Ukuhlanjululwa Kokuziphatha—Kubonakalisa Ubungcwele BukaNkulunkulu | UMbuso KaNkulunkulu\nIndlela iNkosi efundise ngayo abalandeli bayo ukuthi bahloniphe izimiso zikaNkulunkulu zokuziphatha\nAke uzicabange ungena emasangweni eguma elingaphandle lethempeli likaJehova elikhulu\n1. UHezekheli wabonani okusitshiya sibambe owangaphansi?\nUBUNGAZIZWA njani nxa ubungabona lokho okwabonwa ngumphrofethi uHezekheli eminyakeni engaba ngu-2 500 eyadlulayo? Ake ucabange: Ufika ethempelini elikhulukazi elikhazimulayo. Kulengilosi elamandla khonapho ezokutshengisa indawo le enhle okwamagama! Uyakhwela ngamakhwelelo ayisikhombisa akungenisa kwelinye lamasango amathathu ethempeli. Amasango la akutshiya ubambe owangaphansi. Angamamitha angaba ngu-30 ubude. Nxa ungena phakathi ubona izindlwana zabalindi ezintathu. Imiduli yakhona iceciswe ngemidwebo yesihlahla selala esihle.—Hez. 40:1-4, 10, 14, 16, 22; 41:20.\n2. (a) Limelani ithempeli elisembonweni kaHezekheli? (Khangela lamabala angaphansi.) (b) Singafundani ezintweni ezitshiyeneyo ezisemasangweni ethempeli?\n2 Lo ngumbono wethempeli elingokomfanekiso. UHezekheli wachaza izinto ezinengi ezazikulo okokuthi izahluko 40 kusiya ku-48 zebhuku lakhe eliyisiphrofetho zikhuluma ngalo kuphela. Ithempeli leli limela uhlelo lukaJehova lokukhonza okuhlanzekileyo. Konke okusethempelini leli kusifundisa okuthile ngendlela okumele sikhonze ngayo kulezi zinsuku zokucina. * Amelani amasango aphakemeyo? Asikhumbuza ukuthi labo abangena ohlelweni lukaJehova lokukhonza okuhlanzekileyo kumele baphile ngezimiso zakhe eziphakemeyo lezilungileyo. Lemidwebo yezihlahla zelala iyakugcizelela lokhu ngoba kwezinye izikhathi izihlahla lezi eBhayibhilini zimela ukulunga. (Hubo. 92:12) Izindlwana zabalindi zona zimelani? Kuyakhanya ukuthi labo abehluleka ukuhlonipha izimiso ezingcwele kabavunyelwa ukungena endleleni le yokukhonza okuhlanzekileyo enhle lenika ukuphila.—Hez. 44:9.\n3. Kungani bekumele abalandeli bakaKhristu baqhubeke behlanjululwa?\n3 Umbono kaHezekheli ugcwaliseke njani? ESahlukweni 2 sebhuku leli safunda ukuthi uJehova wasebenzisa uKhristu ukuze abantu bakhe bacengwe kusukela ngo-1914 kwaze kwaba sekuqaliseni kuka-1919. Ukucengwa kwacina khonapho yini? Ngitsho lakancane! Eminyakeni elikhulu edlulileyo, uKhristu uqhubeke esiba leqiniso lokuthi izimiso zikaNkulunkulu zokuziphatha ezingcwele ziyalandelwa. Yikho bekumele abalandeli bakhe baqhubeke behlanjululwa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi uKhristu ubeqoqa abalandeli bakhe ebehlukanisa lomhlaba lo ogcwele ukuziphatha okwenyanyekayo njalo uSathane kadeli, uqhubeka ezama ukuthi ababuyisele ekuziphatheni okubi. (Bala u-2 Phetro 2:20-22.) Kasihloleni izinto ezintathu amaKhristu eqiniso abelokhu ehlanjululwa kuzo. Sizaqala ngokuhlola indlela ukuziphatha kwethu okuhlanjululwe ngayo, sikhangele indlela eqakathekileyo yokugcina ibandla lihlanzekile, besesicina ngokukhangela ukuthi impilo yemuli ithuthukiswe njani.\nUkuhlanjululwa Kokuziphatha Eminyakeni Edlulileyo\n4, 5. Yiliphi iqhinga uSathane aselesikhathi eside elisebenzisa, njalo uphumelele kangakanani?\n4 Abantu bakaNkulunkulu bebezimisele ukuziphatha kuhle kusukela kudala. Yikho okubenze bamukela iziqondiso ezicacileyo abaziphiwayo endabeni le. Nanzi ezinye izibonelo.\n5 Ukuziphatha okubi kwezemacansini. UJehova wayefuna ukuthi abantu abatshadileyo bajabulele ezemacansini njalo baziphathe ngendlela ehlanzekileyo. USathane ukholisa ukutshila isipho lesi esiligugu, asenze sibe yinto engcolileyo alinga ngayo abantu bakaJehova ukwenzela ukuthi bacine bengasamukeleki. USathane waphumelela ukuhuga abanengi esebenzisa iqhinga leli kudala ngezikhathi zikaBhalami, njalo ulisebenzisa ukwedlula loba nini kulezi zinsuku zokucina.—AmaN. 25:1-3, 9; Isam. 2:14.\n6. Yisiphi isifungo esabhalwa ku-Watch Tower, njalo sasisetshenziswa njani, futhi kungani sacina singasasetshenziswa? (Khangela lamabala angaphansi.)\n6 I-Watch Tower kaJune 15, 1908 yasiza ekulwisaneni lemizamo le kaSathane ngokubhala isifungo esasilamazwi athi: “Ngasosonke isikhathi nxa ngisekusithekeni lomuntu engingatshadanga laye, ngizaziphatha ngendlela ebengizaziphatha ngayo aluba besisebantwini.” * Lanxa bengazange babanjwe ngenkani ukuthi benze isifungo lesi, abanengi basamukela njalo bahambisa amabizo abo ukuze abhalwe ku-Zion’s Watch Tower. Ngemva kweminyaka ethile, kwasekukhanya ukuthi lanxa isifungo lesi sasike sasiza abanengi, sasesisiba ngumkhuba nje ongatsho lutho; ngakho sacina singasasetshenziswa. Kodwa isimiso esihle sokuziphatha esasenze kwaba lesifungo lesi saqhubeka silandelwa.\n7. Ngo-1935, iNqabayokulinda yakhuluma ngaluphi uhlupho, njalo yagcizelela siphi isimiso?\n7 USathane waqhubeka esilwa ngamandla. INqabayokulinda kaMarch 1, 1935 yakhuluma ngohlupho olwaselumemetheka ebantwini bakaNkulunkulu. Kukhanya angathi kulabanye abasebecabanga ukuthi nxa babetshumayela, uJehova wayengasoze abe lendaba lokuthi babeziphatha njani ezimpilweni zabo. INqabayokulinda yaqondisa umbono lo yathi: “Umuntu ngamunye kumele akhumbule ukuthi ukwenza umsebenzi wokufakaza kayisikho kodwa okufunekayo. OFakazi bakaJehova bangabameli bakhe, njalo kungumlandu wabo ukuthi bamele kuhle uJehova lombuso wakhe.” Isihloko lesi sanika iseluleko esicacileyo mayelana lomtshado kanye lokuziphatha kwezemacansini, okwasiza abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukuthi ‘babalekele ukuxhwala kobufebe.’—1 Khor. 6:18.\n8. Kungani iNqabayokulinda ibihlala igcizelela incazelo yebala lesiGiriki elitsho ukuziphatha okubi emacansini?\n8 Eminyakeni esanda kwedlula, iNqabayokulinda ibihlala isichasisela ukuthi litshoni sibili ibala elasetshenziswa eMibhalweni yesiGiriki elichaza ukuziphatha okubi kwezemacansini, elithi por·neiʹa. Kalitsho abantu abahlangana emacansini kuphela. Kodwa elithi por·neiʹa ligoqela izenzo ezinengi zokuziphatha okubi kanye lezenzo zonke ezingcolileyo ezingenziwa lezifebe. Ngakho-ke abalandeli bakaKhristu bavikelwe ukuthi bangathatheki ngezinkanuko zobufebe esezimemetheke zahuga abanengi lamuhla.—Bala u-Efesu 4:17-19.\n9, 10. (a) Yiluphi udaba oluphathelane lokuziphatha olwaphuma ku-Nqabayokulinda ka-1935? (b) Yiziphi izimiso zeBhayibhili ezisebenzayo nxa umuntu enatha utshwala?\n9 Ukunatha utshwala okungaqondanga. INqabayokulinda kaMarch 1, 1935 yakhuluma ngolunye udaba oluphathelane lokuziphatha, yathi: “Sesiphinde sakunanzelela ukuthi abanye babuya benathe [utshwala] ekutshumayeleni kanye lalapho besenza eminye imisebenzi enhlanganisweni. IMibhalo ivumela ukuthi iwayini inathwe nxa kutheni? Kuqondile yini ukuthi umuntu ayinathe ize iphambanise inkonzo yakhe enhlanganisweni yeNkosi?”\n10 Impendulo yemibuzo le yachaza ukuthi iLizwi likaNkulunkulu lithini ngotshwala. IBhayibhili lithi akukubi ukunatha iwayini lotshwala obulingeneyo, kodwa liyakusola kakhulu ukudakwa. (Hubo. 104:14, 15; 1 Khor. 6:9, 10) Ukuze kucaciswe ukuthi umuntu anganatha utshwala yini engakenzi inkonzo engcwele, izinceku zikaNkulunkulu bezihlala zikhunjuzwa ngendaba yamadodana ka-Aroni abulawa nguNkulunkulu ngenxa yokuthi anikela ngomlilo e-alithare lakhe engalaywanga ukuthi enze njalo. Nxa indaba le iqhubeka, iyakuveza lokho okumele ukuthi kwabangela ukuthi amadoda la enze into engaqondanga, ngoba uNkulunkulu wanika umthetho owawusalisa bonke abaphristi ukuthi banathe utshwala nxa bezakuyakwenza imisebenzi engcwele. (Levi. 10:1, 2, 8-11) Abalandeli bakaKhristu lamuhla bayasilandela isimiso lesi ngokunganathi utshwala nxa kumele benze inkonzo engcwele.\n11. Kungani kuyisibusiso ukuthi abantu bakaNkulunkulu bacaciselwe ngokudakwa?\n11 Abalandeli bakaKhristu babusisiwe eminyakeni esanda kwedlula ngokucaciselwa mayelana lomkhuba wokudakwa, owenza umuntu aphilele utshwala njalo abe yisigqili sabo. Ulwazi olufika ngesikhathi esifaneleyo lusize abanengi benelisa ukuqeda umkhuba lo bacina bengaseyizo izigqili zotshwala. Lwasiza labanengi ababengakabi yizidakwa ukuthi bahle bahambele khatshana lomkhuba lo. Akulamuntu okumele avumele umkhuba wokudakwa umehlise isithunzi, udilize imuli yakhe kumbe umthathele isibusiso esiqakatheke kakhulu sokukhonza uJehova ngendlela ehlanzekileyo.\n“Ngeke siyicabange iNkosi yethu inuka intuthu yegwayi kumbe ifake emlonyeni wayo loba yiphi into engayingcolisa.”—C. T. Russell\n12. Izinceku zikaKhristu zazikubona njani ukubhema izinsuku zokucina zingakaqalisi?\n12 Ukubhema igwayi. Izinceku zikaKhristu zaqalisa ukusola umkhuba wokubhema, izinsuku zokucina zingakaqalisi lokuqalisa. Eminyakeni edlulileyo, uMfowethu osekhulile uCharles Capen wakhuluma ngalokho okwenzakalayo mhla ebona uCharles Taze Russell okokuqala, sekuzafika umnyaka ka-1900. Wayeleminyaka engu-13, ehlezi labanewabo abathathu emnyango we-Bible House e-Allegheny, ePennsylvania. URussell wathi edlula phansi kwabo wababuza wathi: “Liyabhema yini bafana? Kunuka intuthu yegwayi lapha.” Bamqinisekisa ukuthi babengabhemi. Kwahle kwabacacela ukuthi wayewuzonda umkhuba wokubhema. UMfowethu uRussell wakhuluma ngo-2 Khorinte 7:1 ku-Watch Tower ka-August 1, 1895 wathi: ‘Angiboni ukuthi kungamdumisa njani uNkulunkulu lokuthi kumnceda ngani umKhristu ukuthi abheme igwayi. Ngeke siyicabange iNkosi yethu inuka intuthu yegwayi kumbe ifake emlonyeni wayo loba yiphi into engayingcolisa.’\n13. Yikuphi ukuhlanjululwa ekuziphatheni okwaba khona ngo-1973?\n13 Ngo-1935, iNqabayokulinda yabiza igwayi ngokuthi “lukhula olwenyanyekayo,” yasisithi loba ngubani owayekhetha ukulihlafuna loba ukulibhema wayengasoze aqhubeke eseBhetheli kumbe emela inhlanganiso kaNkulunkulu emsebenzini wokuphayona kumbe owokuhambela. Ngo-1973 kwaphinda kwaba lokunye ukuhlanjululwa. INqabayokulinda kaJune 1 yachaza ukuthi akulamuntu owayenguFakazi kaJehova owayengaqhubeka ekhonza ebandleni ngapha elomkhuba lo obulalayo, ongcolisayo njalo ongatshengisi uthando. Labo ababengafuni ukwekela igwayi babezasuswa ebandleni. * UKhristu wayesephinde wenza umsebenzi oqakathekileyo wokuhlambulula abantu bakhe.\n14. Umthetho kaNkulunkulu uthini ngegazi, njalo umkhuba wokufaka igazi wasabalala njani?\n14 Ukusebenzisa igazi ngendlela engaqondanga. Ngezinsuku zikaNowa, uNkulunkulu wayethe igazi kwakungamelanga lidliwe. Waphinda wakugcizelela eMthethweni awunika isizwe sako-Israyeli, njalo wanika ibandla lamaKhristu umlayo wokuthi ‘baxwaye ububende’ kumbe igazi. (ImiSeb. 15:20, 29; Gen. 9:4; Levi. 7:26) Akumangalisi ukuthi ezinsukwini zalamuhla uSathane wathola indlela yokwenza ukuthi abanengi bangawulaleli umthetho lo ongcwele. Eminyakeni yabo-1800, odokotela babefuna ukubona ukuthi ukwelapha besebenzisa igazi kungenzeka yini, kodwa bathe sebethole ukuthi imihlobo yegazi iyatshiyana, indlela le yokwelapha yaqalisa ukusabalala. Ngo-1937 baqalisa ukuthatha igazi ebantwini besiyaligcina, iMpi Yomhlaba Yesibili yasisenza ukuthi abanengi bafakwe igazi. Ngesikhatshana nje ukufaka igazi kwasekuyindlela yokwelapha ejayelekileyo eyayisisetshenziswa emhlabeni wonke.\n15, 16. (a) OFakazi bakaJehova babemi ngaphi endabeni yokufakwa igazi? (b) Yiluphi usizo abalandeli bakaKhristu abaluphiweyo endabeni yokwelatshwa kungasetshenziswa gazi, njalo kube lempumela bani?\n15 Ngo-1944 iNqabayokulinda yaveza ukuthi ukufakwa igazi kuyafanana nje lokulidla. Ngomnyaka owalandelayo, kwagcizelelwa njalo kwacaciswa lokho iMibhalo ekutshoyo ngendaba le. Kusiyafika u-1951, kwasekubhalwa uluhlu lwemibuzo lezimpendulo ku-Nqabayokulinda, olwalusiza abantu bakaNkulunkulu ukuthi benelise ukuchazela odokotela ngendaba le. Abalandeli bakaKhristu abathembekileyo emhlabeni wonke baba lesibindi sokwala ukufakwa igazi, lanxa izikhathi ezinengi kwakukhulunywa kubi ngabo, bephikiswa njalo behlukuluzwa. Kodwa uKhristu waqhubeka esebenzisa inhlanganiso yakhe ukuthi ibanike usizo ababeludinga. Kwakuchwayisiswa, besekubhalwa amabhukwana kanye lezihloko ezaziyichaza kuhle indaba yegazi.\n16 Ngo-1979, kulabadala abaqalisa ukuyachazela odokotela ezibhedlela ukuthi kungani sisala ukufakwa igazi, bebatshengisa izizatho eziseMibhalweni kanye lezinye izindlela zokwelapha ezingasebenzisi igazi. Ngo-1980, abadala ababesemadolobheni angu-39 ase-United States baqeqetshwa ukuze babe zingcitshi emsebenzini lo. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi iQula Elibusayo lanika imvumo yokuthi kube leKhomithi Ebona Ngokusebenzelana Lezibhedlela. Imizamo yonke le yanceda yini? Lamuhla izinkulungwane zabodokotela ziyakulalela lokho okufunwa yizigulane ezingoFakazi, njalo ziyakuhlonipha ukuthi zikhetha ukwelatshwa kungasetshenziswanga igazi. Ziqhubeka zisanda izibhedlela esezivuma ukwelapha abantu kungasetshenziswa gazi, njalo ezinye zakhona zikubona kuyindlela engcono kulazo zonke yokwelapha abantu. Kuyasithokozisa kakhulu ukucabanga ngezindlela uJesu avikele ngazo abalandeli bakhe emizamweni kaSathane yokubangcolisa!—Bala u-Efesu 5:25-27.\nZiqhubeka zisanda izibhedlela esezivuma ukwelapha abantu kungasetshenziswa igazi, njalo ezinye zakhona zikubona kuyindlela engcono kulazo zonke yokwelapha abantu\n17. Singatshengisa njani ukuthi siyayiqakathekisa indlela uKhristu abehlambulula ngayo abalandeli bakhe?\n17 Kuhle ukuthi sizibuze ukuthi, ‘Siyayiqakathekisa yini indlela uKhristu abehlambulula ngayo abalandeli bakhe, esiqeqetsha ukuthi sinamathele ezimisweni zikaJehova zokuziphatha eziphakemeyo?’ Nxa siyiqakathekisa, kasihlaleni sikukhumbula ukuthi uSathane ufuna singabi lendaba lezimiso lezi ukwenzela ukuthi asehlukanise loJehova loJesu. Inhlanganiso kaJehova ilwisana lemizamo le ngokuhlala isixwayisa njalo isikhumbuza ngokuziphatha okubi okusemhlabeni lo. Kwangathi singahlakanipha, sizilalele njalo sizamukele izeluleko lezi ezisisizayo.—Zaga. 19:20.\nUkuvikela Ibandla Ukuze Lingangcoliswa\n18. Umbono kaHezekheli usipha siphi isikhumbuzo esicacileyo ngalabo abaphikisana lezimiso zikaNkulunkulu ngabomu?\n18 Indlela yesibili yokuhlambulula ukuziphatha kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu iphathelane lalokho okwenziwayo ukuze ibandla ligcinwe lihlanzekile. Kuyadanisa ukuthi kayisibo bonke abamukela izimiso zikaJehova zokuziphatha baze babhaphathizwe, abaqhubeka bethembekile. Abanye bayantshintsha ingqondo, bakhethe ukungazilandeli ngabomu izimiso lezi. Kumele kwenziweni ngabantu abanjalo? Impendulo singayithola embonweni kaHezekheli ophathelane lethempeli elingokomfanekiso esixoxe ngawo ekuqaliseni kwesahluko lesi. Khumbula ukuthi kwakulamasango aphakemeyo. Esangweni linye ngalinye, kwakulezindlwana zabalindi. Kuyacaca ukuthi abalindi babelivikela ithempeli, bevimbela labo ‘abangasokanga enhliziyweni’ ukuthi bangangeni kulo. (Hez. 44:9) Lokhu kuyasikhumbuza ukuthi ukukhonza okuhlanzekileyo kuyisibusiso salabo abazimisele ukuphila ngendlela uJehova ayamukelayo kuphela. Yikho-ke kayisibo bonke abelesibusiso sokukhonza ndawonye lamanye amaKhristu lamuhla.\n19, 20. (a) UKhristu uqhubeke ebasiza njani abalandeli bakhe ukuthi balungisise indlela abathonisisa ngayo amacala amakhulu? (b) Yiziphi izizatho ezintathu ezenza isoni esingaphendukiyo sisuswe?\n19 Ngo-1892, i-Watch Tower yathi “kungumsebenzi wethu ukususa (amaKhristu) aphikisa ngezindlela ezisegcekeni lezicatshileyo ukuthi uKhristu wazinikela waba yinhlawulo [inani elilinganayo] labantu bonke.” (Bala u-2 Johane 10.) Ngo-1904, ibhuku elithi The New Creation lathi labo abalentamo ezilukhuni abangafuni ukutshiya ukuziphatha okubi babuyisela ibandla emuva. Ngalesosikhathi ibandla lonke lalincedisa kulokho okwakubizwa ngokuthi “yikuthonisisa kwebandla” ukuze kuthonisiswe amacala amakhulu. Kodwa lokhu kwakungajayelekanga. Ngo-1944 iNqabayokulinda yathi amacala la kumele aphathwe ngabazalwane abakhethiweyo kuphela. Eka-1952 yasikhuluma ngendlela yokuthonisisa amacala esekelwe eBhayibhilini, yacacisa ukuthi isizatho esikhulu kulazo zonke sokususa isoni esingaphendukiyo, ngesokugcina ibandla lihlanzekile.\n20 Kusukela ngalesosikhathi, uKhristu ubesiza abalandeli bakhe ukuthi bathuthukise njalo balolonge indlela abathetha ngayo amacala amakhulu. Abadala abangamaKhristu baqeqetshwa kuhle ukuze benelise ukuthonisisa amacala ngendlela efunwa nguJehova, bahlulele ngokulunga langesihawu. Lamuhla ziyasicacela izizatho ezingaba ntathu ezenza ukuthi umuntu ongaphendukiyo esonweni sakhe asuswe ebandleni: (1) ukuze ibizo likaJehova ligcinwe lihlanzekile, (2) ukuze kuvikelwe ibandla ukuthi lingangcoliswa yisono esikhulu, (3) ukuze umuntu owenze isono aphenduke nxa kusenza.\n21. Kungani ukususwa kwezoni ezingaphendukiyo kuyisibusiso ebantwini bakaNkulunkulu?\n21 Uyabona yini ukuthi ukususwa kwezoni ezingaphendukiyo kuyisibusiso esingakanani kubalandeli bakaKhristu lamuhla? Ko-Israyeli wasendulo, abantu ababesona babecina bexhwalisa abanye, kwezinye izikhathi baze babe banengi ukwedlula labo ababethanda uJehova lababefuna ukwenza okulungileyo. Yikho-ke isizwe lesi sasihlala singcolisa ibizo likaJehova, wacina engasasamukeli. (Jer. 7:23-28) Kodwa lamuhla uJehova usebenzelana lamadoda kanye labesifazane abamthandayo. Ukususwa kwezoni ezingaphendukiyo kuyazivimbela ukuthi zingabi yizikhali zikaSathane, angazisebenzisa ukuthi aqhubeke exhwalisa njalo engcolisa ibandla. Yikho-ke uba mncane umonakalo ezingawenza ebandleni. Lokhu kusenza singathandabuzi ukuthi sizahlala sisamukelwa nguJehova siliqembu. Khumbula ukuthi uJehova wathembisa ukuthi: “Akulasikhali esikhandelwe wena esizaphumelela.” (Isaya. 54:17) Siyabasekela ngobuqotho yini abadala abalomsebenzi omkhulu wokuthonisisa amacala ebandleni?\nUkukhazimulisa Lowo Onika Yonke Imuli Ibizo Layo\n22, 23. Kungani siwabonga amaKhristu aphila ekuqaliseni kweminyaka yabo-1900, kodwa kuyini okufakazela ukuthi kulalapho okwakumele alungise khona endabeni yemuli?\n22 Indlela yesithathu esize abalandeli bakaKhristu ukuthi baqhubeke behlajululwa iphathelane lomtshado kanye lemuli. Umbono wethu ngemuli uhlanjululiwe eminyakeni edlulileyo. Ngokwesibonelo, kuyasimangalisa njalo kusithinte kwamancane ukufunda ngokuthi izinceku zikaNkulunkulu zazizidela njani eminyakeni yabo-1900. Siswele lemilomo yokubonga indlela abaqakathekisa ngayo inkonzo yabo engcwele ukwedlula loba yini empilweni yabo. Kodwa siyakunanzelela ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi kulalapho okwakumele balungise khona. Kungani sisitsho njalo?\n23 Kwakuyinsakavukela ukuthi abafowethu baphiwe imisebenzi ethile enkonzweni kumbe babe ngababonisi abahambela ezindaweni ezikhatshana kakhulu okwezinyanga ezinengi. Kwezinye izikhathi kwakugcizelelwa ukuthi abafowethu labodadewethu bangatshadi, kuze kweqele ngale kwalokho okuseMibhalweni. Kodwa kulutshwana okwakutshiwo ngokuthi amaKhristu angayiqinisa njani imitshado yawo. Abalandeli bakaKhristu basakwenza yini lokhu lamuhla? Hatshi!\nAmaKhristu akumelanga ehluleke ukunakekela izimuli zawo ngenxa yezabelo alazo ekukhonzeni\n24. UKhristu wabasiza njani abantu bakhe abathembekileyo ukuthi balungise umbono wabo endabeni yomtshado lemuli?\n24 Lamuhla amaKhristu akumelanga ehluleke ukunakekela izimuli zawo ngenxa yezabelo alazo ekukhonzeni. (Bala u-1 Thimothi 5:8.) UKhristu laye ube leqiniso lokuthi abalandeli bakhe abathembekileyo abasemhlabeni bayaqhubeka bethola izeluleko eziseMibhalweni eziphathelane lomtshado kanye lemuli. (Efe. 3:14, 15) Ngo-1978 kwethulwa ibhuku elithi Making Your Family Life Happy. Ngemva kweminyaka engaba ngu-18 kwasekusethulwa elithi The Secret of Family Happiness. Kanti njalo iNqabayokulinda ibilokhu isiba lezihloko ezenzelwe ukusiza abatshadileyo ukuthi baphile ngezimiso zeMibhalo emitshadweni yabo.\n25-27. Izidingo zabasakhulayo abaleminyaka eyehlukeneyo ziqhubeke ziqakathekiswa njani eminyakeni edlulileyo?\n25 Abasakhulayo ke? Izidingo zabo labo beziqhubeka ziqakathekiswa eminyakeni edlulileyo. Inhlanganiso kaJehova yaqalisa kudala ukwenzela abantwana abaleminyaka etshiyeneyo izinto ezinhle, kodwa okwaqalisa kulithonsi nje sokugeleza njengomfula. Ngokwesibonelo, kusukela ngo-1919 kusiya ku-1921, i-The Golden Age yayisiba lesihloko esithi “Juvenile Bible Study” (Izifundo ZeBhayibhili Zabantwana). Ngo-1920 kwaba lebhukwana elithi The Golden Age ABC njalo ngo-1941 kwabhalwa elithi Children. Ibhuku elithi Listening to the Great Teacher, lelithi Your Youth—Getting the Best out of It, kanye lelithi Ibhuku Lami Lezindaba ZeBhayibhili ethulwa ngabo-1970. Kanti njalo kusukela ngo-1982 kwaba lezihloko ezithi “Young People Ask” ku-Awake! inyanga ngayinye, okwenza ukuthi ngo-1989 kudindwe ibhuku elithi Questions Young People Ask—Answers That Work.\nIbhukwana elithi Izifundo Zami ZeBhayibhili lemukelwa ngentokozo enkulu emhlanganweni lo eGermany\n26 Lamuhla asemabili amabhuku alesihloko esithi Young People Ask, njalo ezinye izihloko lezi zitholakala kuWebhusayithi yethu i-jw.org. Elinye ibhuku esilalo ngelithi Learn From the Great Teacher. Kulezinto ezinengi kuWebhusayithi yethu ezinganceda abantwana, ezinjengamakhadi akhuluma ngabantu abaseBhayibhilini, okungenziwa ngabantwana abancane lasebekhulakhulile lapho befunda iBhayibhili, imidlalo, amavidiyo, izindaba zeBhayibhili ezilemifanekiso kanye lezifundo zeBhayibhili ezenzelwe abantwana abaleminyaka emithathu kusiya phansi. Kutsho ukuthi indlela uKhristu athanda ngayo abantwana kayikantshintshi njengoba nje ngekhulu lokuqala wasondeza abantwana kuye wabaphatha. (Mak. 10:13-16) Ufuna abantwana bafunde ngoNkulunkulu njalo babone ukuthi bayathandwa.\n27 UJesu ufuna lokuthi abantwana bavikelwe ukuze bangalinyazwa. Ukuhlukuluzwa kwabantwana sekumemetheke emhlabeni wonke ngenxa yokuthi abantu sebengene bacwila ekuziphatheni okwenyanyekayo. Yikho-ke, inhlanganiso ibilokhu ibhala izihloko ezicacileyo ezisiza abazali ukuthi bavikele abantwababo emkhubeni lo olesihluku kangaka. *\n28. (a) Kumele senzeni ukuze sisekele ukukhonza okuhlanzekileyo okumelwa lithempeli elisembonweni kaHezekheli?

Phinda ucabange ngethempeli uHezekheli alibona embonweni. Cabanga langamasango aphakemeyo. Kuliqiniso ukuthi kalisiyo ndawo eyakhiwe ngezitina, kodwa lingokomfanekiso. Lanxa kunjalo, siyakholwa yini ukuthi likhona sibili? Kasingeni kulo ngokuya eWolu yoMbuso, ngokubala iBhayibhili kumbe ngokuqoqoda emzini womuntu sisekutshumayeleni kuphela. Lezi yizinto ezikhanyayo emehlweni abantu. Lomzenzisi angazenza kodwa engazange angene ethempelini likaJehova. Kodwa nxa sikwenza konke lokhu, besesiphila ngezimiso zikaJehova eziphakemeyo njalo sisekela ukukhonza okuhlanzekileyo ngenhliziyo yonke, sesingenile njalo sesikhonza sisendaweni engcwele kulazo zonke, okutsho uhlelo lukaJehova uNkulunkulu lokukhonza okuhlanzekileyo! Kasisiphatheni okweqanda isibusiso lesi. Njalo kasiqhubekeni sisenza konke okusemandleni ethu ukuthi siphile ngezimiso zikaJehova ezilungileyo ukuze sibonakalise ubungcwele bukaJehova!\n^ indima 2 Ngo-1932, ibhuku lesibili kulawo ayebizwa ngokuthi Vindication latshengisa ukuthi iziphrofetho zeBhayibhili ezazikhuluma ngokubuyiselwa kwabantu bakaNkulunkulu elizweni labo zazizagcwaliseka ezinsukwini zalamuhla ku-Israyeli kaNkulunkulu, hatshi kuma-Israyeli ngokwawo. Iziphrofetho lezo zikhuluma ngokubuyiselwa kokukhonza okuhlanzekileyo. INqabayokulinda kaMarch 1, 1999 yachaza ukuthi umbono kaHezekheli wethempeli ungesinye seziphrofetho zokubuyiselwa, ngakho uqakathekile ngoba ugcwaliseka kulezi zinsuku zokucina.\n^ indima 6 Isifungo lesi sasisalisa ukuthi owesilisa lowesifazane babebodwa endlini umnyango uvaliwe, ngaphandle nxa betshadile kumbe beyizihlobo eziseduze.

Usakhumbula Yini?—December 2016 | Isifundo\nYisiphi isono uJesu ayekhuluma ngaso lapho enika iseluleko esikuMathewu 18:15-17?\nWayekhuluma ngezindaba okungadingeka ukuthi abaphambaniseneyo bazilungise bebodwa. Wayengatsho izindaba ezincane nje kodwa wayesitsho izono ezingenza ukuthi omunye asuswe nxa engaphenduki. Ngokwesibonelo wayekhuluma ngezono ezigoqela ubuqili loba ukukhuluma kubi ngomunye umuntu.—w16.05, ikhasi 7.\nUngenzani ukuze uncedakale nxa ubala iBhayibhili?\nNanku ongakwenza: Dinga izifundo eziqakathekileyo ubone ukuthi okubalayo ungakusebenzisa njani empilweni yakho. Zibuze: ‘Ngingakusebenzisa njani engikufundayo ukuthi ngisize abanye?’ Sebenzisa amanye amathuluzi esilawo ukuze uchwayisise okunengi ngendaba obala ngayo.—w16.05, amakhasi 24-26.\nKubi yini ukuthi umKhristu adabuke lanxa ekholwa ukuthi abantu abafileyo bazavuswa?\nUkukholwa ukuthi abafileyo bazavuswa akubukhiphi ubuhlungu bokufelwa. U-Abhrahama wamlilela uSara. (Gen. 23:2) Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ubuhlungu bokufelwa buba nganeno.—wp16.3, ikhasi 4.\nWonke amadoda la amela amabutho asezulwini ayezahlanganyela ekubhujisweni kweJerusalema futhi azahlanganyela lapho sekubhujiswa umhlaba lo obuswa nguSathane ngesikhathi se-Amagedoni. Indoda ethwele uphondo lweyinki imela uJesu Khristu ngoba nguye ophathiswe umsebenzi wokubeka uphawu kulabo abazasinda.—w16.06, amakhasi 16-17.\nIBhayibhili lasinda kuziphi izingozi?\nIBhayibhili kalizange litshabalaliswe (1) yikubola kwempahla elalibhalelwa kuyo enjengezikhumba kanye lohlobo lomhlanga oluthiwa yi-papyrus; (2) yizitha ezazigoqela abezombusazwe labafundisi, (3) labantu ababezama ukuntshintsha elikutshoyo.—wp16.4, amakhasi 4-7.\nYiziphi izindlela umKhristu angazisebenzisa ukuze enze ukuphila kwakhe kube lula?\nHlolisisa izinto ozidingayo, sebenzisa imali ngonanzelelo.

Amandla kaNkulunkulu: UJehova, uNkulunkulu uSomandla Ulamandla Amakhulu | Sondela\n“UJehova . . . Ulamandla Amakhulu”\n1, 2. Yiziphi izinto ezimangalisayo u-Elija ayeke wazibona empilweni, kodwa yiziphi izenzakalo ezimangalisa kakhulu azibona esebhalwini lweNtaba yaseHorebi?\nU-ELIJA wayeke wabona izinto ezimangalisa kakhulu. Wabona amawabayi emphathela ukudla kabili ngelanga ngesikhathi ecatshile. Kwathi ngesikhathi sendlala, wabona ifulawa ingapheli esitsheni kanye lamafutha engapheli phakathi kodiwo. Waphinda wabona uNkulunkulu ephendula umthandazo wakhe ngokwenza ukuthi umlilo wehle uvela ezulwini. (1 AmaKhosi, izahluko 17, 18) Lanxa kunjalo, u-Elija wayesazobona okunye okukhulu ukwedlula lokhu.\n2 Njengoba wayeqotsheme entubeni yobhalu lweNtaba yaseHorebi, wabona ukulandelana kwezenzakalo ezimangalisayo. Kwaqala kwaba lomoya ovunguzayo. Umoya lo wawuvunguza ngamandla usenza umsindo omkhulu ngenxa yokuthi wawudabula izintaba uqhekeza lamatshe. Kwalandela ukuzamazama komhlaba okwakhipha amandla amakhulu avalelwe ngaphansi komhlabathi. Ngemva kwalokho kwalandela umlilo. Kungenzakala ukuthi u-Elija wezwa ukutshisa okukhulu njengoba umlilo lo wawuthanyela indawo yonke.—1 AmaKhosi 19:8-12.\n‘UJehova wayedlula khonapho’\n3. Kuyini okwabonwa ngu-Elija okuyibufakazi bamandla kaNkulunkulu, njalo thina singawabona kuziphi izinto amandla la?\n3 Zonke izenzakalo lezi ezitshiyeneyo ezabonwa ngu-Elija zazilokufanana okuthile ngoba zazitshengisa amandla amakhulu kaJehova uNkulunkulu. Liqiniso ukuthi kakudingeki ukuthi size sizibonele ngawethu izimangaliso zakhe ukuze sizwisise ukuthi ulamandla. Kusegcekeni ukuthi ulawo. IBhayibhili lisitshela ukuthi izinto ezidaliweyo zisipha ubufakazi obuphathelane ‘lamandla angapheliyo kanye lobuNkulunkulu’ bukaJehova. (KwabaseRoma 1:20) Cabanga ngokuphazima kombane, ukuduma okukhulu kwezulu, impophoma zamanzi kanye lokumangalisa kwesibhakabhaka esigcwele izinkanyezi! Konke lokhu kusitshengisa amandla amakhulu kaNkulunkulu. Kodwa emhlabeni lamuhla abanengi kabawananzeleli amandla kaNkulunkulu. Lanxa kunjalo, bakhona abalutshwana abawazwisisa kuhle. Ukuzwisisa amandla la kaNkulunkulu kusenza sibe lezizathu ezinengi zokusondela kuye. Esahlukweni lesi, sizafunda okunengi okuphathelane lamandla kaJehova amakhulu kakhulu.\nUphawu Lobuntu bukaJehova Oluqakathekileyo\n4, 5. (a) Ibizo likaJehova lihambisana njani lobukhulu bakhe, kumbe amandla akhe? (b) Kungani kuqondile ukuthi uJehova wakhetha inkabi ukuthi imele amandla akhe?\n4 UJehova ulamandla angafanani lawo munye umuntu. UJeremiya 10:6 uthi: “Kakho ofana lawe, wena Jehova; wena umkhulu, lebizo lakho lilamandla amakhulu.” Nanzelela ukuthi ubukhulu kumbe amandla kuhambisana lebizo likaJehova. Khumbula, sacaciselwa ukuthi ibizo leli litsho ukuthi “Wenza Ukuthi Kube Khona.” Kuyini okwenza ukuthi uJehova enelise ukudala loba yini ayifunayo lokuthi abe yiloba yini afuna ukuba yiyo? Okokuqala ngamandla akhe. Ukwenelisa kukaJehova ukufeza intando yakhe kakupheli. Amandla la angolunye uphawu oluqakathekileyo lobuntu bakhe.\n5 UJehova usebenzisa imizekeliso ukuze asenze sizwisise ubukhulu bamandla akhe ngenxa yokuthi kasingeke senelise ukuwazwisisa kuhle. Njengoba sesibonile, usebenzisa inkabi ukuthi imele amandla akhe. (UHezekheli 1:4-10) Umzekeliso lowo uqondile ngenxa yokuthi lenkabi efuywayo inkulu futhi ilamandla. Abantu basePalestine bezikhathi zeBhayibhili babesazi inyamazana efuywayo le kuyiyo yodwa elamandla amakhulu. Kodwa babesazi langenye inkabi ethile yeganga eyayisesabeka ukwedlula efuywayo futhi leyonkabi kayisekho lamuhla. (UJobe 39:9-12) UMbusi waseRoma uJulius Caesar wathi izinkabi lezi zaziphosa zilingane lezindlovu. Wabhala wathi: “Amandla azo makhulu kakhulu futhi zilesiqubu esikhulu.” Cabanga ukuthi ubungazizwa umncane futhi ungelamandla kangakanani nxa ubungama eceleni kwenyamazana engako!\n6. Kungani uJehova kunguye yedwa obizwa ngokuthi ‘nguSomandla’?\n6 Ngendlela efananayo, umuntu mncane futhi kalamandla nxa eqathaniswa loJehova uNkulunkulu olamandla. Kuye, ngitsho lezizwe ezilamandla zibalwa njengothuli olusezilinganisweni. (U-Isaya 40:15) UJehova yena kafanani laloba yisiphi isidalwa, ulamandla angapheliyo yikho kunguye yedwa obizwa ngokuthi ‘nguSomandla.’ * (ISambulo 15:3) UJehova ‘ulamandla amakhulu, lokuqina okulamandla.’ (U-Isaya 40:26) Ungumthombo ongapheliyo wamandla. Kadingi amandla kunoma yini, ngenxa yokuthi “amandla ngakaNkulunkulu.” (IHubo 62:11, NW) Kodwa uJehova uwasebenzisa njani amandla akhe?\nIndlela uJehova Asebenzisa Ngayo Amandla Akhe\n7. Uyini umoya ongcwele kaJehova, futhi amabala olimi okwakuvele kubhalwe ngalo iBhayibhili kuqala atshoni?\n7 Umoya ongcwele othululwa nguJehova kawupheli. Umoya ongcwele ungamandla kaNkulunkulu awasebenzisayo. KuGenesisi 1:2, iBhayibhili lithi “ngamandla [kaNkulunkulu, (NW)] asebenzayo.” Amabala esiHebheru lesiGiriki ahunyutshwe ngokuthi “umoya” kwezinye izindawo angahunyutshwa ngokuthi “umoya ovunguzayo,” kumbe “umoya esiwuphefumulayo.” Ngokwabalobi bezichazamazwi, amabala olimi olwalusetshenziswe ukubhala iBhayibhili kuqala angatsho amandla angabonakaliyo asebenzayo. Njengoba singeke sawubona umoya ovunguzayo, lomoya kaNkulunkulu kasingeke sawubona kodwa imisebenzi yawo siyayibona njalo siyayizwisisa.\n8. EBhayibhilini, umoya kaNkulunkulu ubizwa ngokuthini, futhi kungani kuqondile ukuthi kufananiswe njalo?\n8 Umoya ongcwele kaNkulunkulu uyenelisa ukwenza loba yini. UJehova uyenelisa ukuwusebenzisa ukuze afeze loba yiphi injongo alayo. Kuyacaca-ke eBhayibhilini ukuthi umoya kaNkulunkulu ubizwa ngendlela yokufananisa ngokuthi ‘ngumunwe’ wakhe, ‘yisandla sakhe esiqinileyo,’ kumbe ‘yingalo yakhe eyelulekileyo.’ (ULukha 11:20; UDutheronomi 5:15; IHubo 8:3) Njengoba nje umuntu engasebenzisa izandla zakhe ukwenza imisebenzi etshiyeneyo edinga amandla angalinganiyo kumbe ubuciko obuthile, loNkulunkulu laye angasebenzisa umoya wakhe ukuze afeze loba yiphi inhloso alayo. Ngokwesibonelo, wasebenzisa amandla akhe ukudala i-athomu encane kakhulu, ukwehlukanisa amanzi eLwandle Olubomvu lokwenza amaKhristu ekhulu lokuqala akhulume ngezindimi zakwamanye amazwe.\n9. Amandla kaJehova okubusa makhulu kangakanani?\n9 UJehova uphinde asebenzise amandla akhe ngoba unguMbusi weNdawo Yonke. Ake uzicabange ulezinceku ezihlakaniphileyo eziyizigidi lezigidi, zizimisele ukwenza intando yakho! UJehova ulamandla anjalo okubusa. Ulezinceku ezingabantu futhi eMibhalweni zandise ukufananiswa lebutho. (IHubo 68:11; 110:3) Kodwa umuntu ubuthakathaka nxa eqathaniswa lezingilosi. Phela ngesikhathi ibutho lama-Asiriya lihlasela abantu bakaNkulunkulu, ingilosi eyodwa nje yabulala amasotsha angu-185 000 ngobusuku obubodwa! (2 AmaKhosi 19:35) Izingilosi zikaNkulunkulu “zilamandla amakhulu.”—IHubo 103:19, 20, NW.\n10. (a) Kungani uSomandla ebizwa ngokuthi nguJehova wamabutho? (b) Ngubani olamandla ukwedlula zonke izidalwa zikaJehova?\n10 Kulezingilosi ezingaki? UDanyeli wabona umbono wezulu lapho abona khona izidalwa zomoya ezedlula i-100 miliyoni zimi phambi kwesihlalo sobukhosi sikaJehova, kodwa kakulabufakazi bokuthi wabona zonke izingilosi ezadalwayo. (UDanyeli 7:10) Ngakho kungenzakala ukuthi kulezingilosi ezingamakhulu ezigidi. Yikho uNkulunkulu ebizwa ngokuthi nguJehova wamabutho. Ibizo leli lokuhlonipha litshengisa isikhundla sakhe esikhulu njengoMlawuli wezingilosi ezinengi ezilamandla futhi ezihlelwe kuhle. Kulengilosi eyodwa ayibeke ukuthi ikhokhele zonke lezizidalwa zomoya. Leyongilosi yiNdodana yakhe ayithandayo, ‘elizibulo kukho konke okwadalwayo.’ (KwabaseKholose 1:15) Njengengilosi enkulu, uJesu nguye olamandla kulayo yonke indalo kaJehova, uyinduna yazozonke izingilosi ezigoqela amaserafi lamakherubhi.\n11, 12. (a) Ilizwi likaNkulunkulu lilamandla ngayiphi indlela? (b) UJesu wabufakazela njani ubukhulu bamandla kaJehova?\n11 UJehova usebenzisa amandla akhe ngenye futhi indlela. UHebheru 4:12 uthi: “Ilizwi likaNkulunkulu liyaphila njalo liyasebenza.” Wake wawananzelela yini amandla elizwi likaNkulunkulu, kumbe awomlayezo ophefumulelweyo oseBhayibhilini? Ilizwi lakhe lingasiqinisa, liqinise lokholo lwethu, futhi lisincede sintshintshe indlela ebesiphila ngayo. Umphostoli uPhawuli waxwayisa amakholwa ayekhonza lawo ukuthi angazihlanganisi labantu ababeziphatha kubi kwezemacansini. Waphinda wathi: “Lokho yikho abanye benu ababe yikho.” (1 KwabaseKhorinte 6:9-11) Amandla ‘elizwi likaNkulunkulu’ asebenza kubo futhi abanceda ukuthi benze untshintsho.\n12 Amandla kaJehova makhulu kakhulu futhi uwasebenzisa ngendlela yokuthi akulalutho olungamvimbela ukuthi awasebenzise. UJesu wathi: “KuNkulunkulu zonke izinto ziyenzeka.” (UMathewu 19:26) UJehova usebenzisa amandla akhe ukuze afeze ziphi izinjongo?\nAmandla Aqondiswa Yinhloso\n13, 14. (a) Kungani singathi uJehova kayisiwo mandla nje angaphiliyo? (b) UJehova uwasebenzisa ngaziphi izindlela amandla akhe?\n13 Umoya kaJehova mkhulu ukwedlula loba yiwaphi amandla emvelo, futhi uJehova kayisiwo mandla nje angaphiliyo loba okungumthombo nje kwamandla. UnguNkulunkulu ophilayo osebenzisa amandla akhe ngendlela athanda ngayo. Kodwa kuyini okumenza awasebenzise?\n14 Njengoba sizabona, uNkulunkulu usebenzisa amandla akhe ukuthi adale, abhubhise, avikele njalo abuyisele izinto kulokho ebeziyikho kuqala. Ngamafitshane, uwasebenzisa ukuze enze loba yini ehambisana lezinhloso zakhe ezipheleleyo. (U-Isaya 46:10) Ngezinye izikhathi, uJehova usebenzisa amandla akhe ukuze aveze izimpawu zobuntu bakhe eziqakathekileyo kanye lezimiso zakhe. Okwedlula konke yikuthi uqondisa amandla akhe ukuze enze intando yakhe, ukuze abuyisele ukubusa kwakhe futhi ukuze angcwelise ibizo lakhe elingcwele esebenzisa uMbuso kaMesiya. Kakulalutho olungenza inhloso leyo ingaphumeleli.\n15. UJehova usebenzisa amandla akhe ngayiphi injongo ezincekwini zakhe, futhi isibonelo sika-Elija sakutshengisa njani lokhu?\n15 UJehova uphinde asebenzise amandla akhe ukuze asincede njengomuntu munye ngamunye. Nanzelela ukuthi u-2 ImiLando 16:9 uthi: “Ngoba amehlo kaJehova athungatha umhlaba wonke ukuze aqinise labo abanhliziyo zabo zizimisele kuye.” Esinye isibonelo yilokho esike sakhuluma ngakho ngo-Elija ekuqaliseni kwesahluko lesi. Kungani uJehova wamnika umzekeliso onjalo omangalisayo wamandla akhe? INdlovukazi eyayilesihluku uJezebheli yayifungile ukuthi yayizabulala u-Elija. Yikho umprofethi lo wayebaleka ukuze angabulawa. Wayezizwa elesizungu, esesaba futhi edanile, kwakungathi ukusebenza kwakhe gadalala kwakungancedanga ngalutho. UJehova waduduza u-Elija ngokumkhumbuza ngamandla akhe. Umoya, ukuzamazama komhlaba, kanye lomlilo kwatshengisa ukuthi uMuntu omkhulu ukwedlula bonke wayelo-Elija. Kwakungelasizathu sokwesaba uJezebheli ngoba uNkulunkulu usomandla wayelaye.—1 AmaKhosi 19:1-12. *\n16. Kungani ukucabanga ngamandla amakhulu kaJehova kusiduduza?\n16 Lanxa lesi kungasiso sikhathi sakhe sokwenza izimangaliso, uJehova kantshintshanga kusukela ngesikhathi sika-Elija. (1 KwabaseKhorinte 13:8) Lakhathesi ulokhu ekuthanda ukusebenzisa amandla akhe ukuze ancede labo abamthandayo. Kuliqiniso ukuthi uhlala endaweni yomoya, kodwa kakho khatshana lathi. Amandla akhe kawapheli, ngakho lanxa esezulwini kasehluleki ukusondela kuye. Kulokuthi kubenjalo, “uJehova useduze kulabo abacela kuye.” (IHubo 145:18) Ngesikhathi umphrofethi uDanyeli ecela ukuthi uJehova amncede, ingilosi yafika engakaqedi ngitsho lokuthandaza! (UDanyeli 9:20-23) Kakulalutho olungavimbela uJehova ukuthi ancede futhi aqinise labo abathandwa nguye.—IHubo 118:6.\nAmandla kaNkulunkulu Enza Ukuthi Simesabe Yini?\n17. Amandla kaJehova asenza sesabe ngomqondo wuphi, kodwa asenza singabi lakuphi ukwesaba?\n17 Kumele amandla kaNkulunkulu asenze simesabe yini? Kumele siphendule ngakho kokubili, uyebo lohatshi. Siphendula sisithi yebo ngenxa yokuthi amandla akhe asenza sibe lokumesaba kokumhlonipha, inhlonipho esike saxoxa ngayo ngamafitshane esahlukweni esidlulileyo. IBhayibhili lisitshela ukuthi ukwesaba lokhu “kuyikuqala kokuhlakanipha.” (IHubo 111:10) Kodwa siphendula langokuthi hatshi ngenxa yokuthi kakulasizatho sokuthi amandla kaNkulunkulu enze siphongumesaba kumbe sokuthi singasondeli kuye.\n18. (a) Kungani abantu abanengi bengabathembi abantu abalamandla? (b) Sikwazi njani ukuthi uJehova ngeke wakhohliswa ngamandla akhe?\n18 Ngo-1887, umlobi wezembali ongumNgisi uLord Acton wabhala wathi: “Amandla ayakhohlisa njalo amandla amakhulu akhohlisa kakhulu.” Amazwi akhe ajayele ukuphindwa, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuthi abantu abanengi bawabona eliqiniso elingeke laphikwa. Imbali itshengise kanengi ukuthi abantu abalesono bandise ukusebenzisa kubi amandla abo. (UmTshumayeli 4:1; 8:9) Lokhu kwenza abantu abanengi bangabathembi abantu abalamandla futhi kwenza bazehlukanise labo. UJehova ulamandla apheleleyo, kodwa amandla lawo asemenze wabaphatha kubi yini abantu? Ngitsho lakancane! Njengoba sibonile, uNkulunkulu ungcwele njalo kabaphathi kubi abantu. UJehova kafanani lamadoda loba abesifazane abalesono abakhokhelayo emhlabeni lo owonakeleyo. Kakaze awasebenzise kubi amandla akhe futhi kasoze lanini enze njalo.\n19, 20. (a) Ngazozonke izikhathi, uJehova usebenzisa amandla akhe ngokuhambisana laziphi ezinye izimpawu zobuntu bakhe futhi kungani lokho kusikhuthaza? (b) Ungakufanekisa njani ukuzithiba kukaJehova, futhi kungani lokhu kukukhanga?\n19 Khumbula ukuthi uJehova ulezimpawu zobuntu ezinengi hatshi amandla kuphela. Kusamele sifunde ngothando lwakhe, inhlakanipho yakhe kanye lokwahlulela ngokulunga. Kodwa akumelanga sicabange ukuthi uJehova utshengisa izimpawu zobuntu bakhe ngendlela engantshintshekiyo angani utshengisa uphawu olulodwa ngasikhathi sinye. Ezahlukweni ezilandelayo sizabona ukuthi zikhathi zonke uJehova usebenzisa kuhle amandla akhe ukuze ahambisane lenhlakanipho yakhe, uthando lwakhe kanye lokwahlulela okuhle. Cabanga njalo ngolunye uphawu lukaNkulunkulu olumenza angafanani lamakhosi omhlaba lo—ukuzithiba.\n20 Ake ucabange uhlangana lendoda elomzimba omkhulu futhi eqinileyo okokuthi uzizwa uyesaba. Kodwa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ubusucina unanzelela ukuthi indoda le ibaphatha kuhle abanye. Ihlala ikulungele ukusebenzisa amandla ayo ukuthi incede futhi ivikele abantu, ikakhulu ababuthakathaka labangenelisiyo ukuzivikela. Kayiwasebenzisi kubi amandla ayo. Uyayibona inyundelwa ingenzanga lutho, kodwa kayintshintshi indlela enza ngayo, iqhubeka ilomusa futhi ihlonipheka. Uyazibuza ukuthi ngabe nguwe olamandla amakhulu kangako ubungenelisa yini ukuzithiba lokuphatha abantu ngendlela enjalo! Njengoba usiba yazi ngcono leyondoda, ngeke yini wazizwa ufuna ukusondela kuyo? Silezizathu ezinhle kakhulu ezisenza sisondele kuJehova usomandla. Cabanga ngomutsho ogcweleyo okwakhelwe kuwo isihloko salesi sahluko: “UJehova uyaphuza ukuthukuthela njalo ulamandla amakhulu.” (UNahume 1:3) UJehova kaphangisi ukusebenzisa amandla akhe ukuthi alwe labantu ababi. Umnene futhi ulomusa. Ngitsho lalapho bemthukuthelisa, utshengise ukuthi “uyaphuza ukuthukuthela.”—IHubo 78:37-41.\n21. Kungani uJehova engabambi bantu ngamandla ukuthi benze intando yakhe njalo lokhu kusifundisani ngaye?\n21 Ake sibone ukuzithiba kukaJehova ngenye indlela. Nxa kade ulamandla amakhulu, ucabanga ukuthi ngezinye izikhathi ubungalingeka yini ukuthi wenze abantu benze intando yakho? UJehova ulamandla amakhulu kodwa kabambi bantu ngamandla ukuthi bamkhonze. Lanxa ukukhonza uNkulunkulu kuyiyo yodwa indlela engenza sithole ukuphila okungapheliyo, uJehova kasibambi ngamandla ukuthi simkhonze. Kulokwenza njalo, usenza sizizwe silesithunzi ngokusinika inkululeko yokuzikhethela. Uyasixwayisa ngempumela yokwenza izinqumo ezimbi kanye lomvuzo wokwenza izinqumo ezinhle. Kodwa usitshiyele umlandu wokuthi sizenzele izinqumo. (UDutheronomi 30:19, 20) UJehova kakuthandi ukuthi simkhonze ngoba sibanjwe ngamandla loba ngenxa yokuthi sesaba amandla akhe amakhulu. Udinga abazamkhonza ngokuzithandela ngoba bemthanda.—2 KwabaseKhorinte 9:7.\n22, 23. (a) Kuyini okusitshengisa ukuthi uJehova uyakuthanda ukunika abanye amandla? (b) Sizaxoxa ngani esahlukweni esilandelayo?\n22 Kasiboneni isizathu sokucina esisenza sihlale sisesaba uNkulunkulu uSomandla. Abantu abalamandla balomkhuba wokwesaba ukwabelana amandla abo labanye. Kodwa uJehova uyakuthanda ukupha izikhonzi zakhe ezithembekileyo amandla. Wenza abanye babezinkokheli. Ngokwesibonelo, ubeke iNdodana yakhe ukuthi ikhokhele. (UMathewu 28:18) Kulenye indlela uJehova apha ngayo izinceku zakhe amandla. IBhayibhili liyachasisa, “Bungobakho, O Jehova, ubukhulu lamandla lodumo lobukhosi; ngoba konke okusezulwini lokusemhlabeni kungokwakho. . .. Esandleni sakho kukhona ukuqina lamandla. Kukuwe ukuphakamisa lokupha amandla kubo bonke.”—1 ImiLando 29:11, 12.\n23 Iqiniso yikuthi uJehova uyakuthokozela ukukunika amandla. Ubapha ‘amandla amakhulukazi’ labo abafuna ukumkhonza. (2 KwabaseKhorinte 4:7) Kawuzizwa ufuna ukusondela kuNkulunkulu lo olamandla amakhulu yini, osebenzisa amandla akhe ngomusa langendlela elobuntu? Esahlukweni esilandelayo, sizagxila endleleni uJehova asebenzisa ngayo amandla akhe ekudaleni izinto.\n^ indima 6 Ibala lesiGiriki elihunyutshwe ngokuthi ‘Somandla’ nxa lithathwa linjengoba linjalo litsho “uMbusi Wazozonke Izinto; Lowo Olamandla Wonke.”\n^ indima 15 IBhayibhili lithi “uJehova wayengekho kulesosiphepho . . . , kulokhokuzamazama. . . , kulowomlilo.” Ngokungafanani labantu abakhonza onkulunkulu benganekwane, izinceku zikaJehova kazimdingi emandleni endalo. Mkhulu kakhulu okokuthi ngeke wagcinwa phakathi kwaloba yini ayidalileyo.—1 AmaKhosi 8:27.\n2 ImiLando 16: 7-13 Okwenziwa yiNkosi u-Asa kusifundisani ngengozi yokungathembeli emandleni kaJehova?\nIHubo 89:6-18 Amandla kaJehova enza labo abamkhonzayo benzeni?\nIsaya 40:10-31 Amandla kaJehova achazwa njani, makhulu kangakanani njalo angasinceda njani njengomuntu munye ngamunye?\nISambulo 11:16-18 Kuyini uJehova athembisa ukukwenza esebenzisa amandla akhe ngesikhathi esizayo, futhi kungani lokho kuwaqinisa amaKhristu eqiniso?


Hlala Unokuthula Ngitjho Nanyana Uqalene Namatjhuguluko | IsiThala\n“Ngizehlisile, ngathulisa umphefumulwami.”—RHU. 131:2.\nIINGOMA: 128, 129\n“Ukuthula kwakaZimu” kungasisiza njani nasiqalene namatjhuguluko?\nSingamlingisa njani uJosefa nasihlangabezana nezinto ebesingakazilindeli?\nNgisiphi isifundo esiqakathekileko esingasifunda kuFlebhe umvangeli?\n1, 2. (a) Amatjhuguluko esingakawalindeli angakuthinta njani ukuphila kwethu? (Qala isithombe esisekuthomeni.) (b) Ngokuya ngokomtlolo weRhubo 131 khuyini engasisiza sihlale sinokuthula?\nULLOYD no-Alexandra bathi nabathola ukuthi bathunyelwe esimini badana khulu. Ungabazwisisa ngombana besele basebenze iminyaka engaphezu kwema-25 eBethel. ULloyd uthi: “Bengiyithanda khulu iBethel nomsebenzi ebengiwenza nawo bengiwuthanda tle. Iye khona bengiwezwa amabanga wamatjhuguluko la kodwana kwathi ngemva kwesikhathi esithileko ngazizwa ngilahliwe. Kuhlekuhle bengizizwa ngihlangahlangene. Njenjenje kwanga koke kukhamba kuhle kungasikade sengizizwa ngidanile begodu ngigandelelekile.”\n2 Nasihlangabezana namatjhuguluko ebesingakawalindeli singagandeleleka khulu. (IzA. 12:25) Kungaba budisi khulu ukwamukela amatjhuguluko lawo. Khuyini-ke engasisiza ‘sehlise umphefumulwethu besiwuthulise’? (Funda iRhubo 131:1-3.) Akhesibone ukuthi abantu bakaJehova bakghone njani ukuhlala banokuthula naphezu kwamatjhuguluko ebebaqalana nawo. Sizokukhuluma ngebakade sibuye sikhulume nangebanamhlanjesi.\n“UKUTHULA KWAKAZIMU” KUSISIZA NJANI?\n3. Khuyini uJosefa aqalana nayo?\n3 Abafowabo lakaJosefa bamthengisa bona abe sigqila, ngesikhatheso bekaneminyaka eli-17. Koke lokho bakwenza ngebanga lokumfela umona. Phela uJakopo bekayithanda khulu indodanakhe le uJosefa. (Gen. 37:2-4, 23-28) Yeke iminyaka engaba li-13 yoke uJosefa bekasigqila begodu asibotjhwa eGibhide kunjalo nje akude noyise. Alo yini eyamsiza wangalahla ithemba namkha ahlale anelaka?\n4. (a) Ngesikhathi uJosefa avalelwe ejele kungenzeka bekacabanga ngani khulu? (b) UJehova wayiphendula njani imithandazo kaJosefa?\n4 Ngesikhathi uJosefa avalelwe ejele kungenzeka bekacabanga khulu ngendlela uJehova amsiza ngayo. (Gen. 39:21; Rhu. 105:17-19) Kungenzeka ibhudango aba nalo asesemncani lamenza waba nethemba lokuthi uJehova usesenaye. (Gen. 37:5-11) Mhlamunye wathandaza kanengi kuJehova amtjela bona uzizwa njani. (Rhu. 145:18) UJehova wawuphendula umthandazo kaJosefa, wamqinisekisa ukuthi uzokuba “naye” kikho koke ebekazokuqalana nakho.—IzE. 7:9, 10. *\n5. “Ukuthula kwakaZimu” kungasisiza njani?\n5 Kungakhathaliseki bona siqalana nobudisi obungangani, “ukuthula kwakaZimu” kungasisiza sehlise ummoya begodu sibe nokuthula. (Funda kwebeFilipi 4:6, 7.) Yeke nasiqalana nemiraro asibaweni uJehova asisize, yena-ke uzosipha ukuthula. Ukuthulokho kuzosisiza bona sizimisele ukufinyelela imigomo yokumsebenzela begodu singapheli amandla. Akhesikhulumeni ngabantu banamhlanjesi abaziimbonelo zalokho.\nBAWA UJEHOVA AKUSIZE UBE NOKUTHULA\n6, 7. Imithandazo ingasisiza njani sibe nokuthula? Akhuze nesibonelo.\n6 URyan noJuliette bebamaphayona akhethekileko wesikhatjhana, yeke nabatjelwa bona ngeze basaba ngiwo bazizwa banganabuyo. URyan uthi: “Indaba le savele sayitjela uJehova. Sabona ukuthi leli lona lithuba lokutjengisa uJehova ukuthi simthemba kangangani. Inengi labantu ebesinalo ebandleni belisanda ukuba boFakazi yeke sabawa uJehova bona asisize sibe sibonelo esihle kilo.”\n7 UJehova wawuphendula njani umthandazwabo? URyan uthi: “Sathi nasiqeda ukuthandaza ukungazizwa kamnandi nokutswenyeka kwakhamba. Ukuthula kwakaZimu kwasisiza sehlisa ummoya begodu saba nokuthula. Sabona ukuthi uJehova usazosisebenzisa begodu sizokuhlala siqakathekile kuye kwaphela nasiqala izinto kuhle.”\n8-10. (a) Ummoya kaZimu ungasisiza njani nasigandelelekileko? (b) UJehova uzoyibusisa njani imizamwethu yokuhlala simlotjha?\n8 Bona sibe nokuthula ummoya kaJehova uzosikhumbuza imitlolo ezosisiza sizwisise bona yini eqakathekileko ekuphileni. (Funda uJwanisi 14:26, 27.) Akhucabange ngoPhilip noMary abatjhadikazi abasebenze eBethel pheze iminyaka engaba ma-25. Kungakapheli iinyanga ezine bobabili bahlongakalelwa bonina nesinye isihlobo sabo. Kwathi kusesenjalo kwakosa bayokutlhogomela ubaba kaMary obekanokugula kokulibala.\n9 UPhilip uthi: “Bengizitjela bona koke kukhamba kuhle kodwana kukhona ebekutjhoda. Ngahlangana nomtlolo webeKolose 1:11 esiThaleni esifundwa ebandleni. Iye khona bengikghodlhelela, kodwana ingasi ngendlela ebekufuze ngikghodlhelele ngayo. Bekufuze ‘ngikghodlhelele ngokuzeleko nangethabo.’ Umtlolo lo wangikhumbuza bona ukuthaba kwami akukadzimeleli ebujamweni bami kodwana kilokho ummoya kaZimu ongenzela khona.”\n10 UJehova wababusisa khulu ngebanga lezinto abazenzileko bona bahlale bamlotjha nalokha baqalene neentjhijilo. Msinyana ngemva kobana baphumile eBethel bafumana iimfundo ebezithuthuka khulu begodu zifuna ukufunda iinkhathi ezinengi ngeveke. UMary uthi: “Bebasithabisa begodu le bekuyindlela kaJehova yokusiqinisekisa bona koke kuzokukhamba kuhle.”\nYENZA IZINTO EZIZOKWENZA UJEHOVA AKUBUSISE\nSingamlingisa njani uJosefa kungakhathaliseki bona siqalene nani? (Qala iingaba 11-13)\n11, 12. (a) Khuyini uJosefa ayenzako eyenza uJehova wambusisa? (b) UJehova wambusisa njani uJosefa?\n11 Nasifikelwa matjhuguluko esingakawalindeli, singatshwenyeka khulu ngengomuso besigqine sicabanga ngemiraro esingaqalana nayo kwaphela. Ngilokho uJosefa ebekangakwenza. Kodwana kunalokho wakhetha ukwenza izinto ezihle ngobujamo aqalene nabo, lokho kwanikela uJehova amabanga wokumbusisa. Ngitjho nanyana bekasejele wasebenza budisi bona enze yoke imisebenzi umphathijele ebekamnikele yona, njengombana bekenza nakasebenzela uPothifara.—Gen. 39:21-23.\n12 Ngelinye ilanga uJosefa waphathiswa umsebenzi wokutlhogomela amadoda amabili ebewaziinduna ezikulu zakaFaro. Ngebanga lomusa kaJosefa amadoda la amthemba kangangobana amtjela ngemirarwawo kunye namabhudango ababenawo ngayizolo. (Gen. 40:5-8) UJosefa bekangazi bona ikulumiswano le ngiyo ezomenza atjhatjhululwe. Ngemva kweminyaka emibili watjhatjhululwa ejele begodu ngalo ilangelo wabekwa bona angamele yoke inarha yeGibhide, okutjho bona bekadlulwa nguFaro kwaphela ngesikhundla.—Gen. 41:1, 14-16, 39-41.\n13. Singenzani bona uJehova asibusise kungakhathaliseki bona siqalene nani?\n13 Nathi singazifumana sisebujamweni obunjengebakaJosefa kunganalitho esingalenza. Kodwana nasikghodlhelela begodu sisebenza budisi bona siqalane nobujamo esikibo, sizabe senza izinto ezizokwenza uJehova asibusise. (Rhu. 37:5) Liqiniso bona ngasikhathi singazizwa “sirarekile,” kodwana njengombana umpostoli uPowula atjho angeze ‘salahla ithemba.’ (2 Kor. 4:8; ftn.) Amezwi kaPowula angaba liqiniso nakithi nange sihlala senza umsebenzi kaZimu.\nUKUSEBENZISA ISIKHATHI ESINENGI SITJHUMAYELA KUNGASISIZA\n14-16. UFlebhe wahlala njani asebenzela uZimu ngitjho naphezu kobujamo bakhe obatjhugulukako?\n14 UFlebhe usibonelo esihle sokuthi umuntu angahlala njani asebenzela uZimu ngitjho nanyana ubujamo bakhe bukhamba butjhuguluka. EJerusalema izinto zatjhuguluka, batjhutjhiswa kabuhlungu bekwafikela ezingeni lokuthi kubulawe uStefani. * Ngesikhatheso uFlebhe bekatjhumayela eJerusalema. (IzE. 6:1-6) Kodwana ngesikhathi abalandeli bakaKrestu baphadlhalala uFlebhe akhenge akghona ukuthi ase ahlale angenzi litho. Wakhamba wayokutjhumayela eSamariya idorobho ebekungakhenge kutjhunyayelwe kilo.—Mat. 10:5; IzE. 8:1, 5.\n15 UFlebhe bekazimisele ukuya nanyana kukuphi lapho ummoya kaZimu umrholela khona ngikho uJehova amsebenzisa watjhumayela amasimu amatjha. Ukungabandlululi kwakhe bekubathabisa abantu beSamariya ngebanga lokuthi bese bajayele ukubandlululwa maJuda. Kungebangelo “iinqubuthu zoke bezikutjheja lokho uFlebhe akutjhoko.”—IzE. 8:6-8.\n16 Ummoya kaZimu wamrholela e-Atjhidodi neKhesariya okumadorobho amabili ebewanabantu abanengi abangasimaJuda. (IzE. 8:39, 40) Ngemva kobana kudlule iminyaka ema-20 atjhumayela eSamariya, ubujamo bakhe batjhuguluka. Ngesikhatheso bese ayindoda yomuzi sekatjhumayela lapho ahlala khona kwaphela. Ngitjho nanyana ubujamo bakhe batjhuguluka nje khenge alise ukuya esimini, umphumela walokho waba kukuthi uJehova ambusise.—IzE. 21:8, 9.\n17, 18. Ukuhlala sisebenzela uZimu kuzosisiza njani nakufika amatjhuguluko singakawalindeli?\n17 Abantu abasebenzisa isikhathi sabo esinengi basebenzela uZimu bangavuma ukuthi ukuhlala bamsebenzela kwabasiza bakghona ukuqalana nobujamo obutjhugulukako. Ngesikhathi u-Osborne noPolite abatjhadikazi beSewula Afrika bakhamba eBethel bacabanga bona bazokufumana umsebenzi wesikhatjhana msinyana bebafumane nendawo yokuhlala. U-Osborne uthi: “Izinto akhenge zikhambe ngendlela ebesicabange ngayo.” Umka-Osborne uPolite uthi: “Kwaphela iinyanga ezintathu zoke singasebenzi begodu besinganayo imali esiyibekileko.”\n18 Alo khuyini eyabasiza baqalana nobujamobu? U-Osborne uthi: “Ukutjhumayela nebandla kwasisiza khulu ekutheni sicabange ngezinto ezakhako. Saqunta ukuthi kunokusolo sicabanga ngemirarwethu asiye esimini siyokutjhumayela. Lokho kwasithabisa tle. Saqala phasi phezulu sifunana nomsebenzi kodwana okuthabisako kukuthi sawufumana.”\n19-21. (a) Khuyini ezosisiza sibe nokuthula? (b) Singasizeka njani nasivumelanisa ubujamo bethu namatjhuguluko?\n19 Njengombana sifunde ngeembonelwezi sibonile ukuthi nasenza okusemandlenethu ebujamweni esikibo bese silinda uJehova sizokuba nokuthula. (Funda uMikha 7:7.) Singalemuka nokuthi ngebanga lokuvumelanisa ubujamo bethu nezinto sele sitjhidelene khudlwana noZimu. UPolite esikhulume ngaye uthi: “Ukuthunyelwa esimini kungifundise ukuthi kutjho ukuthini ukuthembela kuJehova, kungifundise ukuthembela kuye ngitjho nanyana izinto zingakhambi ngendlelami. Nje ngitjhidelene khudlwana naye.”\n20 UMary ekhesakhuluma ngaye phambilini usatlhogomela ubabakhe olupheleko ngapha uyaphayona. Uthi: “Ngifunde ukuthi nangizizwa ngitshwenyekile emmoyeni kufuze ngijame ngithandaze bese ngehlise ummoya. Ngifunde nokulisela izinto kuJehova begodu lokho sizokutlhoga khulu esikhathini esizako.”\n21 ULloyd no-Alexandra nabo ekhesakhuluma ngabo bayavuma ukuthi ukutjhuguluka kobujamo kwalinga ukukholwa kwabo ngendlela ebebangakhenge khebayicabange. Bathi: “Ukulingwa kuveza bona ukukholwa kwethu kunzinze kangangani begodu ukukholwokho ngikho okusisiza siqalane nobujamo obubudisi, kuthuthukise nobuntu bethu.”\nAmatjhuguluko esingakawalindeli azosilethela iimbusiso esingakazilindeli!

Nasenza koke okusemandlenethu ebujamweni esikibo khuyini esingaqiniseka ngayo?\n22 Nakungenzeka sifumane amatjhuguluko singakawalindeli kungaba semsebenzini esiwenzela uZimu, ngokwezepilo namkha kube nobujamo okufuze sibutlhogomele emndeninethu kufuze siqiniseke ukuthi uJehova uzosisiza ngesikhathi esifaneleko.

2 iziKronike 24 - IsiZulu 1959/1997 (NO) (ZUL59NO) - BibleSA\n2 iziKronike 242 iziKroni ... 24\nUJowashi uyinkosi kwaJuda. Ukulungiswa kwethempeli\n2 AmaKh. 12:1\nUJowashi wayeneminyaka eyisikhombisa ekuqaleni kwakhe ukubusa; wabusa iminyaka engamashumi amane eJerusalema; igama likanina lalinguSibiya waseBeri Sheba. 2UJowashi wenza okulungile emehlweni kaJehova zonke izinsuku zikaJehoyada umpristi. 3UJehoyada wamthathela abafazi ababili; wazala amadodana namadodakazi.\n4Kwathi emva kwalokho kwakusenhliziyweni kaJowashi ukuvusa indlu kaJehova. 5Wabutha abapristi namaLevi, wathi kubo: “Phumani niye emizini yakwaJuda, niqoqe ku-Israyeli wonke imali yokulungisa indlu kaNkulunkulu wenu iminyaka ngeminyaka, niyisheshise le ndaba.” Kepha amaLevi awasheshanga.\nInkosi yayisibiza uJehoyada inhloko, yathi kuye: “Awubizanga ngani kumaLevi ukuba alethe kwaJuda naseJerusalema intela kaMose inceku kaJehova neyebandla lika-Israyeli, ibe ngeyetende lobufakazi na?”\n7Ngokuba amadodana ka-Athaliya, owesifazane lowo omubi, ayeyichithile indlu kaNkulunkulu, nezinto zonke ezingcwele zendlu kaJehova azenza ukuba zibe ngezikaBali.\n2 AmaKh. 12:9\nYayisikhuluma inkosi, benza umphongolo, bawubeka ngaphandle ngasesangweni lendlu kaJehova. 9\nKwase kumenyezelwa kwaJuda naseJerusalema ukuba balethe kuJehova intela uMose inceku kaNkulunkulu ayibeke phezu kuka-Israyeli ehlane. 10Zonke izikhulu nabo bonke abantu bathokoza, bayiletha, bayiphonsa emphongolweni, baze baqeda. 11Kwathi ngesikhathi umphongolo owayiswa ngaso ezinduneni zenkosi ngesandla samaLevi, nalapho zibona ukuthi imali iningi, umbhali wenkosi nenduna yompristi omkhulu beza, bawuthulula umphongolo, bawuthatha, bawubuyisela endaweni yawo. Benze njalo imihla ngemihla, baqoqa imali eningi. 12Inkosi noJehoyada bayinika abenza umsebenzi wenkonzo endlini kaNkulunkulu, baqasha abakhi nababazi ukuvusa indlu kaJehova, nabasebenza ngensimbi nethusi ukuba baqinise indlu kaJehova.\n13Zase zisebenza-ke izisebenzi, zalungisa zaqeda ngezandla zazo, zayimisa indlu kaNkulunkulu ngezilinganiso zayo, zayiqinisa. 14Sebeqedile baletha imali eseleyo phambi kwenkosi noJehoyada, benza ngayo izitsha zendlu kaJehova, izitsha zokukhonzela nezokunikelela, nezinkezo, nezinye izitsha zegolide nezesiliva. Banikela ngeminikelo yokushiswa endlini kaJehova njalo zonke izinsuku zikaJehoyada.\n15Kodwa uJehoyada waguga, wafa esanelisiwe yizinsuku; wayeneminyaka eyikhulu namashumi amathathu ekufeni kwakhe. 16Bammbela emzini kaDavide phakathi kwamakhosi, ngokuba wayenze okuhle kwa-Israyeli, nakuNkulunkulu, nasendlini yakhe.\n17Emva kokufa kukaJehoyada kwafika izikhulu zakwaJuda, zakhuleka enkosini; khona inkosi yazilalela. 18Bayishiya indlu kaJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise, bakhonza o-Ashera* nezithombe; uJuda neJerusalema kwehlelwa yintukuthelo ngaleli cala labo. 19Kepha wathuma abaprofethi kubo ukuba bababuyisele kuJehova; babaxwayisa, kepha kababekanga ndlebe.\nUMoya kaNkulunkulu wembesa uZakariya indodana kaJehoyada umpristi; wema ngaphezu kwabantu, wathi kubo: “Usho kanje uNkulunkulu, uthi: ‘Neqelani imiyalo kaJehova ukuba ningabi nampumelelo na? Ngokuba nimshiyile uJehova, naye unishiyile nina.’ ”\nBamenzela ugobe, bamkhanda ngamatshe ngesiyalezo senkosi egcekeni lendlu kaJehova. 22UJowashi, inkosi, akakhumbulanga umusa uJehoyada amenzele wona, wabulala indodana yakhe. Ekufeni kwakhe wathi: “UJehova makakubone lokhu, akuphindisele.”\n2 AmaKh. 12:17\nKwathi ngasekupheleni komnyaka impi yase-Aramu yakhuphukela kuye, yafika kwaJuda naseJerusalema, yabhubhisa zonke izikhulu zabantu phakathi kwabantu, yathuma yonke impango yazo enkosini yaseDamaseku. 24Ngokuba impi yase-Aramu yafika neviyo elincane labantu, nokho uJehova wanikela impi enkulu kakhulu esandleni sabo, ngokuba babemshiyile uJehova uNkulunkulu wawoyise. Base bemahlulela uJowashi. 25\nLapho sebemukile kuye ngokuba bamshiya egula kakhulu izinceku zakhe zamenzela ugobe ngenxa yegazi lamadodana kaJehoyada umpristi, zambulala embhedeni wakhe, wafa; bammbela emzini kaDavide, kodwa abammbelanga emathuneni amakhosi.\n26Nampa ababemenzela ugobe: nguZabadi indodana kaShimeyati umAmonikazi noJehozabadi indodana kaShimriti umMowabikazi. 27\n2 IziKr. 13:22\nNgamadodana akhe, nangobukhulu bemithwalo phezu kwakhe, nangokuvuswa kwendlu kaNkulunkulu, bheka, kulotshiwe esichasiselweni sencwadi yamakhosi. U-Amasiya indodana yakhe waba yinkosi esikhundleni sakhe.

UJosiya Bekawuthanda UmThetho KaZimu | Iimfundo ZeBhayibheli Zabantwana\nUJosiya waba yikosi yakwaJuda nakaneminyaka ebunane. Ngesikhatheso, abantu bebenza imilingo bebalotjha neenthombe. Kuthe lokha nakaneminyaka eli-16, walinga ukufunda indlela yokulotjha uJehova elungileko. Nakahlanganisa iminyaka ema-20, wathoma ukutshidla zoke iinthombe nama-aldari ebekasenarheni. Kwathi nasele aneminyaka ema-26, wahlela bona kulungiswe ithempeli lakaJehova.\nUmphristi omkhulu uRhilikhiya wafumana umsongo womthetho kaJehova ngethempelini—kungenzeka watlolwa nguMosi ngesandla sakhe. UTjhafani ongunobhala wekosi waletha umsongo loyo kuJosiya, begodu wamfundela wona ngokuzwakalako. Njengombana uJosiya alalele, walemuka bona besele kuminyaka eminengi abantu bangalaleli uJehova. Ikosi uJosiya yathi kuRhilikhiya: ‘UJehova ukwate uyadlhabhaza ngebanga lethu. Khamba uyokukhuluma naye. UJehova uzasitjela bona senzeni.’ UJehova waphendula asebenzisa umphorofidikazi uRhulda wathi: ‘Abantu bakwaJuda bangitjhiyile. Bazokujeziswa, kodwana ingasi kusabusa uJosiya, ngombana bekasolo athobekile.’\nKuthe ikosi uJosiya nayizwa umlayezo loyo, yatjhinga ethempelini beyabiza abantu bakwaJuda bona bahlangane. Ngemva kwalokho wafunda umThetho kaJehova ngokuzwakalako kiso soke isitjhaba. UJosiya nabantu bathembisa ukuthi bazokulalela uJehova ngeenhliziyo zabo zoke.\nIsitjhaba sakwaJuda besele sineminyaka eminengi singagidingi iPhasika. Kodwana lokha uJosiya nakafunda emThethweni bona kufuze kugidingwe iphasika unyaka nonyaka, wathi esitjhabeni: ‘Sizokugidingela uJehova iPhasika.’ Wasuka lapho uJosiya walungiselela imihlatjelo eminengi bewahlela nekhwaya ezokuvuma ethempelini. Ngendlela leyo isitjhaba sagidinga iPhasika, besenza nomnyanya wesikwa esinganangumelo amalanga alikhomba. Bekungazange khekube nomnyanya wePhasika onjengawo kusukela ngeenkhathi zakaSamyela. UJosiya bekawuthanda kwamambala umThetho kaZimu. Uyakuthabela na ukufunda ngoJehova?\n“Ilizwi lakho lisibani eenyaweni zami begodu likukhanya emzilenami.”—IRhubo 119:105\nImibuzo: Wenzani uJosiya ngemva kokuzwa umThetho kaZimu? UJehova wazizwa njani ngoJosiya?\n2 AmaKhosi 21:26; 22:1–23:30; 2 IinKronike 34:1–35:25\nIBhayibheli isitjela bona bekubudisi khulu ngoJosiya ukwenza okulungileko. Funda bona abangani bakhe bamsiza njani.

Yini uJesu ayitjhoko ngokufunga, begodu kubayini?\nNGOKUJAYELEKILEKO, amaKrestu weqiniso akutlhogeki bona afunge. Lokhu kungombana alalela uJesu owathi: ‘Ilizwi lenu elithi Iye alibe ngu-Iye.’ Bekatjho ukuthi umuntu kufuze akwenze akutjhwileko. UJesu wathoma umlayo loyo ngokuthi: “Ungafungi.” Wakutjho lokhu akhuza umkhuba ojayelekileko abantu abanengi abanawo nebacocako bafunge ngokubuyelelweko ngalokhu namtjhana ngalokha, banganamnqopho wokukwenza lokho abakutjhoko. Ngokutjho “okudlula” ukuthi Iye nofana Awa bona batjho iimnqopho yabo, abantu abanjalo bangaveza bona eqinisweni abakathembeki begodu bangaphasi komthelelela ‘omumbi.’—Funda uMatewu 5:33-37.\n2. Hlathulula bona kubayini kungasikumbi ngaso soke isikhathi ukwenza isifungo.\n2 Kghani amezwi kaJesu atjho bona koke ukufunga akukalungi? Kungenzeka njani lokho? Njengombana sifundile esihlokweni esigadungileko, uJehova uZimu nenceku yakhe elungileko u-Abrahama benza iimfungo ezenzakalweni eziqakathekileko. Godu umThetho kaZimu bewufuna bonyana kufungwe bona kurarululwe ukungezwani okuthileko. (Eks. 22:10, 11; Num. 5:21, 22) Ngalokho, kungatlhogeka ngomKrestu ukufunga ukukhuluma iqiniso nekanikela ubufakazi ekhotho yomthetho. Namtjhana, esikhathini esingakajayeleki, umKrestu angabona kutlhogeka ukufunga bona aqinisekise abanye ngeemnqophwakhe nofana bonyana asize ekurarululeni indaba ethileko. Eqinisweni, uJesu nekafungiswa mpristi ophakemeko, akhenge aphikisane nakho kodwana wakhuluma iqiniso phambi kweSanhedrin yamaJuda. (Mat. 26:63, 64) Nokho, uJesu bekungatlhogeki bona afunge kunanyana ngubani. Ngitjho nanyana kunjalo, bona agandelele ukuba liqiniso komlayezwakhe, bekajayele ukwethula lokho akutjhoko ngendlela ekhethekileko: “Kwamambala [okutjho, “NgiQinisile, ngiqinisile”] ngithi kini.” (Jwa. 1:51; 13:16, 20, 21, 38) Akhe sibone bonyana khuyini okhunye esingakufunda esibonelweni sakaJesu, uPowula, nabanye abenza u-Iye wabo waba ngu-Iye.\nKusukela ekubhabhadisweni kuya ekufeni, uJesu wathembeka kilokho akuthembisa uYise\n3. Emthandazweni uJesu wamthembisani uZimu, begodu uYise wezulwini wasabela njani?\n3 “Nakhu . . . Zimu, ngize bona ngizokwenza intando yakho.” (Heb. 10:7) Ngamezwi aqakathekileko la, uJesu wazinikela kuZimu bona uzokwenza koke okwabikezelwako ngeNzalo ethenjisiweko, kuhlanganise ‘nokukghubula kwayo nguSathana isithende.’ (Gen. 3:15) Akekho namunye umuntu owakhe wazibawela ukwenza umsebenzi obudisi kangaka. Asezulwini, uJehova wazwakalisa ukuyithemba ngokupheleleko iNdodanakhe, nanyana bekungatlhogeki ngoJesu ukufunga bonyana uzokwenza akutjhwileko.—Luka 3:21, 22.\n4. UJesu wenza u-Iye wakhe waba ngu-Iye bekwafikela kuliphi izinga?\n4 UJesu bekakwenza ngaso soke isikhathi lokho egade akutjhumayela ngokwenza u-Iye wakhe abe ngu-Iye. Akhenge avumele litho limphambukise emlayweni awunikelwa nguYise wokutjhumayela iindaba ezimnandi zomBuso kaZimu nokwenza abafundi uZimu abadosela kuJesu. (Jwa. 6:44) IBhayibhili ihlathulula izinga lokuthembeka kwakaJesu emezwini adumileko la: “Kungakhathaliseki bona zinengi kangangani iinthembiso zakaZimu, zibe ngu-Iye ngaye.” (2 Kor. 1:20, NW) Kwamambala, uJesu usibonelo esihle somuntu owathembeka kilokho akuthembise uYise. Ngokulandelako, cabangela omunye owenza koke okusemandlenakhe bona alingise uJesu.\nUPOWULA—INDODA EKWENZAKO EKUTJHWILEKO\n5. Umpostoli uPowula wasibekela siphi isibonelo?\n5 “Alo-ke ngingenzani, Kosi, na?” (IzE. 22:10) Ngamezwi athembekileko la, uPowula ogade aziwa ngoSawula, wasabela esinqophisweni seKosi ephazimulako uJesu, owabonakala kuye embonweni amkhandela bona angatjhutjhisi abafundi bakaKrestu. Ngebanga lesenzakalweso, uSawula ngokuzithoba waphenduka ekambwenakhe yangaphambili, wabhabhadiswa begodu wamukela isabelo esikhethekileko anikelwa sona sokufakaza ngoJesu eentjhabeni. Kusukela ngesikhatheso kuragele phambili, uPowula waragela phambili abiza uJesu ngokuthi ‘yiKosakhe,’ wenza ngokuvumelana namezwi lawo bekwaba sekupheleni kokuphila kwakhe kwephasini. (IzE. 22:6-16; 2 Kor. 4:5; 2 Thi. 4:8) UPowula bekangafani nabanye uJesu athi ngabo: “Ningibizelani nithi: ‘Kosi, Kosi,’ kanti anikwenzi lokho enginitjela khona na?” (Luka 6:46) Kwamambala, uJesu ulindele bona boke abamamukelako njengeKosi yabo bathembeke elizwini labo, njengombana kwenza umpostoli uPowula.\n6, 7. (a) Kubayini uPowula atjhentjha amaplanakhe wokubuyela ayokuvakatjha eKorinte, begodu kubayini abanyefuli bakhe bebanganalo ibanga lokuzaza ukuthembeka kwakhe? (b) Kufuze sibaqale njani labo ababekwe bona badose phambili hlangana nathi?\n6 UPowula ngetjiseko warhatjha umlayezo womBuso e-Asia Minor yoke neYurobhu, asungula amabandla begodu abuyela awavakatjhele. Ngesikhatheso, wabona kutlhogeka afunge iqiniso ngalokho akutlolileko. (Gal. 1:20) Lokha abanye eKorinte basola uPowula ngokobana akakathembeki, watlola azivikela wathi: “UZimu kungathenjelwa kuye bona ikulumo yethu eqaliswe kini ayisingu-Iye kodwana ibe ingu-Awa.” (2 Kor. 1:18, NW) Ngesikhathi atlola lokho, uPowula bekasuka e-Efesu adlula eMasedoniya aya eKorinte. Ekuthomeni, bekahlele ukubuyela avakatjhele eKorinte ngaphambi kobana aye eMasedoniya. (2 Kor. 1:15, 16) Kodwana, njengombana kwenza ababonisi ababhodako namhlanjesi, ngezinye iinkhathi amakhambo vane kutlhogeke atjhentjhwe. Itjhentjho elinjalo alenziwa ngamabanga angatjho litho nofana ngokuba marhamaru kodwana ngebanga lobujamo obuthileko oburhabileko. Endabeni kaPowula, ibanga lokutshwilisa ikhambo lakhe lokuya eKorinte belizokuba ngelizuzisa ibandleli. Njani?\n7 Ngemva kobana ahlele ikhambo lakhe, uPowula wafumana iindaba ezithikazisako zokungazwani nokuziphatha kumbi egade kweqiselwa amehlo eKorinte. (1 Kor. 1:11; 5:1) Bona alungise ubujamo, watlola isiluleko esiqinileko encwadinakhe yokuthoma ayitlolela beKorinte. Ngemva kwalokho, kunokobana akhambe ngomkhumbi asuka e-Efesu aye eKorinte, uPowula wakhetha ukunikela abanakwabo ithuba lokusebenzisa isiluleko sakhe ukwenzela bona nekafikako, ivakatjho lakhe libe ngelikhuthazako. Abaqinisekisa ngeqiniso lokutjhentjha kwamaplanakhe, uPowula watlola encwadinakhe yesibili: “Ngibiza uZimu bona abe ngufakazi wami, nguye owazi ihliziyo yami, benginiphephisa njengombana ngingakayi eKorinte.” (2 Kor. 1:23) Kwanga ngeze safana nabanyefuli bakaPowula; kunalokho, asibatjengise ihlonipho edephileko labo ababekiweko bona badose phambili phakathi kwethu. Iqiniso kukobana senza kuhle ngokulingisa uPowula, njengombana alingisa uKrestu.—1 Kor. 11:1; Heb. 13:7.\nEZINYE IIMBONELO EZIHLE\n8. URibeka wasibekela siphi isibonelo?\n8 “Ngizimisele ukukhamba.” (Gen. 24:58) Ngamezwi alula la, uRibeka waphendula unina nomnakwabo malungana nokuvuma kwakhe ukutjhiya ikhabo ngelangelo akhambe nomuntu angamaziko amakhilomitha angaphezu kwama-800 bona abe mka-Isaka indodana ka-Abrahama. (Gen. 24:50-58) U-Iye kaRibeka waba ngu-Iye, begodu wazibonakalisa amfazi othembekileko osaba uZimu ku-Isaka. Ukuphila kwakhe koke, wahlala ematendeni njengomuntu wakosontjhaba eNarheni yesiThembiso. Wavuzwa ngokuthembeka kwakhe ngokuba ngukhokho weNzalo ethenjisiweko, uJesu Krestu.—Heb. 11:9, 13.\n9. URude wathembeka njani emezwinakhe?\n9 “Awa, sizokubuyela nawe ebantwini bekhenu.” (Rude 1:10) Abahlolokazi bakwaMowabi uRude no-Orpa bebasolo batjho lokhu kunosokanabo omhlolokazi uNawomi ogade abuyela eBhetlehema asuka kwaMowabi. Ekugcineni, ancengwa nguNawomi, u-Orpa wabuyela enarheni yekhabo. Kodwana u-Awa kaRude waba ngu-Awa. (Funda uRude 1:16, 17.) Ngokuthembeka wanamathela kuNawomi, walahla ngokupheleleko umndenakhe nekolo yamala yakwaMowabi. Wakghodlhelela njengomkhulekeli othembekileko kaJehova begodu wavuzwa njengomunye wabafazi abahlanu ekukhulunywa ngabo kuMatewu ekorweni yokubelethwa kwakaKrestu.—Mat. 1:1, 3, 5, 6, 16.\n10. Kubayini u-Isaya bekasibonelo esihle kithi?\n10 “Ngila! Thuma mina.” (Isa. 6:8) Ngaphambi kokutjho lokhu, u-Isaya wabona umbono ophazimulako kaJehova ahleli esihlalweni Sakhe sobukhosi ngaphezu kwetempeli lakwa-Israyeli. Nekasaqale umbono ophazimulako lo, u-Isaya wezwa uJehova athi: “Ngubani engizomthuma, begodu ngubani ozosiyela?” Lesi bekusimemo sokuba mkhulumeli kaJehova okhambisa umlayezo kaZimu ebantwini Bakhe abangalaleli. U-Isaya wathembeka emezwinakhe—u-Iye wakhe waba ngu-Iye. Wakhonza ngokuthembeka njengomporofidi iminyaka engaphezu kwema-46, adlulisela umlayezo wesahlulelo kuhlanganise neenthembiso ezihle zokubuyiselwa kokukhulekela kweqiniso.\n11. (a) Kubayini ukuthembeka emezwinethu kuqakatheke khulu? (b) Ngiziphi iimbonelo ezisiyeleliso zabantu abangakhange bathembeke?\n11 Kubayini uJehova enza bona iimbonelo ezingehla zitlolelwe thina eLizwini lakhe? Begodu iqakatheke kangangani indaba yokwenza u-Iye abe ngu-Iye? IBhayibhili ngokukhanyako iyelelisa bona umuntu ‘ongagcini iinthembiso’ uhlangana nalabo ‘abafanele bona bafe.’ (Rom. 1:31, 32) UFaro weGibhide, uZedekiya iKosi yakwaJuda, u-Ananiyasi noSafura baphakathi kweembonelo ezimbi ezivezwe eBhayibhilini labo u-Iye wabo angakhenge abe ngu-Iye.

Yini ezosisiza bona sithembeke emezwinethu?\n12 Njengombana siphila ‘emihleni yokuphela,’ sibhodwe babantu “[abangakathembeki],” ‘abantu abazitjhaya sengathi bayamsaba uZimu kodwana ngokwenza kwabo njalo babe bawaphika amandla afumaneka ngokukholwa.’ (2 Thi. 3:1-5) Kufuze sikubalekele ngendlela esingakghona ngayo ukuzihlanganisa nabantu abambi abanjalo. Kunalokho, kufuze sihlangane qobe nalabo abalwela ukuhlala benza u-Iye wabo abe ngu-Iye.—Heb. 10:24, 25.\nU-IYE WAKHO OQAKATHEKE KHULU\n13. Ngimuphi u-Iye oqakatheke khulu otjhiwo mlandeli kaJesu Krestu?\n13 Isithembiso esiqakatheke khulu umuntu angasenza ngesokuzinikela kwakhe kuZimu. Eenkhathini eentathu ezikhethekileko, labo abafuna ukuzidela njengabafundi bakaJesu banethuba lokuthi Iye lokha nebabuzwa ngeemnqophwabo. (Mat. 16:24) Abadala ababili nebacocisana nomuntu ofuna ukuba mrhuweleli ongakabhabhadiswa, bayambuza, “Uyakufuna kwamambala ukuba ngomunye waboFakazi bakaJehova?” Ngokukhamba kwesikhathi, nengabe umuntu sele enze ituthuko engokomoya begodu ufuna ukubhabhadiswa, abadala bazokuhlangana naye bambuze, “Sewuzinikelile kuJehova ngomthandazo?” Ekugcineni ngelanga lokubhabhadiswa, umuntu ngamunye ozokubhabhadiswa uyabuzwa, “Ngesisekelo somhlatjelo kaJesu Krestu, utjhugulukile ezonweni zakho wazinikela kuJehova bona wenze intando yakhe?” Ngalokho phambi kwabofakazi, laba abazokubhabhadiswa bathi Iye malungana nesithembiso sabo sokukhonza uZimu ngokungapheliko.\nUthembekile na ku-Iye wakho oqakatheke?\n14. Ngikuphi ukuzihlola okufuze sikwenze qobe?\n14 Kungakhathaliseki bona uqeda ukubhabhadiswa nofana sekumatjhumi weemnyaka ukhonza uZimu, kufuze uzihlole qobe begodu uzibuze imibuzo enjengale: ‘Ngisamlingisa uJesu Krestu ngokuragela phambili ngokuthembeka malungana nokwenza u-Iye wami oqakatheke kunabo boke? Ngiragela phambili ngilalela uJesu ngokwenza umsebenzi wokutjhumayela nokwenza abafundi ube yinto engidzimelele kiyo ekuphileni kwami?’—Funda ye-2 Korinte 13:5.\n15.

Ngokwesibonelo: Utjhadile? Ngalokho ragela phambili usihlonipha isifungo esiligugu osenzileko sokuthanda nokwazisa umlinganakho womtjhado. Usayine isivumelwano sebhizinisi nofana uzalise iforomo lelungelo elithileko elingokwezulwini? Ngalokho thembeka eembophweni zakho nakilokho okuthembisileko. Wakhe wafumana isimemo esivela kothileko otlhagako? Ungasali isimemweso newungafumana esinye esingabonakala singcono sivela komunye. Namtjhana wathembisa omunye umuntu owamfumana ekonzweni yomuzi nomuzi bona uzokubuya uzomnikela isizo elingokomoya elingeziweko? Ngalokho yenza koke okusemandlenakho bona u-Iye wakho abe ngu-Iye, noJehova uzoyibusisa ikonzwakho.—Funda uLuka 16:10.\nUKUZUZA KUMPRISTI OPHAKEMEKO OYIKOSETHU\n16. Nengabe sibhalelwa kugcina ilizwi lethu, khuyini okufuze siyenze?\n16 IBhayibhili ithi njengabantu abanesono, “sineemphoso ezinengi,” khulukhulu endabeni yokusebenzisa ilimu lethu. (Jak. 3:2) Khuyini okufuze siyenze nesilemuka bona sibhalelwe kugcina ilizwi lethu? EmThethweni kaZimu awunikela ama-Israyeli, bekunelungiselelo lomusa ngomuntu onomlandu ‘wokukhuluma ngokungacabangi ngeendebe zakhe.’ (Lef. 5:4-7, 11) Godu kunelungiselelo lethando ngamaKrestu enze isono esinjalo. Nesisivuma kuJehova isono esithileko, ngomusa uzosilibalela ngomPristi oPhakemeko, uJesu Krestu. (1 Jwa. 2:1, 2) Nokho, bona sihlale emseni kaZimu, kufuze sitjengise iinthelo ezitjengisa ukuphenduka ngokungazenzi umkhuba izono ezinjalo nangokwenza koke esingakwenza ukulungisa ubujamo obulimazako obubangelwa kukhuluma ngaphandle kokucabanga. (IzA. 6:2, 3) Liqiniso, kungcono khulu ukucabangisisa ngaphambi kobana senza iinthembiso engekhe sikghone ukuzizalisa.—Funda umTjhumayeli 5:2.\n17, 18. Ngiliphi ingomuso eliphazimulako elilindele boke abalwela ukwenza u-Iye wabo waba ngu-Iye?\n17 Qala bona lingomuso elihle kangangani leli boke abakhulekeli bakaJehova abazokuba nalo abalwela bona u-Iye wabo abe ngu-Iye! Ngabazesiweko abazi-144 000, kuzokutjho ukuphila okunganakufa ezulwini, lapho bazokuhlanganyela noJesu emBuswenakhe ‘begodu bazokubusa naye njengamakhosi iminyaka eyikulungwana.’ (IsAm. 20:6) Eengidini engeze wazibala, lokhu kuzokutjho ukuzuza ekubuseni komBuso kaKrestu ephasini eliyiparadeyisi. Lapho bazokusizwa bakhulele ekupheleleni ngokwenyama nangokomkhumbulo.—IsAm. 21:3-5.\n18 Ngokuthembeka evivinyweni lamaswaphela ekupheleni kweMinyaka eyiKulungwana yokubusa kwakaJesu, ngekhe sibe nebanga lokuzaza ilizwi lothileko. (IsAm. 20:7-10) Woke u-Iye uzokuba ngu-Iye, no-Awa abe ngu-Awa. Ngombana boke abazabe baphila ngesikhatheso bazabe bamlingisa ngokupheleleko uBabethu wezulwini onethando, uJehova, ‘uZimu weqiniso.’—Rha. 31:5.\n[Isithombe ekhasini 30]\nUthembekile na ku-Iye wakho oqakathekileko?\nAmezwi kaJesu—U-Iye Wenu Akabe Ngu-Iye
