“MULAKONZYA kundaamba kuti ndime sikulombelela; pele kunyina buya ambondilimvwa pe. Ndilombelela mali aa Jesu.” Aayo majwi akaambwaa mubelesi wacikombelo ca Protestanti walo utondezya kuzwangana kuliko akati kabakombi akaambo kakubula muzeezo ngobakonzya kubelesya kutegwa bajane mali aakubelesya. Kulibonya kuti mbunga yabukombi ikonzya buyo kuzwidilila lilikke noyijana mali manji. Babelesi beelede kuvwozyegwa, zikombelo zyeelede kuyakwa akubambululwa alimwi amali alayandika kumulimo wabukambausi. Ino mbuti mali aayandika kumilimo eeyi mbwaakonzya kujanwa?
Muzikombelo zinji, mali alakonzya kujanwa kwiinda mukupa cimanyakkumi. Imukambausi wazina lya Norman Robertson wakaamba kuti: “Cimanyakkumi nenzila Leza njabelesya mukugwasyilizya bwami Bwakwe anyika.
