Ngelinye ilanga sonke siyokuma phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sikaJesu Kristu (Umhl 12:14, Mat 3:11, Joho 5:22, Rom 2:15-16, Rom 14:10-12, 2Ukukhanywa 5:10). Akekho owaziyo, when that day will come, kodwa yinye into eqinisekile: that day will come! When that day will come, wouldn’t it be great, if you stand before the throne of the Lord and hear Him say: “Well done, you faithful servant.” I think every believer wants to hear these words, don’t you think? But with today’s modern variations of the gospel, you might wonder if these words will be heard.
The responsibility of the believers
UJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, weza enyameni kulomhlaba. He died on the cross, was raised from the dead and is seated at the right hand of God. Ngegazi likaJesu Kristu, you have been saved and reconciled to the Father. Ngokusebenzisa ukuvuselelwa, you’ve become a son of God and have been redeemed from the kingdom of darkness and its satanic power.
Jesus has raised an assembly of born again believers, Obani umzimba wakhe: Isonto lakhe. They represent and maintain the spiritual authority and government of the Kingdom of God on this earth. The Body of Christ reigns in Him over every principality, amandla, ruler of darkness, and evil spirit in the heavenly places etc.
The believers should rule over sin, instead of sin ruling over them. Because if believers keep walking in sin, it means that they still walk according to the will of the devil and live in slavery and the bondage of sin.
The believers of Jesus Christ should be ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, abahamba ngemuva komoya, representing Jesus Christ to the people. Lokho kusho, that you walk after the Spirit and the Word, and live according to the intando kaJesu, okuyintando kaBaba futhi, and preach and represent the Kingdom of God to the people. So that Jesus and God will be exalted and glorified by your walk and your life.
Kanjalo makukhanye ukukhanya kwenu phambi kwabantu, ukuze babone imisebenzi yenu emihle, futhi nikhazimulise uYihlo osezulwini (Mat 5:16)
Ngiqinisile, ngempela, ngithi kini, Okholwa yiMi, imisebenzi engiyenzayo mina naye uyakuyenza; nemikhulu kunale uyakuyenza; ngoba mina ngiya kuBaba. Futhi noma yini eniyakukucela eGameni laMi, ngizokwenza lokho, ukuze uBaba akhazimuliswe eNdodaneni (Jn 14:12-13)
Ngalokho nathi siyanikhulekela njalo, ukuze uNkulunkulu wethu anibale njengabakufanelekele ukubizwa, futhi agcwalise yonke into enhle yobuhle bakhe, nomsebenzi wokukholwa ngamandla: That the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, nani kuYe, ngokomusa kaNkulunkulu wethu noweNkosi uJesu Kristu (2 Th 1:11-12)
If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen (1 Isifuba khadi 4:11)

Ngabe uNkulunkulu uzoziqhenya ngawe?
Ngabe uNkulunkulu uzoziqhenya ngawe, when you tolerate the works of darkness and become complicit? Ngabe uNkulunkulu uzoziqhenya ngawe, when you build the kingdom of the world and exalt and ukukhazimulisa uDeveli? Will Jesus and God be proud of you, when you keep living after your own will, leading your own life and keep doing things that harm His Name, Umzimba wakhe, kanye loMbuso kaNkulunkulu?
UCABANGANI? When the day will come, that you will stand before His throne, will He say to you: “Well done, your faithful servant?” or will He say: “I have never known you, depart from Me.”
