It is therefore obvious that, to a Nazarite, Prophet Shembe says the Holy Spirit that Yeshua referred to was Shembe who descends upon the Nazarites! In Hymn 138, stanza 4, Shembe says the Comforter has arrived. The Comforter is the Holy Spirit.
Therefore, there is no way that a Nazarite can deny that when Yeshua spoke about the Holy Spirit he was referring to Shembe!
SHABBAT SHALOM TO THE SANITS. THE TOPIC FOR THIS SERMON IS: “THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD AND HIS MESSENGERS.”
1.John 14:25-26: “These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”
2.Before Yeshua departed from this planet, he promised us that he would ask God to send us the Holy Spirit to come down and dwell with us, the one he called the Comforter.
3.There are numerous debates around Yeshua’s notion of the Holy Spirit. It is said that the Holy Spirit was poured down on some pious people during the Pentecost as we would read in Acts 2.
4.But nowadays we will consider how Shembe describes the Holy Spirit! Shembe has a book called The Hymns of the Nazarites.
5.In Hymn 58, which is a hymn dedicated to praying for the sick, the first stanza says: “Our Father who is heaven, I am before you, Hallowed be Your name,” then the Chorus goes thus: “Let Your spirit come upon us and heal Your people.”
6.The third verse says: “That which you promised us Through Yeshua Christ the King, You said you would not abandon us, But you would send us the Holy Spirit.” This stanza correlates with John 14, verse
25-26, where Yeshua says: “I will ask the Father to send you the Holy Spirit.”
7.Shembe says: “Yeshua said the Spirit that he promised us would not abandon us, he would send us the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit is the one that heals the sick.
8.The first stanza of Hymn 139 says: “The One who is followed by nations has arrived, He has arrived; we heard him. Acclaim you men, Acclaim all you nations.”
9.The fourth stanza says: “The Comforter has arrived, Follow him all you nations. Follow him O women of our nation, Follow him O maidens of our nation.”
10.Even here Shembe is still referring to the same matter that we come across with in John 14, verses 25-26, that Shembe is the Comforter that Yeshua was referring to.
11.It is therefore obvious that, to a Nazarite, Prophet Shembe says the Holy Spirit that Yeshua referred to was Shembe who descends upon the Nazarites! In Hymn 138, stanza 4, Shembe says the Comforter has arrived. The Comforter is the Holy Spirit.
12.Therefore, there is no way that a Nazarite can deny that when Yeshua spoke about the Holy Spirit he was referring to Shembe!
13.This Holy Spirit that heals the Nazarites is the same Spirit that Yeshua mentioned, saying he would abandon us; he would send us the Holy Spirit!
14.Whenever we touch on the relationship between Shembe and Yeshua, Shembe does not just describe himself, but he has demonstrated in practical terms that the assembly of the Nazarites is founded upon precepts that are derived from Yeshua’s teachings!
15.The assembly of the Nazarites is founded upon fundamental principles of the Yahuah’s Torah which was fulfilled by Yeshua!
16.In Matthew 5:17-19 uYeshua says: “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” – KJV
17.Yeshua continues: “But whoever keeps the Law of Mosheh and teaches others to do so, he will be considered great in the kingdom of God.
18.When Shembe arrived he wrote the Shabbat Liturgical Prayer which teaches about the Nazarite faith system.
19.In verse 3 of the Shabbat Liturgical Prayer, Shembe says: “Fear Yahuah, O generations upon generations and observe His laws which He, Yahuah, wrote through His servant Moshe, so that your worship may be acceptable to the Lord of hosts.”
20.With this verse Shembe was fulfilling Yeshua’s statement that he would appear after him, keep God’s Law and also teach others to do so; he would be great in the kingdom of heaven!
21.It is this verse that teaches that the Nazarite faith is founded upon the Law of Moshe which was fulfilled by Yeshua!
22.Today I wish to talk about a story of a Cameroonian woman which I have related in the past. Her name is Claudina Mambu.
23.That woman is an ex-Satanist, doing all sorts of evil deeds. At some she caused a bus crash where 48 people were fatally wounded.
24.But through God’s power, the woman repented and ended up being a saved soul!
25.In 2010, when she had repented, she was then interviewed by a Cameroonian paper, The Post, how she stopped operating as a Satanist because she had voluntarily confessed that she killed 48 people.
26.The interview was held on 29 August 2010. Since we translated the interview into isiZulu, I will read it in its translated version!
27.The Post reporter asked the woman: “Currently, how is your relationship with the members of the kingdom?” (In this context, when she alluded to the people of the kingdom she meant Satanists).
28.Claudine Mambu answered: “I now have no relationship with them since I dissociated myself from them, I said we have been separated by the blood of Jesus AND THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO INTRODUCED HIMSELF AS SHEMBE, THE COMFORTER, HE MANIFESTED TO ME IN THE FORM OF AN AFRICAN PERSON. For this reason, I know that they will not do anything to me.”
29.What is even more shocking is that the woman is a Cameroonian; she had never heard of an African prophet called Shembe!
30.But here she says Yeshua came to her with the Holy Spirit who introduced himself as Shembe, manifesting in the form of an African person!
31.Claudine Mambu said it was Shembe himself who described herself as the Holy Spirit!
32.But Claudine Mambu’s statement correlates with what was said by Shembe when he said he was the Holy Spirit, where, in Hymn 139: “The Comforter has arrived.”
33.Now it is Claudine Mambu who is explaining, though he knows nothing about Shembe. She says she met a person who referred to himself as the Holy Spirit who journeyed with Yeshua; it is him who rescued her from trouble!
34.The Post continues: “Are you trying to tell us that the Holy Spirit, the one that Jesus promised to the pious, has another name beside ‘Holy Spirit;’ is he the person or just a spirit that permeates everybody with meek hearts?
35.The journalist, who also did not know Shembe, meant that, according to Christianity, the Holy Spirit is the one that was poured down during Pentecost, not the one in a human form.
36.Claudine answered: “The Holy Spirit and Jesus are one entity, but so that mortal beings may be able to distinguish between the Holy Spirit and an evil spirit, the Holy Spirit had to have a man’s corporeal existence, then that man was given a heavenly name, Shembe. This name was written on his shoulders, and I saw it when he turned away, leaving.”
37.Claudine’s statement is amazing! If one were to read my recently published book, IZWI LEZULU (THE WORD OF YAHUAH) and turn to page 31, paragraph 4; that is where I explain what the prophet said.
38.Prophet Isaiah Shembe (peace be upon him), when he assumed his prophetic office, he said: “I saw my chest being opened, and a human being came out; he was in a spiritual form.
39.When he was in the firmament, I saw the following writing on his back: “Shembe.” Then this person came back and spoke to me, saying: “You are Shembe because I dwell within you.”
40.Prophet Isaiah Shembe (peace be upon him) saw Shembe who is the Holy Spirit entering him; then this spiritual Shembe said the prophet is Shembe because the spiritual Shembe dwells in him!
41.Today, after such a long time having written this book about Prophet Shembe, a Cameroonian woman shows up to testify through her vision of Prophet Shembe!
42.Prophet Shembe says he saw the following writing on the shoulders of the Shembe entity that entered the corporeal Shembe, “Shembe”, as I have written in the book, “IZWI LEZULU,” page 31, paragraph 4.
43.From page 143 to 148 of this book, I succinctly describe the Holy Spirit who is Shembe. But today Claudine testifies about Shembe who is the Holy Spirit though she knew nothing about such a name!
44.The Post journalist proceeded: “How did communicating with a heavenly being feel like; how did he promise to rescue the world from that evil spirit?”
45.Claudine then said: “He did not say a lot, except advising me to repent.
46.He said the kingdom of God was at hand; it was already in South Africa, and the preachers of his word would quickly preach throughout Africa. It will be at that moment that the evil spirit will be subjugated.”
47.Claudine continued: “If I may tell you the honest truth, I was scared of that person, but when he continued talking, I felt enigmatic love entering my heart to such an extent that I even cried, wishing he could stay a bit longer.
48.If my family could become financially sustainable, we would relocate to South Africa and become its citizens because perhaps this kingdom of God will reach Cameroon long after my death.”
49.Claudine’s statement that it is the Holy Spirit, Shembe, who will subjugate Satanism.
50.But what is more profound than anything else is that the Holy Spirit is the heavenly entity!
51.Claudine said the name of the heavenly being was was on the person who is the Holy Spirit, and the prophet said the same person entered him and said: “You are Shembe because I, Shembe, dwell in you!”
52.Even when the angel described Shembe to us: “Shembe” is the name of a heavenly aristocratic being!
53.Even Claudine testifies that Shembe is the name of the Holy Spirit that is similar to Jesus, and who would descend upon a human being on earth!
54.I am saying it becomes mysterious when a Nazarite comes forward to deny that Shembe is the Holy Spirit, saying is God, ignoring all the evidence that Shembe himself has alluded to so that everyone may accept their deceptive claims!
55.Claudine said the preachers of Shembe’s word already exist in South Africa, and they must preach all over Africa and teach about this Shembe who is the Holy Spirit!
56.But the question is: how will South Africans preach about Shembe who is the Holy Spirit because the Nazarites are imparting to the world what is contrary to what Shembe taught, that he is the Holy Spirit Yeshua spoke about in John 16?
57.This is what should be clarified about Shembe, the Holy Spirit, according to what the angel said to us: “I am being sent by Lord Galilee Shembe; he says you must teach the people about Shembe who is the Holy Spirit, the same Shembe who entered the Prophet through whom become Shembe”
58.This heavenly being said: “The Prophet, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, taught the Nazarites how to glorify Yahuah!
59.This assembly of the Nazarites belongs to Shembe who is the Holy Spirit that came from heaven, who also entered the Prophet, transforming him to the Prophet of the Universe!
60.According to the Nazarite doctrine, Shembe who is the Holy Spirit is just like Yeshua to other pious people; he is Yahuah’s messenger who has come down to earth to revive Yahuah’s faith system that He brought to us through His servant Moshe!
61.At some point, when Lord Galilee Shembe was preaching, he said: “Here at eKuphakameni we believe that Yeshua’s Spirit descended upon Shembe. When Shembe left his native land, God instructed him to leave all the things that he loved and did, and Yeshua’s Spirit descended upon him.
62.When Shembe arrived here in our land, he spread Yeshua’s Spirit, this Holy Spirit, the Spirit that makes people love one another.”
63.Therefore, for one to become a Nazarite they do not need to think about Shembe, the family name (surname), because the name “Shembe” came down from heaven; it is the name of the Holy Spirit!
64.If one knows that there is Prophet Isaiah Shembe (peace be upon him), who is the Initiator of the Way of the Nazarite faith, they would have known Shembe!
May the Lord bless His Word.
