NGYINADOSƐM 1: ‘YƐMFA ENYIDZI MMA HƐNHO’
Obi a ɔyɛ ɔboafo pa no, ofi ahobrɛadze mu bu ne mfɛfo edwumayɛfo dɛ wɔsom bo, na ɔnnyɛ biribiara a ɔkyerɛ dɛ ɔbɔ noho mbɔdzen kyɛn hɔn. Jesus sũaa ahobrɛadze su a ɔtse dɛm fii n’Egya hɔ. Yenyim dɛ Jehovah nkotsee na ɔfata dɛ wɔfrɛ no Ɔbɔadze, naaso ɔmaa yehun dwuma a ne Ba no dzii boaa no aber a nna ɔrobɔ adze no. Yehu iyi wɔ asɛm a Nyankopɔn kãe yi mu. Ɔkãa dɛ, ma “yɛnyɛ nyimpa wɔ hɛn su do.” (Gen. 1:26) Asɛm a Jehovah kãe yi maa Jesus hun dɛ ɔbrɛ noho adze.—Ndw. 18:35.
Jesus baa asaase do no, noara so brɛɛ noho adze. Aber a afofor kamfoo no wɔ dza ɔyɛe ho no, ɔdze ayɛyi no maa Jehovah. (Mark 10:17, 18; John 7:15, 16) Jesus nye n’esuafo no tsenaa asomdwee mu, na obuu hɔn dɛ n’anyɛnkofo na mbom nnyɛ nkowaa. (John 15:15) Ɔhohoor hɔn anan ho mpo dze kyerɛɛ hɔn dɛ ɔwɔ dɛ wɔbrɛ hɔnho adze. (John 13:5, 12-14) Hɛn so, ɔnnsɛ dɛ yebu hɛnho dɛ yɛkyɛn hɛn mfɛfo edwumayɛfo, mbom ɔwɔ dɛ yedzi hɔn nyi. Sɛ yɛdze enyidzi ma afofor, na yaammper annhwehwɛ enyimnyam a, yebotum ayɛ pii wɔ Jehovah no som mu.—Rom. 12:10.
Obi a ɔbrɛ noho adze no san gye to mu dɛ “egyinatufo dodow” mu na wosi asɛm pi. (Mbɛ. 15:22) Ɔmmfa ho suahu a yɛwɔ, anaa dza yetum yɛ no, ɔwɔ dɛ yɛkaa dɛ nyansa nnyi ɔbaakofo ne tsirmu. Jesus mpo gyee too mu dɛ nna ndzɛmba bi wɔ hɔ a onnyim. (Matt. 24:36) Afei so, nna ɔpɛ dɛ ohu dza n’esuafo no nyim, ntsi nna ɔyɛ a ɔma hɔn kwan ma wɔkyerɛ hɔn adwen wɔ nsɛm bi ho. (Matt. 16:13-16) Iyi ntsi, nna hɔn a wɔnye no bɔ mu yɛ edwuma no enyi gye! Hɛn so sɛ yɛbrɛ hɛnho adze na yɛgye to mu dɛ nnyɛ biribiara na yebotum ayɛ a, yɛbɛgye afofor hɔn adwenkyerɛ ato mu. Iyi bɛma yɛnye hɔn atsena asomdwee mu, na yeetum nye hɔn ayɛ pii.

NGYINADOSƐM 2: “HOM MMA NYIMPA NYINA NHU HOM” NTSEASEE
Obi a ɔyɛ ɔboafo pa no, sɛ ɔnye afofor ridzi a, ɔda ntseasee edzi. Ɔnnyɛ katsee, mbom ɔgye afofor hɔn adwenkyerɛ to mu. Jesus nyaa ho kwan pii hun mbrɛ n’Egya daa ntseasee edzi. Dɛ nhwɛdo no, Jehovah somaa no ma ɔbɛgyee adasamba fii owu mu.—John 3:16.

(Matt. 15:22-28) Afei so, ɔdaa ntseasee edzi wɔ dza nna ɔhwɛ kwan dɛ n’esuafo no bɛyɛ no ho. Aber a Peter kãe wɔ bagua mu dɛ onnyim Jesus no, ɔdze no mfom kyɛɛ no. Ekyir yi, Jesus dze asodzi ahorow a no mu yɛ dur hyɛɛ Peter ne nsa. (Luke 22:32; John 21:17; Andw. 2:14; 8:14-17; 10:44, 45) Dza Jesus yɛe no ma yehu no pefee dɛ ɔwɔ dɛ yɛtse afofor ase. Sɛ yɛyɛ dɛm a nna ‘yɛrema nyimpa nyina ehu hɛn ntseasee.’—Phil. 4:5.
Afei so sɛ yɛda ntseasee edzi a, ɔbɔboa hɛn ma yeetum nye nyimpa ahorow nyina ayɛ edwuma asomdwee mu. Jesus nye hɔn a nna wɔbɛn no no dzii no yie. Iyi ntsi n’atamfo no mpo kãa dɛ ɔyɛ “atowgyefo nye ndzebɔnyɛfo nyɛnko.” Dɛm atowgyefo nye ndzebɔnyɛfo yi na wotsiee Matt. 11:19) Ana hɛn so yebotum esũasua Jesus, na yɛnye afofor aabɔ mu ayɛ edwuma?

NGYINADOSƐM 3: FI WO PƐ MU KYƐ ADZE
Obi a ɔyɛ ɔboafo pa no, ofi ne pɛ mu kyɛ adze. (1 Tim. 6:18) Jesus nye n’Egya bɔɔ mu yɛɛ edwuma no, ohun dɛ Jehovah ammfa biribiara eennsuma no. Aber a nna Jehovah ‘risiesie ɔsorsor no’ nna Jesus ‘wɔ hɔ’ na osũaa ndzɛmba pii fii no hɔ. (Mbɛ. 8:27) Ekyir yi Jesus nankasa dze enyigye kãa “ndzɛmba” a osũae fii n’Egya hɔ no bi ho asɛm kyerɛɛ n’esuafo no. (John 15:15) Yebotum esũasua Jehovah no nhwɛdo no na yɛnye hɛn nuanom akyɛ nyimdzee na suahu a yɛwɔ no. Ampaara, ɔboafo pa mmfa biribi a no nuanom behia anaa ɔbɔboa hɔn no nnkam hɔn. Ɔnnyɛ dɛm mmfa nnkyerɛ dɛ ɔno na odzi hɔn do anaadɛ wɔhyɛ n’ase. Mbom, n’enyi bɛgye ho dɛ ɔnye afofor bɛkyɛ ndzɛmba pa a oesũa anaa onyim no.
Afei so, yebotum ahyɛ hɛn nuanom nkuran. Sɛ onua bi hu mbɔdzen a yɛbɔ na ofi n’akoma mu kamfo hɛn a, ana ɔnnka hɛn akoma anaa? Jesus kamfoo n’esuafo no wɔ mbɔdzen a nna wɔbɔ no ho. (Fa toto Matthew 25:19-23; Luke 10:17-20 ho.) Ɔkãa kyerɛɛ n’esuafo no mpo dɛ wɔbɛyɛ ndwuma akɛse ‘akyɛn’ dza ɔyɛe no. (John 14:12) Anafua a adze rebɛkye ma Jesus ewu no, ɔkãa kyerɛɛ n’asomafo anokwafo no dɛ: “Hom nye hɔn a hom ada ho aka mo ho wɔ mo nsɔhwɛ mu.” (Luke 22:28) Ɔwodze twa ho mfonyin hwɛ. Obotum aba dɛ, asɛm a Jesus kãa kyerɛɛ n’esuafo yi kaa hɔn akoma na ɔmaa wɔyeer hɔnho wɔ esuafoyɛ edwuma no mu! Hɛn so, sɛ yɛgye ber kamfo hɛn nuanom a, ɔda edzi kofee dɛ, hɔn enyi bɛgye na wɔaayɛ pii wɔ esuafoyɛ edwuma no mu.
