ISAHLUKO 5
Bafundise Kusukela Besesezinsana
1, 2. Abazali kumele balalele bani nxa befuna ukubakhulisa kuhle abantwababo?
ENYE indoda eyayizigqaja ngokuba ngumzali yake yathi: “Amadodana ayilifa elivela kuJehova.” (IHubo 127:3) Sekuleminyaka engaba ngu-3 000 yakutsho lokhu futhi yayingaphosisi. Phela uNkulunkulu uphe abatshadileyo isibusiso sokuba labantwana. Kodwa abazali bayakwazi ukuthi lanxa kumnandi ukukhulisa umntwana, akulula.
2 Lamuhla khona sekunzima kakhulu. Lanxa kunjalo, banengi asebephumelele. Umhubi waphefumulelwa ukuthi atsho iqhinga elingasetshenziswa ngabazali. Wathi: “Ngaphandle kokuba uJehova ayakhe indlu, abakhi bayo basebenzela ize.” (IHubo 127:1) Ngakho-ke abazali bangaphumelela nxa beyilalela yonke imilayo kaJehova. IBhayibhili liphinda lithi: “Themba kuJehova ngenhliziyo yakho yonke, ungathembi okwakho ukuzwisisa.” (IZaga 3:5) Pho wena uzayilalela yini imilayo kaJehova okweminyaka engu-20 ukhulisa umntanakho?
YENZA OKUTSHIWO LIBHAYIBHILI
3. Endabeni yokukhulisa abantwana, obaba kufanele benzeni?
3 Obaba abanengi babona angathi ukufundisa abantwana ngumsebenzi wabomama. Kuliqiniso sibili ukuthi iLizwi likaNkulunkulu lithi indoda yiyo elomlandu wokusebenzela imuli. Kodwa liphinda litshengise ukuthi kukhona okufanele ikwenze langekhaya. Lithi: “Qeda umsebenzi wakho waphandle ulungise lamasimu akho; kuthi-ke usuqedile wakhe indlu yakho.” (IZaga 24:27) Kuyakhanya-ke ukuthi uNkulunkulu ufuna ubaba lomama bancedisane ukufundisa abantwana.—IZaga 1:8, 9.
4. Kungani kungamelanga sibone angathi abantwana abangabafana bangcono kulabangamankazana?
4 Uyabathanda yini bonke abantwabakho? Kubikwa ukuthi e-Asia “kujayelekile ukuthi nxa kuzalwa umntwana oyinkazana, abantu bangathabi kangako.” LaseLatin America kuthiwa yikho okwenzakalayo, njalo kuze kwenziwe “yizimuli eziphucukileyo.” Kodwa abantwana abangamankazana labo baqakathekile njengabafana. UJakhobe indoda yekadeni wayengumzali futhi abanye abantwabakhe babengamantombazana. Wathi bonke abantwabakhe ‘ngabantwana uNkulunkulu ayemuphe bona ngesihle.’ (UGenesisi 33:1-5; 37:35) UJesu yena wababusisa “abantwana abancinyane” abalethwa kuye kungelani lokuthi kwakungabafana lamankazana. (UMathewu 19:13-15) Akuthandabuzwa ukuthi wayelingisela uJehova.—UDutheronomi 16:14.
5. Kuyini okumele abatshadileyo bakukhumbule nxa becabanga ngokuthi bazakuba labantwana abangaki?
5 Lapho ohlala khona omama bakhangelelwe ukuthi babe labantwana abanengi yini? Lanxa kungabe kunjalo, abatshadileyo kufanele bazikhethele ukuthi bazakuba labangaki. Kuqakathekile ukuthi bacabange ngokuthi bazakwenelisa yini ukubadingela ukudla, izigqoko lemali yesikolo. Phela abanye abazali kabenelisi ukondla abantwababo baze bacine sebethumela abanye ezihlotsheni ukuze bayokhuliswa yizo. Lokhu akukuhle kangako ngoba abazali yibo abalomthwalo wokunakekela abantwababo. IBhayibhili lithi: “Uma umuntu enganakekeli izihlobo zakhe, ikakhulu abendlu yakwabo, uselulahlile ukholo lwakhe njalo mubi kakhulu kulongakholwayo.” (1 KuThimothi 5:8) Yikho-ke abatshadileyo kufanele bacabangisise ngokuthi ‘abendlu’ yabo bazakuba bangaki ukuze benelise ‘ukubanakekela.’ Engxenye bangasebenzisa izindlela zokwelamisela khatshana. Leso yisinqumo sabo njalo yibo abazikhethelayo ukuthi bazasebenzisa ziphi izindlela. “Lowo lalowo kumele athwale umthwalo wakhe.” (KwabaseGalathiya 6:5) Kodwa akufanelanga basebenzise loba yiphi indlela engabulala umntwana osekhula esiswini ngoba iBhayibhili lithi akuqondanga. ‘Umthombo wokuphila’ ukuJehova uNkulunkulu. (IHubo 36:9) Ngakho-ke nxa umuntu ekhipha isisu uyabe emdelela sibili uJehova njalo uyabe ebulele umuntu.—U-Eksodusi 21:22, 23; IHubo 139:16; UJeremiya 1:5.
FUNDISA UMNTANAKHO NJALO UMONDLE
6. Abazali kumele baqalise nini ukufundisa umntanabo?
6 KuZaga 22:6 kuthiwa: “Fundisa umntwana indlela okumele ahambe ngayo.” Omunye umsebenzi omkhulu okufanele abazali bawenze yikufundisa umntanabo. Manje kumele baqalise nini? Esesemncane. Umphostoli uPhawuli wathi uThimothi wayefundiswe “kusukela ebuntwaneni.” (2 KuThimothi 3:15) Ibala lesiGiriki elisevesini le lingasetshenziswa nxa kutshiwo usana kumbe umntwana osesiswini. (ULukha 1:41, 44; ImiSebenzi 7:18-20) Yikho-ke uThimothi waqala ukufundiswa esesemncane kakhulu. Phela sivele sigoqwa sisesemanzi. Kuyacaca-ke ukuthi umntwana kufanele ahle afundiswe eseselusana ngoba laye uyabe eselaso isifiso sokwazi izinto.
7. (a) Kungani kuqakathekile ukuthi bobabili abazali babe seduzane kakhulu lomntanabo? (b) UJehova wayeyithanda yini iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa? Chasisa.
7 Elinye inina lathi: “Umntanami ngahle ngamthanda ngiqala nje ukumbona.” Omama abanengi labo batsho njalo. Uthando lolu kaluhle luphele mhla ebeletha kodwa luqhubeka luqina ngenxa yokuthi umama uyabe etshona losana lwakhe. Ukulumunyisa lakho kwenza bacine sebengamathe lolimi. (Qathanisa lo-1 Thesalonika 2:7.) Usana luyathokoza kakhulu nxa unina ehlala eluphuluphulula futhi ekhuluma lalo. (Qathanisa lo-Isaya 66:12.) Ubaba yena angenzani? Laye kufanele abeseduzane lomntanakhe. Yikho kanye uJehova ayekwenza. KuZaga sithola ukuthi yena leNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa babethandana sibili. Yaze yathi: “UJehova wangenza ngaba khona ngaqalela konke okukhona . . . ngithokoza ukuba laye kokuphela.” (IZaga 8:22, 30; UJohane 1:14) Lobaba kufanele amthande umntanakhe, bazwanane kusukela ezalwa nje. Omunye umzali wathi: “Hlala umtshengisa ukuthi uyamthanda umntanakho. Akulamntwana owake wabulawa yikugonwa lokuqabujwa.”
8. Kuyini okufanele abazali bakwenze kusukela insana zabo zizalwa nje?
8 Kulokunye okumele insana zikuthole. Kusukela zizalwa nje, izingqondo zazo ziyabe sezisenelisa ukubamba izinto ezizifundiswayo. Abazali yibo-ke okuyabe sekumele bazifundise. Ngokwesibonelo, abachwayisisayo bathi “kucatshangelwa ukuthi lokho abazali abakwenzela umntanabo kusukela ezalwa” kungamsiza ukuthi afunde ukukhuluma lokubala kuhle. Ngakho-ke khuluma lomntanakho kusukela eseselusana njalo umbalele amabhuku. Laye uzafuna ukukulingisela, ubusuqala ukumfundisa ukubala esesemncane. Kungenzakala ukuthi acine esekwazi ukubala engakalugxobi lasesikolo. Lokhu kuyasiza ikakhulu nxa uhlala endaweni elababalisi abalutshwana loba nxa umntanakho angaya esikolo esiba labantwana abanengi kakhulu emakilasini.
9. Kungani kumele abazali bafundise umntanabo ngoNkulunkulu?
9 Kufanele abazali abangamaKhristu bakuqakathekise kakhulu ukufundisa umntanabo ngoNkulunkulu. (Khangela uDutheronomi 8:3.) Bayabe bemfundisela ukuthi laye abe lobuntu obufanana lobukaKhristu, afake “ubumina obutsha.” (Kwabase-Efesu 4:24) Yikho-ke kumele bakhe ngezinto ezifaneleyo baphinde basebenzise lezindlela eziqondileyo.
FUNDISA UMNTANAKHO IQINISO NGONKULUNKULU
10. Yibuphi ubuntu obuhle okumele abantwana babe labo?
10 Ukuqina kwendlu kuya ngokuthi yakhiwe ngani. Umphostoli uPhawuli wathi izinto eziqinileyo ezingasetshenziswa ukwakha ubuntu obuhle obunjengobukaKhristu ‘ligolide, lesiliva lamatshe adulayo.’ (1 KwabaseKhorinte 3:10-12) Igolide lesiliva kanye lamatshe adulayo kumela ukholo, ukuqedisisa, ukuthembeka, ukuhlonipha, lokuthanda uJehova kanye lemithetho yakhe. (IHubo 19:7-11; IZaga 2:1-6; 3:13, 14) Pho abazali bangabanceda njani abantwababo ukuthi babe lobuntu obuhle kangaka? Bangalandela umlayo owakhulunywa endulo.
11. Abazali abangama-Israyeli babebanceda njani abantwababo ukuthi babe lobuntu obuhle?
11 Isizwe sako-Israyeli sathi sesizangena eLizweni Lesithembiso, uJehova walaya abazali wathi: “Imilayo le engikupha yona lamuhla kumele ibe sezinhliziyweni zenu. Igcizeleleni kubantwabenu. Khulumani ngayo nxa lihlezi emakhaya enu lanxa lihamba ezindleleni, nxa lilele phansi loba nxa livuka.” (UDutheronomi 6:6, 7) Lokhu kutshengisa ukuthi lokho abazali abakwenzayo kumele kuhambelane labakufundisa abantwababo, babe ngabangane babo, baxoxe labo baphinde babafundise.
12. Kungani kuqakathekile ukuthi abazali benze abakufundisa abantwababo?
12 Okukhulumayo akuhambelane lokwenzayo. UJehova waqala ngokuthi: ‘Imilayo le kumele ibe sezinhliziyweni zenu.’ Welula wathi: “Igcizeleleni kubantwabenu.” Ngakho-ke umzali nguye okufanele aqale abe lobuntu obuhle. Kumele ayithande ngenhliziyo yonke imilayo kaNkulunkulu njalo ayilandele. Lokhu yikho okungenza ukuthi akukhulumayo kuthophele enhliziyweni yomntanakhe. (IZaga 20:7) Phela abantwana bandise ukulingisela lokho abakubonayo kulalokho abakutshelwayo.—ULukha 6:40; 1 KwabaseKhorinte 11:1.
13. Abazali abangamaKhristu bangamlingisela njani uJesu?
13 Woba ngumngane wabo. UJehova watshela abazali ababesesizweni sako-Israyeli wathi: ‘Khulumani labantwabenu nxa lihlezi emakhaya enu lanxa lihamba ezindleleni.’ Lokhu kutsho ukuthi lanxa abazali besandelwa yimisebenzi, kufanele badinge isikhathi sokuba labantwababo. Kukhanya loJesu wakubona kuqakathekile ukuthi azinike isikhathi sokuxoxa labantwana. Kwathi sekusele insukwana ukuthi abuyele ezulwini, ‘abantu baletha abantwana abancinyane ukuze ababeke izandla.’ Yena wenzani? ‘Wabathatha abantwana ebaphatha, wababeka izandla wababusisa.’ (UMakho 10:13, 16) Kwasekusele amahora nje ukuthi abulawe, kodwa kazange abaninele khatshana abantwana, waxoxa labo. Abazali kufanele bamlingisele sibili.
14. Kuqakatheke ngani ukuthi abazali bazame ukuthola isikhathi sokuba labantwababo?
14 Xoxa Labo. Kuzakuba lula ukuthi uxoxe lomntanakho nxa ungazama ukuthola isikhathi sokuba laye. Ungahlala uxoxa laye uzamzwisisa ukuthi ungumuntu onjani. Kodwa ungakhohlwa ukuthi ukuxoxa kayisikho kukhuluma nje. Omunye umama waseBrazil wathi: “Kwakumele ngizame ukulalelisisa, ngilalele ngenhliziyo yami yonke.” Indodana yakhe yacina isikhululeka ukumtshela okwakusenhliziyweni yayo ngoba wayeselesineke.
15. Kuyini okumele abazali bakwazi mayelana lokuzilibazisa?
15 Abantwana kufanele bathole ‘isikhathi sokuhleka lesikhathi sokugida,’ okutsho ukuthi bake bazilibazise. (UmTshumayeli 3:1, 4; UZekhariya 8:5) Abantwana bayathokoza nxa abazali bezilibazisa labo. Kodwa okudanisayo yikuthi ungakhuluma ngokuzilibazisa, izimuli ezinengi zihle zicabange i-TV. Lanxa ezinye izinhlelo ezikuyo zimnandi, ezinengi zakhona ziqeda isimilo njalo nxa abantu bebukele i-TV kuba nzima ukuthi baxoxe. Pho wena labantwabakho lingenzani okungalisiza ukuthi lithole isikhathi sokuxoxa? Lingahlabela, lidlale imidlalo, likwejise labangane loba livakatshe.
16. Abazali kumele babafundiseni abantwababo, njalo kufanele babafundise njani?
16 Bafundise. UJehova wathi: “[Imilayo le] igcizeleleni kubantwabenu.” Okumunyethwe esahlukweni leso kuveza ukuthi kumele ubafundiseni lokuthi ungabafundisa njani. Nanku okufanele uqale ukwenze: “Thanda uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho ngenhliziyo yakho yonke langomoya wakho wonke kanye langamandla akho wonke.” (UDutheronomi 6:5) Ngemva kwalokho ‘imilayo le igcizelele’ kubantwabakho. Kumele ubafundise imilayo ezabasiza ukuthi bamthande ngenhliziyo yonke uJehova futhi bathande lemithetho yakhe. (Qathanisa loHebheru 8:10.) Ibala elithi “igcizeleleni” litshengisa ukuthi kufanele uhlale ubafundisa. Yikho-ke lapha uJehova ukutshela ukuthi ukuhlala uxoxa ngaye yiyo indlela engcono kulazo zonke ezasiza abantwabakho ukuthi babe lobuntu obuhle. Ngakho-ke funda labo iBhayibhili zikhathi zonke.
17. Kuyini okumele abazali bakwenze njalo kungani kufanele benze njalo?
17 Abazali abanengi bayakwazi ukuthi kunzima ukufundisa umntwana kuze kuthophele enhliziyweni yakhe. Umphostoli uPhetro watshela amaKhristu ayekhonza lawo wathi: ‘Njengabantwana abasanda kuzalwa, funani uchago lomoya oluhlambulukileyo.’ (1 UPhetro 2:2) Amazwi athi “funani” atshengisa ukuthi abanengi kabazalwa belaso isifiso sokufunda iBhayibhili. Ngakho-ke abazali kuyabe sekumele basebenzise amacebo athile ukuze owabo umntwana abe laso isifiso leso.
18. Abazali bangamlingisela njani uJesu nxa befundisa?
18 UJesu wayesebenzisa imizekeliso ukuze abantu bakuzwisise ayekutsho. (UMakho 13:34; ULukha 10:29-37) Ebantwaneni khona indlela le isebenza kuhle kakhulu. Nxa ubafundisa izimiso eziseBhayibhilini xoxani ngezindaba ezimnandi, mhlawumbe lezo ezisebhukwini elithi IBhuku Lami Lezindaba ZeBhayibhili.a Akungabi nguwe wedwa okhulumayo. Bavumele basebenzise izingqondo zabo, badwebe okulandiswa eBhayibhilini kumbe benze umdlalo ngendaba yakhona. UJesu wayesebenzisa lemibuzo. (UMathewu 17:24-27) Lawe yenza njalo nxa ufunda iBhayibhili lemuli yakho. Kulokuthi uphongubatshela ukuthi umthetho kaNkulunkulu uthini, babuze imibuzo ethi: UJehova wasiphelani umthetho lo? Ukuwulalela kuzasinceda ngani? Kuzakwenzakalani singayekela ukulalela? Imibuzo le kanye leminye ongayibuza izabasiza ukuthi bacabangisise futhi babone ukuthi imithetho kaNkulunkulu iyanceda njalo mihle.—UDutheronomi 10:13.
19. Nxa abazali belandela izimiso eziseBhayibhilini, abantwababo bazakwenelisa ukwenzani?
19 Nxa ungakwenza lokho okufundisa umntanakho, ube ngumngane wakhe, uxoxe laye uphinde umfundise, laye uzaqalisa esesemncane ukuba ngumngane kaJehova uNkulunkulu. Lokhu kuzakwenza ukuthi akukholise ukuba ngumKhristu. Kanti njalo uzazama ngamandla akhe wonke ukuthi ahlale emlalela uJehova lanxa elingwa loba osowabo bemyengela eceleni. Yikho-ke msize ukuthi akuqakathekise ukuba ngumngane kaJehova.—IZaga 27:11.
KUQAKATHEKE KAKHULU UKULAYA ABANTWANA
20. Ukulaya yikwenzani, njalo kufanele kwenziwe njani?
20 Ukulaya yikuqeqetsha umuntu ukuze uqondise indlela acabanga ngayo kanye lenhliziyo yakhe. Abantwana kufanele balaywe kusa kwamalanga. UPhawuli watshela obaba ukuthi ‘bondle [abantwababo] ngokufundisa langokulaya kweNkosi.’ (Kwabase-Efesu 6:4) UJehova ulaya ngothando, labazali kufanele babalaye kuhle abantwababo. (KumaHebheru 12:4-11) Lokhu bangakwenza ngokubonisana labo. Yikho sitshelwa ukuthi ‘sizwe ukulaya.’ (IZaga 8:33, The Holy Bible in Ndebele) Manje umntwana ulaywa njani?
21. Kuyini okutshiwo liBhayibhili okufanele abazali bahlale bekukhumbula nxa belaya abantwababo?
21 Abanye abazali bacabanga ukuthi nxa belaya umntanabo kufanele bamtshingele, bamhwabhele, bamchothoze kumbe bamthethise. Kodwa uPhawuli wathi ekhuluma ngokulaya waxwayisa wathi: “Boyise, lingabathukuthelisi abantwana benu.” (Kwabase-Efesu 6:4) Wonke amaKhristu atshelwa ukuthi kufanele abe ‘lomusa ebantwini bonke, abaphikisayo abeluleke kuhle.’ (2 KuThimothi 2:24, 25) Lanxa abazali abangamaKhristu bekwazi ukuthi abantwana kabayekelelwa, bayazama ukulalela amazwi la nxa belaya abantwababo. Kodwa kwezinye izikhathi ukubonisana lomntwana akusizi kangako. Kuyabe sekumele ajeziswe.—IZaga 22:15.
22. Kuyini okufanele umzali akucacisele umntwana nxa emjezisa?
22 Abantwana kumele balaywe ngezindlela ezitshiyeneyo ngoba kabafanani. Abanye ‘kabaqondiswa ngamazwi nje wodwa.’ Okungabasiza yikuthi kwezinye izikhathi bajeziswe. (IZaga 17:10; 23:13, 14; 29:19) Kodwa nxa umntwana ejeziswa, kufanele achasiselwe ukuthi ujeziselwani. “Uswazi lokuqondisa lunika ukuhlakanipha.” (IZaga 29:15; UJobe 6:24) Kanti njalo akufanelanga ajeziswe kuze kwedlulise amalawulo. UJehova wake wathi esizweni sakhe ayesibiza ngokuthi nguJakhobe: “Ngizakujezisa kodwa ngokufaneleyo kuphela.” (UJeremiya 46:28b) IBhayibhili lithi kakukuhle ukuthi nxa umzali angathukuthela atshaye umntwana angathi ubhula amabele, aze amtshiye esemanxebanxeba.—IZaga 16:32.
23. Kuyini okufanele umntwana akubone nxa abazali bakhe bemjezisa?
23 UJehova wathi esilimukisa isizwe sakhe esitshela ukuthi uzasilaya, waqala wathi: ‘Ungesabi, ngoba ngilawe.’ (UJeremiya 46:28a) Labazali kufanele bamlaye kuhle umntanabo, angacini ebona angani bayamzonda. (KwabaseKholose 3:21) Umntwana kufanele akubone ukuthi nxa umzali emlaya kuyabe kungani uthi, ‘Ngilawe.’
VIKELA UMNTANAKHO
24, 25. Kungani kumele abantwana bavikelwe kakhulu kulezinsuku?
24 Abanengi bayazikhumbula izikhathi ezimnandi besakhula. Bayabe bekhumbula ukuthi nxa babelabazali babo babengethuki lutho lokuthi babehlala bebavikela kumnyama kubomvu. Labazali lamuhla bayakufuna ukuvikela abantwababo. Kodwa khathesi sekunzima kakhulu ngoba umhlaba lo ulokhu uqhubeka usonakala.
25 Abantwana bazulelwa ngamanqe. Sekwandile ukuhlukuluzwa kwabo kwezemacansini. EMalaysia imibiko yabantwana abahlukuluzwayo iqanse okumangalisayo eminyakeni elitshumi. KwelaseGermany abantwana abangaba ngu-300 000 bayahlukuluzwa kwezemacansini umnyaka ngamunye. Kwelinye ilizwe eliseSouth America kwathi kuhlolisiswa kwathokala ukuthi abantwana abahlukuluzwayo bangaba ngu-9 000 000 umnyaka ngamunye. Inani leli liyethusa sibili. Okutshaqisa igazi yikuthi inengi labantwana laba lihlukuluzwa ngakibo. Khonapho kuyabe kungabantu ababajayeleyo njalo ababathembayo. Lokhu kutshengisa ukuthi abazali kumele babavikele ngazo zonke izindlela abantwababo. Pho bangabavikela njani?
26. Abantwana bangavikelwa njani, njalo ukuba lolwazi kungabanceda ngani?
26 Kukhanya abantwana abalolwazi olulutshwana ngezemacansini yibo abajayele ukuhlukuluzwa. Ngakho-ke ukubafundisa besesebancane yikubahlomisa ngesikhali abangazivikela ngaso. Nxa sebelolwazi bangazivikela “ezindleleni zabantu ababi, abantu abamazwi abolileyo.” (IZaga 2:10-12) Yiluphi ulwazi lolu? Kufanele bazazi izimiso eziseBhayibhilini, benelise ukwehlukanisa ukuziphatha okuhle lokubi. Kumele bakwazi ukuthi abanye abantu abadala baxhwalile kanye lokuthi akumelanga bavume nxa behugwa ukuthi benze izinto ezimbi. (Qathanisa loDanyeli 1:4, 8; 3:16-18.) Hlalani lixoxa ngakho lokhu. Phela abantwana abanengi bayakhohlwa nxa bengasafundiswanga kanenginengi. Ubaba kumele azwisise ukuthi nxa indodakazi yakhe isikhulakhulile ayingeke ifune ukuthi ayibone inqunu kumbe igeza, njalo lomama kumele ayihloniphe indodana yakhe. Lokhu kuzanceda umntwana ukuthi azwisise okuhle lokubi. Bazali, enye indlela engcono kakhulu yokuvikela abantwabenu yikuthi lihlale likwazi ukuthi bangaphi lokuthi balobani.
CELA UKUTHI UNKULUNKULU AKUPHATHISE
27, 28. Ngubani ongaphathisa abazali ukuthi bamkhulise kuhle umntanabo?
27 Akulula sibili ukufundisa umntwana kusukela eseselusana. Kodwa abazali abakhonzayo kabawuthwali bodwa umthwalo lo osindayo. Kudala ngezinsuku zaBahluleli, kwakulendoda okwakuthiwa nguManowa eyatshelwa ukuthi yayizakuba lomntwana. Yabuza uJehova ukuthi kwakufanele yenzeni ukuze imondle kuhle umntanayo. Lakanye uJehova wawuphendula umthandazo wayo.—ABahluleli 13:8, 12, 24.
28 Lani bazali khulekani kuJehova limcele ukuthi alisize ukuthi libakhulise kuhle abantwabenu. Ozeleyo ulomlandu sibili, kodwa phela ukuzala yikuzimbela. EHawaii kulomunye ubaba lomama abangamaKhristu abathi: “Kufuna uhle ukhuthalele ukubafundisa eminyakeni yokuqala engu-12, bengavele bedlule khonapho, kuyabe sekunzima. Kodwa nxa wenze konke okusemandleni akho ukuthi usebenzise izimiso eziseBhayibhilini, uzakholisa njalo uzwe uchelesa nxa sebekhethe ukukhonza uJehova ngenhliziyo yonke.” (IZaga 23:15, 16) Nxa umntanakho esekhethe ukukhonza uJehova, lawe uzazibonela ukuthi “amadodana [lamadodakazi] ayilifa elivela kuJehova.”
a Ibhuku leli lidindwa ngoFakazi BakaJehova.
