Nkosi, sithotyelwa naziidemon ngenxa yegama lakho.—Luka 10:17.
Ukuba ulungiselela kakuhle ngaphambi kokuba uyokushumayela, awuzukuba nexhala kakhulu xa uncokola nabantu. Ngaphambi kokuba uYesu athume abafundi bakhe ukuba baye kushumayela, wabanceda balungiselela. (Luka 10:1-11) Ngenxa yokusebenzisa izinto ababezifundiswa nguYesu, baye benza izinto ezininzi ezintle, yaza loo nto yabavuyisa kakhulu. Ziintoni esinokuzenza xa silungiselela ukuyoshumayela? Simele sicinge ngendlela esinokubafundisa ngayo inyaniso abantu, sisebenzisa amazwi ethu. Kungasinceda nokucinga ngezinto ezimbini okanye ezintathu abanokuzithetha abantu esishumayela kubo, sicinge nendlela esinokubaphendula ngayo. Xa sithetha nabo sinokuzama ukuzola, ukuncuma nokuba nobubele. w24.04 16 ¶6-7

Ufanele Yehova Thixo wethu onamandla, ukwamkela uzuko nembeko, kuba wadala zonke izinto.—ISityhi. 4:11.
Esona sizathu sibalulekileyo sokuba sishumayele iindaba ezilungileyo kukuba sithanda uYehova uThixo negama lakhe elingcwele. Xa sishumayela sidumisa uThixo wethu esimthandayo. Sivumelana namazwi athi: “Ufanele Yehova Thixo wethu onamandla, ukwamkela uzuko nembeko.” Simnika uzuko nembeko ngokubonisa abantu ubungqina bokuba nguye ‘owadala zonke izinto,’ futhi siyaphila ngenxa yokuba wasinika ubomi. Sisebenzisa ixesha, amandla nezinto esinazo ukuze sishumayele kangangoko sinako. (Mat. 6:33; Luka 13:24; Kol. 3:23) Ngamany’ amazwi, siyakuthanda ukuthetha ngoThixo wethu esimthandayo. Siziva sinyanzelekile ukuxelela abanye ngegama lakhe nangokuba unguThixo onjani. w24.05 17 ¶11

Ungumvuzi wabo bamfuna ngokuzimisela.—Heb. 11:6.
UYehova usenza sibe noxolo size sonwabe ngoku, futhi uza kusinika ubomi obungunaphakade kwixesha elizayo. Sinokuthembela ngoYehova ngeentliziyo zethu zonke, siqinisekile ukuba uyafuna ukusisikelela futhi unamandla okuyenza loo nto. Loo nto inokusenza sihlale sixakeke kukumkhonza, njengokuba babenjalo abakhonzi bakhe bakudala. Wenza loo nto ke noTimoti owayephila ngexesha labapostile. (Heb. 6:10-12) UTimoti wayethembele ngoThixo ophilayo. (1 Tim. 4:10) Loo nto yamenza wasebenza nzima ngenxa kaYehova nabantu. Ziintoni awazenzayo? Umpostile uPawulos wamkhuthaza ukuba asebenzele ukufundisa bhetele entsimini nasebandleni. Kwakufuneka abe ngumzekelo kubantwana nakubantu abadala abasebandleni. Wanikwa neminye imisebenzi eyayinzima, njengokululeka abantu. Xa esenza loo nto kwakufuneka angqale kodwa abe nothando. (1 Tim. 4:11-16; 2 Tim. 4:1-5) UTimoti wayenokuqiniseka ukuba uYehova wayeza kumsikelela.—Roma 2:6, 7. w24.06 22-23 ¶10-11
