Iminikelo Evuyisa Intliziyo KaThixo
ELI asilobali limyoli kangako. UKumkanikazi uAtaliya waba ngukumkanikazi wakwaYuda ngobuqhophololo nokuphalaza igazi. Ekubeni wayecinga ukuba zibulewe zonke iindlalifa zasebukhosini, wazibeka njengokumkanikazi. Ngenkalipho, uYehoshebha owayeyinkosazana, nowayemthanda gqitha uYehova noMthetho wakhe, wafihla uYehowashe owayengowomlibo wasebukhosini. Yena nomyeni wakhe, uYehoyada owayenguMbingeleli Omkhulu, bayifihla le ndlalifa iminyaka emithandathu kwindawo ababehlala kuyo etempileni.—2 Kumkani 11:1-3.
Xa uYehowashe wayeneminyaka esixhenxe ubudala, uMbingeleli Omkhulu uYehoyada wayesele ekulungele ukubhukuqa uAtaliya owayengukumkanikazi ngondlela-mnyama. Wayilanda kwindawo awayeyifihle kuyo le nkwenkwana waza wayithwesa ubukhosi. UKumkanikazi uAtaliya ongendawo wankalwa phantsi ngaphandle kwetempile ngumkhosi wasebukhosini waze wafa, nto leyo eyazisa isiqabu novuyo kubantu. Izenzo zikaYehoyada noYehoshebha, zaba negalelo elikhulu ekuvuselelweni konqulo lokwenyaniso kwaYuda. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo, kukuba balondoloza umlibo wobukhosi bukaDavide, owawuza kuvelisa uMesiya.—2 Kumkani 11:4-21.
Ukumkani omtsha owayesandul’ ukumiselwa naye wayeza kwenza umnikelo owawuza kuvuyisa intliziyo kaThixo. Indlu kaYehova yayifuna ukuhlaziywa. Amabhongo ka-Ataliya okuba ngukumkanikazi wakwaYuda aphumela ekubeni ingahoywa itempile zaza nezinto ezazikuyo zaphangwa. UYehowashe wayezimisele ukuyilungisa nokuyihlaziya itempile. Ngaphandle kokulibazisa, wakhupha umyalelo wokuba kuqokelelwe imali ukuze kuvuselelwe indlu kaYehova. Wathi: “Yonke imali yeminikelo engcwele eziswe endlwini kaYehova, imali alinganiselwe ngayo ngamnye, imali yemiphefumlo ngokwexabiso lomntu, yonke imali ekuthe qatha entliziyweni yakhe ngamnye ukuba ayizise endlwini kaYehova, ababingeleli mabazithabathele yona, ngamnye kulowo amqhelileyo; yaye bona mabavale iintanda zendlu naphi na apho kufunyanwa khona uthanda.”—2 Kumkani 12:4, 5.
Abantu banikela ngokuvumayo. Noko ke, ababingeleli babengawukhuthalelanga umsebenzi wabo wokuhlaziywa kwetempile. Ngenxa yoko ukumkani wagqiba ekubeni awenze ngokwakhe wayalela ukuba yonke iminikelo ifakwe kwibhokisi ekhethekileyo. Wamisela uYehoyada ukuba avelele lo msebenzi, ibe ingxelo ithi: “UYehoyada umbingeleli wathabatha isikhongozelo waza wagqobhoza umngxuma esicikweni saso wasibeka ecaleni kwesibingelelo ngasekunene xa umntu engena endlwini kaYehova, yaye apho ababingeleli, abagcini-mnyango, babeka yonke imali eyayisiziswa endlwini kaYehova. Yaye kwakusithi kamsinya nje bakubona ukuba kukho imali eninzi esikhongozelweni, unobhala kakumkani nombingeleli omkhulu beze, bayibophe baze bayibale imali eyayifumaneka endlwini kaYehova. Yaye banikela ngemali eyayilinganisiwe ezandleni zabo babesenza umsebenzi ababemiselwe endlwini kaYehova. Baza bona bahlawula ngayo abo babesebenza ngomthi nabakhi ababesebenza endlwini kaYehova, nabo babexhola amatye nabaqingqi bamatye, bathenga namaplanga namatye aqingqiweyo okuvala iintanda zendlu kaYehova nako konke okwakuchithiwe endlwini ukuze ilungiswe.”—2 Kumkani 12:9-12.
Abantu basabela kakuhle kakhulu. Indlu yokunqula uYehova yahlaziywa kwaza kwanqulwa ngendlela enesidima. Yonke imali ekwakunikelwe ngayo yasetyenziswa kakuhle. UKumkani uYehowashe waqinisekisa ukuba yonke into ihamba kakuhle!
Namhlanje intlangano kaYehova ebonakalayo iyaqinisekisa ukuba yonke imali ekunikelwa ngayo isetyenziswa kakuhle ukuze ihambisele phambili unqulo lukaYehova, kwaye amaKristu okwenyaniso aye asabela njengamaSirayeli kuba aye anikela ngeentliziyo ezivumayo. Mhlawumbi ungomnye wabo baye banikela ukuze kuhanjiselwe phambili izilangazelelo zoBukumkani kulo nyaka wenkonzo uphelileyo. Makhe sithi gqabagqaba ngendlela eye yasetyenziswa ngayo iminikelo yenu.

ABAKHONZI ABAKHETHEKILEYO BEXESHA ELIZELEYO
Kukho iqela lamaKristu akhonza kumakhaya aseBheteli okanye axakeke ngumsebenzi wokushumayela. Wambi amatshantliziyo axhaswa ngeminikelo yokuzithandela. Amanye awo akhonza:
• Njengabavangeli basemazweni: 2 635
• Abaveleli abahambahambayo: 5 325
• Kumakhaya aseBheteli: 20 092
“Ekubeni ndingenakukhonza eBheteli ngoku [inkwenkwana eneminyaka emihlanu ubudala] ndithe mandithumele lo mnikelo. Xa ndimdala ndiza kukhonza eBheteli.”
Ukuhambisela Phambili Imfundo YeBhayibhile
UYesu Kristu wathuma abalandeli bakhe ukuba ‘benze abafundi abantu beentlanga zonke.’ (Mateyu 28:19) Ekubeni ethobela amazwi akhe, amaNgqina kaYehova axakekile eshumayela isigidimi seBhayibhile kumazwe angama-235. Apapasha aze asasaze uncwadi lweBhayibhile ngeelwimi ezingama-413.
