Motsheganong 26–Seetebosigo 1“Yo o Boikanyego, Mosiami, le Molebedi yo o Botlhale”

Dithuto le Dikgolagano 51–57

Mo malokong a Kereke ka bo1830, go phutha Baitshepi le go aga toropo ya Sione e ne e le tiro ya semowa le ya lobaka lono fela, ka dilo tse dintsi tse di neng di tshwanetse go dirwa: Mongwe o ne a tlhoka go reka lefatshe ko Baitshepi ba ka thibelelang teng. Mongwe o ne a tlhoka go gatisa dibuka le dikanamiso tse dingwe. Le mongwe o ne a tlhoka go bula lebolokelo go tlamela batho mo Sione ka dithoto. Mo ditshenolong tse di gatisitsweng mo Dithuto le Dikgolagano 51–57, Morena o ne a tlhoma le go laola batho go dira ditiro tse.

Mme le fa boitseanape mo dilong tse bo ne bo tlhokega mo Sione, ditshenolo tse le gone di ruta gore Morena o ne a eletsa Baitshepi ba Gagwe go batshwanedi semoweng go bidiwa batho ba Sione—Batho ba Gagwe. O bitsa mongwe le mongwe wa rona go nna “yo o boikanyego, mosiami, le molebedi yo o botlhale,” a na le mowa o o ngomogileng, yo o “eme[ng] ka tlhomamo” mo maikarabelelong a rona (bona Dithuto le Dikgolagano 51:19; 52:15; 54:2). Fa re kgona go dira jalo—go sa kgathalesege ka boitsaanape jwa rona—Morena o ka re dirisa go aga Sione.

Megopolo ya go Ithuta kwa Gae le kwa Kerekeng

Dithuto le Dikgolagano 51

Morena o batla ke nna molebeledi yo o boikanyego, yo o siameng, le yo o botlhale.

Fa o ne o le leloko la Kereke ka 1831, o ne o ka tswa o laleditswe go tshela molao wa tshwaelo ka go baya monwana go abela lefatshe la gago Kereke ka bishopo. Ke gone o ne a tlaa busetsa mo go wena, mo diemong tse dintsi, se o se abileng, ka nako tse dingwe ka mo go fetileng. Mme e ne e sa tlhole e le fela tse o nang le tsone—e ne e le bolebedi jwa gago.

Gompieno ditsamaiso di farologanye, mme melawana e santse e le botlhokwa mo tirong ya Morena. Jaaka o bala tsetlana 51, akanya ka se Modimo a se tsentseng mo tlhokomelong ya gago. Mafoko “molebeledi” (temana 19) le “tshwaetseng” (temana 5) di kaya eng ka ditsholofelo tsa Modimo ka wena?

Poresidente Spencer W. Kimball o tlhalositse: “Mo Kerekeng bolebedi ke boikanyegoi jo bo boitshepo jwa semowa kgotsa jwa lobaka lono fela jo go nang le boikarabelo mo go jone. Gonne dilo tsotlhe ke tsa Morena, re balebedi ba mebele ya rona, ditlhaloganyo, malwapa, le dithoto. (Bona Dithuto le Dikgolagano 104:11–15.) Molebedi yo o boikanyego ke mongwe yo o dirisang taolo ya tshiamo, a tlhokomela batho ba gagwe, le go lebelela bahumanegi le batlhoki” (“Welfare Services: The Gospel in Action,” Ensign, Nov. 1977, 78).

The Law of Consecration

Historians Kate Holbrook and Steven C. Harper discuss what the Law of Consecration is, the three core doctrines pertaining to it, and how we can live it today.

Dithuto le Dikgolagano 52:9–11, 22–27

Ke ka laletsa ba bangwe go tla go Keresete gongwe le gongwe kwa ke yang teng.

Fa Morena a romela baeteledipele ba le mmalwa ba Kereke kwa Missouri, o ne a ba bolelela go dirisa nako e ba e tsayang ba tsamaya le go rera mo tseleng” (ditemana 25–27). O ka abelana efangele “mo tseleng” jang, kgotsa ka nako ya ditiragalo tse di tlwaelesegileng tsa botshelo jwa gago?

Dithuto le Dikgolagano 52:14–19

Morena o nthusa go tila tsietso.

Ka batho ba bantsi ba ipolela ba na le diponatshego tsa semowa, Baitshepi ba pele ba ne ba tshwenyegile ka go tsiediwa. Morena o ba neetse tlhagiso efe mo Dithuto le Dikgolagano 52:14? Tharabololo ya Gagwe e ne e le eng? (bona temana 14–19).

Sekao ke sengwe se se boelelang ka gale, ka tsela e e solofetsweng. Sekai se akaretsa go bala ka dipalo kgotsa go tlhaba ga letsatsi le go phirima ga lone letsatsi le letsatsi. Ke dife dikai tse dingwe tse o ka di akanyang? Jaaka o senka Dithuto le Dikgolagano 52:14–19, kaya sekaelo sa Morena go tila tsietso. Go ka thusa go tshwaya “ngomogileng” go raya maikutlo a boikokobetso le boikotlhao, “bonolo” bo raya bopelonolo le go itshwara sentle; le go “nonotsha” go raya go laela, tokafatsa, kgotsa go aga. Ke eng o ikutlwa gore sekaelo sa Morena se akaretsa mekgwa e, le kobamelo? O ka diragatsa jang sekaelo se go tila tsietso?

Tlhalosa mafoko a thata. Mo App ya Motlobo wa Efangele, o ka tobetsa le go tshegetsa lefoko mme o bo tlhopha “Tlhalosa.” Ke gone o tlaabo o isiwa ko tlhalosong ya lefoko. Leka se fa o kopana le lefoko le o sa le tlwaelang—kgotsa mafoko a a lebegang a tlwaelesegile a o eletsang go a tlhaloganya botoka.

Ke dife dikai tsa ditsietso mo malatsing a rona? Re ka itse jang fa re tsiediwa?

Sekai, o ka akanya go sekaseka ditshwetso tsa gago mabapi le ditshwantsho tsa motshikinyego, moopelo, le tiriso ya maranyane a a kopanyang batho o ikaegile ka kaelo e e mo “Walk in God’s light” mo For the Strength of Youth: A Guide for Making Choices, 16–21.

Dithuto le Dikgolagano 54

Ke ka retologela mo go Morena fa ke utlwisitswe botlhoko ke ditshwetso tsa ba bangwe.

A o kile wa boga go nna maswabi fa mongwe yo o ikaegileng ka ene a ne a sa tshegetse maitlamo a bone? Se se diragaletse Baitshepi go tswa kwa Colesville, New York, bao ba neng ba solofetse go nna kwa lefatsheng la ga Leman Copley kwa Ohio. Go ithuta go tswa mo maitemogelong a, akanya ka go sekaseka setlhogo sa tsetlana 54 (bona le gone Saints, 1:125–28; “A Bishop unto the Church,” mo Revelations in Context, 78–79). Fa o ne o na le tsala mo gare ga Baitshepi ba Colesville, o ne o ka batla kgakololo e fe mo tsetlana 54 go e abelana le ene?

Masimo a ga Leman Copley

Dithuto le Dikgolagano 56:14–20

Go sego ba ba pelo e e itshekileng.

Mo ditemaneng tse, Morena o buile gotlhe le bahumi le bahumanegi, go ka go kgatlha go tshwantshanya kgakololo ya Gagwe go ditlhopha tsena tse pedi tse. Ke eng mo ditemaneng tse se se utlwalang se itebagantse le wena?

Ba thuse go batla sekaelo se Morena a se neileng mo Dithuto le Dikgolagano 52:14–15. Rurifatsa gore ba tlhaloganya mafoko a a sa tlwaelesegang mo ditemaneng tse. Re ka dirisa jang sekaelo se go lemoga boammaaruri?

Dithuto le Dikgolagano 54:4–6

Ke tshwanetse go tshegetsa dikgolagano tsa me ka nako tsotlhe.

Bana ba gago ba ka ipaya e ka re ke maloko a Kereke ba ba gorogileng mo Ohio. Ba ka ikutlwa jang morago ga Leman a sena go se diragatse kgolagano ya gagwe? Se se re ruta eng ka go tshegetsa dikgolagano tsa rona le ditsholofetso? Bala mmogo Dithuto le Dikgolagano 54:6 go lemoga ditshegofatso tsa batho ba ba tshegetsang dikgolagano tsa bone

Dithuto le Dikgolagano 55:1–4

Ke ka dirisa ditshegofatso tse Modimo a di nneetseng go segofatsa ba bangwe.

• Go simolodisa tsetlana 55, o ka nna wa batla go tlhalosa gore William W. Phelps e ne e le mogatisi wa pampiri ya dikgang yo a ithutileng ka efangele mme a nna leloko la Kereke. Bala le bana ba gago Dithuto le Dikgolagano 55:1–4, mme ba thuse go lemoga se Modimo a neng a batla William a se dira. O ne a na le leano la go dirisa jang ditalente tsa ga William? Se se ka gogela mo puisanong ya ka fa Modimo a ka re laletsang ka teng go dirisa ditalente tsa rona go segofatsa bana ba gagwe.
