Iziboshwa Zethemba Izinkondlo Ngokuba uJehova uyabalalela abampofu, futhi akazideleli iziboshwa zakhe. IHubo 69:33 Ukububula kwesiboshwa makufike phambi kwakho; londoloza labo abamiselwe ukufa ngobukhulu bamandla akho; IHubo 79:11 Lokhu kuyakubhalelwa isizukulwane esizayo; abantu abazodalwa bayakumdumisa uJehova. Ngokuba ubheke phansi esekuphakameni kwendlu yakhe engcwele; uJehova wabuka umhlaba esezulwini, ukuze ezwe ukububula kweziboshwa, akhulule labo abamiselwe ukufa; IHubo 102:18-20 Khipha umphefumulo wami etilongweni, ukuze ngidumise bayakungizungeza, ngokuba uyangiphatha kahle. IHubo 142:7

Ubusisiwe lowo osizo lwakhe lukaNkulunkulu kaJakobe, othemba lakhe likuJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe: Owenza izulu nomhlaba, nolwandle, nakho konke okukuwo; ogcina iqiniso kuze kube phakade; owenzela abacindezelweyo ukwahlulela; opha abalambileyo ukudla. UJehova uyabakhulula iziboshwa: IHubo 146:5-7
Abaprofethi Usho kanje uNkulunkulu uJehova, owadala amazulu, wawelula, owendlala umhlaba nakho konke okuphuma kuwo, onika abantu abakuwo ukuphefumula, nomoya kwabahamba kuwo, uthi: Mina Jehova ngikubizile ngokulunga, ngiyakubamba isandla sakho, ngikugcine, ngikunike isivumelwano sabantu, nokukhanya kwabezizwe; ukuvula amehlo ayizimpumputhe, ukukhipha iziboshwa etilongweni, nabahlezi ebumnyameni etilongweni. Isaya 42:5-7 UMoya weNkosi uJehova uphezu kwami; ngokuba uJehova ungigcobile ukuba ngishumayele izindaba ezinhle kwabampofu; ungithumile ukubopha abanhliziyo ezaphukileyo, ukumemezela ukukhululwa kwabathunjiweyo nokuvulwa kweziboshwa; Isaya 61:1 Nawe, ngegazi lesivumelwano sakho ngikhiphe iziboshwa zakho emgodini lapho kungekho manzi khona. Buyelani esigodlweni, nina ziboshwa ezinethemba; ngisho nanamuhla ngiyamemezela ukuthi ngizokubuyisela okuphindwe kabili kini; Zakariya 9:11-12
AmaVangeli Khona-ke iNkosi iyakuthi kubo abangakwesokunene sayo: Wozani, nina enibusisiwe nguBaba, nidle ifa lombuso eniwulungiselweyo kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba.

INkosi iyakuphendula ithi kubo: Ngiqinisile

ngithi kini: Njengoba nikwenzile komunye walaba bafowethu abancane, nikwenzile kimi. Mathewu 25:34-40 Wayesethi kubo: “Isizwe siyakuvukela isizwe, nombuso uvukele umbuso: Kuyakuba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu ezindaweni ngezindawo, nendlala, nezifo; kube khona izinto ezesabekayo nezibonakaliso ezinkulu ezivela ezulwini. Kodwa ngaphambi kwakho konke lokhu, bayakunibamba, banishushise, baninikele emasinagogeni nasematilongweni, niyiswe phambi kwamakhosi nababusi ngenxa yegama lami; kuyakuniphendukela kube ngubufakazi.” Luka 21:10-13
IzEnzo Kwase kusukuma umpristi omkhulu nabo bonke ababenaye, okuyihlelo labaSadusi, bagcwala intukuthelo, babeka izandla zabo kubaphostoli, babafaka etilongweni lomphakathi. Kepha ingelosi yeNkosi yavula iminyango yetilongo ebusuku, yabakhipha, yathi: “Hambani, nime, nikhulume ethempelini kubantu amazwi onke alokhu kuphila.” IzEnzo 5:17-20 Ngakho uPetru wayegcinwe etilongweni; kepha ibandla lamthandazela kuNkulunkulu ngokungaphezi. Kwathi uHerode esefuna ukumkhipha, ngalobo busuku uPetru wayelele phakathi kwamabutho amabili, eboshiwe ngamaketanga amabili; nabalindi phambi komnyango babelinda itilongo. Bheka, ingelosi yeNkosi yafika kuye, kwakhanya etilongweni; yamshaya uPetru ohlangothini, yamvusa, yathi: “Vuka masinyane.” Amaketanga akhe awela ezandleni zakhe. Kepha wababiza ngesandla ukuba bathule, wabatshela ukuthi iNkosi imkhiphe kanjani etilongweni. Wathi: “Hambani nibikele uJakobe nabazalwane lokhu.” Wahamba waya kwenye indawo. IzEnzo 12:5-7,17 Kwathi sebebashaye imivimbo eminingi, babaphonsa etilongweni, bayala umgcini wejele ukuba abagcine ngokuphepha. Kwathi esethole umyalo onjalo, wabaphonsa etilongweni elingaphakathi, wabopha izinyawo zabo ezingongolweni. Kwathi phakathi kwamabili uPawulu noSila bakhuleka, bahlabelela izingoma zokudumisa uNkulunkulu; iziboshwa zabezwa. Kwase kuba khona ukuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu, kwaze kwazamazama izisekelo zetilongo; kwavuleka masinyane iminyango yonke, kwathukululwa izibopho zabo bonke. Umgcini wetilongo evuka ebuthongweni, ebona iminyango yetilongo ivulekile, wahosha inkemba yakhe, wafuna ukuzibulala, ethi iziboshwa zibalekile. Kepha uPawulu wamemeza ngezwi elikhulu, wathi: “Ungazilimazi, ngokuba sonke silapha.” Wayesebiza isibani, wagxuma, weza ethuthumela, wawa phambi kukaPawulu noSila, wabakhipha, wathi: “Madoda, ngimelwe ukwenzani ukuze ngisindiswe na?” Bathi: “Kholwa yiNkosi uJesu Kristu, yikhona uzakusindiswa wena nendlu yakho.” Base bekhuluma izwi leNkosi kuye nakubo bonke ababesendlini yakhe. Wabathatha ngalo lelo hora lobusuku, wabageza imivimbo yabo; wabhapathizwa khona lapho, yena nabo bonke abakhe. Wabangenisa endlini yakhe, wababekela ukudla, wajabula, ekholwa nguNkulunkulu kanye nendlu yakhe yonke. IzEnzo 16:23-34
Izincwadi Ingabe bayizikhonzi zikaKristu? (Ngikhuluma njengesiwula) mina ngingaphezu kwabo bonke; ekukhandlekeni okukhulu kakhulu, ekushayweni okungaphezu kwesilinganiso, ematilongweni kaningi, ekufeni kaningi. 2 Korinte 11:23 Ngakho-ke mina siboshwa seNkosi ngiyanincenga ukuba nihambe ngokufanele ukubizwa enabizwa ngakho, ngokuthobeka konke nobumnene, ngokubekezela, nibekezelelane ngothando, nizama ukugcina ubunye bukaMoya ngesibopho sokuthula. Kwabase-Efesu 4:1-3

Ngakho-ke ungabi namahloni ngobufakazi beNkosi yethu, noma ngami isiboshwa sayo; kodwa hlanganyela ekuhluphekeni kwevangeli ngamandla kaNkulunkulu, owasisindisa, wasibiza ngobizo olungcwele, kungengokwemisebenzi yethu kodwa ngokwecebo lakhe nomusa wakhe, esawuphiwa kuKristu Jesu ngaphambi kwezwe, kepha manje usubonakalisiwe ngokubonakala koMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu, owachitha ukufa, walethela ukuphila nokungafi ekukhanyeni ngevangeli: engamiswa kulo ukuba ngibe ngumshumayeli, nomphostoli, nomfundisi wezizwe. 2 Thimothewu 1:8-11 UPawulu, isiboshwa sikaJesu Kristu, noThimothewu umfowethu, kuFilemoni othandekayo nesisebenzi kanye nathi, kodwa ngenxa yothando ngiyakuncenga kakhulu, njengoba nginjengoPawulu osekhulile, manje futhi ngiyisiboshwa sikaJesu Kristu. KuFilemoni 1:1,9 Ungesabi lokho ozakuhlupheka ngakho; bheka, uDeveli uzakuphonsa abanye kini etilongweni, ukuze nilingwe; futhi niyakuba nosizi izinsuku eziyishumi; thembeka kuze kube sekufeni, futhi ngizokunika umqhele wokuphila. IsAmbulo 2:10
