14 Chero panguva ipi zvayo, panenge pachitova nedzimwe hama dzedu dzinenge dzichitambudzwa. Somuenzaniso, muArmenia, hama dzinenge 40 dziri mujeri pamusana pokusatsigira zvematongerwo enyika, uye vamwe vakawanda vangangoiswa mujeri mumwedzi iri mberi. MuEritrea, vashumiri vaJehovha 55 vari mujeri, vamwe vacho vane makore okuberekwa anopfuura 60. MuSouth Korea, Zvapupu zvinenge 700 zviri mujeri pamusana pokutenda kwazvo.

Hanzvadzi yacho yakatsanangura kuti yaifanira kutenga tikiti kunyange zvazvo yaienda pedyo. Pashure paizvozvo mumwe wayo akaburuka. Mutyairi webhazi akabva acheuka ndokubvunza hanzvadzi yacho kuti, “Muri mumwe weZvapupu zvaJehovha here?” Hanzvadzi yacho yakati “Hungu, nei mabvunza?” “Ndanzwa muchikurukura nezvekutenga tikiti rebhazi, uye ndinoziva kuti Zvapupu zvaJehovha vari pakati pevashoma vanoita izvozvo uye vakatendeseka pane zvose zvavanoita.” Papera mwedzi mishoma, mumwe murume akaenda kuhanzvadzi yacho pamisangano ndokuti, “Mandiziva here? Ndini mutyairi webhazi akataura nemi nezvekutenga tikiti. Pandakaona zvamakaita, ndakafunga zvokudzidza Bhaibheri neZvapupu zvaJehovha.” Mukurumbira wedu wokuva vakatendeseka unoita kuti vamwe vazive kuti tiri vashumiri vakavimbika.

Piyona wacho akati, “Zvine ngozi kuti muite izvozvo muri moga.” Akabva achinja girobhu racho ndokuenda zvake. Mwanakomana wechirikadzi yacho paakaziva zvainge zvaitika, akabayiwa mwoyo zvokuti akaedza kutsvaga hama yacho kuti aitende. Nokufamba kwenguva, mwanakomana wacho akabvuma kudzidza Bhaibheri.
18 Nei wakatsunga kuramba uchiita mabasa akanaka? Pamwe imhaka yokuti unoziva kuti patinoshingaira muushumiri uye patinoita zvinhu zvinoenderana nokuda kwaMwari, tinokudza Jehovha uye tingabatsira vamwe kuti vapone. (Verenga 1 VaKorinde 10:31-33.) Kushingairira mabasa akanaka pakuparidza mashoko akanaka uye pakuva nemufambiro unokudza Mwari kunobva pachido chokuratidza kuda kwatinoita Mwari nevanhu. (Mat. 22:37-39) Kana tichishingairira mabasa akanaka, tichawana mufaro usingatauriki uye tichagutsikana iye zvino. Uyewo mune ramangwana tichafara kuona vanhu vose vachishingairira kunamata kwechokwadi vachikudza Musiki wedu, Jehovha.
