Bantfu labanyenti bacabanga kutsi boFakazi BaJehova ligama lenkholo lensha. Nanobe kunjalo, eminyakeni lengetulu kwa-2 700 leyendlulile, tinceku taNkulunkulu weliciniso betibitwa ngekutsi ‘bofakazi’ bakhe. (Isaya 43:10-12) Besatiwa ngekutsi siBafundzi beliBhayibheli kwate kwaba ngu-1931. Kungani sakhetsa kubitwa ngeligama lelitsi siboFakazi BaJehova?

Lembula Nkulunkulu wetfu. Emibhalweni yesandla yasendvulo, libito laNkulunkulu lelitsi Jehova, livela tikhatsi letitinkhulungwane eBhayibhelini. Emahumushweni lamanyenti lelibito likhishiwe kwafakwa ticu letitsi Nkhosi nobe Nkulunkulu. Nanobe kunjalo, Nkulunkulu weliciniso watembula yena kuMosi ngelibito lakhe lelitsi Jehova, watsi: “Leli-ke libito lami phakadze naphakadze.” (Eksodusi 3:15) Ngalendlela, watehlukanisa kubonkulunkulu bemanga. Siyatigcabha ngekwatiwa ngelibito laNkulunkulu lelingcwele.

Lichaza umsebenti wetfu. Bantfu labanyenti basendvulo, kusukela ku-Abela lobekalungile, baniketa bufakazi bekukholwa kwabo kuJehova. Emakhulwini eminyaka lendlulile, Nowa, Abrahama, Sara, Mosi, Davide nalabanye, bahlanganyela ‘nalesicumbi lesikhulu sabofakazi.’ (Hebheru 11:4–12:1) Njengemuntfu longase anikete bufakazi enkantolo ngemuntfu lote licala, natsi sitimisele kwenta liciniso ngaNkulunkulu wetfu latiwe.

Silingisa Jesu. LiBhayibheli limbita ngekutsi ‘ngufakazi lowetsembekile nalocinisile.’ (Sembulo 3:14) Jesu ngekwakhe watsi: “Ligama lakho ngilatisile” futsi wachubeka ‘afakazela liciniso’ ngaNkulunkulu. (Johane 17:6; 18:37) Ngako-ke, balandzeli baKhristu labacotfo kufanele bafakaze ngelibito laJehova futsi balente latiwe. Nguloko boFakazi BaJehova labatimisele kukwenta.
