Usukulungele Yini ‘Ukudla Ilifa Lomhlaba’?
SIKULINDELE ngabomvu ukugcwaliseka kwesithembiso sikaJesu esithi: “Bayathokoza abamnene ngoba bazakudla ilifa lomhlaba.” (Mat. 5:5) Abagcotshiweyo bazakudla ilifa lomhlaba nxa sebebusa loJesu ezulwini. (Isam. 5:10; 20:6) Kodwa amaKhristu amanengi lamuhla alindele ukuthola ilifa lomhlaba njalo ahlale kuwo kuze kube nini lanini, engelasono futhi elokuthula njalo ethokoza. Lanxa kunjalo kulemisebenzi eqakathekileyo okuzamele bayenze. Kuzamele batshintshe umhlaba ube liPharadayisi, bancedise abavusiweyo njalo babafundise. Manje ungenzani khathesi ukuze utshengise ukuthi ulesifiso sokwenza izinto lezi emhlabeni omutsha?
USUKULUNGISELELE YINI UKUTSHINTSHA UMHLABA UBE LIPHARADAYISI?
UJehova watshengisa ukuthi umhlaba wonke uzakuba liPharadayisi ngesikhathi etshela abantu ukuthi ‘bagcwalise umhlaba bawubuse.’ (Gen. 1:28) Abazaphila kuze kube nini lanini emhlabeni kuzamele bawutshintshe ube liPharadayisi. Umhlaba awusoze uvuke uliPharadayisi. Phela insimu yase-Edeni ayisekho. Ngemva kwe-Amagedoni kuzaba lomsebenzi omnengi wokuklina lokulungisa izindawo ebezitshaphazwa ngabantu emhlabeni. Kuyabe kungumsebenzi sibili.
Lokhu kusikhumbuza umsebenzi ama-Israyeli okwakumele awenze esevela eBhabhiloni. Ilizwe lawo lalisele lingamanxiwa okweminyaka engu-70. Kodwa u-Isaya wayewatshele ukuthi uJehova wayezawabusisa alilungisise libe lihle. Waphrofetha wathi: ‘Uzakwenza inkangala yayo ibe njenge-Edeni lendawo yayo elugwadule ibe njengensimu kaJehova.’ (Isaya. 51:3) Ama-Israyeli aphumelela ukukwenza lokhu. Esikhathini esizayo uJehova uzabusisa abantu abazakudla ilifa lomhlaba, benelise ukuwutshintsha ube liPharadayisi. Ngakho kulezinto ongazenza khathesi ukuze utshengise ukuthi lawe uyafuna ukuncedisa emsebenzini lo.
Okunye ongakwenza yikuzama sibili ukugcina indlu leguma lakho lihlanzekile futhi libukeka. Ungenza konke ongakwenza lanxa omakhelwane bakho bengamatshapha. Kanti njalo ungancedisa nxa kuklinwa loba kulungisiswa iwolu yenu loba iWolu Yemihlangano Emikhulu. Nxa izimo zakho zivuma ungabhalisa ukuze uncedise nxa kungaba lomonakalo. Nxa ungabhalisa kuzatshengisa ukuthi uzimisele ukuncedisa abafowenu labodadewenu nxa kungavuka okuthile. Zibuze, ‘Kukhona yini engingakufundela besengikusebenzisa nxa uJehova angangivumela ukuthi ngiphile kuze kube nini lanini emhlabeni?’
USUKULUNGISELELE YINI UKUNCEDISA ABAZAVUSWA?
UJesu wathi esevuse indodakazi kaJayirosi wathi iphiwe ukudla. (Mak. 5:42, 43) Kwakungasiwomsebenzi onzima ukunika umntwana oleminyaka engu-12 ukudla. Kodwa cabanga ngomsebenzi omnengi ozabakhona uJesu esegcwalise isithembiso sakhe esithi, ‘Bonke abasemathuneni bazalizwa ilizwi layo baphume.’ (Joh. 5:28, 29) IBhayibhili alisitsheli okunengi ngokuthi abazavuswa bazadinga ukuncediswa ngani, kodwa kumele ukuthi bazafuna ukuncediswa ukuthi bathole ukudla, indawo yokuhlala kanye lokokugqoka. Ungatshengisa njani ukuthi uzimisele ukuncedisa? Nansi imibuzo ongazibuza yona.
Ungenzani khathesi okutshengisa ukuthi usukulungele ukudla ilifa lomhlaba?
Nxa kungaba lesaziso sokuthi umbonisi wesiqinti uyabuya ebandleni lenu, uyamnxusa yini endlini yakho? Nxa abafowethu labodadewethu abasebenza eBhetheli bangaphiwa omunye umsebenzi futhi babuye ebandleni lenu, ungabancedisa yini ukuthi bathole indawo yokuhlala? Nxa umbonisi wesiqinti angama ukuhambela amabandla, ungamncedisa yini ukuthi athole indawo yokuhlala? Nxa kungaba lomhlangano omkhulu endaweni yakini, ungazinikela yini ukuncedisa umhlangano ungakaqali lanxa usuphelile loba wamukele abavela kwezinye indawo?
USUKULUNGISELELE YINI UKUFUNDISA ABAZAVUSWA?
Amazwi akumiSebenzi 24:15 atshengisa ukuthi kuzavuswa amabhiliyoni abantu emhlabeni. Abanengi kuzabe kuyilabo abangazange bathole ithuba lokumazi uJehova. Nxa bangavuswa kulapho abazathola khona ithuba lokuthi bafundiswe ngaye.a Izinceku zikaNkulunkulu ezithembekileyo zizancedisa emsebenzini wokubafundisa. (Isaya. 11:9) UCharlotte, oseke watshumayela e-Europe, eSouth America, lase-Africa ukulindele ngabomvu lokhu. Uthi: “Ngikulindele sibili ukufundisa abantu abazavuswa. Nxa ngingabala ngomuntu owaphila endulo ngijayele ukuthi: ‘Aluba umuntu lo wayemazi uJehova impilo yakhe yayizabe ingcono kakhulu.’ Ngikulindele ngabomvu ukubatshela ngoJehova lokuthi impilo zabo zizakuba ngcono kakhulu nxa bangafunda ngaye.”
Izinceku zikaJehova ezithembekileyo ezaphila uJesu engakabuyi emhlabeni lazo kuzamele zifundiswe izinto ezinengi. Cabanga ukuthi kuyabe kuyisibusiso futhi kumnandi njani ukuchasisela uDanyeli ukuthi iziphrofetho azibhalayo engazizwisisi zagcwaliseka njani. (Dan. 12:8) Cabanga ngokuthi uzezwa njani usuchasisela uRuthe loNawomi ukuthi emulini yabo kulapho okwaphuma khona uMesiya. Kuzabe kumnandi sibili ukwenza umsebenzi lo, sifundisa abantu kungelanhlupho ezigcwele emhlabeni lo omubi!
Kuyini ongakwenza khathesi ukuze utshengise ukuthi usukulungele ukufundisa abantu abazavuswa? Okunye ongakwenza yikuthuthukisa indlela otshumayela ngayo lokukhuthala enkonzweni. (Mat. 24:14) Lanxa ungenelisi ukwenza okunengi khathesi ngenxa yokuthi usugugile kumbe ngenxa yezinye izimo, ungatshengisa ukuthi uzimisele ukufundisa abantu abazavuswa ngokwenza konke ongakwenza khathesi.
Yikho-ke imibuzo esalayo nansi: Ukulindele ngabomvu yini ukudla ilifa lomhlaba? Ukulindele yini ukutshintsha umhlaba ube liPharadayisi, lokuncedisa abavusiweyo lokubafundisa? Ungatshengisa ukuthi usukulungele nxa usuqalisile ukwenza imisebenzi efanana laleyo ozayenza nxa ususidla ilifa lomhlaba.
