“Yonke Inyama Isesandleni Sami”

UMongameli u-Ezra Taft Benson wasifundisa ukuthi uma siyifunda imibhalo engcwele, “ubufakazi bethu buzokhula. Sizoqina ekuzinikeleni. Imindeni yethu izoqiniswa. Sizothola kakhulu izambulo” (“The Power of the Word,” kwi Ensign, ngoMeyi 1986, 81).

Bhala Okufika Emqondweni Wakho

NgoJuni ngonyaka ka-1831, uJoseph Smith wabamba umhlangano namagosa eBandla eKirtland. Lapho, iNkosi yahlela amanye amagosa ukuba ahambe ngababili yase ibathumela eJackson County, eMissouri, futhi yabanika lomyalelo: “Mabashumayele endleleni” (IMfundiso neziVumelwano 52:10). Iningi lamagosa lenza njalo ngenkuthalo, kodwa amanye awakwenzanga lokho. Ngesikhathi sekufika isikhathi sokuhamba kubuyelwe emuva eKirtland, iNkosi yathi, “Kodwa ngabanye [amagosa] angithokozile kahle, ngokuba abayivuli imilomo yabo, kodwa bayalifihla ithalente engibanike lona, ngenxa yokwesaba abantu” (IMfundiso neZivumelwano 60:2). Abaningi bethu bangazwelana nawo lamagosa––nathi singazizwa singabaza ukuvula imilomo yethu sazise abanye ngevangeli. Mhlawumbe nathi sivinjwa “ukwesaba abantu.” Mhlawumbe sinokungabaza ngokufaneleka kwethu noma ngamakhono ethu. Noma ngabe yiziphi izizathu zethu, iNkosi “iyabazi ubuthakathaka babantu iyazi ukuthi ingasisiza kanjani” (iMfundiso neziVumelwano 62-1). Kuneziqinisekiso ezigcwele kuzo zonke lezi zambulo ezingasisiza sinqobe ukwesaba kwethu ngokwazisa abanye ivangeli—noma okunye ukwesaba esisabhekene nakho: “Mina, iNkosi, ngibusa emazulwini phezulu.” “Ngiyakwazi ukukwenza ube ngcwele.” “Yonke inyama isezandleni zami.” Futhi “yibani nenjabulo, bantwana abancane; ngokuba ngiphakathi kwenu.” (IMfundiso Nezivumelwano 60:4, 7; 61:6, 36.)
