Ufana Nematolo Yini Umsebenti Wakho Wekushumayela?
UMSEBENTI wetfu wekushumayela ubalulekile futsi uligugu. Kodvwa akusibo bonkhe bantfu lesibashumayelako labakucondzako loko. Ngisho nobe bantfu bakutsandza loko lokushiwo liBhayibheli, kodvwa beva shengatsi asikho sidzingo sekutsi bafundze natsi liVi laNkulunkulu.
Cabanga ngesibonelo saGavin. Bekaya emihlanganweni eHholweni leMbuso, kodvwa bekangafuni kuchutjelwa sifundvo seliBhayibheli. Gavin utsi kuncane lebakakwati ngeliBhayibheli futsi bekangafuni labanye bakwati loko. Bekesaba kutsi utawutjelwa kutsi ajoyine licembu lelitsite lenkholo, futsi bekangafuni kwentiwa silima. Ucabangani? Bekulula yini kusita Gavin? Cabanga ngemiphumela lemihle timfundziso teliBhayibheli letingaba nayo kumuntfu. Jehova watsi kuma-Israyeli: “Emavi ami ahhohloke njengematolo nanjengemvula lenkhulu etikwalokumilile.” (Dutheronomi 31:19, 30; 32:2) Asesicoce ngetintfo letimbalwa mayelana nematolo futsi sicatsanise umsebenti wetfu wekushumayela nawo, kuze sitokhona kusita “tonkhe tinhlobo tebantfu” ngendlela lephumelelako.—1 Thimothi 2:3, 4.
UMSEBENTI WETFU WEKUSHUMAYELA UNGAFANA NJANI NEMATOLO?
Ematolo mahle. Ematolo enteka kancane kancane nangabe umoya lonemswakama uba ngematfonsi lamancane emanti. Emavi aJehova ‘ahhohloka njani njengematolo’? Wakhuluma nebantfu bakhe ngemusa. Natsi sisuke simlingisa nangabe sikuhlonipha loko labanye labakukholelwako. Sibakhutsata kutsi baticabangele bona futsi batentele netincumo. Nangabe sibakhombisa kutsi sinendzaba nabo, batakwemukela loko lesikushoko futsi umsebenti wetfu wekushumayela utawuphumelela kakhulu.
Ematolo ayahlumelelisa. Umsebenti wetfu wekushumayela utabakhutsata labanye nangabe sicabanga ngetindlela letihlukahlukene lesingabasita ngato kuze bafundze liciniso. Lomunye umzalwane ligama lakhe lokunguChris, lowacela kuchubela Gavin sifundvo seliBhayibheli, akazange amphocelele ngenkhani kutsi avume. Esikhundleni saloko wachubeka etama tindlela letehlukahlukene tekwenta Gavin ative akhululekile nabacoca ngeliBhayibheli. Chris watjela Gavin kutsi kunemlayeto lobakulekile loseBhayibhelini, futsi kufundza ngawo kungamsita kutsi ayicondze kancono imihlangano. Chris wase uyamchazela kutsi tiphrofetho letiseBhayibhelini timenta etsembe kutsi liBhayibheli liyincwadzi yeliciniso. Umphumela waloko waba kutsi bacoca ngetiphrofetho letinyenti kutsi tagcwaliseka njani. Lokucoca kwamkhutsata Gavin ngobe wagcina asemukele sifundvo seliBhayibheli.
Ematolo abalulekile etintfweni letiphilako. Ngesikhatsi sesomiso ka-Israyeli, kuyenteka lingani tinyanga letimbalwa. Ngaphandle kwematolo labangelwa ngumswakama, tihlahla tiyoma futsi tife. Jehova wabiketela kutsi esikhatsini setfu kutawuba shengatsi kunesomiso, lokusho kutsi bantfu batawomela ‘kuva emavi aJehova.’ (Amose 8:11) Wetsembisa kutsi labagcotjiwe batawufanana ‘nematolo latfunyelwe nguJehova’ njengobe bashumayela tindzaba letimnandzi teMbuso, basekelwa ‘nguletinye timvu.’ (Mikha 5:7; Johane 10:16) Lomlayeto lesiwushumayelako uyincenye yelilungiselelo laJehova lekuniketa kuphila kulabo labomele liciniso. Uwutsatsa njengalobalulekile yini lomlayeto?
Ematolo asibusiso lesivela kuJehova. (Dutheronomi 33:13) Umsebenti wetfu wekushumayela ungaba sibusiso nobe ube sipho kulabo labawemukelako. Sifundvo seliBhayibheli saba sibusiso kuGavin ngobe samsita watfola timphendvulo tayo yonkhe imibuto bekanayo. Watfutfuka ngekushesha, wabhajatiswa futsi nyalo ushumayela tindzaba letimnandzi teMbuso akanye nemkakhe Joyce.
UNGAWUTSATSELI PHANSI UMSEBENTI WAKHO WEKUSHUMAYELA
Kucatsanisa umsebenti wetfu wekushumayela nematolo kungaphindze kusisite sicondze kutsi imetamo leyentiwa ngumuntfu ngamunye ensimini iligugu. Kanjani? Litfonsi linye lemanti lisita kancane kodvwa nangabe kunetigidzi tematfonsi ematolo umhlabatsi uba nemswakama. Ngendlela lefanako, loko umuntfu ngamunye lakwentako ensimini kungabonakala kukuncane. Kodvwa umphumela uba kutsi nasekuhlanganiswe yonkhe imetamo yetigidzi tetinceku taJehova, bufakazi buniketwa “etiveni tonkhe.” (Matewu 24:14) Umsebenti wetfu wekushumayela utawuba sibusiso lesivela kuJehova yini kulabanye? Yebo umlayeto wetfu utawuba njengematolo, lokusho kutsi utawuba muhle, uhlumelelise futsi ubaluleke ekuphileni!
