Kodwana nawe kufuze ukusebenzele ukusindiswa kwakho ngitjho nanyana usahlala nababelethi bakho. Kubayini kuqakathekile ukukhumbula lokho? Ngombana angeze wazi ukuthi uzokuqalana namiphi imiraro ekuphileni kwakho ngaso soke isikhathi.”

Okutjho bona wathembisa uMbusi wezulu nephasi ukuthi uzomlotjha ngitjho nanyana ababelethi bakho namkha abangani bakho balisa ukumlotjha.

7. Kutjho ukuthi ukwenza isindiswakho iphumelele “ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela”?

⁷ UJehova ufuna ube mnganakhe. Kodwana nawuzakuhlala umnganakhe begodu wenze nesindiswakho ibe yipumelelo, kuzokufuze usebenze ngamandla. Kungebangelo incwadi yebeFilipi 2:12 ithi: “Yenzani isindiswenu ibe yipumelelo ngokwesaba nangokuthuthumela.” Amezwi la atjho ukuthi kufuze uzibuze bona yini ozoyenza bona ubulunge isingani sakho noJehova begodu uhlale uthembekile kungakhathaliseki bona uqalana namiphi imiraro. Nokho lokho akutjho ukuthi kufuze sizithembe khulu, sithi thina angeze saphambuka. Ngitjho nabakhulekeli bakaZimu bakade bakhe baphambuka.

9. Ngiziphi izinto ihlangano kaJehova esenzele zona ezikusizileko nawuzifundelako?

⁹ Ihlangano kaJehova isenzela izinto ezinengi khulu ezingasisiza nasifundako. Ngokwesibonelo, ku-jw.org kunesihloko esithi, “Izimfundiso ZeBhayibheli” nawugandelela lapho uzokubona nesithi “Intsha,” lapho kunengi khulu ongakufunda ngeBhayibheli. Kubuye kube nama-study guide wencwadi ethi “Khuyini Kwamambala Okufundiswa YiBhayibhili?” Wona-ke angakusiza bona uqiniseke ngeenkolelo zakho. Ama-study guide la angabuye akufundise ukuthi ungabahlathululela njani abanye abantu iinkolelo zakho. Ezinye iindlela ongazisebenzisa zokufunda zifumaneka ePhaphameni! ka-April 2009 (ifumaneka ngesiZulu) ngaphasi kwesihloko esithi “Intsha Iyabuza . . . Ngingakwenza Kanjani Ukufunda IBhayibheli Kujabulise?” Kwamambala ukufunda kudlala indima ethe tjha ekusisizeni bona senze ukusindiswa kwethu kuphumelele.—Funda iRhubo 119:105.

10. Kubayini ukuthandaza kuqakatheke kangaka emKrestwini?

¹⁰ Ukufunda ngoZimu ngenye yendlela esimlalela ngayo, kodwana nasithandazako vane sikhuluma naye. Akukafuzi sesimane sithandaze nje ngombana vele kujayelekile namkha sicabange ukuthi yindlela yokufumana itjhudu mhlamunye entweni ethileko esiyenzako. Kodwana kufuze sihlale sikhumbula ukuthi nasithandazako sikhuluma noMdalethu. UJehova ufuna ukhulume naye. (Funda beFilipi 4:6.) Nakwenzeka uqalane nanyana ngimuphi umraro, ungalibali ukuthi iBhayibheli lithi: “Phosa  umthwalwakho kuSomnini.” (Rhu. 55:22, [55:23, NW]) Uyawakholelwa na amezwi la? Kuneengidi zabanakwethu nabodadwethu abangakutjela ukuthi ukulalela amezwi la kwabasiza tle. Yeke nawe kungakusiza!

11. Kubayini kufuze uhlale umthokoza uJehova?

¹¹ Akukafuzi sithandaze kuJehova nasifuna asenzele okuthileko nje kwaphela. IBhayibheli lithi: “Yibani nokuthokoza.” (Kol. 3:15) Ngasikhathi singasolo siqalene nemirarwethu besingasabona neembusiso uJehova asiphe zona. Yeke akhulinge ukuthi qobe langa uziphe isikhathi sokucabanga ngezinto ongasenani ezintathu okufuze uthokoze uJehova ngazo bese uyathandaza umthokoze. Omunye umntazana oneminyaka eli-18 ibizo lakhe ngu-Abigail, wabhajadiswa aneminyaka eli-12. Uthi: “Ngicabanga ukuthi uJehova nguye okufuze simthokoze ukudlula nanyana ngubani ezulwini nephasini. Sisebenzise elinye nelinye ithuba bona simthokoze ngebanga lezipho asiphe zona.” U-Abigail uthi kunombuzo azibuza wona, uthi: Nabe kungathiwa ngisale nezinto engithokoza uJehova ngazo, bengingasala nani? *

12, 13. Kubayini kuqakathekile ukucabanga ngeendlela esibone ngazo ubuhle bakaJehova?

¹² UJehova wasiza iKosi uDavide nayiqalane nemiraro-kazi eminengi ekuphileni kwayo. Ngemva kokuthi inambithe bona kunjani ukusizwa nguJehova, yathi: “Yizwani benibone bonyana uSomnini muhle, ubusisiwe umuntu ophephela kuye.” (IRhubo 34:9, [34:8, NW]) Iveseli lisitjela ukuthi kufuze sizinambithele thina ngokwethu ubuhle bakaJehova. Nawufunda iBhayibheli, iincwadi ezisekelwe kilo, uye nesifundweni ukukghona ukuzwa imilando ekhuthazako emalungana nendlela uZimu asize ngayo abakhulekeli bakhe bona bahlale bathembekile. Kodwana nawuzakuthuthukisa ithando lakho ngoZimu kuzokufuze ubone indlela akusize ngayo wena. Alo ububone njani ubuhle bakaJehova?

¹³ Soke sanambitha ubuhle bakaJehova ngesikhathi azasimema bona sitjhedelane naye neNdodanakhe. Kungebangelo uJesu athi: “Akakho ongeza kimi nakube uBaba ongithumileko akamdoseli kimi.” (Jwa. 6:44) Kodwana umbuzo ukukuthi wena uyakholwa na bona uJehova wakudosela kuye? Umuntu omutjha angathi, ‘Kuhlekuhle uJehova wadosa ababelethi bami, nakungimi yena sengimane ngiyalandela.’ Ungalibali bona ngesikhathi unikela ukuphila kwakho kuJehova bewabhajadiswa, wazakhela ubuhlobo obuqakatheke khulu noJehova. Yeke naye sele akwazi. Ngombana iBhayibheli lithi: “Umuntu othanda uZimu waziwa nguZimu.” (1 Kor. 8:3) Yeke ungathomi unyaze indawo uZimu akubeke kiyo ehlanganwenakhe le, kodwana ithathe njengeligugu bewuyithokozele.

14, 15. Isimu ingakusiza njani bona uqinise ukukholwa kwakho?

¹⁴ Isibindi sokutjhumayeza abanye abantu ngenye yendlela onganambitha ngayo ubuhle bakaJehova. Kungakhathaliseki bona utjhumayela tjhatjhalazi namkha esikolweni. Kwabanye nakufuze batjhumayeze abantwana abafunda nabo, kubethana amadolo. Iye khona kuliqiniso bona kubudisi vele, ngombana awazi ukuthi bazakuthini ngemva kokuthi ubatjhumayezile. Kungaba budisi khulu nakufuze batjhumayeze abantu abanengi ngesikhathi sinye, kungaba ngcono nawukhuluma nomuntu munye. Alo yini engakusiza?

¹⁵ Kokuthoma, akhuzibuze ukuthi uyaqiniseka na ngeenkolelo zakho. Kghani ama-study guide afumaneka ku-jw.org lawa ayafumaneka ngelimi lakho? Nakhibe awazi, akhuziphe isikhathi uwahlole. Enzelwe ukusiza  wena bona ucabangisise ngeenkolelo zakho, ukuthi kubayini uzikholelwa nokuthi ungabahlathululela njani abanye abantu ngazo. Nase uqiniseka ngeenkolelo zakho begodu sele ukulungele nokuzihlathulula, uzozizwa ubaseleka bona ufakaze ngebizo lakaJehova.—Jor. 20:8, 9.

16. Yini enye engakusiza uhlule ukusaba ukhulume ngeenkolelo zakho?

¹⁶ Ngitjho nanyana sewukulungele kuhle, ungaba nevalo nakufuze uhlathululele abantu ngeenkolelo zakho. Omunye udade oneminyaka eli-18 owabhajadiswa nakaneminyaka eli-13 uyakuvuma naye lokho uthi: “Ngikwazi kuhle nje engikukholelwakho, kodwana umraro uba nakufuze ngihlathulule ngamagamami.” Alo uthi uqalana njani nomraro lo? Uthi: “Ngivele ngitjhaphuluke ngikhulume sakudlala. Abantu engifunda nabo ababi nevalo nabakhuluma ngezinto abazenzeko. Nami kufuze ngitjhaphuluke nje. Yeke nangicoca nabo, ngivele ngikhulume into ehlobana nokukholwa kwami, njengokuthi ‘ngelinye ilanga bengifundisa ngeBhayibheli . . . bese ngirage nalokho ebengifuna ukukutjho. Ngitjho nanyana bengingakhulumi ngeBhayibheli, kodwana ngase ngathinta yeBhayibheli abanye bayadoseleka bafune ukwazi ukuthi alo ngifundisani ngeBhayibheli. Ngasikhathi babe babuze nemibuzo ngalo iBhayibheli. Indlelami le kwamambala ingenzela izinto zibe lula. Begodu qobe ngemva kokukhuluma nabo ngizizwa ngithabe khulu!”

17. Yini enye engakusiza bona ukhulume kuhle nabantu?

¹⁷ Bahloniphe abantu begodu ube nendaba nabo, ngombana lokho kungabenza bona bakuphendule kuhle nawukhuluma nabo ngeenkolelo zakho. U-Olivia oneminyaka eli-17 wabhajadiswa angakabi mumuntu omutjha, uthi: “Bengihlala nginevalo, ngithi nange ngingathoma ngiphathe yeBhayibheli, abantu bazangithatha njengomuntu okholwe khulu.” Kodwana ngokukhamba kwesikhathi wathoma waqala izinto ngenye indlela. Kunokuthi asolo abulawa livalo, uthi: “Inengi labantu abatjha alazi litho ngaboFakazi bakaJehova. Kodwana ngithi kwaphela esingahlathulula aboFakazi. Yeke indlela esenza ngayo izinto, izokuba nomthelela omkhulu ekutheni bazokuthini nasibatjhumayezako. Alo ithiwani-ke nange sineenhloni, sinevalo lokukhuluma ngeenkolelo zethu? Lokho kungenza abantu bacabange ukuthi asizikhakhazisi ngalokho esingikho. Bangabe bangawamukeli nomlayezwethu ngebanga lokuzinyaza. Kodwana nasitjhaphulukako besitjengise nokuthi siyaqiniseka ngalokho esikhuluma ngakho, bangasihlonipha.”

18. Kubandakanyani ukwenza isindiswethu iphumelele?

¹⁸ Njengombana sifundile, nasizakwenza isindiswethu iphumelele akusimdlalo. Kubandakanya ukufunda iliZwi lakaZimu nokuzindla ngalo, ukuthandaza nokucabanga ngezinto uJehova asibusise ngazo. Ukwenza izintwezi zoke nje kuzokwenza uqiniseke bona nangembala uJehova umnganakho. Lokho kuzokwenza ufune ukukhuluma nabanye abantu ngeenkolelo zakho.—Funda iRhubo 73:28.

19. Kubayini kufanele sisebenze ngamandla ekwenzeni isindiswethu iphumelele?

¹⁹ UJesu wathi: ‘Nanyana ngubani ofuna ukungilandela, akazidele, atjathe isiphambano sakhe angilandele.’ (Mat. 16:24) Umuntu nakazakuba mlandeli kaJesu kufuze azinikele kuJehova bese abhajadiswe. Ukwenza njalo kuletha iimbusiso ezinengi khulu nje, bese kuthi esikhathini esizako kulethe ukuphila okungapheliko ephasini elitjha lakaZimu. Yeke yenza koke okwenza bona isindiswakho iphumelele!
