(VaEfeso 3:8-13) Chinangwa ichocho chakanga chichienderera mberi apo muapostora Johani akatenderwa kudongorera nepasuo rezvakaratidzwa rakazaruka mudenga. Akanzwa inzwi rakaita sehwamanda richiti: “Kwira kuno, uye ndichakuratidza zvinhu zvinofanira kuitika.” (Zvakazarurwa 4:1) Paakanga adzingirwa kuchitsuwa chePatimosi nehurumende yeRoma “nemhaka yokutaura pamusoro paMwari nokupupurira Jesu,” Johani akagamuchira “zvakazarurwa naJesu Kristu.” Zvakaonekwa nokunzwiwa nomuapostora wacho zvakaratidza zvakawanda pamusoro pokuda kwaMwari kusingagumi, zvichiita kuti vaKristu vose vechokwadi vajekerwe mumudzimu uye vakurudzirwe panguva yakakodzera.—Zvakazarurwa 1:1, 9, 10.

Vanokurudzirwa kurumbidza Jehovha nemhaka yemabasa ake ane chokuita nezvakasikwa. Isuwo tinoshamiswa nouchapupu hwe“simba rake risingagumi nokuva Mwari” kwaJehovha.

Ndinzwirei tsitsi, Jehovha; tarirai kumanikidzwa kwangu navanondivenga, imi munondisimudza pamisuo yorufu; kuti ndiparidze kurumbidzwa kwenyu kwose; pamisuo yomukunda weZi[y]oni.” (Pisarema 9:11, 13, 14) Apa mwanakomana wake Soromoni purani yemavakirwe etemberi, Dhavhidhi akaropafadza nokurumbidza Mwari, achiti: “Ukuru ndohwenyu, Jehovha, nesimba, nokubwinya, nokukunda, noumambo . . .

10, 11. Kuvapo kwedu chaiko kunotipa sei chikonzero chokurumbidza Mwari?
10 Kuvapo kwedu chaiko kunotipa chikonzero chakarurama chokurumbidza Jah. Dhavhidhi akaimba kuti: “Ndichakuongai [Jehovha]; nokuti ndakaitwa nomutoo unotyisa unoshamisa; mabasa enyu anoshamisa; mweya wangu unozviziva kwazvo.” (Pisarema 139:14) Hungu, ‘takaitwa nomutoo unoshamisa’ uye tine zvipo zvinokosha zvikuru zvakadai sokuona, kunzwa, uye mano okufunga. Naizvozvo, hatifaniri kurarama upenyu hwedu munzira inoita kuti tirumbidze munhu Akatiita here? Ndizvo zvakataurwa naPauro paakanyora kuti: “Mungave muri kudya kana kunwa kana kuita chimwe chinhu, itai zvinhu zvose kuti Mwari apiwe mbiri.”—1 VaKorinde 10:31.
11 Tichaita zvinhu zvose kuti Jehovha apiwe mbiri kana tichimuda zvechokwadi. Jesu akati murayiro wokutanga ndouyu: “Unofanira kuda Jehovha Mwari wako nemwoyo wako wose nemweya wako wose nepfungwa dzako dzose uye nesimba rako rose.” (Mako 12:30; Dheuteronomio 6:5) Tinotofanira kuda Jehovha ndokumurumbidza somunhu Akatiita uye Anotipa “chipo chiri chose chakanaka uye chipiwa chiri chose chakakwana.” (Jakobho 1:17; Isaya 51:13; Mabasa 17:28) Zvine musoro kuti tidaro nokuti kufunga kwatinoita, zvatinokwanisa kuita mumudzimu, uye simba redu—unhu hwedu hwose nemano—zvinobva kuna Jehovha. Zvaari Musiki wedu, anofanira kudiwa nokurumbidzwa nesu.

12 Mabasa makuru aJehovha anotipa zvikonzero zvisingaverengeki zvokumuda nokumurumbidza! Dhavhidhi akaimba kuti “Jehovha Mwari wangu, mabasa enyu, anoshamisa, amakaita, mazhinji, nemifungo yenyu kwatiri; hapana ungaenzaniswa nemi. Kana ndikada kuzvidudzira nokuzvireva, hazvingaverengwi nokuwanda kwazvo.” (Pisarema 40:5) Dhavhidhi akanga asingagoni kuverenga mabasa ose aJehovha anoshamisa, uye nesuwo hatigoni. Asi nguva dzose ngatirumbidze Jehovha patinoziva mabasa api neapi aanoita.
Mabasa ane Chokuita Nokuda kwaMwari Kusingagumi

13 Tariro yedu yakabatanidzwa zvikuru nemabasa makuru uye anofanira kurumbidzwa ane chokuita nokuda kwaMwari kusingagumi. Pashure pokupandukira kwakaitika muEdheni, Jehovha akapa uprofita hwokutanga hwakanga huzere netariro. Achitonga nyoka, Mwari akati: “Ndichaisa ruvengo pakati pako nomukadzi, Genesi 3:15) Tariro muMbeu yomukadzi yakapikirwa yakaramba iri mumwoyo yevanhu vakatendeka pashure pokuita kwaJehovha basa rinoshamisa nokuchengeta Noa nemhuri yake muMafashamo enyika yose akatsvaira nyika yakanga yakaipa. (2 Petro 2:5) Zvipikirwa zvouprofita zvakaitwa kuvarume vokutenda vakadai saAbrahamu naDhavhidhi zvakawedzera kunzwisiswa kwezvaizoitwa naJehovha achishandisa Mbeu iyoyo.—Genesi 22:15-18; 2 Samueri 7:12.

14 Kuratidzwa kwakakura kwaJehovha kuti ndiye anoitira vanhu vake mabasa makuru kwakaitika paakapa Mwanakomana wake akaberekwa ari mumwe oga—Mbeu yakapikirwa, Jesu Kristu—sechibayiro chorudzikinuro. (Johani 3:16; Mabasa 2:29-36) Rudzikinuro rwakapa hwaro hwokuyananiswazve naMwari. (Mateu 20:28; VaRoma 5:11) Jehovha akaunganidza vakatanga kuyananiswa muungano yechiKristu, yakatanga paPendekosti ya33 C.E. Vachibatsirwa nomudzimu mutsvene, vakaparidza mashoko akanaka kwose kwose. Vakaratidza kuti kufa nokumutswa kwaJesu kunozarura sei nzira yokuti vanhu vanoteerera vawane zvikomborero zvisingaperi mukutonga kwoUmambo hwaMwari hwokudenga.
15. Jehovha akashanda sei nenzira inoshamisa muzuva redu?
15 Muzuva redu, Jehovha akashanda nenzira inoshamisa kuti aunganidze vaKristu vakazodzwa vokupedzisira. Mhepo dzokuparadza dzakabatwa kubvumira kuiswa chisimbiso kwevasara ve144 000, vachatonga naKristu mudenga. (Zvakazarurwa 7:1-4; 20:6) Mwari akaita kuti vaKristu vakazodzwa vabudiswe muusungwa hwomudzimu mu“Bhabhironi Guru,” umambo hwomunyika yose hwechitendero chenhema. (Zvakazarurwa 17:1-5) Kununurwa ikoko kwakaitwa muna 1919 uye kudzivirirwa naMwari kwavakaitwa kubvira ipapo kwakabvumira vakazodzwa vasara kuita sei? Kupenya mukupa uchapupu hwokupedzisira Jehovha asati agumisa nyika yakaipa yaSatani mu“kutambudzika kukuru” kwava kuda kutoitika.—Mateu 24:21; Dhanieri 12:3; Zvakazarurwa 7:14.
16. Chii chiri kuitika somugumisiro webasa romunyika yose rokuparidza Umambo riri kuitwa nhasi?
16 Zvapupu zvaJehovha zvakazodzwa zvave zvichitungamirira nokushingaira basa romunyika yose rokuparidza Umambo. Somugumisiro, “mamwe makwai” ari kuwedzera ava kuva vanamati vaJehovha. (Johani 10:16) Tinofara kuti mukana wokuti vanyoro venyika vabatane nesu mukurumbidza Jehovha uchiripo. Vaya vanobvuma kukokwa kuti “uya” vachadzivirirwa mukutambudzika kukuru, vaine tarisiro yokurumbidza Jehovha nokusingaperi.—Zvakazarurwa 22:17.
Zviuru Zviri Kuenda Kukunamata Kwechokwadi
17. (a) Jehovha ari kuita sei mabasa makuru ane chokuita nebasa redu rokuparidza? (b) Zekaria 8:23 iri kuzadzika sei?
17 Jehovha ava kuita mabasa makuru uye anofanira kurumbidzwa ane chokuita nebasa redu rokuparidza. (Mako 13:10) Mumakore achangopfuura, aka‘zarura misuo mihombe yebasa.’ (1 VaKorinde 16:9) Izvi zvakaita kuti mashoko akanaka aparidzwe mundima dzakakura maimborambidzwa nevavengi vechokwadi. Vakawanda vairarama murima romudzimu vava kubvuma kukokwa kunonamata Jehovha. Vari kuzadzika mashoko aya ouprofita anoti: “Zvanzi naJehovha wehondo: Namazuva iwayo varume vane gumi pandimi dzose dzendudzi dzavanhu vachabata nguo yomunhu uri muJudha, vachiti: Tichaenda nemi, nokuti takanzwa kuti Mwari unemi.” (Zekaria 8:23) Vari kunzi “tichaenda nemi” apa vaJudha vomudzimu, vaKristu vakazodzwa vasara varipo mazuva ano. Sezvo gumi ichimirira kukwana kwepasi pano, “varume vane gumi” vanomiririra “boka guru revanhu” rakasanganiswa na“Israeri waMwari,” warinoumba naye “boka rimwe.” (Zvakazarurwa 7:9, 10; VaGaratiya 6:16) Zvinofadza kwazvo kuona vakawanda zvakadai vava kuita pamwe chete basa dzvene sevanamati vaJehovha Mwari!
18, 19. Uchapupu hupi huripo hwokuti Jehovha ari kukomborera basa rokuparidza?

Tarira Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses yegore rino, uye cherechedza nyika dzava kushuma vaparidzi voUmambo vanobvira pa100 000 kusvika pedyo ne1 000 000. Uhwu uchapupu hune simba hwokuti basa rokuparidza Umambo riri kukomborerwa naJehovha.—Zvirevo 10:22.
19 Sevanhu vaJehovha, tinorumbidza nokuonga Baba vedu vokudenga nokutipa kwavakaita chinangwa chaicho muupenyu, basa rinopa mubayiro muushumiri hwake, uye tarisiro yakajeka yenguva yemberi. Tinorarama tichitarisira zvikuru kuzadzika kwezvipikirwa zvaMwari uye takatsunga ‘kuzvichengeta tiri murudo rwaMwari, tichirangarira upenyu husingaperi.’ (Judha 20, 21) Tinofara kwazvo kuona kuti boka guru revanhu vanorumbidza Mwari rasvika vanenge 6 000 000! Nechikomborero chaJehovha chiri pachena, vakazodzwa vasara pamwe chete neshamwari dzavo dzemamwe makwai vakarongwa muungano dzinenge 91 000 munyika 235. Tose zvedu tinopiwa zvokudya zvakanaka zvomudzimu no“muranda akatendeka, akangwara” ari kushanda nokushingaira. (Mateu 24:45) Sangano raMwari rinofambira mberi riri kushandisa hofisi dzemapazi 110 dzeZvapupu zvaJehovha kutarisira basa roUmambo nenzira yorudo. Tinoonga kuti Jehovha akaita kuti vanhu vake ‘vamukudze nezvavanazvo.’ (Zvirevo 3:9, 10) Saka, basa redu rokuparidza munyika yose rinoenderera mberi, zvapari kuvakwa nzvimbo dzokudhindira, misha yeBheteri neyemamishinari, Horo dzoUmambo, uye Horo Dzemagungano maererano nokudiwa kwazviri kuitwa.
20. Tinofanira kunzwa sei nokufunga mabasa makuru uye anofanira kurumbidzwa aJehovha?
20 Hatigoni kutaura mabasa ose makuru uye anofanira kurumbidzwa aBaba vedu vokudenga. Asi munhu ane mwoyo wakarurama angarega kubatana neboka rakakura revarumbidzi vaJehovha here? Haangamboregi!

Murumbidzei imi vatumwa vake vose . . . ,majaya nemhandara; vatana navana; ngavarumbidze zita raJehovha; nokuti zita rake roga rakakurumbira; Umambo hwake huri kumusoro kwapasi nokudenga.” (Pisarema 148:1, 2, 12, 13) Hungu, iye zvino uye nokusingaperi, ngatirumbidze Jehovha nokuda kwemabasa ake makuru!
