ibyabaye muri rimwe mu materaniro yabo y’iyobokamana yari ahabanye cyane n’imihango
y’itorero ry’Ubwongereza itarangwamo ubushyuhe, yaravuze ati :“Kwiyoroshya gukomeye
ndetse n’uburyo bifata mu masengesho byanteye gutekereza mbere y’imyaka igihumbi na
magana arindwi yari ishize, maze ntekereza ko ndi muri rimwe muri ya materaniro

Pawulo, umuboshyi w’amahema, cyangwa Petero wari umurobyi ari bo bayayoboye, nyamara
hakagaragara imbaraga ya Mwuka w’Imana.” 274
Ubwo Wesley yari agarutse mu Bwongereza, yaje kwigishwa n’umubwiriza w’umukristo
w’umumorave (Moravian), maze abasha gusobanukirwa kurushaho iby’ukwizera Bibiliya
yigisha. Yemeye ko agomba kureka kwishingikiriza ku mirimo ye ngo ibe yamuhesha
agakiza, kandi ko akwiriye kwiyegurira burundu “Ntama w’Imana ukuraho ibyaha by’abari
mu isi.” Mu iteraniro ry’itsinda ry’abamorave ryaberaga i London, Luteri yanditse ubutumwa,
asobanura impinduka Mwuka w’Imana akorera mu mutima w’uwizeye. Ubwo Wesley
yategaga amatwi, ukwizera kwagurumanye mu bugingo bwe. Aravuga ati: “Numvaga
umutima wanjye ususurutse mu buryo budasanzwe, numvise nkwiriye kwiringira Kristo
wenyine kugira ngo mbone agakiza; kandi mfite ibyiringiro ko yankuyeho ibyaha byanjye

kwiyanga gukomeye, imyaka yo kugawa no gucishwa bugufi, Wesley yari ataratezutse ku
mugambi we wo gushaka Imana. Ubu rero yari amaze kuyibona, kandi ubuntu yahihibikaniye
guhabwa akoresheje amasengesho, kwiyiriza ubusa, ibikorwa by’ubugwaneza no kwibabaza,
yari yasobanukiwe ko ari impano idatangirwa ” igiciro runaka cyangwa amafaranga.”
Ubwo yari amaze gukomera mu kwizera Kristo, umutima we wagurumanagamo icyifuzo
cyo kwamamaza hose ubutumwa bwiza bw’ubuntu Imana igirira abantu nta kiguzi. Yaravuze
ati: ” Isi yose nayifataga nka paruwasi nyobora, mu karere kose k’isi aho nashoboraga kuba
ndi, nabonaga ko bikwiriye kandi bitunganye ndetse nkumva ari inshingano yanjye ko mbwira
ubutumwa bwiza bw’agakiza abashaka kumva bose.” 276
Yakomeje imibereho ye idakebakeba kandi yo kwiyanga, ariko noneho atari yo shingiro
ryo kwizera kwe ahubwo ari ingaruka yako; atari umuzi w’ubutungane, ahubwo ari amatunda
yabwo. Ubuntu bw’Imana muri Yesu-Kristo ni ishingiro ry’ibyiringiro bya Gikristo, kandi
ubwo buntu buzagaragarira mu kumvira. Ubuzima bwa Wesley yari yaraburunduriye mu
murimo wo kubwiriza ukuri gukomeye yari yarakiriye ari ko: — kugirwa intungane binyuze
mu kwizera amaraso ya Yesu-Kristo akuraho ibyaha, n’imbaraga ihindura umutima ya
Mwuka Muziranenge maze ikera imbuto mu mibereho ikurikiza urugero rwa Kristo.

yaramaranye igihe kirekire umwemeza ko ashobora kurimbuka; bityo bibatera kubasha
kwihanganira ibirushya nk’abasirikare beza ba Kristo. Bari baranyuze mu gusuzugurwa,
