Iintsapho zabavangeli ziyadingeka ukuba zime kwiindawo ezimagqagala. Amafama, abancedisi ngemali, abakhi, kwanabo banobuchule kwimiba eyahlukeneyo yokwenza izinto ezenziwa ngezandla, mabaye bamise amashishini, bazilungisele amakhaya athobekileyo, bancede abamelwane babo.UL 144.1

Iindawo ezimagqagala zendalo, amaphandle angasetyenzwanga, uThixo uzenze zanomtsalane ngokubeka izinto ezintle phakathi kwezona zingajongekiyo. Ngumsebenzi lo esibizelwe ukuba siwenze. Kanti neendawo eziyintlango zasemhlabeni, apho inkangeleko ibonakala ingavumi, zinako ukuba sisitiya sikaThixo.UL 144.2

“Kuya kuthi ngaloo mini izithulu ziweve amazwi encwadi,
Amehlo eemfama abobe esithokothokweni nasemnyameni.
Abalulamileyo baya kukwandisa ukuvuya ngoYehova,
NgOyingcwele kaIsrayeli.”UL 144.3

Ngokubafundisa kwimiba ephathekayo, singakholisa ukuba nako ukubanceda abahluphekileyo ngeyona ndlela eyiyo. Ngokomthetho, abo bangaqeqeshelwanga ukusebenza abanayo imikhwa yokufuna ukusebenza, ukuzingisa, uqoqosho, nokuzilandula. Abakwazi ukulawula. Kukholisa ukuthi, ngokuswela ukulumka nokubona kakuhle, kubekho ukuchithwa koko bekunokuzixhasa iintsapho zisesidimeni nasekonwabeni ukuba bekusetyenziswe ngononophelo nangokuqoqoshwa. “Umkhubelo wamahlwempu unokudla okuninzi; kukho ophetshethwa kukungabi nabulungisa.” IMizekeliso 13:23.UL 144.4

Singabapha abo bangamahlwempu, sibonakalise, ngokubafundisa ukuxhomekeka. Ukupha okunjalo kukhuthaza ukubawa nokungabi nako ukuzinceda. Kukholisa ukukhokelela ekunqeneni, kuthsafazo, nokungabi nabungcathu. Akakho umntu onako ukuyisebenzela eyakhe impiliso onelugelo lokuxhomekeka kwabanye. Intetho ethi “Ilizwe linetyala kum lokundiphilisa” inento ebubuxoki, ukuqhatha, nohlutha kakubi. Ihlabathi alibambi mntu impiliso onako ukusebenza azizuzele impiliso yakhe.UL 144.5

Ububele benene bunceda abantu ukuba bazincede. Ukuba ubani ufika emnyangweni wethu ecela ukutha, akufuneki simndulule elambile; ukuhlupheka kwakhe kusenokuba kusisiphumo selishwa. Noko kunjalo, ububele benene buthetha okungaphezulu kwezipho nje. Buthetha umdla woqobo kwintlalo entle yabanye. Kufuneka sizame ukuziqonda iintswelo zabahluphekileyo nabaxinzelelekileyo, size sibanike uncedo oluya kubalulutho kakhulu kubo. Ukucinga kakhulu nokuthabatha ixesha kwakunye nokuzama ukwenza kuxabisa kakhulu kunokukhupha nje imali. Kanti ke kunjalo, bobona bubele buyinene obo.UL 145.1

Abo bafundiswe ukuba bakusebenzele oko bakufumanayo baya kukhawuleza ukufunda ukwenza okukhulu ngako. Kanti ke, ekufundeni ukuzixhasa, bazuza oko kungayikwanela ukubenza bakwazi ukuzixhasa, kodwa bakwazi ukunceda nabanye. Mabafundise ukubaluleka kwemithwalo yobomi kwabo badlalisa ngamathuba wabo. Mababoniswe ukuba inkolo yeBhayibhile ayize ibenze abantu babe ngoondilele. UKristu wayesoloko ekhuthaza ukusebenza. “Yini na ukuba nime apha imini iphela ningasebenzi?” watsho kumavila. “Ndimelwe kukuyisebenza . . . kusesemini.” Mateyu 20:6; Yohane 9:4. UL 145.2

Lilungelo lomntu wonke ukunika ihlabathi ngobomi bekhaya labo, ngamasiko abo nezenzo nocwangco, ubungqina bento iindaba ezilungileyo ezinokuyenzela abo bazithobelayo. UKristu weza kulo mhlaba wethu ukuba asinike umzekelo wento esinokuba yiyo. Ulindele ukuba abalandeli baKhe babe yimizekelo yokulungileyo kulo lonke ulwalamano lobomi. Ulangazelela ukuba inkcukumiso yezulu ibonwe phezu kwezinto ezibonwa ngaphandle.UL 145.3

Awethu amakhaya nokusijikelezileyo kufuneka kube zizifundo ezibonwayo, afundise iindlela zokuphuhlisa ukuze ukusebenza, ukucoceka, ukuthanda, nokuchubeka kuthabathe indawo yokungenzi nto, ubumdaka, uburhabaxa, nokungabi nalucwangco. Ngobomi bethu nomzekelo wethu, sinako ukubanceda abanye ukuba baziqonde iindawo ezingenakuhlalwa, kuze kuthi, ngembeko yobuKristu, sikhuthaze ukulungisa kube nokuhlaleka. Ngexesha sibonisa umdla kubo, siya kufumana ithuba lokubafundisa indlela yokusebenzisa amandla wabo ngeyona ndlela iyiyo.UL 145.4
