2 Emva kokuba lifunde iZibhalo, eli gosa labhaptizwa ngoko nangoko. (Funda iZenzo 8:27-31, 35-38.) Yintoni eyalenza labhaptizwa? Lalithanda iLizwi LikaThixo kuba lalikhwele kwinqwelo yalo lifunda incwadi kaIsaya. Xa uFilipu wayethetha nalo, layixabisa kakhulu into elayenzelwa nguYesu. Laliyokwenzani eYerusalem eli gosa?

Unokuthanda kakhulu intsapho okanye abahlobo bakho, ize loo nto ikwenze ungafuni ukubhaptizwa kuba ucinga ukuba baza kukucaphukela. (Mat. 10:37) Okanye kusenokwenzeka ukuba kunzima ukuyeka izinto ozithandayo ezingafunwayo nguThixo. (INdu. 97:10) Okanye ukhule usenza izinto ezenziwa ezicaweni. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba xa ucinga ngazo uncuma wedwa. Loo nto inokwenza kube nzima ukuziyeka. (1 Kor. 10:20, 21) Kodwa umbuzo omele uzibuze wona ngulo: “Yintoni okanye ngubani oyena mntu ndimthandayo?”

    Umhlaba onameva: Lo mntu uyayithanda into ayifunda ngoYehova, kodwa ucinga ukuba imali nezinto anazo ziza kumkhusela zize zimenze onwabe. Amaxesha amaninzi uthi masingaqhutywa isifundo kuba uyasebenza okanye usayokonwaba.

  • Umhlaba otyebileyo onengqolowa.

    Umhlaba otyebileyo: Lo mntu ubakho qho xa ezokufundelwa iBhayibhile kwaye uyazama ukwenza izinto azifundayo. Eyona nto ibalulekileyo kuye kukuvuyisa uYehova. Nokuba uyachaswa, akayeki ukuxelela abantu ngezinto azaziyo ngoYehova.

Nguwe okhethayo ukuba ufuna intliziyo yakho ifane nowuphi umhlaba. Njengokuba umhlaba unokwenziwa uthambe, ususwe ukhula ukuze ube mhle, nawe unokukwazi ukuyitshintsha intliziyo yakho. Khumbula, nguwe okhethayo ukuba intliziyo yakho ufuna ifane nowuphi umhlaba.

Xa ethetha ngala madoda uthi ‘likhoboka elithembekileyo neliyingqondi.’ Eli khoboka likunceda ube ngumhlobo kaThixo nokuba kungabikho nto ikwahlukanisa naye.

Xa usiya umthanda uYehova, unokuthetha into eyathethwa ngumpostile uPetros noYohane abathi: “Thina asinakuyeka ukuthetha ngezinto esizibonileyo nesizivileyo.” (IZe. 4:20) Kuvuyisa kakhulu ukunceda umntu athande uYehova. Khawucinge indlela anoba wavuya ngayo umvangeli uFilipu xa wanceda umTiyopiya wazazi iZibhalo waza wabhaptizwa. Xa ulinganisa uFilipu, ushumayele, njengokuba uYesu watshoyo, ubonisa ukuba ufuna ukuba liNgqina likaYehova. (Funda kwabaseRoma 10:10, 13, 14.)
