NgoJanuwari 27–Februwari 2: “Umsebenzi Wami UyoQhubeka”

IMfundiso neziVumelwano 3–5

Phakathi neminyaka yakhe yokuqala embalwa njengomprofethi weNkosi, uJoseph Smith wayengakazi yonke into mayelana “nomsebenzi omangalisayo” ayebizelwe ukuwenza. Kodwa into eyodwa isipiliyoni sakhe sasekuqaleni esamfundisa kona ukuthi ukuba enze umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, iso lakhe kufanele “liqonde inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu” (IMfundiso neziVumelwano 4:1, 5). Isibonelo, uma iNkosi imeluleka ukuba enze into ayengaqiniseki ukuthi ufuna ukuyenza, kwakudingeka alandele isiqondiso seNkosi. Futhi noma wayengaba “nezambulo eziningi, futhi … namandla okwenza imisebenzi eminingi emikhulu,” uma enomuzwa wokuthi lokho ayekufuna kubaluleke ngaphezu kwentando kaNkulunkulu, ‘kufanele awe’ (IMfundiso neziVumelwano 3:4). Kepha uJoseph wafunda okunye nakho okubaluleke kakhulu ngokwenza umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu: “UNkulunkulu unesihawu,” futhi uma uJoseph wayephenduka ngempela, kwakusawuye “[o]sakhethiwe” (vesi 10). Umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, ekugcineni, umsebenzi wensidiso. Futhi lowo msebenzi “ngeke [w]avinjelwa” (vesi 1).

Amasu okuFunda eKhaya naseBandleni

IMfundiso neziVumelwano 3:1–16

Ngingamethemba uNkulunkulu.

Ekuqaleni kwenkonzo kaJoseph Smith, abangane abalungile kwakunzima ukubathola—ikakhulukazi abangane abanjengoMartin Harris, indoda ehlonishwayo, ephumelelayo eyenza ukuzidela okukhulu ukuze isekele umsebenzi kaJoseph. Ngakho ngesikhathi uMartin ecela imvume yokubonisa umkakhe amakhasi okuqala ayi-116 emibhalo yesandla ehunyushwe ngeNcwadi kaMormoni, uJoseph ngokwemvelo wayefuna ukuhlonipha isicelo sakhe, nakuba iNkosi yayixwayisile ngakho. Ngokudabukisayo, amakhasi alahleka ngesikhathi ephethwe nguMartin, futhi uJoseph kanye noMartin bajeziswa kakhulu yiNkosi

Njengoba ufunda IMfundiso neziVumelwano 3:1–15, zindla ngalokho iNkosi efuna ukuba ukufunde kulokho okwenzeka kubo. Isibonelo, ufundani:

• Kumsebenzi kaNkulunkulu? (bheka amavesi 1–3, 16).

• Kwimiphumela yokwesaba abantu kunokuthembela kuNkulunkulu na? (bheka amavesi 4–8).

• Kwizibusiso ezilethwa ukuhlala sithembekile? (bheka ivesi 8).

• Indlela iNkosi emqondisa ngayo futhi yamkhuthaza ngayo uJoseph? (bheka amavesi 9–16).

- Cabanga ngokufunda lezi zibonelo emibhalweni abhekisela kuyo. Yikuphi okufundayo kulokhu kulandisa na? Yiziphi izehlakalo oye waba nazo lapho wethemba khona iNkosi ngesikhathi ubhekene nengcindezi yokwenza okuthile okuhlukile na? Yaba yini imiphumela yezenzo zakho na?

IMfundiso neziVumelwano 4

Ngingakwazi ukukhonza uNkulunkulu ngayo yonke inhliziyo, amandla, ingqondo nokuqina kwami.

Isigaba 4 sivamise ukufundwa ngabefundisi abashumayelayo. Kodwa, kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi lesisambulo sanikezwa uJoseph Smith Sr., owayengabizwanga ukuthunywa kodwa owasese “nentshisekelo yokusebenzela uNkulunkulu” (ivesi 3).

Enye yezindlela ongafunda ngayo lesi sigaba ukusicabanga njengencazelo yomsebenzi womuntu ofuna ukwenza umsebenzi weNkosi. Ifunani iNkosi na? Yiziphi izinzuzo azinikezayo na?

Ufundani ngokusebenzela iNkosi kulesi sambulo na?

Nelson wabiza ukuqoqwa kuka-Israyeli “inselele enkulu, imbangela enkulu, kanye nomsebenzi omkhulu emhlabeni” (“Hope of Israel” [worldwide youth devotional, Juni 3, 2018], Umtapo woLwazi wevangeli). Yini oyitholayo enkulumeni yakhe ekukhuthaza ukuba uhlanganyele kulo msebenzi?

Wonke umuntu onesifiso sokusebenzela uNkulunkulu ubizelwe emsebenzini.

IMfundiso neziVumelwano 5

NgoMoya oNgcwele, ngingathola ubufakazi ngeNcwadi kaMormoni.

NgoMashi 1829, unkosikazi kaMartin Harris, uLucy, wafaka isimangalo enkantolo sokuthi uJoseph Smith wayekhohlisa abantu ngokwenza sengathi uhumusha izingcwephe zegolide. Ngakho–ke uMartin wacela uJoseph ubufakazi obengeziwe obukhombisa ukuthi izingcwephe zegolide ezangempela. IMfundiso neziVumelwano 5 yisambulo esiphendula isicelo sikaMartin Harris. Yini oyifundayo kulesi sigaba ngalokhu okulandelayo:

• Lokho iNkosi ekushoyo kwakuyokwenzeka uma izingcwephe zegolide ziboniswa ukuze izwe likubone (bheka IMfundiso neziVumelwano 5:7). Kungani ucabanga ukuthi kunjalo na?

• Indima yofakazi emsebenzini weNkosi (bheka amavesi 11–15; ubheke futhi 2 kwabaseKorinte 13:1).

• Ungazitholela kanjani ubufakazi beNcwadi kaMormoni (bheka amavesi 16, 24; bheka noMoroni 10:3–5).
