Mbubwenya mbwaakacita Elija, amumwaambile Jehova zyoonse zili kumoyo. (Amubale Intembauzyo 62:8.) Amumwaambile zintu zimupa kulibilika alimwi ambomulimvwa kujatikizya zintu eezyo.

Ncinzi cimwi cakamugwasya mukwesu Mauricio? Wakayungizya kuti: “Ndakatalika kubeleka canguzu mumbungano. Ndakali kulibambila cakulomya akuzuzikizya zibeela zyabasicikolo.

Mu Magwalo, Jehova utusyomezya kuti kunyina cintu naaba masunko cikonzya ‘kutwaandaanya kuluyando lwakwe.’ (Rom. 8:38, 39) Kuyungizya waawo, utusyomezya kuti “ulaafwaafwi abaabo boonse bamwiita” mumupailo.

Bakali kutuswaya, kututumina mafooni alimwi akutukumbata, izintu nzyotwakali kuyandika kapati muciindi eeci. Mbwaanga tiindakacizyi kweenzya mootokala, bakwesu abacizyi bakali kubikkila maano kubona kuti ndilacikonzya kuunka kumiswaangano amubukambausi.” Eelo kaka ncilongezyo kuzulilwa mumukwasyi ooyu waluyando wakumuuya!

Wakatupa cipego cakupaila, Bbaibbele, cakulya cakumuuya cinji alimwi abakwesu abacizyi basiluyando ibalibambilide kutugwasya muziindi zyamapenzi.
