UHoseya 1–6; 10–14; UYoweli

Inkosikazi kaHoseya, uGomere, yayinganyanisekanga kuye, kwaye uThixo wakhomba kwesi siganeko sibuhlungu ukufundisa amaSirayeli ngendlela Yena awayeziva ngayo malunga nawo neminqophiso yawo naYe. Njengoko ufunda UHoseya 1–3, cingisisa ngendlela iNkosi ebujonga ngayo ubudlelwane baYo nabantu baYo bomnqophiso. Ukwenza umnqophiso neNkosi kufana njani nokungena emtshatweni? Ukusilela ukuwugcina la mnqophiso kufana njani nokungathembeki kwiqabane lomtshato? (bona UHoseya 2:5–7, 13). Ukufundisa ntoni UHoseya 2:14–23 ngothando nenceba yeNkosi? Ingaba wena uyibonisa njani Yona uthando nokunyaniseka kwakho?

Ku Hoseya 14, khangela izithembiso ezininzi ezintle iNkosi ezenza kwabo babuyela kuYo. Ibinzana elithi “bathande ngesisa” lithetha ntoni kuwe? (umqolo 4). Izafobe zesityalo kuwo umqolo 5–8 zikufundisa ntoni ngeentsikelelo zeNkosi, kuquka iintsikelelo zenguquko? Njengenxalenye yokufunda kwakho, cinga ngokucula okanye ukumamela iculo elingenceba yoMsindisi, elifana nelithi “Come unto Jesus” (Amaculo, no. 117).

Abantu bomhla kaHoseya babenikela amadini ezilwanyana, kodwa babesaphula imithetho ebaluleke ngakumbi. Ucinga ukuba kuthetha ukuthini xa iNkosi “inononelele uthando, ayononelele umbingelelo; inonelele ukwazi uThixo ngaphezu kwamadini anyukayo”? (UHoseya 6:6). Ucinga ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba ubulungisa bufana nelifu okanye njengombethe? (bona UHoseya 6:4). Bufanele bube njani ubulungisa bethu? (bona UIsaya 48:18; 1 Nifayi 2:9–10).

Usenokufunda kananjalo UMateyu 9:10–13; 12:1–8 ukubona ukuba uMsindisi wamsebenzisa njani UHoseya 6:6 ngexesha lolungiselelo lwaKhe. Ingaba le mihlathi ikunceda njani uqonde amazwi kaHoseya?

Xa ufunda UYoweli 2:12–13, kusenokunceda ukwazi ukuba ukukrazula okanye ukukrazula kukabani impahla yakhe yayiluphawu lwangaphandle lokuzila okanye ukuzisola. Kwahluke njani ukukrazula iintliziyo zethu ekukrazuleni izambatho zenu?

Kukuphi ukufana okubonayo phakathi komhla wethu nomhla awawubona kwangaphambili uYoweli? (bona ngakumbi UYoweli 2:1–2, 11, 18–32). Yintoni ekuchukumisayo ngeentsikelelo iNkosi ezithembisileyo kuyo imiqolo 18–32? Kutheni ezi ntsikelelo zinokuxabiseka ngokukhethekileyo namhlanje?

Kusenokuba ngumdla ukufunda okwathethwa nguMoronayi ngo Yoweli 2 xa wayetyelele uJoseph Smith ngo-1823 (bona uJoseph Smith—Imbali 1:41). Uziva njani ukuba iziprofeto ezikuye UYoweli 2:28–32 zizaliseka kumhla wethu? (bona Izenzo 2:1–21). Ucinga ukuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba iNkosi yayiya “kuthulula umoya [waYo] phezu kwenyama yonke”? (UYoweli 2:28).

Ungacingisisa ngala mazwi avela kuMongameli uRussell M. Nelson: “Kwiintsuku ezizayo, akunakwenzeka ukuphila ngokwasemoyeni ngaphandle kwesikhokelo, isikhokelo, intuthuzelo, nempembelelo eqhubekayo yoMoya oyiNgcwele” (“Isityhilelo seBandla, Isityhilelo Sobomi Bethu,” Liyahona, UCanzibe 2018, 96). Kutheni isityhilelo sibalulekile ekuphileni kwakho ngokomoya?

Yintoni onokuyenza ukuba uziva ngathi awukufumani oko kuthululwa? Nantsi eminye imizekelo enokunceda. Yintoni eyenziwa ngabantu kwezi zibhalo ukuze bafumane ukuthululwa koMoya weNkosi?

• Mozaya 4:1–3, 19–20; 18:7–11

• Hilamani 6:34–36

• IMfundiso neMinqophiso 19:37–41

Njengokuba ufunda la mazwi kuMdala David A. Bednar, cingisisa ukuba kuthetha ukuthini kuwe ukuva ukuthululwa koMoya oyiNgcwele kubomi bakho bemihla ngemihla:

“Sihlala sikwenza kube nzima kuthi ukufumana isityhilelo sobuqu. Ngaloo nto ndithetha isithembiso somnqophiso sesokuba njengokuba sihlonipha iminqophiso yethu, singasoloko sinoMoya oyiNgcwele ukuba ube liqabane lethu elihlala lihleli. Kodwa sithetha ngayo kwaye siyiphatha ngokungathi ukuva ilizwi leNkosi ngoMoya waKhe sisiganeko esinqabileyo. … [UMoya] ufanele ukuba nathi ngalo lonke ixesha. Ayiyiyo yonke i-nanosecond, kodwa ukuba umntu wenza konke okusemandleni akhe—akufuneki ukuba ufezeke—kodwa ukuba wena nam senza konke okusemandleni ethu kwaye asenzi siphoso esinzulu, ngoko sinokuthembela kuMoya oyiNgcwele osikhokelayo. …

“… Sibonakala sikholelwa ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele uyamangalisa kwaye mkhulu kwaye ngequbuliso, xa usemncinci kwaye usanda ngokuhamba kwexesha” (“Elder David A. Bednar Discussion” [ngokuhlwa kunye neGunya Jikelele, Feb. 7, 2020], broadcasts.ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

3:38

• Kwincwadi kaHoseya, iNkosi yathelekisa iminqophiso yaYo nabantu baYo nomtshato. Ukufunda kulo mzekeliso, wena nabantwana bakho ningajonga umfanekiso womtshakazi nomyeni kwaye nithethe ngendlela uBawo waseZulwini afuna ukuba indoda nomfazi baphathane ngayo. Nceda abantwana bakho bafumane amagama kuye UHoseya 2:19–20 achaza indlela iNkosi eziva ngayo ngathi. Sinokuyibonisa njani iNkosi ukuba siyayithanda kwaye siya kuthembeka kuYo?

• UHoseya 10:12 ubhekisela ekuhlwayeleni, ekuvuneni, kwixesha, nakwimvula ukusimema ukuba sifune iNkosi. Njengoko ufunda lo mqolo, zeziphi iimbono zokuyila ezifikayo engqondweni ezinokuphembelela abantwana ukuba bafune Yona? Ngokomzekelo, mhlawumbi abantwana bakho bangazoba iwotshi kwaye babhale phantsi iindlela zokufuna iNkosi ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo imini yonke.

• Okanye abantwana bakho banokwenza izinto ezilula ezihambisana nomqolo, njengokuzenza ngathi batyala imbewu, bakha imifuno, okanye bame emvuleni. Nceda abantwana bakho bathelekise ukutyala imbewu nokuvuna ukutya okulungileyo nokuphila ngobulungisa nokufumana iintsikelelo zeNkosi. Emva koko ninokuxelelana ngeentsikelelo iNkosi ezinethe phezu kwenu njengokuba nizama ukuyifuna Yona.

• Ukuze ubethelele inyaniso ekuye UHoseya 13:4 yokuba akukho Msindisi ngaphandle kukaYesu Krestu, unokubonisa abantwana bakho imifanekiso yabantu abaliqela, kuquka uYesu. Abantwana bakho banokutshintshana ngokukhomba umntu onamandla okusihlangula esonweni nasekufeni. Yabelana ngobungqina bakho bukaYesu Krestu neNtlawulo yaKhe.

• Abantwana bakho banokukhangela amagama ku Hoseya 13:4, 14 achaza uYesu Krestu. La magama asifundisa ntoni ngaYe? Cinga ngokunceda abantwana bakho basebenzise ISikhokelo kwiZibhalo ukuze bafumane ezinye izibhalo ezifundisa ukuba uYesu unguMsindisi noMhlawuleli wethu. Yabelanani omnye nomnye ngendlela eniziva ngayo ngoYesu Krestu.

• Mhlawumbi unokunceda abantwana bakho baqonde UYoweli 2:28–29 ngokubavumela ukuba bagalele ulwelo baze bathelekise ukuthontsiza okanye ukuthontsiza. Kungathetha ukuthini kuMoya ukuba “uthululelwe” phezu kwethu?

• Njengoko nifunda UYoweli 2:28–29 kunye, usenokumema abantwana bakho bafake amagama abo omnye nomnye endaweni yebinzana elithi “oonyana bakho” nelithi “iintombi zakho.” Emva koko bancede baphengulule izibhalo ezinjengo Yohane 14:16; Moronayi 10:5; IMfundiso neMinqophiso 42:17 ukufumanisa ukuba uMoya ungabanceda njani.
