Nyula ke ubomi ukuze uphile, wena nenzala yakho.—Dut. 30:19.
Kodwa ke, kufuneka ungabaxeleli nje ukuba yintoni elungileyo nengalunganga. Kufuneka ubancede bakwazi ukuphendula imibuzo efana nale: ‘Kutheni iBhayibhile ingasivumeli senze ezinye zezinto ezikhangeleka ngathi zimnandi? Yintoni endenza ndiqiniseke ukuba iBhayibhile isoloko indinceda?’ (Isa. 48:17, 18) Ukuba umntwana wakho ufuna ukubhaptizwa, mbuze ukuba ucinga ntoni ngezinto ekuza kufuneka azenze nekuza kufuneka angazenzi xa engumKristu. Uza kufumana ntoni ngokuba ngumKristu? Uza kudibana neziphi iingxaki? Izinto aza kuzifumana zizodlula njani ezo ngxaki? (Marko 10:29, 30) Kaloku kusenokufuneka ajongane nezo zinto xa sele ebhaptiziwe. Ngoko kubalulekile ukuba acingisise ngazo ngaphambi kokuba abhaptizwe. Xa ubanceda abantwana bakho bazibone ezi zinto, baya kutsho baqiniseke. Baqiniseke ngantoni? Ngokuba ukuphila ngendlela iBhayibhile ethi mabaphile ngayo kuya kusoloko kubanceda. w17.12 21 ¶14-15

Uzibiza nangegama xa zizonke.—Isa. 40:26.
Abaninzi kuni bazalwana noodade banyamezele izigulo ezibuhlungu. Abanye benu nangona iminyaka sele ihambile, kufuneka bahoye abazali abalupheleyo. Abanye bona bawa bevuka bezama izinto eziyimfuneko. Ibe siyazi ukuba kwabanye ezi ngxaki zifika ngaxeshanye! Ukuba uYehova uzikhathalele izidalwa zakhe ezingaphiliyo, inoba uziva njani ke ngawe mkhonzi wakhe, omnqula kuba umthanda, hayi kuba unyanzelekile? (INdu. 19:1, 3, 14) UYehova ukwazi kakuhle. ‘Kwaneenwele ezi zentloko yakho uzibale zonke.’ (Mat. 10:30) Umdumisi uyasiqinisekisa ukuba uYehova uyazazi izinto abazinyamezeleyo abamsulwa. (INdu. 37:18) UYehova uyazibona iingxaki onazo ibe uza kukunika amandla okuba uzinyamezele. w18.01 7 ¶1; 8 ¶4

“Tabhitha, vuka!”—IZe. 9:40.
Xa uPetros wonke umntu owayelapho wazibonela le nto kangangokuba “abaninzi baba ngamakholwa eNkosini.” Ngoku babeza kukwazi ukuxelela abanye abantu ngeNkosi nangokuba uYehova uyakwazi ukuvusa abantu abafileyo. (IZe. 9:36-42) Bakhona nabanye abazibonela ngokwabo kuvuswa omnye umntu. Ngenye imini, umpostile uPawulos wayesentlanganisweni kwigumbi eliphezulu eTrowa, kwindawo ngoku ekumntla-ntshona weTurkey. UPawulos wathetha kwade kwasezinzulwini zobusuku. Kwakukho umfana ogama linguYutiko owayehleli ngasefestileni. Wabiwa bubuthongo waza wawa esuka kumgangatho wesithathu. Mhlawumbi ngugqirha uLuka owafika kuqala kuYutiko waza wamhlola. Wayengonzakalanga nje kuphela okanye engekho zingqondweni, kodwa wayeswelekile! UPawulos wehla waya ezantsi wamanga, waza wakhwaza echazela abantu ukuba uyaphila. Imele ukuba yabothusa nyhani abantu ababebukele! Bathi bakubona ukuba lo mfana obeswelekile uvusiwe, “bathuthuzeleka” kakhulu.—IZe. 20:7-12. w17.12 5 ¶10-11
