Kungaba kuhle ukuthi nxa seliqedile ukubukela uhlelo lolu lixoxe ngokuthi lizazisebenzisa njani izifundo elizitholileyo. Nxa umzali eqhuba ukukhonza kwemuli kumele akhumbule ukuthi izifundo ezinganceda abantwana emulini ziyatshiyana kusiya ngeminyaka yabo. Ngakho ingxoxo yenu kufanele incede bonke emulini kungelani lokuthi bangakanani.​—Hubo. 148:12, 13.Ukuba lobungane labafowethu labodadewethu asebekhulile kuyaluqinisa ukholo (Khangela indima 11)11-13.

Umuzi wami uyisibonelo esihle yini emphakathini? Ngiyabanceda yini abanye?’ Nxa uxoxa labanye oFakazi babuze ukuthi isibonelo sabo esihle sibancede njani omakhelwane, izihlobo, abasebenza labo loba abafunda labo esikolo.​—Efe. 5:9.15.

UJesu wakhuluma labafundi bakhe kanengi ebakhuthaza ukuthi bahlale belindile.

(Mat. 24:21) Kanti njalo ukukhanya kwethu kuzakwehla kancane kancane kuze kucine kucitsha.16, 17.

Asithandabuzi ukuthi uJehova uzathatha inyathelo ngesikhathi esifaneleyo. (Mat. 24:42-44) Okwakhathesi kumele sibekezele njalo siqhubeke silindile. Kufanele sibale iBhayibhili nsuku zonke njalo singayekeli ukuthandaza zikhathi zonke. (1 Phet. 4:7) Okunye esingakwenza yikulingisela izibonelo zabafowethu labodadewethu asebeleminyaka eminengi belindile futhi besenza ukukhanya kwabo kukhanye.

Kodwa lamuhla senza umsebenzi omkhulu okumangalisayo njalo siyakubona ukuthi uJehova nguye osiqondisayo. Umsebenzi kaJehova usukhule ngendlela esasingayicabangeli njalo ukukhanya kwethu sekukhanya ngendlela enkulu.Umsebenzi wokwalusa owenziwa ngabadala wenza sithole inhlakanipho eseLizwini likaNkulunkulu (Khangela indima 18 lo-19)18, 19.

Inkosikazi yayicabanga ukuthi idonsa yodwa ezindabeni zokukhonza. Umkayo laye wavuma ukuthi kenelisi ukufundisa kuhle njalo uyehluleka ukuhlela ukuthi babe lokukhonza kwemuli maviki wonke. Abadala basiza imuli le ukuthi icabange ngesibonelo sikaJesu. UJesu wayenakekela abafundi bakhe ngakho konke ababekudinga. Ngakho bakhuthaza indoda ukuthi ilingisele isibonelo sikaJesu njalo basiza lodade ukuthi ambekezelele umkakhe. Okunye okwenziwa ngabadala yikunika umzalwane lo lomkakhe amacebo angabasiza ukuthi benze ukukhonza kwemuli ndawonye labantwababo ababili. (Efe. 5:21-29) Ngemva kwalokho indoda yasebenza nzima ukuze ithuthukise indlela ekhokhela ngayo imuli yayo. Abadala bayincoma ngalokhu eyayikwenza, basebeyikhuthaza ukuthi iqhubeke icela umoya ongcwele kuJehova. Lokhu okwenziwa ngabadala kwayinceda kakhulu imuli le.20.
