Moshitopolwa shika otatu ka kundathana iinima itano mbyoka omukonakoni e na okuninga, opo a ninge ehumokomeho noku ninginithwe.

4. Oshike tu na okundhindhilika kombinga yokukonakona naantu owala paufupi?

Omolwetompelo ndyono, otwa pumbwa okuladhipika aakonakonimbiimbeli yetu ya kale haya konakona kehe oshiwike. Ongiini tatu vulu oku shi ninga?

Ino dhimbwa kutya elalakano lyoye, oku mu kwathela a ninge ehumokomeho noku ninginithwe.

Opo wu mu  kwathele e shi ninge, mu yelithila nkene sha simana okwiilongekidhila ekonakono kehe, mokulesha komeho yethimbo shoka tamu ka kundathana, noku tale nkene ta vulu okutula miilonga shoka ti ilongo.

¹⁰ Kakele owala kokukonakona oshiwike kehe, omukonakoni ota ka mona mo uuwanawa, ngele oha ningi iinima yontumba kuye mwene kehe esiku. Okwa pumbwa okukala ha popi naJehova. Ongiini ta vulu oku shi ninga? Omokupulakena nokupopya naJehova. Ota vulu okupulakena kuKalunga mokulesha Ombiimbeli kehe esiku.

11. Omukonakoni ota vulu ngiini okwiilonga okugalikana momukalo gu uka, nomolwashike sha simana a kale ha galikana kuJehova pandjigilile?

¹¹ Ladhipika omukonakoni gwoye a kale ha popi naJehova okupitila megalikano esiku kehe. Uuna to tameke naasho to hulitha ekonakonombiimbeli lyeni, kala ho galikana tashi zi komutima, nokutumbula wo edhina lyomukonakoni gwoye momagalikano ngoka. Uuna ta pulakene komagalikano goye, ote ki ilonga nkene e na okugalikana tashi zi komutima, nokuukitha omagalikano ge kuJehova Kalunga, okupitila medhina lyaJesus Kristus.

Omolwaashoka omutima gwetu ngoka gwa kwatela mo omahalo getu nomaiyuvo, ohagu tu ningitha tu katuke oonkatu. Jesus okwa li ha longo aantu iinima oyindji noya li ye hole okupulakena kuye. Ihe aantu oya li wo haye mu landula, molwaashoka shoka a li he ya longo, osha li hashi ya gumu komitima. (Luk. 24:15, 27, 32) Omukonakoni gwoye okwa pumbwa okukala a tala ko Jehova e li Omuntu gwolela ngoka ta vulu okukala e na ekwatathano naye noku mu tala ko wo a fa He, Kalunga ke naKuume ke. (Eps. 25:4, 5) Uuna tamu konakona, kala ho tsu omuthindo omaukwatya omawanawa gaKalunga ketu, Jehova. (Eks. 34:5, 6; 1 Pet. 5:6, 7) Kutya nduno otamu kundathana shike, kala ho gandja eitulomo kuukwatya waJehova, opo omukonakoni gwoye a mone kutya Jehova omuntu a tya ngiini. Kwathela omukonakoni a kale e na olupandu omolwomaukwatya omawanawa gaJehova, ngaashi ohole ye, uunambili nolukeno. Jesus okwa ti kutya “oshipango oshinene noshotango,” osho “hola Omuwa Kalunga koye.” (Mat. 22:37, 38) Kambadhala okukokeka ohole yokuhola Kalunga momutima gwomukonakoni gwoye.

13. Gandja oshiholelwa shankene to vulu okukwathela omukonakoni i ilonge omaukwatya gaJehova.

¹³ Uuna tamu kundathana nomukonakoni gwoye, mu yelithila kutya omolwashike wu hole Jehova. Shoka otashi vulika shi kwathele omukonakoni a mone kutya naye okwa pumbwa okukala e na ekwatathano naJehova. (Eps. 73:28) Pashiholelwa, mbela moshileshomwa nenge menyolo ndyoka tamu kundathana omwa popiwa sha kombinga yaJehova shoka she ku guma komutima, ngaashi ohole ye, uunongo, uuyuuki nenge oonkondo dhe?

Opu na ishewe oshinima shilwe shoka omukonakonimbiimbeli kehe e na okuninga, opo a kale a gwana okuninginithwa.

14. Aahebeli 10:24, 25, otaye tu lombwele shike shi na ko nasha nokugongala hoka taku vulu okukwathela omukonakonimbiimbeli a ninge ehumokomeho?

¹⁴ Atuheni otwa hala aakonakoni yetu ya ninge ehumokomeho noya ninginithwe. Omukalo gumwe gwa simana tatu vulu oku ya kwathela ye shi ninge, omo ku ya ladhipika ya kale haya gongala negongalo. Aauvithi mboka ya pyokoka ohaya ti kutya aakonakoni mboka haye ya kokugongala pandjigilile, oyo unene haya ningi ehumokomeho  mbala. (Eps. 111:1) Aauvithi yamwe ohaya yelithile aakonakoni yawo kutya ngele oya hala okwiilonga oshindji kombinga yOmbiimbeli oya pumbwa wo okukala haye ya kokugongala. Lesha Aahebeli 10:24, 25 pamwe nomukonakoni gwoye e to mu yelithile omauwanawa ngoka ta ka mona ngele okwa kala he ya kokugongala. Mu ulukila okavidio: Oshike hashi ningwa pokugongala kwOonzapo dhaJehova? * Mu kwathela a kale a tala ko okuya kokugongala ku li oshinima sha simanenena monkalamwenyo.

15. Oshike tatu vulu okuninga tu ladhipike omukonakonimbimbeli a kale ha gongala pandjigilile?

¹⁵ Oshike to vulu okuninga ngele omukonakoni gwoye ine enda ko natango kokugongala nenge he ya ko owala omalupita? Mu hokololela nohamu kombinga yoshinima shontumba shoka wi ilonga pokugongala opo kwa zi ko. Shoka otashi vulu oku mu ladhipika e ye kokugongala, shi vulithe owala okukala ho mu hiya e ye. Mu pa Oshungolangelo nenge Okafo Onkalamwenyo yopaKriste niilonga yetu yokuuvitha, hoka taka konakonwa omwedhi ngoka. Mu ulukila shoka tashi ka kundathanwa pokugongala taku landula, e to mu pula kutya oshitopolwa shini e wete oshihokithi unene kuye. Shoka omukonakoni gwoye te ki ilonga pokugongala kwe kwotango, itashi vulu okuyelekwa naashoka i ilonga pokugongala kwomalongelokalunga galwe. (1 Kor. 14:24, 25) Pokugongala ota ka tsakaneka po wo yalwe mboka ye li oshiholelwa oshiwanawa shoka ta vulu okulandula, notaye ke mu kwathela wo a ninge ehumokomeho sigo a ninginithwa.

16. Oshike sha pumbiwa, opo ekonakonombiimbeli li kwathele omukonakoni a ninge ehumokomeho noku ninginithwe, noshike tatu ki ilonga moshitopolwa tashi landula?

¹⁶ Omomukalo guni tatu vulu okukala hatu konakona naakonakoni yetu, opo ya ninge ehumokomeho e taya ninginithwa? Otatu vulu okukwathela omukonakoni kehe a kale a tala ko ekonakonombiimbeli li li oshinima sha simana, moku mu ladhipika a kale ha konakona oshiwike kehe noku kale hi ilongekidha aluhe. Natu kale wo hatu ladhipike aakonakonimbiimbeli yetu ya kale haya popi naJehova esiku kehe, noya kale ye na ekwatathano ewanawa naye. Natu kale hatu ya ladhipike ya kale haye ya kokugongala. (Tala oshimpungu “ Shoka aakonakonimbiimbeli ye na okuninga, opo ya ninge ehumokomeho noya ninginithwe.”) Ihe ngaashi oshitopolwa tashi landula tashi ke shi yelitha, opu na iinima itano mbyoka tatu vulu okuninga, opo aakonakoni yetu ya ninge ehumokomeho e taya ninginithwa.
