IBhayibhile ibonisa ukuba iingelosi ziye zabakhusela abanye abakhonzi bakaThixo ukuze benze ukuthanda kwakhe. (INdumiso 34:7) Ngokomzekelo:

• Xa uYehova wayetshabalalisa iSodom neGomora, iingelosi zanceda uLote nentsapho yakhe baphuma apho.​—Genesis 19:1, 15-26.

• KwiBhabhiloni yakudala xa amaHebhere amathathu afakwa ezikweni lomlilo, uThixo ‘wathumela ingelosi yakhe yaza yabahlangula abakhonzi bakhe.’​—Daniyeli 3:19-28.

• Xa uDaniyeli wahlala ubusuku bonke emngxunyeni oneengonyama, waxela ukuba usinde ngenxa yokuba ‘uThixo uthumele ingelosi yakhe, yayivala imilomo yeengonyama.’​—Daniyeli 6:16, 22.

Ngamaxesha athile, iingelosi zazingenelela kwimisebenzi yamaKristu okuqala xa kufuneka njalo ukuze kuphunyezwe injongo kaThixo. Ngokomzekelo:

• Ingelosi yavula iingcango zentolongo yaza yalathisa abapostile ababevalelwe apho ukuze baqhubeke nomsebenzi wokushumayela etempileni.​—IZenzo 5:17-21.

• Ingelosi yayalela uFilipu ongumvangeli ukuba aye kwindlela eyinkqantosi esuka eYerusalem isiya eGaza ukuze ashumayele kumTiyopiya owayevela kunqula eYerusalem.​—IZenzo 8:26-33.

• Ukufika kwexesha likaThixo lokuba abantu abangengawo amaYuda babe ngamaKristu, kwavela ingelosi embonweneni yaza yayalela igosa lomkhosi elingumRoma, uKorneli, ukuba libizele umpostile uPetros endlini yalo.​—IZenzo 10:3-5.

• Xa umpostile uPetros wayebanjiwe, kwabonakala ingelosi kuye yaza yamkhulula.​—IZenzo 12:1-11

Abukho ubungqina obubonisa ukuba namhlanje uThixo usebenzisa iingelosi ukunceda abantu ngeendlela ezingummangaliso ezichazwe eBhayibhileni. Sekunjalo, xa wayethetha ngexesha lethu, uYesu wathi: “Ezi ndaba zilungileyo zobukumkani ziya kushunyayelwa kuwo wonke umhlaba omiweyo kube bubungqina kuzo zonke iintlanga; kwandule ke kufike ukuphela.” (Mateyu 24:14) Ngaba ubusazi ukuba abafundi bakaKristu benza lo msebenzi phantsi kolwalathiso lweengelosi?

Incwadi yeSityhilelo ichaza iingelosi njengezikhutheleyo ekuncedeni abantu emhlabeni ukuba bafunde ngoYehova uThixo nangenjongo yakhe ngabantu. Umpostile uYohane wabhala wathi: “Ndabona enye ingelosi iphaphazela esazulwini sezulu, ineendaba ezilungileyo ezingunaphakade ukuba izivakalise njengesigidimi esichulumancisayo kwabo bahleli emhlabeni, nakuzo zonke iintlanga nezizwe neelwimi nabantu, isithi ngelizwi elikhulu: ‘Moyikeni uThixo nimzukise, kuba lifikile ilixa lokugweba kwakhe, ngoko mnquleni Lowo wenza izulu nomhlaba nolwandle nemithombo yamanzi.’” (ISityhilelo 14:6, 7) Izinto ezenzekayo namhlanje zibubungqina bokuba iingelosi ziyawuxhasa umsebenzi wokushumayela ngoBukumkani owenziwa ehlabathini lonke. Yinyaniso kona ukuba xa kuguquka umoni omnye aze abuyele kuYehova, “kubakho uvuyo phakathi kweengelosi zikaThixo.”​—Luka 15:10.

Kuza kwenzeka ntoni xa umsebenzi wokushumayela ugqityiwe? Iingelosi ‘ezingumkhosi wasezulwini’ ziza kuncedisa uYesu Kristu, uKumkani wookumkani, ekulweni “kwimfazwe yemini enkulu kaThixo uSomandla” eArmagedon. (ISityhilelo 16:14-16; 19:14-16) Iingelosi ziza kusetyenziswa ukuze zizise umgwebo kaThixo njengoko iNkosi uYesu iza kube ‘ibaphindezela abo bangazithobeliyo iindaba ezilungileyo ezingeNkosi yethu uYesu.’​—2 Tesalonika 1:7, 8.

Qiniseka ukuba iingelosi zinomdla kuwe. Zibakhathalele kakhulu abo bafuna ukukhonza uThixo, ibe uYehova uzisebenzise kaninzi ukomeleza nokukhusela abakhonzi bakhe abanyanisekileyo abasemhlabeni.​—Hebhere 1:14.

Sonke sinesigqibo esibalulekileyo ekufuneka sisenze. Ngaba siza kuzimamela size sizithobele iindaba ezilungileyo ezishunyayelwa emhlabeni wonke? AmaNgqina KaYehova akwindawo ohlala kuyo aya kukuvuyela ukukunceda uzuze kuthando lweengelosi zikaThixo ezinamandla.
