Tsatsa Sibonelo Sebaphrofethi—Mikha
1. Ngumuphi umbuto lokungenteka kutsi Mikha watibuta wona, kodvwa kungani kushumayela kwakhe bekungesiko kudlala ngesikhatsi?
1 ‘Sitawufika nini siphelo salelive lelonakele?’ Kungenteka umphrofethi Mikha abecabange ngembuto lofanako ngalesikhatsi amemetela tehlulelo taJehova lebeticondzene nembuso waka-Israyeli kanye newakaJuda. Nome kunjalo, kushumayela kwakhe bekungesiko kudlala ngesikhatsi. Emavi aJehova ngalokucondzene neSamariya agcwaliseka ngemnyaka wa-740 B.C.E, ngesikhatsi Mikha asaphila. (Mik. 1:6, 7) Kamuva, iJerusalema yabhujiswa ngemnyaka wa-607 B.C.E. (Mik. 3:12) Esikhatsini lesiphila kuso, singamlingisa njani Mikha njengoba sisemele kukhokhwa kwetehlulelo taJehova?
2. Kungani kufanele sibeketele njengobe siselindzele lusuku lwaJehova, futsi singakwenta njani loko?
2 Beketela: Mikha wabhala watsi: “Kodvwa mine ngitakwetsembela kuSimakadze, ngilindzele Nkulunkulu ngesibindzi, ngobe nguye lotangiphephisa.” (Mik. 7:7) Mikha akazange nje ahlale agoce tandla amele kufika kwesiphelo. Wachubeka amatasa ngemsebenti wakhe wekuba ngumphrofethi waJehova. Sisemele kufika kwelusuku lwaJehova, kufanele natsi sibe matasa ‘ngetento tekutinikela kuNkulunkulu.’ (2 Phet. 3:11, 12) Kubeketela kwaJehova kuniketa bantfu litfuba lekuphendvuka. (2 Phet. 3:9) Ngaleso sizatfu, silandzela seluleko seliBhayibheli sekutsi sibeketele njengobe kwenta baphrofethi.—Jak. 5:10.
3. Kungani kufanele sicele Jehova kutsi asinikete umoya wakhe longcwele?
3 Yetsembela Emandleni AJehova: Nanome umsebenti wakhe bewunetinsayeya, Mikha wetsembela kuJehova kuze atfole emandla ekuwufeza. (Mik. 3:8) Ngenca yekutsi Jehova uyati kutsi siyawadzinga lamandla, eVini lakhe usikhutsata kutsi setsembele kuye kute siwatfole. Upha labakhatsele emandla kute bakhone kufeza umsebenti labanikete wona. (Hla. 84:5, 7; Isa. 40:28-31) Uke wakubona yini loko kwenteka kuwe njengoba ufeza umsebenti longcwele? Uvamile yini kucela Jehova kutsi akunikete umoya wakhe longcwele kute ukusite?—Luk. 11:13.
4. Indlela Mikha labephila ngayo isibekela siphi sibonelo lesihle lamuhla?
4 Kwenta intsandvo yaNkulunkulu kwaba yintfo lemcoka kuko konkhe kuphila kwaMikha. Abetimisele kuhlala etsembekile nanome abetungeletwe bantfu labatiphatsa kabi. Natsi bucotfo betfu buvivinywa malanga onkhe. Ngako asichubeke sibambelele esincumeni setfu ‘sekukhonta Simakadze Nkulunkulu wetfu phakadze naphakadze.’—Mik. 4:5.
