba abanjalo abakhonzi iNkosi yethu uKristu, kodwa izinkanuko zabo, futhi ngamazwi abushelelezi nangokuthopha bakhohlisa izinhliziyo zabangenalwazi. Jakobe 3:16 Ngoba lapho kukhona umhawu nombango, kuyakuba khona isiyaluyalu nayo yonke imikhuba emibi. UJoweli 2:14 Ngubani owaziyo ukuthi akayikuguquka, ashiye isibusiso ngemuva kwakhe, umnikelo wempuphu nomnikelo wokuphuzwayo eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu? Levitikusi 16:30 Ngoba ngalolu suku kuyakwenzelwa ukubuyisana kwenu ukuba nihlanzwe. Niyakuhlanzeka phambi kweNkosi kuzo zonke izono zenu. UJoweli 2:15-16 Vuthelani icilongo eSiyoni; ngcwelisani ukuzila ukudla; bizani umhlangano; buthani abantu. Ngcwelisani ibandla; buthani abadala; buthani abantwana, ngisho nezinsana ezincelisayo. Umkhwenyana makaphume ekamelweni lakhe, nomakoti angene ekamelweni lakhe. KwabaseFilipi 2:10-11 Ukuze ngegama likaJesu wonke amadolo aguqe, ezulwini nasemhlabeni nangaphansi komhlaba, nezilimi zonke zivume ukuthi uJesu Kristu uyiNkosi, kube yinkazimulo kaNkulunkulu uBaba. UHezekeli 34:2 “Ndodana yomuntu, profetha ngabelusi bakwa-Israyeli; profetha, uthi kubo, ngisho nakubelusi: Isho kanje iNkosi uNkulunkulu: O, belusi bakwa-Israyeli enibe nizondla nina! Abelusi akufanele yini bazondle izimvu?” Mathewu 15:9 “Bangikhonza ngeze, befundisa izimfundiso eziyimiyalo yabantu.” Mathewu 23:25 “Maye kini, babhali nabaFarisi, bazenzisi! Ngokuba nihlanza ingaphandle lendebe nesitsha, kodwa ngaphakathi kugcwele ubugovu nokuzitika.” U-Isaya 56:10-11 Abalindi bakhe bayizimpumputhe; Bonke abanalwazi; bonke bayizinja ezithule; abakwazi ukukhonkotha, ukuphupha, ukulala phansi, ukuthanda ukulala. Izinja ziyafisa kakhulu; azize zanele. Kodwa zingabelusi abangenakuqonda; bonke baphendukele endleleni yabo, yilowo nalowo enzuzweni yakhe, bonke. 1 KwabaseKorinte 3:3 Ngoba niseseyinyama. Ngoba nakuba kukhona umona nokuphikisana phakathi kwenu, anisibo abenyama yini futhi niziphatha ngendlela yabantu? KwabaseRoma 1:23 Futhi bashintsha inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu ongafi ngemifanekiso efana nomuntu ofayo nezinyoni nezilwane nezilwanyana ezinwabuzelayo. 1 KuThimothewu 6:10 Ngoba uthando lwemali luyimpande yazo zonke izinhlobo zobubi. Kungenxa yale nkanuko ukuthi abanye baye baphambuka ekukholweni futhi bazigwaza ngobuhlungu obuningi. U-Isaya 10:1 Maye kulabo abamisa imithetho engalungile, nababhali abaqhubeka nokubhala ukucindezela. U-Amose 2:12 “Kodwa naphuzisa amaNaziri iwayini, nayala abaprofethi, nathi: ‘Ningaprofethi.’” UHezekeli 18:32 Ngokuba angithokozi ngokufa kwanoma ubani, kusho iNkosi uNkulunkulu; ngakho-ke phendukani, niphile. 1 Petru 5:6 Ngakho-ke zithobeni phansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu esinamandla ukuze akuphakamise ngesikhathi esifanele. Johane 17:21 Ukuze bonke babe munye, njengalokhu wena, Baba, ukimi, nami ngikuwe, ukuze nabo babe kithi, ukuze izwe likholwe ukuthi wena ungithumile. IsAmbulo 2:4 Kepha nginalokhu ngawe, ukuthi ulahlile uthando owawunalo ekuqaleni. 2 Petru 3:9 INkosi ayiphuzi ukugcwalisa isithembiso sayo njengoba abanye bethi ukubambezeleka, kodwa iyanibekezelela, ingafisi ukuba kubhubhe namunye, kodwa ukuba bonke baphenduke. Mathewu 3:2 “Phendukani, ngokuba umbuso wezulu ususondele.” Mathewu 4:17 Kusukela ngaleso sikhathi uJesu waqala ukushumayela, ethi: “Phendukani, ngokuba umbuso wezulu ususondele.” IzEnzo 2:38 UPetru wathi kubo: “Phendukani, yilowo nalowo abhapathizwe egameni likaJesu Kristu kukho ukuthethelelwa kwezono zenu, khona niyakwamukeliswa isipho sikaMoya oNgcwele.”
