Izinceku ezikhonzayo zenza umsebenzi obalukele kakhulu emabandleni. Kusobala ukuthi la madoda athembekile ayeyigugu kumphostoli uPawulu. Ngokwesibonelo, ngesikhathi ebhalela amaKristu aseFilipi ngokukhethekile wabingelela izinceku ezikhonzayo kanye nabadala. (Fil. 1:1) Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi basebasha noma sebekhulile, abazalwane abaningi ababhapathiziwe bayakujabulela ukuba yizinceku ezikhonzayo. Ngokwesibonelo, uDevan wayeneminyaka engu-18 lapho eba inceku ekhonzayo. Kanti umzalwane okuthiwa uLuis waba inceku ekhonzayo eseyihlanganisile iminyaka engu-50. Lokho akusho kuveza indlela yena nabanye abaningi abazizwa ngayo. Wathi, “Kuyilungelo elikhulu kimi ukukhonza njengenceku ekhonzayo ikakhulukazi uma ngicabanga ngothando olukhulu abafowethu nodadewethu abangibonise lona ebandleni!” Uma ungumzalwane obhapathiziwe kodwa ungakabi inceku ekhonzayo, ungazibekela yini umgomo wokuba inceku ekhonzayo? w24.11 14 ¶1-3

Lapho eneminyaka engu-39, uHezekiya iNkosi yakwaJuda wathola ukuthi unesifo esibulalayo. Umprofethi u-Isaya watshela uHezekiya umyalezo ovela kuJehova othi wayezofa ngenxa yesifo esasimphethe. (2 AmaKh. 20:1) Kwakubonakala lingekho ithemba ngoHezekiya. Ngenxa yalezi zindaba ezibuhlungu, uHezekiya wakhala kakhulu. Wathandaza kuJehova ngokusuka enhliziyweni. UJehova wamzwela uHezekiya lapho ezwa umthandazo wakhe futhi embona ekhala, wathi kuye: “Ngiwuzwile umthandazo wakho. Ngizibonile izinyembezi zakho. Ngizokwelapha ekuguleni kwakho.” Esebenzisa u-Isaya, uJehova wambonisa isihe, wathembisa ukwenezela iminyaka ekuphileni kwakhe nokusindisa iJerusalema esandleni sama-Asiriya. (2 AmaKh. 20:​4-6) Ingabe uphethwe yisifo esingalapheki? Thandaza kuJehova umtshele indlela ozizwa ngayo, ngisho noma ukhala njengoba uthandaza. IBhayibheli lisiqinisekisa ngokuthi “uYise wesihe, uNkulunkulu wenduduzo yonke” uyosiduduza kulo lonke uvivinyo esibhekene nalo.—2 Kor. 1:​3, 4. w24.12 24 ¶15-17

Kuyojabulisa ngempela ukwamukela abantu abayobe bevusiwe! Cabanga nangokuthi uyokujabulela kangakanani ukufunda okwengeziwe ngoJehova ngokuhlola izinto eziningi azidalile. (IHu. 104:24; Isaya 11:9) Okuhle nakakhulu ukuthi kuyojabulisa kakhulu ukukhonza uJehova ngaphandle kokuhlushwa umuzwa wecala! Ingabe ubuyokhetha ‘ukujabula isikhashana esonweni’ kunokukhetha ukujabulela lezi zibusiso zesikhathi esizayo? (Heb. 11:25) Lutho neze! Noma yikuphi ukuzidela okumele sikwenze manje akulutho uma kuqhathaniswa nalezi zibusiso. Khumbula ukuthi iPharadesi lasemhlabeni ngeke lihlale liyithemba lesikhathi esizayo. Liyogcina lifikile, siphile kulo usuku nosuku. Konke lokhu kuyokwenzeka ngoba uJehova wasithanda kangangokuba waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ukuba isifele! w25.01 29 ¶12
