9-11. Yokuthoma kwebeThesalonika 5:3 izalisekile na? Hlathulula.

⁹ Funda 1 Thesalonika 5:1-3. Esikhathini esiseduze esizako, iintjhaba zizokurhwelela zithi “Kunokuthula nokuphepha.” Nasizakusiphaphamela isibikezelwesi kufuze sihlale “siphapheme begodu sihlale siqaqulukile.” (1 Thes. 5:6) Nesifuna ukuhlala siqaqulukile ngokomoya, akhe sibuyekeze kafitjhazana iingemegeme ezisisendlalelo sesibikezelwesi.

¹⁰ Ngemva kwezipi zephasi ezimbili, iintjhaba zahlongoza ukuthula. Ngemva kwepi yephasi yokuthoma, kwahlonywa iHlangano yeenTjhabatjhaba, kunethemba lokuthi izakuletha ukuthula. Ngemva kwepi yephasi yesibili, iHlangano yeenTjhaba eziBumbeneko yaba kuphela kwehlangano okunethemba lokuthi izokuletha ukuthula ephasini. Abadosi phambili bezombanganarha nebezekolo bathembele eenhlanganweni ezinjengale bona zilethe ukuthula ebantwini. Ngokwesibonelo, ngo-1986, iHlangano yeenTjhaba eziBumbeneko yabeka umnyaka wokuThula kwePhasi Loke owaba yinto eqakatheke khulu ngesikhatheso. Ngomnyaka loyo, abadosi phambili beentjhaba nebekolo bakhamba bayokuhlangana emzimkhulu weRoma Katolika, e-Assisi, e-Italy, bona kuyokuthandazelwa ukuthula.

¹¹ Nanyana kunjalo, asikho isibikezelo sokuthula namkha sokuphepha esikhe sazalisa isiphorofido esikweyoku-1 Thesalonika 5:3. Kubayini kunjalo? Ngebanga lokuthi ‘ukurhayilwa’ okwenzeka kungakalindelwa akukenzeki.

12. Khuyini esikwaziko ngesibikezelo ‘sokuthula nokuphepha’?

¹² Bobani abazokubikezela “ukuthula nokuphepha”? Abadosi phambili beSingabukrestu bazokudlala yiphi indima? Nakubabadosi phambili bezombanganarha bona, bazokubandakanyeka njani esibikezelwenesi? ImiTlolo ayiyiphathi indaba leyo. Esikwaziko kukuthi kungakhathaliseki bona isibikezelweso siqinisekisa kangangani, sizakufana nekhasi lenyoka efileko. Ikambiso yephasi elidaleli izakusolo ilawulwa nguSathana. Iphaseli libole ukubola, begodu lizokuhlala linje. Qala bona kudanisa kangangani-ke nange omunye wethu akholwa mezwi kaSathana la wokukhohlakala, amenze angenele zombanganarha nezekolo zephaseli!

14. Khuyini okutjengisa bona isiphetho seBhabhele elikhulu sesitjhidele?

¹⁴ IBhabhele elikhulu, umBuso wephasi wekolo yamala, uzokuba nesiphetho esiwufaneleko. Sibona neziga ezitjengisa bona isiphethweso sesiseduze. ‘Abantu, iinqubuthu, izizwe neenlimi’ bazokubhalelwa kuwusiza. (IsAm. 16:12; 17:15-18; 18:7, 8, 21) Eqinisweni, bemithombo yezeendaba sebahlala banghonghoyila ngabadosi phambili bezekolo, lokho kutjengisa bona sebathomile ukungasabasekeli. Nanyana kunjalo abadosi phambili beBhabhele elikhulu abayiboni ingozi ekulu ezako. Abazi bona babethe phasi kwathunya ithuli. Nekuqeda ukubikezelwa ‘ukuthula nokuphepha,’ zombanganarha zakaSathana zizoyihlasela ikolo yamala ziyirhayile. Angekhe isaba khona nangelanga lomhlolo! Kuyinto ehle khulu ukulindela iziga ezinjengalezi bona zenzeke.​—IsAm. 18:8, 10.
