    Ungathokoza Kuze Kube Nini Lanini!—Ibhuku Elizakunceda Uzwisise IBhayibhili

    • Ibandla Lihlelwe Njani?

      UJehova nguNkulunkulu ohlelekileyo. (1 KwabaseKhorinte 14:33) Yikho kumele labantu bakhe bahleleke. Kodwa lihlelwe njani ibandla lobuKhristu? Singenzani ukuze kube lokuhleleka ebandleni?

      1. Ngubani inhloko yebandla?

      ‘UKhristu yinhloko yebandla.’ (Kwabase-Efesu 5:23) Ukhokhela imisebenzi eyenziwa ngabantu bakaJehova emhlabeni wonke. UJesu ukhethe iqembu lamadoda aselesikhathi eside engabadala ukuthi abe liQula Elikhokhelayo kumbe ‘inceku ethembekileyo lehlakaniphileyo.’ (Bala uMathewu 24:45-47.) IQula Elikhokhelayo linakekela amabandla asemhlabeni wonke njengokwakusenziwa ngabaphostoli labadala ababeseJerusalema. (ImiSebenzi 15:2) Amadoda la awazenzeli akucabangayo kodwa aqondiswa nguJesu futhi ahlolisisa iBhayibhili ukuze azwisise ukuthi uJehova ufuna enzeni.

      2. Ngowani umsebenzi wabadala bebandla?

      Abadala bebandla ngamadoda aselesikhathi eside ekhonza. Umsebenzi wabo ngowokufundisa abantu bakaJehova besebenzisa iMibhalo, ukubancedisa ekukhonzeni lokubakhuthaza. Ababhadalwa ukuthi benze umsebenzi lo kodwa bawenza ‘ngenhliziyo yonke phambi kukaNkulunkulu, njalo abawenzeli ukuthola inzuzo yokungathembeki, kodwa bazimisele.’ (1 UPhetro 5:1, 2) Abadala bancediswa zinceku ezikhonzayo futhi ngokuya kwesikhathi lazo ziba ngabadala.

      IQula Elikhokhelayo liyakhetha abanye abadala ukuthi babe ngababonisi beziqinti. Abadala laba bavakatshela amabandla ukuze bakhuthaze njalo baqinise abafowethu labodadewethu. Okunye abakwenzayo yikubeka amadoda aphila ngendlela evumelana lalokho okutshiwo yiMibhalo ukuthi abe zinceku ezikhonzayo kumbe abadala emabandleni.—1 KuThimothi 3:1-10, 12; KuThithusi 1:5-9.

      3. Kuyini okumele kwenziwe nguFakazi ngamunye?

      Wonke umuntu ebandleni kumele ‘adumise ibizo likaJehova’ ngokuqinisa abafowethu labodadewethu langokukhuthala emsebenzini wokutshumayela kusiya ngalokho akwenelisayo.—Bala iHubo 148:12, 13.
