Ibanga eliqakatheke khulu lokutjhumayela iindaba ezimnandi kuthanda uJehova uZimu negama lakhe elicwengileko. Siqala umsebenzethu wokutjhumayela njengendlela yokudumisa uZimu esimthandako. Sivuma nabo boke abasezulwini abathi: “Ufanele Jehova Zimethu ukwamukela iphazimulo, idumo namandla.” Simnikela iphazimulo nedumo nasicocela abantu ngobufakazi obusiqinisekiso sokuthi siyaphila ngebanga lokuthi usinikele ukuphila. Sinikela uJehova amandla nasisebenzisa isikhathi sethu, amandla nezinto esinazo ukutjhumayela kanengi ngendlela esingakghona ngayo. (Mat. 6:33; Luk. 13:24; Kol. 3:23) Nasiyibeka bulula, kuyasithabisa ukukhuluma ngoZimu esimthandako. Sikubona kufaneleka ukutjela abanye ngegama lakhe nokuthi litjho ukuthini. w24.05 17 ¶11

UJehova usinikela ukuthula nokwaneliseka nje, uzosinikela nokuphila okungapheliko esikhathini esizako. Singathembela kuJehova besiqiniseke bona unesifiso namandla wokusibusisa. Ithembelo lizosenza sihlale simajadu ekumlotjheni, njengabantu ebebamlotjha ngokuthembeka esikhathini esidlulileko. Kwenzeka okufanako kuThimothi ngekhulu lokuthoma. (Heb. 6:10-12) UThimothi wathembela kuZimu ophilako. (1 Thim. 4:10) Yeke bekanamabanga amanengi wokusebenza budisi nokuzinikela. Ngaziphi iindlela? Umpostoli uPowula wamkhuthaza ukuthi athuthuke njengomuntu ofundisako nesikhulumi. UThimothi godu bekufuze abekele abantu akholwa nabo isibonelo esihle, kokubili abatjha nabadala. Wanikelwa nemisebenzi ebudisi, ehlanganisa ukunikela isiyalo esinethando kodwana esiqinileko nakutlhogekako. (1 Thim. 4:11-16; 2 Thim. 4:1-5) Yeke uThimothi bekaqiniseka ukuthi, uJehova bekazombusisa.—Rom. 2:6, 7. w24.06 22-23 ¶10-11

UJehova bekajayele ukusebenzisa abaphorofidi ukukhalima nokulungisa abantu bakhe. UZimu watjela uJoromiya ukuthi athi kuma-Israyeli: “Maye! Israyeli olahle ukukholwa . . . Angekhe ngisilingeke ngawe ngombana ngithembekile, angekhe ngikukwatele unomphela . . . Vuma umlandwakho kwaphela, ngombana uhlubuke kuJehova.” (Jor. 3:12, 13) UJehova watjela uJuweli bona athi ebantwini bakhe: “Buyelani kimi ngehliziyo yoke.” (Juw. 2:12, 13) UJehova wabuye godu wathi ku-Isaya athi ebantwini bakhe: “Hlambani, zihlwengiseni; susani izenzo ezimbi phambi kwami; lisani ukwenza okumbi.” (Isa. 1:16-19) UJehova watjela uHezekiyeli bona atlole ukuthi: “‘Kghani ngiyathaba na ngokufa kwabo boke abakhohlakeleko?’ . . . ‘Kghani angifisi na bona aphenduke eendleleni zakhe aragele phambili aphila? Angithabi ngokufa kwananyana ngubani,’ . . . nje-ke phendukani, niphile.” (Hez. 18:23, 32) Kumthabisa khulu uJehova ukubona abantu batjhuguluka nombana ufuna baphile ngokungapheliko! w24.08 9 ¶5-6
