Ungavumeli inhliziyo yakho iphambukele ezindleleni zakhe. Ungahlanhlathi ungene ezindleleni zakhe.—Zaga. 7:25.
Okwenzakala ejaheni leli kungenzakala kuloba yisiphi isikhonzi sikaJehova. Umuntu angenza isono esikhulu abesebona angani isilingo simjumile nje. Omunye njalo angathi, “Ngibone sekwenzakele.” Kodwa nxa angacabangisisa ngokwenzakeleyo angananzelela ukuthi zikhona izinto abezenza ezicine zimenza ukuthi enze isono. Mhlawumbe wayeselabangane abangamthandiyo uJehova, kumbe izinto ayezilibazisa ngazo layezibukela ku-inthanethi kanye lendawo ayejayele ukuya kuzo zazingafanelanga umuntu ongumKhristu. Engxenye wayengasakhuleki, engasalibali iBhayibhili, engasayi emihlanganweni yebandla futhi engasatshumayeli. Njengejaha okukhulunywa ngalo kuZaga, isilingo singabe singamjumanga umuntu lo. Sifundani endabeni le? Akumelanga sibalekele ukwenza isono kuphela kodwa kumele sinanzelele lezinto ezingenza sicine senze isono. USolomoni wakucacisa lokhu ngemva kokulandisa ngendaba yejaha ekuZaga.—Mat. 5:29, 30. w24.07 16 ¶10-11

Silegugu leli embizeni zebumba.—2 Khor. 4:7.
Yiliphi igugu lelo? Ngumsebenzi wokutshumayela ngoMbuso ozenza abantu basindiswe. (2 Khor. 4:1) Imbiza zebumba zona ziyini? Zimela izinceku zikaNkulunkulu ezitshela abanye izindaba ezinhle. Ngesikhathi sikaPhawuli abantu ababethengisa babesebenzisa imbiza zebumba nxa bethwala izinto eziqakathekileyo njengokudla lewayini kanye lemali. Lathi uJehova usinike umsebenzi oqakathekileyo wokutshumayela izindaba ezinhle. Singaba lawo amandla okuqhubeka sitshela abanye izindaba ezinhle ngenxa yokuthi uJehova uyasincedisa. Kwezinye izikhathi singesaba ukuthi abantu bazasiphikisa kumbe ukuthi abasoze basilalele. Kuyini okungasinceda ukuthi singesabi? Cabanga ngokuthi abaphostoli benzani ngesikhathi betshelwa ukuthi bangatshumayeli. Abazange besabe kodwa bathandaza kuJehova becela ukuthi abancedise ukuze baqhubeke bekhuluma ngesibindi esikhulu. UJehova wahle wawuphendula umthandazo wabo. (Imiseb. 4:18, 29, 31) Nxa lawe uyake wesabe abantu, cela uJehova akuncedise ukuthi ubathande kakhulu abantu ukuze ungesabi ukubatshela izindaba ezinhle. w24.04 16 ¶8-9

Baba wethu osezulwini, kalingcweliswe ibizo lakho.—Mat. 6:9.
Ukuthanda uJehova kwenza sifune ukungcwelisa ibizo lakhe. USathane ubelokhu engcolisa ibizo likaNkulunkulu ngokukhuluma amanga ngaye. Yikho sifuna ukuncedisa abantu babone ukuthi izinto ebezikhulunywa nguSathane zingamanga. (Gen. 3:1-5; Jobe. 2:4; Joh. 8:44) Nxa sisiya ekutshumayeleni siyabe sizimisele ukumela uNkulunkulu wethu. Loba ngubani osilalelayo simtshela iqiniso ngaye. Sifisa bonke babekwazi ukuthi ubuntu bakhe obuqakathekileyo luthando, lokuthi ubusa ngendlela eqondileyo futhi wahlulela kuhle. Sifisa babekwazi lokuthi sekuseduze ukuthi uMbuso wakhe uqede konke ukuhlupheka ubusuletha ukuthula lentokozo. (Hubo. 37:10, 11, 29; 1 Joh. 4:8) Nxa sitshela abantu izinto lezi ezimayelana loJehova siyabe singcwelisa ibizo lakhe. Lokho kwenza sithokoze ngoba siyabe sisenza khona kanye okutshiwo libizo lethu elithi oFakazi bakaJehova. w24.05 18 ¶12
