7. Yini lesingayenta kute sishintje loko lesingiko mbamba?

⁷ Kungenteka yini vele kutsi sishintje loko lesingiko mbamba? LiVi laNkulunkulu litsi: “Kufanele nichubeke nentiwe nibe basha emandleni enu ekucabanga, nigcoke buntfu lobusha lobentiwa ngekuvumelana nentsandvo yaNkulunkulu ngekulunga nangebucotfo lobungibo.” (Ef. 4:23, 24) Ngako singakhona kushintja lesingiko ngekhatsi, kodvwa akusiko melula kwenta njalo. Kufanele sente lokungetulu nje kwekuyekela imicabango lemibi nekwenta tintfo letimbi. Kufanele sishintje ‘emandla etfu ekucabanga.’ Loko kufaka ekhatsi kushintja tifiso tetfu, imikhuba yetfu kanye netisusa tetfu tekwenta tintfo. Loku kudzinga imetamo lechubekako.

8-9. Lokwenteka kulomunye umzalwane kusigcizelela njani sidzingo sekushintja loko lesingiko ngekhatsi?

⁸ Asesicoce ngalomunye umzalwane lobekanebudlova. Ngemuva kwekutsi sekayekele kunatsa tjwala kanye nekulwa, wakufanelekela kubhajatiswa, futsi loko kwaba bufakazi lobuhle kakhulu endzaweni labehlala kuyo. Kodvwa ngemuva kwekubhajatiswa wavivinywa ngendlela labengakayilindzeli. Ngalelinye lilanga ekhaya lakhe kwefika indvodza lebeyidzakiwe futsi beyifuna kulwa naye. Ekucaleni lomzalwane akazange avume kulwa nayo. Kodvwa ngesikhatsi lendvodza icala kuhlambalata libito laJehova, lomzalwane wehluleka kutibamba. Waphumela ngephandle futsi wayishaya. Yini leyenta lomzalwane wangakhoni kutibamba? Ngisho nobe kudadisha liBhayibheli bekumsitile kutsi ancobe sifiso sekulwa, kodvwa bekasengakawashintji emandla akhe ekucabanga. Ngalamanye emagama, lomzalwane bekasengakashintji kuloko labengiko ngekhatsi.

⁹ Nobe kunjalo, lomzalwane akazange aphelelwe ngemandla. (Taga 24:16) Ngekusitwa ngulabadzala belibandla, wachubeka atfutfuka kahle. Kwagcine sekumfanela kuba ngulomdzala welibandla. Ngalelinye lilanga entsambama, angephandle kweliHholwa leMbuso wabhekana nesilingo lebesike samehlela eminyakeni leyendlulile. Lenye indvodza lebeyidzakiwe beyifuna kushaya lomunye walabadzala belibandla. Yini lomzalwane wetfu layenta? Watitfoba, futsi wehlisa umoya wakhuluma nalendvodza wayisita kutsi nayo yehlise umoya. Njengoba beyidzakiwe wayisita kutsi ibuyele ekhaya. Kungani lomzalwane enta ngendlela leyehlukile? Kungenca yekutsi besekashintje emandla akhe ekucabanga. Besekanekuthula mbamba aphindze atfobekile, loko kwaletsa ludvumo kuJehova.

10. Yini lokufanele siyente kute sikhone kushintja loko lesingiko ngekhatsi?

¹⁰ Letingucuko atenteki ngekushesha, tidzinga sente imetamo. Kungahle kuphele iminyaka leminyenti solo ‘senta konkhe lokusemandleni etfu.’ (2 Phet. 1:5) Letingucuko atenteki ngenca yekutsi sesinesikhatsi lesidze sikhonta Jehova. Kufanele sitimisele kute sishintje loko lesingiko ngekhatsi. Kunetinyatselo letibalulekile lekufanele sititsatse kute sikhone kushintja. Asesihlolisise letinye tato.

11. Umthantazo usisita njani sishintje emandla etfu ekucabanga?

¹¹ Kuthantaza kusinyatselo sekucala lesibalulekile. Kufanele silingise umhlabeleli lowathantaza watsi: “Nkulunkulu, dala kimi inhlitiyo lehlantekile, uvuselele kimi umoya wekulunga.” (Hla. 51:10) Kufanele sivume kutsi kudzingeka sishintje emandla etfu ekucabanga futsi sicele Jehova asisite. Yini lengasicinisekisa kutsi Jehova utasisita sente lushintjo? Kungasikhutsata kakhulu loko Jehova lakwetsembisa ema-Israyeli labenenkhani ngesikhatsi saHezekeli. “Ngiyawubanika inhlitiyo yinye, ngifake umoya lomusha ekhatsi kubo, ngibanike inhlitiyo yenyama [inhlitiyo lelalela ticondziso taNkulunkulu].” (Hez. 11:19) Jehova bekatimisele kusita ema-Israyeli kutsi ente lushintjo, futsi nalamuhla utimisele kusisita.

12-13. (a) Ngekusho kweTihlabelelo 119:59, yini lokufanele sizindle ngayo? (b) Ngumiphi imibuto lokufanele sitibute yona?

¹² Kuzindla kusinyatselo sesibili lesibalulekile. Njengobe sifundza liVi laNkulunkulu onkhe malanga, kufanele sitinike sikhatsi sekuzindla ngaloko lesikufundzako. Loko kutasisita sibone imicabango kanye netintfo lokufanele sitishintje. (Fundza Tihlabelelo 119:59; Heb. 4:12; Jak. 1:25) Kufanele sikhone kubona noma ngabe ngumiphi imikhuba nemibono lekhutsatwa bantfu balelive. Kufanele sivume kutsi sinebutsakatsaka futsi setame kwenta konkhe lesingakwenta kute sibuncobe.

¹³ Nasi sibonelo, tibute: ‘Enhlitiyweni yami kukhona yini kutigcabha kanye nemona?’ (1 Phet. 2:1) ‘Ngiyatigcabha yini ngenca yendzawo lengakhulela kuyo, imfundvo nome imali lenginayo?’ (Taga 16:5) ‘Ngibabukela phasi yini bantfu labete tintfo lenginato noma labanebuve lobehlukile kubami?’ (Jak. 2:2-4) ‘Ngiyatihawukela yini tintfo talelive laSathane?’ (1 Joh. 2:15-17) ‘Ngiyakutsandza yini kutijabulisa ngetintfo letinebudlova kanye nekutiphatsa lokubi?’ (Hla. 97:10; 101:3; Amo. 5:15) Timphendvulo talemibuto tingakusita ubone lapho kufanele utfutfukise khona. Babe wetfu losezulwini utawujabula nangabe sikhona kuncoba imicabango kanye nemiva lenemandla.—Hla. 19:14.

14. Kubaluleke ngani kutsi sikhetse bangani labakahle?

¹⁴ Kukhetsa bangani labakahle kusinyatselo sesitsatfu lesibalulekile. Bantfu lesitihlanganisa nabo bayayitsintsa indlela lesiphila ngayo. (Taga 13:20) Emsebentini nome esikolweni, sihlangana nebantfu labangeke basisite sicabange ngendlela Jehova lafuna sicabange ngayo. Nobe kunjalo, bangani labakahle singabatfola emihlanganweni yebuKhristu. Kulemihlangano singakhutsatana “elutsandvweni nasemisebentini lemihle.”—Heb. 10:24, 25.
