UYeremiya 1–3; 7; 16–18;20

Yiba nomfanekisouthetha nomhlobo ongazange ave ngabaprofeti, kwaye ugqibe ekubeni uchaze lo mbono usebenzisa ubizo lukaYeremiya lokuba ngumprofeti ku UYeremiya 1:4–19.. Yintoni oyifumanayo kule miqolo ekufundisa okuthile ngabaprofeti bakaThixo? Ungajonga kananjalo ku Yeremiya 7:1–7; 20:8–9 neculo elifana nelithi “We Listen to a Prophet’s Voice” (Amaculo, no. 22).

Ungafuna kananjalo ukufundisa umhlobo wakho ngomprofeti wanamhlanje ophilayo. Ngaba kukho nto ithile kule miqolo enokunceda? Ngokomzekelo, yintoni abaprofeti bomhla wethu ”abayincothulayo” okanye ”bayidiliza”? “Bakha” yaye “batyala” ntoni? (UYeremiya 1:10). Wazi njani ukuba umprofeti wethu ophilayo ubizwe nguThixo?

UYeremiya wafunda ntoni ngaye ku Yeremiya 1:5? Njengomprofeti osandula ukubizwa, kutheni le nto kubalulekile ukuba ayazi loo nkcazelo?

Uninzi lwezinto uYeremiya awazifunda ngaye ku Yeremiya 1:5 ziyinyaniso nakuwe. UThixo kananjalo wakwazi ngaphambi kokuba uzalwe kwaye wakulungiselela uxanduva oluthile. Ukufunda ngakumbi ngobomi bakho phambi kokuba uzalwe, funda Alma 13:1–4; IMfundiso neMinqophiso 138:53–56; kunye no Abraham 3:22–23. Unokwenza uludwe lweenyaniso ozifumanayo. Kutheni le nto olu lwazi lubalulekile ukuba ulazi?

Ukuze ufunde ngendlela ezi nyaniso ezibuchaphazele ngayo ubomi boMdala u-Ahmad S. Corbitt, funda umyalezo wakhe othi “You Can Gather Israel!” (Liyahona, UCanzibe 2021, 63–63). Ukwazi malunga nobomi bakho bangaphambili kuyichaphazela njani indlela obuphila ngayo ubomi bakho basemhlabeni?

Nantsi into eyathethwa nguMongameli uRussell M. Nelson malunga nobomi bakho bangaphambi kobomi basemhlabeni:

“UBawo waseZulwini unazi ixesha elide kakhulu. Wena, njengonyana waKhe okanye intombi yaKhe, wonyulwa nguYe ukuba uze emhlabeni ngeli xesha lichanekileyo, ukuba ube yinkokeli kumsebenzi waKhe omkhulu emhlabeni. Ukhethwe kungekhona ngenxa yeempawu zakho zomzimba kodwa ngenxa yeempawu zomoya wakho, ezinjengobukroti, inkalipho, ingqibelelo yentliziyo, ukunxanelwa inyaniso, ukulambela ubulumko, nomnqweno wokukhonza abanye.

“Uphuhlise ezinye zezi mpawu phambi kwasemhlabeni. Ezinye ungaziphuhlisa apha emhlabeni njengokuba uqhubeka uzifuna” (“Decisions for Eternity,” Liyahona, EyeNkanga 2013, 107).

Cinga ngezinye iimeko onokujongana nazo apho kungabaluleka ukukhumbula ezi nyaniso malunga nobomi bakho bangaphambili. Yintoni onokuyenza ukuze uzikhumbuze ngezi nyaniso?

Kummandla owomileyo awayehlala kuwo amaSirayeli, abantu babegcina amanzi axabisekileyo kumaqula angaphantsi komhlaba. Ucinga ukuba “amaqula aqhekekileyo” akhankanywe ku Yeremiya 2:13 angaba afuzisela ntoni? Kutheni le nto ukufumana amanzi emthonjeni kunokuba ngcono kunokuthembela kwiqula? Kuthetha ntoni ukushiya “umthombo wamanzi”? Njengokuba ufunda UYeremiya 2 kunye no 7, qaphela indlela abantu ababewashiya ngayo amanzi aphilileyo eNkosi (bona, ngokomzekelo, UYeremiya 2:26–28; 7:2–11). Kutheni “amanzi aphilileyo” eluphawu olulungileyo loko uMsindisi akunika kona? Cinga ngendlela owafumana ngayo amanzi aphilileyo.

UYeremiya 7 ubhekiswa kubantu ababengena “endlwini yeNkosi … ukuze banqule uYehova,” kodwa izenzo zabo zazingahambisani nokuzinikela kwabo kwangaphandle (bona imiqolo 2–11). Yeyiphi imiyalezo ovakalelwa ukuba iNkosi ibe nayo kuwe kuwo umqolo 21–23??

Ku Yeremiya 16:14–15, uYeremiya wathelekisa ukuhlanganiswa kukaSirayeli ngemihla yokugqibela neMfuduko kaSirayeli ephuma eYiputa. Ngokoluvo lwakho, kutheni ukuhlanganiswa kuya kubaluleka ngakumbi kubantu bakaThixo kuneMfuduko?

Ucebisa ntoni UYeremiya 3:14–18; 16:14–21 ngendlela ukuhlanganiswa kwenzeka ngayo?

Kumyalezo wakhe “Hope of Israel,” uMongameli uRussell M. Nelson, njengoYeremiya, wafundisa ukuba ukuhlanganiswa kukaSirayeli “yeyona nto ibalulekileyo eyenzekayo emhlabeni namhlanje” (ukuzinikela kolutsha ehlabathini lonke, Isilimela 3, 2018, Ithala leeNncwadi zeVangeli). Funda okanye umamele umyalezo wakhe, kwaye ubone ukuba ungafumanisa (a) indlela uMongameli Nelson akuchaza ngayo ukuhlanganiswa kukaSirayeli, (b) indlela achaza ngayo ukubaluleka kwako, kunye (c) nendlela onokuba yinxalenye yokuhlanganiswa.

• Ukuze wazise inyaniso ebalulekileyo efundiswa ku Yeremiya 1:5, unokubonisa abantwana bakho umfanekiso wosana (okanye, ukuba kunokwenzeka, unokujonga imifanekiso yabantwana bakho beseziintsana). Buza abantwana bakho ukuba bayayazi na indawo ababehlala kuyo ngaphambi kokuba bazalwe.

• Ukuba abantwana bakho bangathanda ukufunda ngakumbi, unokubanceda bafumane “Bomi Bangaphambi” kuso IsiKhokelo kwiZibhalo. Banokukhangela iimpendulo kwimibuzo ethi “ngubani,” “nini,” kwaye “yintoni” malunga nobomi bangaphambili.

• Cingisisa ngokubonisa imifanekiso yomprofeti ophilayo okanye abaprofeti abasuka kwizibhalo (ungayifumana eminye kwiincwadi zeBandla, kuyo Incwadi yoMsebenzi woBugcisa beVangeli, kwaye Yizani, Nindilandele). Buza abantwana bakho ukuba yintoni abayaziyo ngaba baprofeti.

• Ukuze ufundise ngoko kwenziwa ngabaprofeti, usenokukhetha imiqolo ethile eluncedo ku Yeremiya 1, njengo mqolo 5, 7, 10 no 19. Abantwana bakho ngamnye banokukhetha omnye yemiqolo, bayifunde baze babelane nabanye ngento abayifundayo ngabaprofeti.

• Ngelixa ufunda UYeremiya 16:16, abantwana bakho basenokwenza ngathi ”bayaloba” okanye “bazingela” izinto ezisegumbini. UMongameli uRussell M. Nelson uthelekise abalobi nabazingeli kulo mqolo nabafundisi bevangeli (bona “The Gathering of Scattered Israel,” Liyahona, EyeNkanga 2006, 81). Benza ntoni abafunidisi bevangeli?

• Ukuphonononga le miqolo, usenokuxoxa okanye ubonise indlela ezenziwe ngayo izinto ezenziwe ngodongwe (jonga umfanekiso osekupheleni kolu lwandlalo). Myalezo mni wethu enawo iNkosi ku Yeremiya 18:1–6? Kuthetha ntoni ukuba ludongwe ezandleni zeNkosi? (bona kananjalo UIsaya 64:8). Ngelinye ibali elisithelekisa nodongwe lombumbi, bona umyalezo kaMdala uRichard J. Maynes “The Joy of Living a Christ-Centered Life” (Liyahona, EyeNkanga 2015, 27–30).
