Uma uhlubuka enyameni, nakanjani kuzoba khona impi ngaphakathi kwakho. USathane uzozama ukukwenza uyilandele, uzozama ukukwenza ukuthi ulandele imibono yenyama futhi aphakamise izidingo zenyama—kodwa amazwi kaNkulunkulu azokukhanyisela futhi akhanyise ngaphakathi, futhi ngalesi sikhathi kukuwe ukuthi ulandela uNkulunkulu noma ulandela uSathane. UNkulunkulu ucela abantu ukuthi benze iqiniso ngokoqobo ikakhulukazi ukuze babhekane nezinto ezingaphakathi kubo, ukubhekana nemicabango yabo, kanye nemibono yabo engeyona eyenhliziyo kaNkulunkulu. UMoya oNgcwele uthinta abantu ngaphakathi, futhi wenze umsebenzi Wakhe ngaphakathi kubo, ngakho ngemuva kwakho konke okwenzekayo kunempi: Njalo uma abantu benza iqiniso, noma benza uthando lukaNkulunkulu, kunempi enkulu, futhi nakuba konke kungabukeka kuhamba kahle enyameni yabo, ekujuleni kwezinhliziyo zabo impi yokuphila nokufa, eqinisweni izobe ihlangene phezulu empeleni—futhi ingemuva kwale mpi ethunqa uthuli kuphela, emuva kokucabanga okujule kakhulu lapho kunganqunywa khona mayelana nokunqoba noma ukwehlulwa. Umuntu akazi noma ahleke noma akhale yini. Ngenxa yokuthi ukukhuthazeka okuningi okungaphakathi kubantu akulungile, okunye ngenxa yokuthi omningi umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu awuvumelani nemibono yabo, uma abantu benza iqiniso, impi enkulu iliwa esithe. Sebelenzile leli qiniso esithe abantu babe sebekhale imvula yezinyembezi ngaphambi kokunquma ekugcineni ukwanelisa uNkulunkulu. Yingenxa yale mpi eyenza ukuthi abantu babhekane nokuzwa ubuhlungu nokucwengwa; lokhu ukuhlupheka kwangempela. Uma impi isiphezu kwakho, uma ukwazi ngempela ukuma ngasohlangothini lukaNkulunkulu, uzokwazi ukwanelisa uNkulunkulu. Ukuhlupheka endleleni yokwenza iqiniso akunakho ukugwemeka; uma, lapho belenza iqiniso, yonke into ngaphakathi kubo ilungile, bebengeke badinge ukupheleliswa nguNkulunkulu, futhi bekungeke kube khona impi, futhi bebengeke bezwe ubuhlungu. Yingoba ziningi izinto ezikubantu ezingenakusetshenziswa nguNkulunkulu, futhi kuningi ukuhlubuka kwenyama, ngendlela yokuthi abantu badinga ukuthi bafunde isifundo sokuhlubuka enyameni kakhulu impela. Yilokhu uNkulunkulu akubiza ngokuzwa ubuhlungu acela umuntu ukuba adlule kukho kanye Naye. Lapho uhlangabezana nezingqinamba, phuthuma futhi uthandaze kuNkulunkulu: O Nkulunkulu!
