Ixesha lokufunda: imizuzu emi-19

“Kwaziswa nabantwana kuYesu; kufuneka abasikelele. Kodwa abafundi babachasa kabukhali. Akukubona oku uYesu, wacaphuka. ‘Bayekeni abantwana beze kum!’ watsho kubafundi bakhe. 'Musa ukubanqanda! Kuba ubukumkani bukaThixo bubobabo banjalo... Wabawola aba bantwana, wababeka izandla phezu kwabo, wabasikelela.” ( Marko 10,13:16-XNUMX ) Waza wabawola aba bantwana, wababeka izandla phezu kwabo.

»Utshaba lunelungelo kubantwana njengexhoba lalo. Abazenzekeli phantsi kobabalo kwaye abanawo amava wamandla kaYesu okucoca. Imikhosi yobumnyama inokufikelela kuzo; Kodwa abanye abazali abakhathazeki kwaye babanike inkululeko epheleleyo. Abazali banomsebenzi obalulekileyo apha: Banokubabonisa abantwana babo ikhondo elilungileyo baze babancede bakholose ngokhokelo lukaThixo. Xa bezisa abantwana babo kuThixo, banokucela intsikelelo yakhe. Ngemigudu ethembekileyo nengadinwayo yabazali, ngemithandazo yabo yentsikelelo nobabalo kubo, amandla eengelosi ezikhohlakeleyo aphulwa, umsinga ongcwele wentsikelelo uthululwa phezu kwabantwana kwaye amandla obumnyama kufuneka ayeke. (Uphononongo kunye ne-Herald, Matshi 28, 1893)
“Nina bomama, yizani kuYesu namaxhala enu! Apho uya kufumana ubabalo olwaneleyo lokukhathalela abantwana bakho. Ucango luvulekile kuye wonke umama onqwenela ukubeka umthwalo wakhe ezinyaweni zoMsindisi. Lowo wathi, “Bayekeni abantwana beze kum, ningabaleli,” usabamema oomama ukuba bazise kuye abantwana babo ukuze abasikelele. Nosana olusezandleni zikanina lungaphila phantsi komthunzi kaSomandla ngokholo lukamama othandazayo. UYohane umbhaptizi wayezaliswe nguMoya oyiNgcwele kwasekuzalweni kwakhe. Njengoko siphila kubudlelwane noThixo, nathi sinokuthemba ukuba uMoya oyiNgcwele ubumba abancinci bethu kwanakwixesha labo lokuqala."Umnqweno WamaXesha Adala, 512)

»UThixo uphathise ootata noomama umsebenzi wokusindisa abantwana babo kutshaba. Lo ngumsebenzi wabo kwaye ubaluleke kakhulu. Abazali abanolwalamano oluphilayo noMesiya abayi kuphumla de bazi ukuba abantwana babo bakhuselekile emhlambini. Uya kukwenza oku kube ngumsebenzi wobomi bakho. "Ubungqina 7, 10)

»Yiza ngentobeko, ngentliziyo ezele bububele, kunye nokuqonda izilingo kunye neengozi ezizayo kuwe nakubantwana bakho. Ithemba lakho liqhina eliya kubophelela abantwana bakho esibingelelweni. Funani apho inyameko kaYehova. Iingelosi ezigciniweyo ziya kukhapha abantwana abangcwaliselwe kuThixo. Abazali abangamaKristu banomsebenzi wokurhangqa udonga olukhusela abantwana babo kusasa nangokuhlwa ngomthandazo onyanisekileyo nokuthembela ngokuqinileyo. Bacacisele yonke into ngomonde, ubenzele ububele nomonde ukuba bangaphila ngendlela ekholisa uThixo.”Ubungqina 1, 397, 398)

Lisekho ithemba ngabantwana bam?

Ukuba abazali balangazelela utshintsho kusapho lwabo, ndiyabamema ukuba bazingcwalise ngokupheleleyo kuThixo. UYehova uya kuceba iindlela neendlela zokuguqula iinguqu ezinzulu ezindlwini zabo.”Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 172)

Ingekafiki imini enkulu eyoyikekayo kaYehova, ndiya kuthumela kuni uEliya umprofeti. Uya kuyiguqulela intliziyo yooyise kubantwana, neentliziyo zabantwana kooyise, ukuze, ndakuba ndifikile, ndingaliphambuki ilizwe.”— Malaki 3,23.24:XNUMX, XNUMX .

“Zilungiseleleni ukuza kweNkosi. Namhlanje lixesha lamalungiselelo. Zilungiseni iintliziyo zenu, nibasebenzele abantwana benu; Ukuzinikela ngentliziyo epheleleyo kuThixo kuya kuyidiliza imiqobo ekudala ilugatya ubabalo lwasezulwini. Ukuba uthabatha umnqamlezo uze ulandele uYesu, ukuba uvisisanisa ubomi bakho nentando kaThixo, abantwana bakho baya kuguquka.”Uphononongo kunye ne-Herald, Julayi 15, 1902)

Kodwa uYehova ubathuthuzele, uthi, Musani ukulila nokukhalaza, ngokuba ayisayi kuba lilize into eniyenzele oonyana benu. oonyana bakho baya kubuyela kuwe bevela ezweni lotshaba; utsho uYehova. ‘Kusekho ithemba ngekamva, ngenxa yokuba abantwana bakho babuyela ezweni labo.’ ( Yeremiya 31,16.17:XNUMX, XNUMX

“Uthi ke wena, ‘Akunakuthatha amaxhoba enkosi, okanye uthimbe abathinjwa kuzwilakhe!’ Kodwa mna, Yehova, ndiyathembisa ukuba kuya kwenzeka kanye oko! Ixhoba liya kuhluthwa kuzwilakhe, nomlawuli oligorha alahlekelwe lixhoba lakhe. Nabani na okuhlaselayo ndiya kumhlasela. Mna ndiya kubahlangula abantwana bakho.”— Isaya 49,24.25:XNUMX, XNUMX .

“Isandla sakhe asisifutshane ukuba singasindisi; nendlebe yakhe yaba buthuntu, ukuba angeva; Ukuba abazali abangamaKristu bamfuna ngokunyanisekileyo, wobeka amazwi amaninzi emilonyeni yabo, yaye ngenxa yegama lakhe uya kubasebenzela nzima ukuze abantwana babo baguquke.”Ubungqina 5, 322)

Ukuba awukalufezi uthumo lwakho kusapho lwakho, xela izono zakho kuThixo. Qokelela abantwana bakho kwaye uvume ukusilela kwakho. Baxelele ukuba ufuna ukuhlengahlengisa ubomi bosapho lwakho kwaye ubacele ukuba bakuncede wenze ikhaya lakho libe yinto ekufanele ukuba yiyo. Bafundele imiyalelo efumaneka kwiLizwi likaThixo ngokuphathelele oku. Thandaza kunye nabo; yaye ucela uThixo ukuba asindise ubomi babo aze abancede ukuze balungele ukuphila kwintsapho yasezulwini. Le yindlela inguquko enokuqalisa ngayo. Ukususela ngoko qhubekani nihamba endleleni kaYehova.”Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 557, 558)

[Inqaku lomqokeleli: Ukuba wenze iimpazamo ezinzulu ekukhuleni kwakho, zinokulungiswa. Abantwana bethu babeneminyaka engama-22, 21 kunye ne-13 ubudala xa safumana inguquko yokwenene ngokwethu. Saya ebantwaneni bethu sabaxelela ukuba soyisakele ngeendlela ezininzi. Sacela uxolo kuye. Kungelo xesha kuphela apho uYehova wayenokuthi ngokwenene asebenze ezintliziyweni zabantwana bethu.]

Yinyani, yakhiwe, iatmospheri

»Yiba yinyani kubantwana bakho kwaye unyaniseke kubo. Sebenza ngenkalipho nangomonde. Musa ukuwoyika umnqamlezo, musa ukulibala ixesha okanye umzamo, umthwalo okanye intlungu. Ikamva labantwana bakho liya kutyhila uhlobo lokuzinikela kwakho. Akukho nto ilunge ngakumbi ekubonakaliseni ukunyaniseka kwakho kuMesiya kunesimilo esilungeleleneyo sabantwana bakho.”Ubungqina 5, 40)

»Usapho olwakhiwe kakuhle, oluqeqeshwe kakuhle luthetha kakhulu ngokuba ngumKristu ngaphezu kwazo zonke iintshumayelo ezisehlabathini.« (Ikhaya lama-Adventist, 32)

»UbuKristu bakho bulinganiswa nesimo sobomi bosapho lwakho. Ubabalo loMthanjiswa lwenza bonke abantu bakwazi ukwenza amakhaya abe yindawo yolonwabo—ezaliswe luxolo nenzolo. Kuphela ukuba nithe nathambisa ngoMoya kaYesu, ningabakhe.”Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 48)

"Indlela oziphatha ngayo ekhaya yindlela ezikuchaza ngayo iincwadi zezulu. Nabani na oya kuba ngcwele ezulwini wayengowokuqala apha - kwintsapho yakhe."Ikhaya lama-Adventist, 317)

“UThixo unethemba lokuba uya kuzingcwalisa ngokupheleleyo kuye kwaye usasaze ubuyena bakhe kwisangqa sosapho lwakho.” (Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 481)

Eyona mpembelelo inamandla: umzekelo wethu

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , umzekelo, ngokuba ngumzekelo ekuthetheni kwenu, kuyo yonke ihambo yenu, ekuthembekeni kwenu kuThixo, nasekuhlambulukeni komphefumlo.” ( 1 Timoti 4,12:XNUMX, XNUMX;

"Bambalwa abazali abayiqondayo indlela ebaluleke ngayo impembelelo yobomi babo bobuthixo, obungumzekelo kubantwana babo...Akukho nto, ayikho enye indlela, ephumelelayo ekubakhokelela kwicala elifanelekileyo."Uphononongo kunye ne-Herald, ngo-Oktobha 12, 1911)

“Bazali, philani ubomi bomthanjiswa ekhaya, kwaye inguqulelo eya kwenzeka kubomi babantwana benu iya kungqina amandla kaThixo okwenza imimangaliso.” (Uphononongo kunye ne-Herald, Julayi 8, 1902)

Fundisa ngothando

“Boyise, baphatheni abantwana benu ngokokude bangabi nasizathu sakunivukela; kodwa nihambe nabo ekukhuleni kwabo nikuqeqesho novuselelo lweNkosi.”— Efese 6,4:XNUMX .

»Njengombingeleli wekhaya, ubawo ubaphatha ngobubele nangomonde abantwana bakhe. Uyaqinisekisa ukuba akadali mfazwe kubo. Akaluhoyi ulwaphulo-mthetho okanye ukuziphatha kakubi. Kodwa kukho indlela yokuba nempembelelo engazivusi iinkanuko zentliziyo yomntu. Uthetha ngothando kubantwana bakhe kwaye abaxelele indlela isimilo sabo esibuhlungu ngayo kuMsindisi. Wandula ke aguqe kunye nabo aze abazise kuMesiya, ecela ukuba uThixo abe nenceba aze abakhokelele enguqukweni ukuze bacele ukuxolelwa. Olu hlobo lomfundi luya kuthambisa neyona ntliziyo ilukhuni.” (Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 286, 287)

Ingozi! ingozi yokwenzakala

»Abazali abaze babavise ubuhlungu abantwana babo ngokuba ngqongqo okanye bafune izinto ezigqithisileyo. Ubukhali buqhubela iintliziyo kumnatha kaSathana.” (Adventist Home, 307, 308)

»Abanye abantwana bakhawuleza balibale ukungabikho kokusesikweni okwenziwa kubo nguyise okanye unina, kodwa abanye banentambo eyahlukileyo. Awunakulibala isohlwayo esiqatha, esigqithisileyo okanye esingekho sikweni. Ngenxa yoko, bafumana ukwenzakala engqondweni kwaye baphazamiseke. "Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 249)

Lumkani, ningadeli namnye waba bancinane. Kuba ndithi kuni, Iingelosi zabo ezulwini zihlala zibubona ubuso bukaBawo osemazulwini. ”(Mt 18,10: XNUMX)

Ukuzola kunye nothando njengeyeza

»Xa abantwana belahlekelwa ukuzeyisa kwaye bathethe amazwi anomdla, ngoko njengabazali, musani ukuthetha nantoni na okwethutyana, musa ukuchasana, musa ukugweba. Ngezo zihlandlo, ukuthula kuba yigolide yaye kuya kuba negalelo ngakumbi enguqukweni kunawo nawaphi na amazwi. USathana uyavuya xa abazali bethetha rhabaxa nanomsindo ukuze bacaphukise abantwana babo. UPawulos sele elumkisile ngale nto: ‘Bazali, musani ukubacaphukisa abantwana benu, ukuze ningadangali.’ Kwanokuba baphosakele ngokupheleleyo, aninakubakhokelela kwindlela elungileyo ukuba niphelelwa ngumonde. Kunoko, ukuzola kwakho kunokubanceda babuyele kwisimo sengqondo esilungileyo.” (Uphononongo kunye ne-Herald, ngoJanuwari 24, 1907)

»Uthando lunyibilikisa wonke umkhenkce. Kodwa akukho kuthuka okanye ukukhwaza, ukucaphuka. " (Uphononongo kunye ne-Herald, Julayi 8, 1902)

"Zola kwaye ube nomonde kangangokuba baqonde uthando lwakho kubo kwiziphumo zakho." (Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 249)

»Uthando luzeka kade umsindo yaye lunobubele. Akana...ikratshi, ikratshi okanye unezothe. Uthando aluzicingeli. Akazivumeli ukuba acatshukiswe, yaye ukuba uthe wenza into embi kuye, akanakukubalela oko.”—1 Korinte 13,4.5:XNUMX, XNUMX.

Ubulali endaweni yokucaphuka

»Ungavumeli ilizwi elinomsindo, elibukhali okanye elinomsindo lidlule emilebeni yakho. Ubabalo lomthanjiswa lusondele. UMoya waKhe uyakuyilawula intliziyo yakho aze antywilisele amazwi nezenzo zakho kwindawo elungileyo. Musa ukuphulukana nesidima sakho ngokungxama, namazwi angacinganga. Qinisekisa ukuba amazwi akho anyulu, nentetho yakho ingcwele. Bonisa abantwana bakho into ofuna ukuyibona kubo" (Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 219)

“Boyise nani bomama, xa nisiva amazwi ahlabayo, bafundiseni abantwana benu ukuba bathethe kwangokunjalo. Impembelelo yoMoya oyiNgcwele iphulukene namandla awo.” (Ibid.)

»Uninzi lweengxaki zobomi, amaxhala emihla ngemihla, iingxaki, izinto ezicaphukisayo, zisisiphumo somoya ongalawulekiyo. Umoya wemvisiswano ekhaya udla ngokutshatyalaliswa ngokungxama namazwi okuthuka. Bekuya kuba ngcono kangakanani ukuba bekungathethwanga!"Ubungqina 4, 348)

»Musa ukuphulukana nokuzibamba. Ngalo lonke ixesha gcina imodeli egqibeleleyo engqondweni. Kusisono ukuthetha ngokungenamonde nangomsindo okanye ukuqumba. Gcina isidima sakho, mela uYesu ngokuchanekileyo. Ukuthetha nje igama elibi elinye kufana nokuhlikihla iintyabu ezimbini: ngoko nangoko kudala iimvakalelo zentiyo.Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 95)

“Impendulo ethambileyo ithozamisa umsindo; ke lona ilizwi elidubulayo linyusa umsindo. ”( IMizekeliso 15,1: XNUMX )

Umonde kunye nenkuthazo endaweni yokuthethisa

»Iingelosi ziyaweva amazwi angenamonde nangenabubele athethwa kwiintsapho zethu; ungathanda ukufunda ingxelo yala mazwi angenamonde nomsindo kwiincwadi zasezulwini? Ukungabi namonde kumema utshaba lukaThixo kunye nomntu kusapho lwakho kwaye kugxothe iingelosi zikaThixo. Ukuba nithe nahlala kuMthanjiswa, naye uhleli kuni, akukho ntetho inomsindo iya kuphuma emlonyeni wenu. Botata noomama, ndiyanibongoza ngenxa kaYesu: yibani nobubele, nothando nomonde ekhaya.KwiiNdawo zaseZulwini, 99)

»Kuninzi ekufuneka sikufundile malunga nokukhulisa abantwana. Xa sifundisa abancinci izinto ezithile, akufuneki sibangxolise. Ungaze uthi: ‘Kutheni ningayenzanga nje loo nto?’ Yithi: ‘Bantwana, ncedani umama enze oku!’ okanye ‘Yizani, bantwana, sinokuyenza!’ Yibani liqabane lakhe kolu celomngeni. Kwaye xa bephumelele, badumise. "Uphononongo kunye ne-Herald, Juni 23, 1903)

"Ukubonakala kwenkoliseko, ilizwi lokukhuthaza okanye indumiso liya kuba njengokukhanya kwelanga ezintliziyweni zabo." (Ubomi BamNamhlanje, 173)

Ukuphumelela iintliziyo ngokuzithandela kunye nokutsiba kokholo

“Ubawo makavelise iimpawu ezintle entsatsheni yakhe: inkalipho, ingqibelelo, ukunyaniseka, umonde, amandla, ukusebenza nzima nokuba luncedo. Yena ngokwakhe uphila oko akucelayo kubantwana bakhe kwaye ungumzekelo wobu buhle kwindlela yakhe yokuziphatha yobudoda. Kodwa, boyise abathandekayo, musani ukubadimaza abantwana benu! Udibanisa uthando negunya, ububele kunye novelwano kunye nobunkokeli obuqinileyo. ”(Ubulungiseleli bokuPhilisa, 391)

»Yenza ulutsha luvakalelwe kukuba uyaluthemba. Uninzi luya kukucela ukuba uzibonakalise ukufanele ukuthenjwa. Ngomgaqo ofanayo, kungcono ukucela kunokuyalela; Umntu ekubhekiswa kuye ngolu hlobo ke unethuba lokuzibonakalisa ukuba unyanisekile kwimigaqo. Emva koko wenza ngokukhetha ngokukhululekileyo kwaye kungekhona ngokunyanzeliswa. "Education, 289, 290)

Nxibelelana ngezakhono ngendlela ebandakanyayo

»Injongo yemfundo kukufundisa umntwana ukuzimela. Yikhuthaze ngokuzithemba kunye nokuzibamba. Ngokukhawuleza xa eqonda unxibelelwano, uya kufuna ukufunda kuwe. Lonke unxibelelwano lwenzelwe ukubonisa umntwana ukuba le yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokwenza inkqubela. Mncede abone ukuba yonke into isebenza ngokwemithetho yaye ukuyazi kuthintela umonakalo nokubandezeleka.” (Education, 287; bona. imfundo, 263)

“Ukuba abazali bakwenza kube yeyona nto iphambili ebomini babo ukukhokela iinyawo zabantwana babo kumendo wobulungisa kwasebutsheni babo, ngoko ke baya kuziphepha iindlela ezimbi.”Ubomi BamNamhlanje, 261)

Njengoko uyiqhelisa inkwenkwe, xa athe wamkhulu, akasayi kumka...umntwana oshiywe yedwa uhlazisa unina.” ( IMizekeliso 22,6:29,15; XNUMX:XNUMX ) Umntwana okhulileyo uhlaza unina.

“Okukhona umntwana efuna ukufunda kwangethuba kubazali bakhe yaye okukhona lo mnqweno usiba mkhulu, kokukhona kuya kuba lula ngaye ukufunda kuThixo. Akukho bani unokulindela uthando nentsikelelo kaThixo ongafundanga ukuthobela imiyalelo yakhe nokuhlala eqinile esihendweni.”Oonyana neentombi, 130)

“Bomama, zabalazelani ukubakhulisa kakuhle abantwana benu kwiminyaka emithathu yokuqala yobomi. Musa ukubashiya kwiminqweno yabo kunye neminqweno yabo. Umama kufuneka acingele umntwana wakhe ngokusengqiqweni. Iminyaka emithathu yokuqala lixesha apho isebe elincinane lisabhetyebhetye. Nina bomama niyakuqonda ukubaluleka kwesisigaba sokuqala? Iziseko zibekwe apha. Ukuba le minyaka mithathu ayilunganga, njengoko ngelishwa idla ngokwenza, yenza umgudu wokulungisa ngenxa kaYesu nabantwana bakho. Ukuba uqalise ukufundisa abantwana bakho ukuzeyisa nothando lokufunda beneminyaka emithathu ubudala, yizame ngoku, nokuba kunzima ngakumbi.”Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 194)

»Abazali abaninzi ekugqibeleni baya kuba nengxelo elusizi yokunikela. Baye babatyeshela abantwana babo baza bakhulisa isimilo sabo esibi ngenxa yokuba belandela iminqweno yabo nentando yabo endaweni yezinye iindlela. Bamenze buhlungu uThixo ngokwenza oku... Abantwana bayekwa ukuba bazenzele izigqibo, bazikhulisele ngokwabo endaweni yokuba baqeqeshwe. Kucingelwa ukuba abantwana abahluphekayo abakwazi ukuqonda okanye ukuqonda kakhulu xa beneenyanga ezilishumi okanye ezilishumi elinesibini ubudala, kodwa ukuziphatha okungalunganga kunokuvela kwangethuba. Abazali abenzi nto ukuze bathintele umsindo wabo, ababathembi okanye babancede; Ngokwenza njalo, bakhuthaza ezi mvakalelo zomsindo de zande kwaye zomelele njengoko abantwana bekhula. "Uphononongo kunye ne-Herald, Matshi 28, 1893)

Ukuthintela ukuziphatha kakubi

»Bonisa abantwana bakho indlela echanekileyo ngothando. Musa ukubavumela ukuba bazingcolise ngokwabo de ube ngumsindo uze ubohlwaye. Ukulungiswa okunjalo kunceda ububi kunokuba kuhlangule kubo. Xa uye wakwenza ngokuthembeka oko unokukwenza ngabantwana, bazise kuThixo uze umcele ukuba akuncede. Mxelele ukuba uyenzile indima yakho kwaye umcele ukuba enze indima yakhe ngoku - into ongenako ukuyenza. Mcele ukuba athomalalise uthando lwabo, abenze bathantamise nobubele ngoMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele. Uya kuwuva umthandazo wakho. Uya kukuvuyela ukuyiphendula imithandazo yakho.”Uphononongo kunye ne-Herald, Matshi 28, 1893)

“Njengabafundisi-ntsapho kwiintsapho zabo, abazali bangabagcini bemithetho yasekhaya...Ukuba abantwana bavunyelwe ukuba bayophule ngokuthanda kwabo, akukho moya wobufundi endlwini. Zizuzele iintliziyo zabantwana benu, ukuze banithembe, banilandele njengabafundi. Musa ukubayeka bahambe ngeendlela zabo! Isono sisemnyango wabazali abavumela abantwana babo benze nantoni na abayifunayo. "Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 85, 86)

»Makubekho imithetho embalwa kodwa eqwalaselwe kakuhle [eklasini]. Nangona kunjalo, xa sele zisekiwe, ukuphunyezwa kwazo kufuneka kwakhona kuqinisekiswe. Xa ingqondo igqiba ukuba into ayinakuguqulwa, ifunda ukuyamkela kwaye yenze ngokufanelekileyo. Imithetho engasoloko iphunyezwa idala iminqweno, ithemba kunye nokungaqiniseki, okubangela ukungazinzi, ukucaphuka kunye nemvukelo. "Education, 290)

Abantwana bafuna ukhokelo olunokuthenjwa

“Musani ukubanika oko bafuna ukukufumana ngokukhala okanye ngokukhala, kungakhathaliseki ukuba intliziyo yenu ilangazelela kangakanani na; kuba bakuba boyisile ngale ndlela, baya kuphinda bazame kwakhona.”Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 92)

"Xa abantwana bam babebancinci, andizange ndibavumele ukuba bandikhathaze. Ndakhulisa nabanye abantwana kwintsapho yakowethu. Kodwa andizange ndibavumele aba bantwana bacinge ukuba banokungcungcuthekisa unina. Akuzange kuphume nelizwi elirhabaxa emlonyeni wam. Ndandisoloko ndizolile yaye ndinomonde. Abazange nangemini enye bayivuyele uloyiso lokundenza ndigqabhuke kube kanye. Nanini na ndicaphukile okanye ndicaphukile, ndandisoloko ndisithi: ‘Bantwana, siza kuyiyeka idlule le nto size sithule ngayo. Ngaphambi kokuba silale, sinokuphinda sizincokole.’ Ngokuhlwa babesele bezolile yaye benexesha elaneleyo lokucinga, yaye babelungile kwakhona... Kukho indlela elungileyo nephosakeleyo. Andizange ndiphakamise isandla sam kubantwana bam. Ndaqala ndathetha nabo. Ukuba baye banikezela, bayibona impazamo yabo (yaye oku kwakusoloko kunjalo xa ndithetha yaye ndithandaza kunye nabo), yaye ukuba baye bavuma (yaye babesoloko besenza oko xa ndisenza oku), ngoko sasivana kwakhona. Andizange ndiyive ngenye indlela. Xa ndithandaza kunye nabo, umkhenkce wanyibilika. Baziphosa entanyeni yam baza balila.”Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 25)

»Abantwana baneemvakalelo ezinothando. Waneliseka ngokukhawuleza kwaye ungonwabanga ngokukhawuleza. Ngokuthantamisa umzali, ngamazwi nezenzo zothando, oomama banokubophelela abantwana ezintliziyweni zabo. Yimpazamo enkulu ukuba ngqongqo nokuba ngqwabalala ebantwaneni. Uzinzo olungaguquguqukiyo nobunkokeli obunomonde nobuzolile bubalulekile ekukhulisweni kosapho ngalunye. Thetha ngokuzolileyo into oyithethayo, cinga ngenyathelo elilandelayo kwaye wenze into oyithethayo ngaphandle kokucaphuka. " (Ubungqina 3, 532)

»Abanye abazali banabantwana babo abadanisa entloko. Boyika ukwenza into abantwana babo abangayifuniyo baze banikezele kubo. Logama nje abantwana behlala phantsi kophahla lwabazali babo yaye bexhomekeke kubo, banokukhokelwa ngabo. Bazali, qhubelani phambili ngokukhawuleza kwaye nifune ukuba imilinganiselo yenu yokuziphatha iphakanyiswe.” (Ubungqina 1, 216, 217)

"Khokela usapho lwakho ngobubele, uthando kunye nothando ngelixa uhlala uqinile kwimigaqo elungileyo." (Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 263)

“Mqeqeshe unyana wakho, wokuphumza, yaye ngokukhawuleza uya kuba novuyo olungakumbi kuye.” ( IMizekeliso 29,17:XNUMX ) IZibhalo Eziphefumlelweyo ZeBhayibhile

»Asikho isiqalekiso esikhulu entsatsheni njengaxa abantwana benokwenza unothanda. Ukuba abazali benza konke abakunqwenelayo baze banikezele, kwanokuba bayazi ukuba loo nto ayibalungelanga, abantwana baya kuphulukana nayo yonke intlonelo ngabazali babo.

Balindele ukuba abantwana bakho babe ngabafundi bakho entsatsheni yakho; kodwa kwaoko funani uYehova nabo, nimcele ukuba eze kuni, abe nguKumkani wenu. Mhlawumbi abantwana bakho benze into efuna imiphumo. Kodwa ukuba usebenza nabo ngomoya kaYesu, baya kukugalela iingalo zabo entanyeni yakho; Baya kuzithoba phambi koYehova, babuqonde ubugwenxa babo. Oko kwanele. Wena ke akusekho mfuneko yokuba wohlwaywe. Masimbulele uYehova ngokusivulela indlela yokufikelela wonke umphefumlo.” ( IZe.Ukhokelo Lwabantwana, 244; bona.
