Indlela Labadzala Labacecesha Ngayo Labanye Kutsi Bafaneleke

 1. (a) Yini tinceku taNkulunkulu lebetisolo tiyati ngekuceceshwa, futsi loku kusebenta njani lamuhla? (b) Sitawucoca ngani kulesihloko?

BANTFU baNkulunkulu bebasolo bati kutsi kuceceshwa kuletsa imphumelelo. Nasi sibonelo: Abrama wahlela ‘emadvodza akhe labececeshiwe’ kutsi ayewukhulula Loti, futsi aphumelela. (Genesisi 14:14-16) Ngesikhatsi seNkhosi Davide, bahlabeli ‘bebaceceshelwe’ kuhlabela tingoma letidvumisa Jehova. (1 Tikhronike 25:7) Lamuhla, kufanele silwe naSathane nelive lakhe. (Efesu 6:11-13) Siphindze sisebente ngekutimisela kute sidvumise Jehova ngekukhuluma nebantfu ngelibito lakhe. (Hebheru 13:15, 16) Njengetinceku taNkulunkulu tasendvulo, kuze siphumelele kufanele siceceshwe. Jehova unike emadvodza lamadzala umsebenti wekucecesha labanye ebandleni. (2 Thimothi 2:2) Ngutiphi tindlela lamanye emadvodza lamadzala latisebentisile kute aceceshe bazalwane kutsi banakekele bantfu baJehova?

 2. Ngaphambi kwekufundzisa umfundzi emakhono lamasha, yini lomdzala langafisa kuyenta, futsi ngani?

² Lomdzala welibandla angafaniswa nemlimi. Ngaphambi kwekutsi ahlanyele, umlimi uyawuvundzisa umhlabatsi kuze loko lakulimile kukhule kahle. Ngendlela lefanako, ngaphambi kwekutsi lomdzala afundzise umfundzi emakhono lamasha, angafisa kucoca naye ngetimiso letitsite letiseBhayibhelini letingamsita kutsi akulungele kusebentisa loko lakufundzako.​—1 Thimothi 4:6.

 3. (a) Emavi aJesu latfolakala kuMakho 12:29, 30 angasetjentiswa njani nakucocwa nemfundzi? (b) Umthantazo walomdzala welibandla ungamtsintsa njani umfundzi?

³ Kubalulekile kucondza kutsi liciniso liyitsintsa njani imicabango nemiva yemfundzi. Kute ukucondze loko, ungambuta kutsi kutinikela kwakhe kuJehova kutitsintse njani tincumo latentako ekuphileni kwakhe. Lombuto ungavula litfuba lekucoca ngekutsi singamkhonta njani Jehova ngenhlitiyo yonkhe. (Fundza Makho 12:29, 30.) Ungase uthantaze nalomzalwane futsi ucele Jehova amuphe umoya longcwele lawudzingako njengobe aceceshwa. Lomzalwane angakhutsateka nakakuva umthantazela.

 4. (a) Niketa tibonelo tetindzaba letiseBhayibhelini letingasita umfundzi atfutfuke. (b) Labadzala kufanele babe namuphi umgomo nabacecesha labanye?

⁴ Nawucala kucecesha umfundzi, kungaba kuhle kucoca ngetindzaba letiseBhayibhelini letingamsita abone kutsi kubalulekile kuba lusito, kwetsenjwa nekutfobeka. (1 Emakhosi 19:19-21; Nehemiya 7:2; 13:13; Imisebenti 18:24-26) Lobuntfu bubalulekile kumfundzi njengobe nje nekuvundzisa umhlabatsi kubalulekile. Bungasita umfundzi kutsi atfutfuke ngekushesha. Jean-Claude, longulomdzala waseFrance, utsi umgomo wakhe nakacecesha umfundzi kumsita kutsi ente tincumo letihlakaniphile naletisekelwe etimisweni letiseBhayibhelini. Utsi: “Ngivame kufuna ematfuba ekutsi sifundze umbhalo ndzawonye lotawukhona ‘kuvula emehlo’ akhe kute abone ‘timangaliso’ letitfolakala eVini laNkulunkulu.” (Tihlabelelo 119:18) Ngutiphi letinye tindlela umfundzi langaciniswa ngato?

 5. (a) Kubaluleke kangakanani kukhuluma nemfundzi mayelana nemigomo yakhe emsebentini waJehova? (b) Kungani labadzala kufanele baceceshe labasebasha? (Fundza umbhalo longentansi.)

⁵ Buta umfundzi kutsi iyini imigomo yakhe emsebentini waJehova. Nangabe ete, msite atibekele umgomo langakhona kuwufinyelela. Bani nemdlandla nawumtjela ngemgomo lobewunawo nangendlela lowativa ngayo nawuwufinyelela. Lendlela imelula futsi iyaphumelela. Victor longulomdzala futsi lolihlahlandlela e-Afrika utsi: “Ngesikhatsi ngisemncane, lomunye lomdzala welibandla wangibuta imibuto lembalwa mayelana nemigomo yami. Lemibuto yangisita kutsi ngicale kucabangisisa ngemsebenti lengiwentela Jehova.” Labadzala labanalokuhlangenwe nako batsi kubalulekile kucecesha bazalwane nabasebasha, mhlawumbe nabaseminyakeni yekutfomba. Ungabaniketa umsebenti lotsite ebandleni kuye ngebudzala babo. Nangabe bazalwane baceceshwa basebasha, loko kungabasita kutsi banake imigomo yabo ngisho nobe sebakhulile nalapho sekunetintfo letingabaphatamisa.​—Fundza Tihlabelelo 71:5, 17.a (Fundza umbhalo longentansi.)

 6. Nguyiphi indlela lebalulekile Jesu layisebentisa kute aceceshe labanye?

⁶ Kute ukhutsate umfundzi kutsi asebente ebandleni, kufanele ungagcini nje ngekumtjela loko lokufanele akwente. Kufanele umchazele kutsi kungani kubalulekile kukwenta loko. Jesu, uMfundzisi Lomkhulu, watjela baphostoli bakhe kutsi bashumayele. Kodvwa wacale wabatjela kutsi kungani kufanele balalele. Watsi: “Nginikwe lonkhe ligunya ezulwini nasemhlabeni. Ngako-ke hambani nente bantfu bato tonkhe tive babe bafundzi bami.” (Matewu 28:18, 19) Ungayilingisa njani indlela yaJesu yekucecesha?

7, 8. (a) Lamuhla, labadzala bangayilingisa njani indlela yaJesu yekucecesha? (b) Kubaluleke kangakanani kuncoma umfundzi? (c) Ngutiphi tintfo letingasita lomdzala kutsi akwati kucecesha labanye? (Fundza libhokisi lelitsi “Indlela Yekucecesha Labanye.”)

⁷ Nawucela umzalwane kutsi ente umsebenti lotsite, mchazele ngaloko lokushiwo liBhayibheli kutsi kungani lomsebenti ubalulekile. Nawenta njalo, usuke umfundzisa kutsi ente tintfo ngendlela leshiwo timiso teliBhayibheli hhayi ngobe nje kunemtsetfo lobekiwe. Sibonelo saloku kutsi nangabe ucela umzalwane kutsi agcine indzawo lesekungeneni eHholweni leMbuso ihlantekile futsi iphephile, ungase umkhombise Thithusi 2:10. Mchazele indlela kwenta lowo msebenti lokutawenta ngayo kutsi umlayeto weMbuso ukhange labanyenti. Phindze ucele lomfundzi kutsi acabange ngalabo lasebakhulile ebandleni nekutsi kwenta lomsebenti kutabasita njani. Incociswano lenjalo imceceshela kutsi akwati kucabanga ngebantfu esikhundleni semitsetfo lebekiwe. Nakabona indlela bazalwane nabodzadze labazuza ngayo emsebentini lawentako, utawujabula ngekutsi usita labanye.

⁸ Ciniseka kutsi uyamncoma umfundzi ngekutsi ukusebentisile loko lomtjele kona. Kubaluleke ngani kwenta njalo? Njengobe emanti asita tilimo kutsi tikhule futsi tibe nemphilo, kuncoma umfundzi kumsita kutsi atfutfuke emsebentini lawentela Jehova.​—Catsanisa naMatewu 3:17.

 9. (a) Kungani kungase kube matima ngalabadzala emaveni lanjingile kutsi baceceshe labanye? (b) Kungani kukhonta Nkulunkulu kungeti kucala ekuphileni kwalabanye bazalwane labasebasha?

⁹ Labadzala emaveni lanjingile bangase bakutfole kumatima kukhutsata bazalwane lababhajatisiwe labaseminyakeni lengu-20 budzala nobe lengu-30 kutsi bente lokunyenti ebandleni. Labadzala labanalokuhlangenwe nako emaveni lacishe abe ngu-20 basitjele sizatfu lesenta labanye bazalwane labasebasha babe bete sifiso sekwenta imisebenti leminyenti ebandleni. Linyenti labo litsi ngesikhatsi labanye bazalwane basebancane, batali babo abazange babakhutsate kutsi batibekele imigomo emsebentini waJehova. Nangabe labanye bazalwane labasebasha bafuna kwenta lokunyenti emsebentini waJehova, batali babo babakhutsata kutsi bafune imfundvo lephakeme nobe umsebenti kulelive. Ngako kwenta umsebenti waNkulunkulu akukaze kute kucala ekuphileni kwabo.​—Matewu 10:24.

10, 11. (a) Lomdzala angamsita njani kancane kancane umzalwane kutsi ashintje indlela lacabanga ngayo? (b) Ngumiphi imibhalo lomdzala langayisebentisa kute akhutsate umzalwane, futsi kungani? (Fundza umbhalo longentansi.)

¹⁰ Nangabe umzalwane abonakala ete sifiso sekwenta lokunyenti ebandleni, kumsita kutsi ashintje indlela lacabanga ngayo kungadzinga imetamo lemikhulu kanye nekubeketela, kodvwa angagcine asitakele. Umlimi angasita sihlahla kutsi sikhule kahle ngekutsi acondzise sicu saso. Ngendlela lefanako, kancane kancane ungasita umzalwane kutsi abone sidzingo sekushintja simo sakhe sengcondvo mayelana nekwenta imisebenti leminyenti ebandleni. Kodvwa ungamsita ngayiphi indlela?

¹¹ Tinike sikhatsi sekwakha bungani nalomzalwane. Mtjele kutsi libandla liyamdzinga. Njengobe sikhatsi sichubeka, bonisana naye ngemibhalo lengamsita kutsi acabange ngekutinikela kwakhe kuJehova. (Umshumayeli 5:4; Isaya 6:8; Matewu 6:24, 33; Lukha 9:57-62; 1 Khorinte 15:58; 2 Khorinte 5:15; 13:5) Yetama kumfinyelela inhlitiyo ngekutsi umbute imibuto lenjengalena: ‘Yini lowayetsembisa Jehova ngesikhatsi unikela kuphila kwakho kuye? Ucabanga kutsi Jehova wativa njani ngesikhatsi ubhajatiswa?’ (Taga 27:11) ‘Sathane yena wativa njani?’ (1 Phetro 5:8) Lemibhalo ingaba lusito kakhulu futsi ingayitsintsa ngalokujulile inhlitiyo yalomzalwane.​—Fundza Hebheru 4:12.b (Fundza umbhalo longentansi.)

12, 13. (a) Ngusiphi simo sengcondvo Elisha lasikhombisa njengobe bekangumfundzi? (b) Jehova wambusisa njani Elisha ngekwetsembeka kwakhe?

¹² Bazalwane labasebasha, libandla lidzinga lusito lwenu! Ngusiphi simo sengcondvo lesitanisita kutsi niphumelele emsebentini leniwentela Jehova? Kute nitfole imphendvulo, asesicoce ngaloko lokwenteka ekuphileni kwa-Elisha, umfundzi wasendvulo.

¹³ Eminyakeni lecishe ibe ngu-3 000 leyendlulile, umphrofethi Elija wacela Elisha losemusha kutsi amsite. Elisha wavuma ngekushesha futsi ngekwetsembeka wentela lomphrofethi umsebenti lophansi. (2 Emakhosi 3:11) Elija wacecesha Elisha iminyaka lecishe ibe sitfupha. Kwatsi ngesikhatsi umsebenti wa-Elija sewutawuphela ka-Israyeli, lomphrofethi wacela kutsi Elisha ayekele kumsebentela. Kodvwa Elisha washo tikhatsi letintsatfu watsi: “Ngingeke ngikushiye.” Abetimisele kuhlala nemfundzisi wakhe, yingci nje nakasakhona. Jehova wambusisa Elisha ngekwetsembeka kwakhe ngekumvumela kutsi abone Elija nakatsatfwa sivunguvungu.​—2 Emakhosi 2:1-12.

14. (a) Bafundzi bangamlingisa njani Elisha lamuhla? (b) Kungani kubaluleke kakhulu kutsi umfundzi etsembeke?

¹⁴ Njengobe ungumfundzi, ungamlingisa njani Elisha? Temukele ngekushesha tabelo, ngisho naleto letibonakala tiphansi. Khumbula kutsi umfundzisi wakho ungumngani wakho. Mbonge ngetintfo lakwentela tona futsi umkhombise kutsi uyafuna kuchubeka ufundza kuye. Lokubaluleke kakhulu kutsi wetsembeke nawenta tabelo takho. Ngani? Ngobe nawukhombisa kutsi wetsembekile futsi ungetsenjwa, labadzala bangaciniseka kutsi Jehova uyafuna wente imisebenti leminyenti ebandleni.​—Tihlabelelo 101:6; fundza 2 Thimothi 2:2.

15, 16. (a) Elisha wakhombisa njani kutsi uyamhlonipha umfundzisi wakhe? (Buka sitfombe lesisekucaleni kwalesihloko.) (b) Kungani labanye baphrofethi bametsemba Elisha?

¹⁵ Indzaba ya-Elisha iphindze ikhombise kutsi lamuhla kubalulekile ngebazalwane kuhlonipha labadzala labanalokuhlangenwe nako. Ngemuva kwekutsi Elija na-Elisha bavakashele licembu lebaphrofethi eJerikho, babese baya eMfuleni iJordane. “Elija watsatsa sembatfo sakhe wasigocota, wabe sewushaya ngaso lamanti. Emanti ehlukana ekhatsi.” Lamadvodza ewela lomfula emhlabatsini lowomile futsi ngesikhatsi ‘asahamba abekhulumisana omabili.’ Elisha walalelisisa konkhe lobekushiwo ngumfundzisi wakhe futsi wachubeka afundza kuye. Akazange atitjele kutsi wati konkhe. Elija wase utsatfwa sivunguvungu futsi Elisha wabuyela eMfuleni iJordane. Wafike washaya lamanti ngesembatfo sa-Elija wase utsi: ‘Uphi Jehova, Nkulunkulu wa-Elija?’ Lamanti aphindze ehlukana ekhatsi.​—2 Emakhosi 2:8-14.

¹⁶ Unakile yini kutsi simangaliso sekucala sa-Elisha besifana ncamashi nesimangaliso sekugcina sa-Elija? Kusifundzisani loku? Elisha akazange atitjele kutsi ngobe sewuneligunya, besekufanele ente tintfo ngendlela leyehlukile kuna-Elija. Esikhundleni saloko, ngekulingisa indlela Elija lebekenta ngayo, wakhombisa kutsi uyamhlonipha umfundzisi wakhe, futsi loko kwenta kutsi labanye baphrofethi bametsembe. (2 Emakhosi 2:15) Elisha waba ngumphrofethi iminyaka lengu-60 futsi Jehova wamnika emandla ekwenta timangaliso letinyenti kunaleto letentiwa ngu-Elija. Ngusiphi sifundvo bafundzi labangasifundza lamuhla?

17. (a) Bafundzi lamuhla bangasilingisa njani simo sengcondvo sa-Elisha? (b) Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi, Jehova angabasebentisa njani bafundzi labetsembekile?

¹⁷ Nawunikwa leminye imitfwalo ebandleni, ungatitjeli kutsi sekufanele wente tintfo ngendlela leyehluke ngalokuphelele kuleyo betentiwa ngayo. Khumbula kutsi lushintjo lwentiwa nangabe kunesidzingo ebandleni nobe nangabe kusho sicondziso lesivela enhlanganweni yaJehova. Akukafaneli wente lushintjo ngobe nje uva shengatsi ufuna kulwenta. Ngekuchubeka alingisa indlela ya-Elija yekwenta tintfo, Elisha wenta kutsi labanye baphrofethi bametsembe futsi wakhombisa kutsi uyamhlonipha umfundzisi wakhe. Ngendlela lefanako, nawuchubeka usebentisa tindlela tebafundzisi bakho letisekelwe eBhayibhelini, ukhombisa inhlonipho ngalabadzala labanalokuhlangenwe nako futsi bazalwane nabodzadzewenu batakwetsemba. (Fundza 1 Khorinte 4:17.) Njengobe uchubeka utfutfuka, utawuhambisana nelushintjo lolutawusita libandla kutsi lilandzele inhlangano yaJehova lechubekela embili. Ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi, Jehova angakusita kutsi wente imisebenti leminyenti kunaleyo leyentiwa bafundzisi bakho, njengobe asita Elisha.​—Johane 14:12.

18. Kungani kuphutfuma kucecesha bazalwane emabandleni?

¹⁸ Siyetsemba kutsi leteluleko lokukhulunywe ngato kulesihloko nakuleso lesendlulile, titawukhutsata labadzala labanyenti kutsi batinike sikhatsi sekucecesha bazalwane. Sithantazela nekutsi bazalwane labanyenti babe nesifiso sekuceceshwa futsi bakusebentise labakufundzile kuze banakekele bantfu baJehova. Loku kutawucinisa emabandla emhlabeni wonkhe futsi kusite ngamunye wetfu kutsi ahlale etsembekile etikhatsini letijabulisako letiseta.
