ZINZIE
Zinzie's family
are Jehovah’s Witnesses.
On Saturday
mornings, her parents took her out in the ministry. On some Saturdays after the
preaching work, her parents took her out for lunch.
Zinzie like to
go out in the ministry at times but she does not like the ministry very much.
She goes to
preaching with her family because she does not want to stay home on her own.
When her dad asked her if she would like to do lots of ministry when she grows
up she said no.
One day when
the family was preparing to go out to teach people about JEHOVAH and his
promise to bring paradise, Zinzie said she did not want to go.
Her parents
left her at home and went out to study the bible with their neighbours. Now she
is at home on her own when the doorbell rang.
Zinzie answered
and opened the door.
She saw another
witness family who were doing door to door witnessing in her estate. The man,
his wife, and their little daughter - Kele, introduced themselves to Zinzie and
explained to her that they have come to teach her about JEHOVAH using the
bible.
Zinzie told
them that she already know JEHOVAH and studies the bible. Then Kele the little
girl asked her why she did not go out with her parents to go teach other kids
what she have learned about J. The Pal family left after speaking with her.
When her
parents returned, they noticed that Zinzie was a bit calm. Her mum asked her if
she is alright, Zinzie said she was fine. Why are you so calm then? Did
something happen, while we were away?
A little girl
came to preach to me with her parents. What did you tell the little girl? Her
mum asked. I told her that I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. What did say to
that? She asked me why then did I not go out in the ministry. What did you say
to that? I did not say anything I kept quiet.
On another day
when her parents were going out to conduct bible studies, she also stayed home
saying she did not want to go out in the ministry. Soon after her parents left,
the doorbell rang. Zinzie answered and opened the door.
This time it
was an angel sent by JEHOVAH to visit her. When Zinzie saw the angel she was
very scared and wanted to close the door quickly. However, the angel told her
to calm down; he said he had just come to talk to her about the preaching work.
The angel said - can I come in? Zinzie said - yes, please come in.
She gave the
angel a chair to sit down; she also gave him a glass of juice to drink. When
both of they are relaxed, the angel said to Zinzie –
Do you know why
JEHOVAH asked his friends who are Witnesses to go out regularly to teach people
the bible? Zinzie said no. The angel explained to her why – JEHOVAH want
everyone to study the bible so they will learn about J, the kind of person he
is, and the good things he promised to people. Do you know some of the things
that JEHOVAH said he will do for people here on earth? Yes, he said he will
.........
Very good!
Now are there
other things he promised for people here on earth? Food, health, friends,
beautiful parks, more knowledge of J, good work, build your own house........
Waoh!! Said
Zinzie.
Would you like
to live in a place like that? Yes please, yes please!
What kind of
people do you think that JEHOVAH will allow to live in such a lovely place?
Umm ...
do you think JEHOVAH has asked this people to do something before he
will bring them into this paradise?
Yes. What did
he ask them to do?
Preach, be a good girl at home and at school,
attend meetings regularly at the K/H, and obey mummy and daddy.
What does it
mean to obey JEHOVAH, mummy, and daddy?
Do those things they have asked me to do. Now
are you doing them?
No. Ok, do you
think that JEHOVAH will allow you to get into this very nice place if you are
not obeying him or your parents or even the teacher? No.
Would you like to live in paradise then? Yes.
What do you think you should do now? Listen to JEHOVAH and my parents, and then
obey. Will you do so? Yes, I will. If you did, JEHOVAH will allow you to live
in paradise
The angel gave
Zinzie a hug and left.
When her
parents returned, they noticed that Zinzie was a bit calm. Her mum asked her if
she is alright, Zinzie said she was fine. Why are you so calm then? Did
anything happen while we were out in the ministry?
An angel came
to see you? Asked her dad. Yes daddy! What happened? What did the angel say?
Zinzie then
told her parents about the visit from the angel.
Her parents
gave her a hug and told her everything will be alright
The next time her parents prepares to go out in the preaching work
Zinzie got ready too and went with them.
Zinzie never missed out in the ministry again
