Zazi izinto eziza kuqala. Icebiso leBhayibhile lithi: ‘Qiniseka ngezinto ezibaluleke ngakumbi.’ (Filipi 1:10) Bhala izinto oza kuzenza, izinto ezibalulekileyo okanye ezingxamisekileyo, ukhumbule ukuba izinto ezibonakala zibalulekile, njengokupheka, akuthethi kuthi zingxamisekile. Ibe noko kubonakala kungxamisekile, njengokubukela inkqubo oyithandayo ye-TV, akuthethi kuthi kubalulekile. *

Ceba kwangaphambili. INtshumayeli 10:10 ithi: “Ukuba isixhobo sentsimbi [okanye izembe] siba buthuntu yaye uthile akalulolanga uhlangothi lwaso, ngoko uya kuwabhokoxa amandla akhe. Ngoko ubulumko obusetyenziselwa impumelelo buyingenelo.” Lilonke, lola izembe lakho, nto leyo ethetha ukuba umele ucebe kwangaphambili ukuze ulisebenzise kakuhle ixesha lakho. Izinto ezingenamsebenzi nezinokutya ixesha usenokuziyeka okanye uzenze ngelinye ixesha. Ukuba ufumanisa ukuba unexesha elisashiyekileyo emva komsebenzi obuwenza, lisebenzise kwenye into obuza kuyenza kamva. Xa uceba kwangaphambili, utsho ukwazi ukwenza izinto ezininzi, njengendoda elumkileyo eye yalola izembe layo kwangaphambili.

Phila ubomi obulula. Ziyeke izinto ezingabalulekanga ezinokuchitha ixesha lakho. Ukwenza izinto ezininzi kunokukwenza udinwe uze ungonwabi.

Ukubekel’ amangomso izinto nokungabi nazigqibo. “Olinda umoya akayi kuyihlwayela imbewu; nokhangela amafu akayi kuvuna.” (INtshumayeli 11:4) Lilonke, ukuzibekela amangomso izinto kutya ixesha kwaye kwenza nomsebenzi ungahambeli phambili. Umfama onokulinda ukuba imozulu ide ibe yile nto ayifunayo, unokuphetha engalimanga. Ngokufanayo, iimeko zobomi zinokubangela ukuba sibe ngabantu abangakwaziyo ukwenza izigqibo. Okanye sicinge ukuba simele kuqala sibe nalo lonke ulwazi neenkcukacha ngaphambi kokuba senze into ethile. Kakade ke, xa siza kwenza izigqibo ezibalulekileyo kufuneka senze uphando size sicinge kakuhle ngoko. IMizekeliso 14:15 ithi: “Onobuqili uyawaqwalasela amanyathelo akhe.” Inyaniso yeyokuba, xa sisenza izigqibo kuya kusoloko kukho izinto esingaqinisekanga ngazo.—INtshumayeli 11:6.

Ukusoloko ufuna izinto zihambe kakuhle kuphela. UYakobi 3:17 uthi: ‘Ubulumko obuvela kuThixo bunengqiqo.’ Kakade ke, intle into yokuba nomnqweno wokwenza izinto kakuhle! Kodwa ngamanye amaxesha sisenokuqiniseka kakhulu ngento esiyenzayo size sidane xa ingenzekanga ngendlela ebesifuna ngayo. Ngokomzekelo, xa ufunda olunye ulwimi umele uyilindele into yokuba ungabhuda, ibe unokufunda kwezo mpazamo. Kodwa umntu olindele ukuba izinto zihambe kakuhle ngalo lonke ixesha, unokucaphuka xa ebhuda ibe loo nto inokumenza angade alwazi olo lwimi. Ngoko ke, kufuneka sithozame xa sisenza izinto. IMizekeliso 11:2 ithi: “Bunabathozamileyo ubulumko.” Abantu abathozamileyo behlisa umoya ibe bayazihleka xa bephazama.

Yiba nexesha lokusebenza nelokuzonwabisa. “Kulunge ngakumbi ukuzalisa isandla ngokuphumla kunokuzalisa izandla zozibini ngomsebenzi onzima ngokusukelana nomoya.” (INtshumayeli 4:6) Abantu abasebenza ngokugqith’ emgceni badla ngokungayiboni imiphumo ‘yomsebenzi wabo onzima.’ Abanaxesha yaye basoloko bediniwe. Ukanti amavila wona akhetha ‘ukuzalisa izandla zawo zozibini’ ngokuphumla engenzi nto yaye echitha ixesha elibalulekileyo. IBhayibhile isibongoza ukuba silisebenzise kakuhle ixesha lethu: Sisebenze nzima yaye sikonwabele oko sikusebenzele nzima. Ukonwaba okunjalo ‘kusisipho sikaThixo.’—INtshumayeli 5:19.

Lala ngokwaneleyo. Umbhali weBhayibhile wathi: “Ndiya kungqengqa ndize ndilale ngoxolo.” (INdumiso 4:8) Abantu bamele balale malunga neeyure ezisibhozo ukuze umzimba uhlaziyeke. Ukulala ngokwaneleyo kubalulekile kuba kwenza ingqondo iphaphe, yaye oko kubangela nokuba ixesha ulisebenzise kakuhle. Kanti kona ukungalali ngokwaneleyo kubangela umntu enze iingozi, iimpazamo yaye akhawuleze ukucaphuka.

Ceba izinto onokukwazi ukuziphumeza. ‘Kulunge ngakumbi ukubona ngamehlo kunokusukelana nomoya.’ (INtshumayeli 6:9) Lilonke, umntu osisilumko akasukelani nomoya ngokuthi acebe izinto angenakukwazi ukuziphumeza. Yiloo nto engathatheki lula zizinto ezithengiswayo nokuthenga ngetyala. Kunoko, uyanela koko anokukwazi ukukufikelela—‘oko akubona ngamehlo.’

Kutheni ufanele uzazi? Xa uzazi izinto ezibalulekileyo ulisebenzisa ngokufanelekileyo ixesha lakho. Oko kubangela uzazi izinto eziza kuqala ebomini ibe ixesha akudlali ngalo, kunoko ulisebenzisa kakuhle ntsuku zonke. Ungazazi njani izinto ezibalulekileyo? Abantu abaninzi baye bancedwa bubulumko obuseBhayibhileni.—IMizekeliso 2:6, 7.

Uthando malube yeyona nto ibalulekileyo kuwe. Xa ethetha ngothando, amaKolose 3:14 athi, “lungumxokelelwane ogqibeleleyo womanyano.” Asinakukwazi ukonwaba xa singabathandi abanye, ingakumbi iintsapho zethu. Abo bathanda umsebenzi nobutyebi kunabantu, baye bangonwabi. Yiloo nto iBhayibhile iluchaza uthando njengeyona nto ibalulekileyo, kangangokuba ilukhankanya kaninzi.—1 Korinte 13:1-3; 1 Yohane 4:8.

Yiba nexesha lokufunda ngoThixo. UGeoff wayonwabile nomfazi wakhe, benabantwana ababini abathandekayo, nabahlobo, ibe wayesenza umsebenzi awuthandayo wokuqhuba iambulensi. Kodwa umsebenzi wakhe wawumenza asoloko ebona abantu abasentlungwini okanye abafileyo. Wazibuza lo mbuzo, “Yindlela ebekumele ukuba siphila ngayo le?” Ngenye imini wafunda incwadi ethetha ngeBhayibhile epapashwe ngamaNgqina kaYehova waza waphenduleka umbuzo wakhe.

UGeoff wabalisela intsapho yakhe ngoko akufundileyo, ibe nayo yaba nomdla. Le ntsapho yaqalisa ukufunda iBhayibhile eyathi yayinceda yonwaba ngakumbi yaze yakwazi ukulisebenzisa kakuhle ixesha layo. Kwakhona iBhayibhile iyincede le ntsapho yanethemba lobomi obungunaphakade kwihlabathi elingenakufa nantlungu.—ISityhilelo 21:3, 4.

Ibali likaGeoff lisikhumbuza amazwi kaYesu Kristu athi: “Banoyolo abo bayiphapheleyo intswelo yabo yokomoya.” (Mateyu 5:3) Kutheni ungakhe uchithe ixesha lakho elincinane ukuze ufunde ngoThixo? Ayikho into eyogqitha leyo, kuba iya kukunceda ulisebenzise ngobulumko ixesha lakho ubomi bakho bonke.
