Wafunda iqiniso ngoJehova wasuqalisa ukumhlonipha lokumthanda, wambona esenguYihlo osezulwini. Waba lokholo futhi lokhu kwenza wafuna ukuphenduka, wasuyekela ukwenza izinto ezimbi waqalisa ukwenza izinto ezihambelana lentando kaNkulunkulu. Wezwa ukhululeka ngesikhathi unanzelela ukuthi uNkulunkulu usekuthethelele. (Hubo. 32:2) Waqalisa ukubuya emihlanganweni yamaKhristu lokuxoxela abanye izinto ezinhle osuzifundile. Njengoba sewazinikela futhi wabhabhathizwa, ususendleleni eya ekuphileni futhi uzimisele ukuqhubeka uhamba kuyo. (Mat. 7:​13, 14) Zimisele ukuma uqine, ube qotho kuJehova njalo ulalele imithetho yakhe zikhathi zonke, ungavumi ukunyikinywa. w23.07 17 ¶14; 19 ¶19

Nxa ungacabangisisa ngomthandazo wokuzinikela kuJehova owawenzayo, uzathola amandla okumelana laloba yisiphi isilingo ongahlangana laso. Ngokwesibonelo, ungazidlisa satshanyana yini emuntwini otshadileyo? Ngeke, ngoba uyabe usuvele wazimisela ukuthi kawusoze wenze into enjalo. Nxa ungaphangisa ukulahla imicabango emibi, uzabalekela ubunzima obuhlangana lalabo abayekela imicabango emibi igxila ezingqondweni zabo. Lokhu kuzakunceda ukuthi ‘ungalugxobi endleleni yababi.’ (Zaga. 4:​14, 15) Ukucabangisisa ngalokho uJesu ayekwenza kungakunceda. Wayezimisele ukuhlala ethokozisa uYise. Ngakho lawe zimisele ukwala masinyane loba yini engasoze ithokozise uNkulunkulu wakho ozinikele kuye. (Mat. 4:10; Joh. 8:29) Izilingo kanye lenhlupho ohlangana lazo zikunika ithuba lokutshengisa ukuthi uzimisele ukuqhubeka ulandela uJesu. Qiniseka ukuthi uJehova uzakuncedisa nxa ungazimisela ukuqhubeka ulandela uJesu. w24.03 9-10 ¶8-10

INkosi uDavida kwakuke kuyithwalise nzima ukulalela, yikho yakhuleka icela ukuthi uNkulunkulu ‘ayenze izimisele ukumlalela.’ (Hubo. 51:12) UDavida wayemthanda uJehova. Kodwa kwezinye izikhathi kwakuke kube nzima ukuthi alalele, futhi lokhu kuyenzakala lakithi. Kubangelwa yikuyini? Isizatho sokuqala yikuthi silesono esasithola ebazalini bethu. Esesibili, yikuthi uSathane uhlala ezama ukwenza ukuthi sihlamukele uJehova njengaye. (2 Khor. 11:3) Esesithathu, siphila emhlabeni olabantu abangakuthandiyo ukulalela, abalomoya wokuvukela. IBhayibhili lithi ngabo: “Umoya lo yiwo osebenzayo khathesi ebantwini abangalaleliyo.” (Efe. 2:2) Kumele sisebenze nzima silwisane lesono esilaso kanye lomoya kaDeveli ngoba abantu bomhlaba lo bafuna singalaleli. Lokhu yikho okuzasinceda ukuthi siqhubeke silalela uJehova kanye lalabo ababeke ukuthi bakhokhele. w23.10 6 ¶1
