Kunobe ngukuphi, asesabi. Kungani? Ngobe liVi laNkulunkulu litsi: “INkhosi yetsembekile futsi itanicinisa, iphindze inivikele kulomubi.” (2 Thes. 3:3) Jehova usivikela kanjani?

(Taga 4:23) Jehova ulindzele kutsi simtsandze ngenhlitiyo yetfu yonkhe. (Mat. 22:36, 37) Ngako Sathane wetama kwehlukanisa inhlitiyo yetfu ngekutsi asente sitsandze tintfo letikulelive letenyanywa nguJehova. (Jak. 4:4; 1 Joh. 2:15, 16) Nangabe lelichinga lingamsebenteli, wetama kusiphatsa kabi kuze sente tintfo letingamjabulisi Jehova.

⁷ Sigcoka sivikelo sesifuba lesikulunga nasemukela timiso taJehova letimayelana nalokulungile nalokungakalungi futsi siphile ngekuvumelana nato. (Hla. 97:10) Labanye bangahle beve shengatsi timiso taJehova tibemuka inkhululeko. Kodvwa nasiyekela kusebentisa timiso letiseBhayibhelini ekuphileni kwetfu sitawube sifana nelisotja lelikhumula sivikelo salo sesifuba lisesemphini ngobe liva ngatsi siyesindza. Lobo bulima mbamba!

Nasingesaba futsi siyekele kushumayela singafana nelisotja lelikhumula tincabule talo kusaliwa; nalingenta njalo lingalimala tinyawo. Ngenca yaloko, kungaba matima kutsi litivikele nalihlaselwa, futsi ngeke selikhone kulandzela ticondziso tendvuna yalo.

Ngoba siyasivikela kuze singadukiswa timfundziso tetihlubuki, futsi singacedvwa ngemandla bantfu labahlekisa ngatsi ngenca yaloko lesikukholelwako.

Lelitsemba lisenta sihlale sinake tetsembiso taNkulunkulu futsi singancotjwa tinkinga tetfu. Sisigcoka njani lesigcoko setfu? Ngekutsi sihlale sicabanga ngendlela Nkulunkulu lacabanga ngayo.

Siyakhutsateka nasilalela timphendvulo letisuka enhlitiyweni tebazalwane betfu nabodzadze. Tinkhulumo letisekelwe eBhayibhelini nemiboniso kucinisa kutimisela kwetfu kukhonta Jehova. Siyakhutsateka nangekucoca nebazalwane betfu ngaphambi kwekutsi kucale imihlangano nangemuva kwayo.

Ngako yilungiselele kahle imihlangano yelibandla. Nakusachubeka imihlangano, lalelisisa. Ngemuva kwemihlangano, kusebentise lokuceceshwa lokutfolile. Nawutenta letintfo utawuba ‘lisotja lelihle laKhristu Jesu.’—2 Thim. 2:3.
