Kunaloko, kufanele utakhele buhlobo bakho naJehova kute usindziswe, ngisho noma usahlala nebatali bakho. Kungani kubalulekile kutsi uhlale ukukhumbula loku? Kungobe angeke wati kutsi yini lotawubhekana nayo esikhatsini lesitako. Nasi sibonelo, nangabe wabhajatiswa usengakefiki eminyakeni yekutfomba, kungenteka ubhekane nekucindzeteleka kanye nekushintja kwendlela lotiva ngayo njengobe sewuseminyekeni yekutfomba. Lenye intfombatane leseminyakeni yekutfomba itsi: “Umntfwana lomncane ngeke eve buhlungu ngenca yekutsi akalitfoli likhekhe esikolweni ngesizatfu sekutsi ungulomunye waBoFakazi BaJehova. Kodvwa ngemuva kweminyaka lemibalwa kucindzetelwa kutsi aye ecasini kungaba nemandla, ngako kudzingeka aciniseke kutsi kulalela imitsetfo yaJehova kusincumo lesihle.”

9 Inhlangano yaJehova yente emathuluzi lamanyenti langakusita kutsi ube neluhlelo lwekudadisha loluphumelelako. Nasi sibonelo, sihloko lesitsi “Ukufunda Izindaba ZeBhayibheli” lesitfolakala ngephasi kwencenye letsi “Intsha” ku-jw.org, singakusita utfole tifundvo longatisebentisa letisetindzabeni teliBhayibheli. Ngetulu kwaloko, ku-jw. org kuphinze kube nemathuluzi ekudadisha encwadzi letsi “Lifundzisani Mbambambamba LiBhayibheli?” Lamathuluzi ekudadisha angakusita kutsi uciniseke ngetintfo lotikholelwako futsi ukhone kutichazela labanye.

UMTHANTAZO UBALULEKILE
10. Kungani umthantazo ubalulekile kumKhristu lobhajatisiwe?
10 Njengoba kudadisha liBhayibheli kungulenye yetindlela lesilalela ngato Jehova, umthantazo uyindlela yekukhuluma naye. UmKhristu akukafaneli acabange kutsi umthantazo uyintfo lengakabaluleki noma uyintfo lesinika inhlanhla kuze sikhone kuphumelela etintfweni lesitentako. Kunaloko, Filiphi 4:6.) Nangabe uhlangabetana nanoma nguluphi luhlobo lwekukhatsateka, liBhayibheli likukhutsata kutsi ‘ulahlele imitfwalo yakho kuSimakadze.’ (Hla. 55:22) Ukwetsemba mbamba yini loko?

Kufanele sihlale simbonga ngetipho lasipha tona.” Abigail uhlale atibuta kutsi: “Nangingavuka ekuseni nginaletintfo lengitibonge kuJehova kuphela, tingakhi tintfo lebengingaba nato?” *
KUBALULEKA KWALOKWENTEKE EKUPHILENI KWAKHO
12, 13. Kubaluleke ngani kutsi ucabange ngendlela lobubone ngayo buhle baJehova?

Ubusisiwe lowo lokhosela kuye!” (Hla. 34:8) Lamavi agcizelela kubaluleka kwekutibonela buhle baJehova. Nawufundza liBhayibheli kanye netincwadzi letisekelwe kulo uphindze uye nasemihlanganweni yebuKhristu, uyakhutsateka nawubona indlela Nkulunkulu lasite ngayo labanye kutsi bahlale betsembekile. Njengobe buhlobo bakho naNkulunkulu bukhula, kudzingeka ubone kutsi Jehova ukusita njani ekuphileni kwakho. Wena ububone njani buhle baJehova ekuphileni kwakho?

Umuntfu lomusha angahle atsi, ‘Jehova wadvonsa batali bami, mine ngalandzela bona.’ Kodvwa ngesikhatsi utinikela kuJehova futsi ubhajatiswa, wakhombisa kutsi sewunebuhlobo lobuhle naye. Ecinisweni nyalo sewatiwa nguye. LiBhayibheli lisicinisekisa kutsi: “Nangabe umuntfu atsandza Nkulunkulu, yena watiwa nguNkulunkulu.” (1 Khor. 8:3) Ngaso sonkhe sikhatsi kufanele ukutsatse njengalokuligugu kuba senhlanganweni yaJehova.

Kungaba lukhuni kakhulu kucoca nelicembu lebantfu kunekucoca nemuntfu munye. Yini lengakusita?
15 Kwekucala, cabanga ngekutsi yini lekwenta uciniseke ngaloko lokukholelwako. Emathuluzi ekudadisha laku-jw.org ayatfolakala Jer. 20:8, 9.

16 Noma kunjalo, ungakutfola kumatima kukhuluma ngaloko lokukholelwako ngisho noma ulungiselele kahle. Lomunye dzadze loneminyaka lengu-18, lowabhajatiswa nakaneminyaka lengu-13 utsi: “Ngiyakwati loko lengikukholelwako, kepha ngaletinye tikhatsi kumatima kuchazela lomunye ngako.” Yini lemsita kutsi akhone kukhuluma ngaloko lakukholelwako? Utsi: “Ngetama kukhululeka. Bantfwana lengifundza nabo bativa bakhululekile ngekucoca ngetintfo labatentako, nami kufanele ngente lokufanako. Ngako ngivamise kucala ngekutsi, ‘Itolo ngesikhatsi ngifundzisa lomunye liBhayibheli . . . ’ Ngemuva kwaloko bese ngichubeka ngendzaba yami. Ngisho noma ngingakhulumi ngeliBhayibheli, labanye bese bafisa kwati kutsi ngenta njani nangifundzisa labanye. Ngaletinye tikhatsi baze babute nemibuto. Kuba melula kukhuluma ngeliBhayibheli nangabe ngihlale ngikwenta. Ngemuva kwaloko ngivame kutiva ngijabule kakhulu.”
17. Kuba nembono lokahle ngaloko lokukholelwako kungakusita njani kutsi ukhone kukucocela labanye?
17 Manyenti ematfuba ekutsi labanye bakulalele nangabe ubahlonipha futsi ukhombisa kutsi unendzaba nabo. Olivia loneminyaka lengu-17 futsi lowabhajatiswa angakefiki eminyakeni yekutfomba utsi: “Bengihlale ngesaba kutsi nangicoca nalabanye ngeliBhayibheli batawutsi ngikholwa kakhulu.” Kodvwa ngekuhamba kwesikhatsi wabese ucabanga ngendlela leyehlukile. Esikhundleni sekutsi avumele kwesaba kumehlule, Olivia watsi: “Bantfu labasha labanyenti kute labakwatiko ngaBoFakazi BaJehova. Ngitsi kuphela BoFakazi BaJehova lababatiko. Ngako indlela lesenta ngayo ngiyo letawuncuma kutsi batawusiphatsa njani.
