      Ikhabhoni monokisayidi ngumoya oyingozi kakhulu. Awubonakali futhi kawulaphunga. Nxa lapho okhona kulomoya lo kunzima ukuwuzwa ukuthi ukhona. Yikho ubulala abanengi bengananzeleli. Kukhanya inengi labantu ababulawa yitshefu emhlabeni wonke bayabe bebulewe yiwo umoya lo. Kodwa akulasizatho sokuthi wesabe ngoba zikhona izinto ezingakunceda ukuthi ubone ukuthi ukhona. Abantu abanengi bafaka imitshina ebalimukisayo nxa lapho abakhona sekulomoya lo, njalo lokhu kwenza baphangise ukuthola indlela abangazivikela ngayo.

      USathane laye unjalo, kabonakali, kunzima ukuthi abantu bananzelele ukuthi ukhona njalo uyingozi kakhulu. Kodwa uNkulunkulu kasitshiyi sinjalo, uyasinceda. Yikho-ke akudingeki ukuthi umesabe uSathane nxa usebenzisa izipho ezilandelayo esiziphiwa nguNkulunkulu.

      Inkululeko yokuzikhethela. UJakhobe 4:7 uthi: “Menqabeni uSathane, uzalibalekela.” Lanxa uSathane elamandla, ngeke akubambe ngenkani ukuthi wenze izinto ongazifuniyo. Wena uyazikhethela ukuthi ufunani. U-1 Phetro 5:9 uthi: “Menqabeni [uDeveli], liqinile ekukholweni.” Ungakhohlwa ukuthi uSathane wamtshiya uJesu lapho esebona ukuthi wehluleke kathathu ukumlinga. (UMathewu 4:11) Kusegcekeni ukuthi lawe ungazikhethela ukuthi ungaweli emijibileni kaSathane.

      Ubungane loNkulunkulu. UJakhobe 4:8 usikhuthaza ukuthi ‘sisondele phansi kukaNkulunkulu.’ UJehova uyakunxusa yena ngokwakhe ukuthi ube ngumngane wakhe. Ungakwenza njani lokhu? Qala ngokufunda okunengi ngaye usebenzisa iBhayibhili. Lokhu kuzakunceda kakhulu. (UJohane 17:3) Ozakufunda ngoJehova kuzakwenza ukuthi ucine usumthanda kakhulu. Kanti njalo nxa usumthanda kuzakuba lula ukuthi wenze intando yakhe. (1 UJohane 5:3) Nxa usondela kuYihlo osezulwini, yena uzakwenzani? UJakhobe uthi: ‘[UNkulunkulu] laye uzasondela kuwe.’

      Ijaha litaditsha iBhayibhili, likhuleke kuNkulunkulu beselilahla izinto eziphathelane lamadimoni

      UJehova ukunika izipho ongazisebenzisa ukuze uzivikele

      Isithembiso sokuthi sizavikelwa. UZaga 18:10 uthi: “Ibizo likaJehova liyinqaba eqinileyo; abalungileyo babalekela kulo baphephe.” Kodwa lokho akutsho ukuthi ibizo likaNkulunkulu seliyintebe. Kutsho ukuthi abahlonipha ibizo lakhe ngenhliziyo yonke bangambiza loba ngasiphi isikhathi ukuze abavikele.
