Ngesikhathi namukela izwi likaNkulunkulu, . . . anilamukelanga njengezwi labantu, kodwa njengezwi likaNkulunkulu.—1 Thes. 2:13.
Izinceku zikaJehova ziyazisa kakhulu incwadi kaJehova engcwele, iBhayibheli. Njengoba singaphelele, sonke siyasithola iseluleko semiBhalo ngezinye izikhathi. Sisabela kanjani? Cabanga ngamaKristu angekhulu lokuqala u-Evodiya noSintike. Kwaphakama izinkinga ezinkulu phakathi kwalaba besifazane abagcotshiwe. Inkinga eyayikhona phakathi kuka-Evodiya noSintike kungenzeka yaphazamisa ukuthula kwalo lonke ibandla. IBhayibheli alisitsheli ukuthi waba yini umphumela, kodwa labo dade kungenzeka basabela kahle eselulekweni sikaPawulu sothando. (Fil. 4:2, 3) Izimo ezifanayo ngezinye izikhathi zibangela ubunzima emabandleni abantu bakaJehova namuhla. Nokho, izinkinga ezinjalo zingaxazululwa noma zigwenywe uma sisebenzisa iseluleko esisithola eZwini likaNkulunkulu, iBhayibheli. Uma siyazisa kakhulu iNcwadi kaJehova, siyophila ngokuvumelana neziqondiso zayo.—IHu. 27:11. w16.11 3:1-3

Ingabe uzibonise udangele ngosuku losizi? Amandla akho ayoba mancane.—IzAga 24:10.
Sonke sidinga isikhuthazo. Lokho kuyiqiniso nakakhulu lapho sisakhula. Uthisha uTimothy Evans uthi, “Izingane . . . zidinga isikhuthazo njengoba izitshalo zidinga amanzi. Lapho ikhuthazwa, ingane izizwa ibalulekile futhi yaziswa.” Kodwa siphila ezikhathini ezibucayi. Abantu bazicabangela bona, abanalo uthando futhi isikhuthazo siyivela kancane. (2 Thim. 3:1-5) USathane uDeveli ufuna ukusidikibalisa ngoba uyazi ukuthi ukudikibala kungasenza buthaka ngokomoya nangezinye izindlela. USathane wasebenzisa izinhlekelele nezinsolo ukuze azame ukudikibalisa uJobe olungileyo, kodwa lelo tulo elinonya labhuntsha. (Jobe 2:3; 22:3; 27:5) Singalwa nemisebenzi kaDeveli ngokukhuthaza amalungu omndeni nawebandla. Lokhu kuyosiza ekwenzeni amakhaya ethu neHholo LoMbuso kube izindawo esijabula futhi sivikeleke kuzo. w16.11 1:4,6

[UNkulunkulu] owanibiza ukuba niphume ebumnyameni ningene ekukhanyeni kwakhe okumangalisayo.—1 Pet. 2:9.
Amadoda anesibindi ngasekuqaleni kwekhulu le-16 aqala ukuhumushela iZwi likaNkulunkulu ezilimini ezazikhulunywa abantu abavamile. Njengoba iBhayibheli lase litholakala, abantu balifunda. Njengoba befunda, babebuza imibuzo: ‘Kukuphi nendawo lapho iZwi likaNkulunkulu likhuluma khona ngesihlanzo? ngokukhokhelwa kwethikithi? ngopapa nokhadinali?’ Lokhu kwakubacasula abefundisi. Kungenzeka kanjani ukuba abantu baphikise abaholi besonto? Isonto laziphindiselela. Amadoda nabesifazane bajeziswa ngokuba izihlubuki ngenxa yokuthi babenqabe izimfundiso zesonto. Isonto lalikhipha isahlulelo sokufa; uHulumeni enze ngokuvumelana naleso sinqumo. Umgomo kwakuwukudikibalisa abantu ekufundeni iBhayibheli nasekungabazeni izimfundiso zesonto. Leli cebo lasebenza ngokwezinga elithile. Nokho, abantu abambalwa abanesibindi benqaba ukwesatshiswa iBhabhiloni Elikhulu. Base belinambithile iZwi likaNkulunkulu—futhi babefuna ukwazi okwengeziwe! w16.11 4:13
