Ware “Awurade Mu Nko Ara” —Ɛda So Ara Yɛ Adwuma Nnɛ?
“Mennya obi nware no wɔ asafo no mu, na mesuro sɛ menyin a, mɛyɛ ankonam.”
“Mmarima bi a wɔnni asafo no mu yam ye, wɔwɔ ɔdɔ, na wɔdwene nnipa ho. Wɔnsɔre ntia me som, na wohwɛ a, wɔn ho yɛ anika sen anuanom mmarima binom.”

Ebia Kristofo a wɔkeka nsɛm a ɛte saa susuw sɛ anuanom mmaa a wɔnwaree dɔɔso sen anuanom mmarima a wɔnwaree. Ɛte saa wɔ aman pii mu.

Wokɔ Colombia nso a, Kristofo mmaa a wɔwɔ hɔ dodow yɛ ɔha mu 66, ɛnna mmarima no dodow yɛ ɔha mu 34.
Wɔ mmeae bi nso, ebia sɛ awofo a wɔnyɛ Yehowa Adansefo de wɔn mma rema aware a, wɔgye ɔbarima no sika pii anaa akyɛde akɛse ansa na wɔapene so.

Sɛ woanya adwene a ɛte saa pɛn a, wobɛtumi anya awerɛhyem sɛ Yehowa te w’asɛm no ase, na ɔnim sɛnea wote nka no ankasa.
Nanso, Bible mu deɛ, Yehowa hyɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnware Awurade mu nko ara. Adɛn ntia? Efisɛ ɔno Nehemia 13:23-26) Yehowa nim sɛ ne nkaesɛm yɛ papa, na ɛno nti na waka sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ Kristofo ware Awurade mu nko ara no. (Dwom 19:7-10; Yesaia 48:17, 18) Yɛda Yehowa ase sɛ ɔdɔ a ɔdɔ yɛn nti, wama yɛn afotu a yɛbɛtumi de yɛn ho ato so. Sɛ yɛtie Yehowa sɛ yɛn Sodifo a, yɛgye tom sɛ ɔwɔ hokwan sɛ ɔkyerɛ yɛn nea ɛsɛ sɛ yɛyɛ.
Ɛda adi pefee sɛ wompɛ sɛ wo ne wɔn a ‘wɔnnye nni twe kɔndua korɔ,’ kyerɛ sɛ, wompɛ sɛ woware obi a ɔnnɔ Yehowa. Sɛ woware obi a ɔte saa a, ɔbɛtumi ama woagyae Onyankopɔn som. (2 Korintofoɔ 6:14) Onyankopɔn afotu yɛ papa bere nyinaa, na ɛnnɛ Kristofo pii asi gyinae pa sɛ wɔbɛtie Yehowa. Nanso, afoforo asi gyinae foforo koraa.
ƐDA SO ARA YƐ ADWUMA
Onuawa bi a ɔwɔ Australia a ne din de Maggy fii ase ne ɔbarima bi a ɔnyɛ nokware Kristoni nantewee. * (Hwɛ ase hɔ asɛm no.) Onuawa no ka sɛ: “Ná metaa toto adesua mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mɛtumi ne no abɔ yiye. Ɛmaa me ne Yehowa ntam yɛɛ basaa.” Ababaa foforo wɔ India a wɔfrɛ no Ratana.

Ewiee ase no, Ratana gyaee Yehowa som kɔɔ asɔre foforo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔbɛtumi aware aberante no.
Ndenguè a ofi Cameroon waree obi a ɔnsom Yehowa bere a na wadi mfe 19. Ansa na wɔreware no, ɔbarima no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔbɛma no kwan ma wasom Yehowa. Nanso wɔwaree akyi nnawɔtwe mmienu no, ɔbarima no ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔremma ɔnkɔ asafo nhyiam. Onuawa no kaa sɛ: “Meyɛɛ ankonam, na daa na meresu. Mehuu sɛ m’asetena ayɛ basaa. Menuu me ho na medii awerɛhow bere nyinaa.”
Ɛyɛ nokware sɛ Kristofo binom aware wɔn a wɔnsom Yehowa, nanso wɔnyɛ wɔn basabasa na wɔma wɔn kwan ma wɔsom Yehowa. Nanso, sɛ wo kunu a ɔnsom Yehowa nyɛ wo basabasa mpo a, ɛbɛka abusuabɔ a wo ne Yehowa wɔ no sɛn? Sɛ wohu sɛ woantie Yehowa afotu a ɛbɛma w’ani agye a, akyiri yi, wobɛte nka sɛn? Nea ɛho hia sen biara no, Yehowa bɛbu nea woayɛ no sɛn?
Anuanom mmarima ne mmaa a wɔwɔ wiase nyinaa a wɔatie Yehowa afotu a ɛka sɛ yɛnware “Awurade mu nko ara” no gye di paa sɛ wɔasi gyinae a ɛyɛ sen biara. Anuanom mmarima ne mmaa a wɔnwaree asi wɔn bo sɛ wɔbɛware obi a ɔsom Yehowa ama Yehowa ani agye. Michiko a ofi Japan abusuafo ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnware obi a ɔnnɔ Yehowa, nanso na wasi ne bo sɛ ɔbɛtie Onyankopɔn. Sɛ ohu sɛ ne nnamfonom reware nokware Kristofo nanso ɔno deɛ ɔnyaa kunu a, na ɛhaw no. Ɔka sɛ: “Ná metaa ka sɛ esiane sɛ Yehowa yɛ ‘anigyeɛ Nyankopɔn’ nti, ɛnyɛ aware a yɛbɛware nko ara na ɛbɛma yɛn ani agye. Megye di nso sɛ ɔma yɛn nea yɛn koma pɛ. Enti sɛ yɛpɛ sɛ yɛware na yɛnnya ɔhokafo a, ɛbɛyɛ papa sɛ yɛdi sigya kɔsi sɛ yɛbɛnya obi aware no.” (1 Timoteo 1:11) Akyiri yi, onuabarima bi a ɔbɔ ne ho mmɔden wɔ asafo no mu waree Michiko, na n’ani agye sɛ ɔtiee Yehowa afotu.
Anuanom mmarima binom nso wɔ hɔ a wɔretwɛn sɛ wɔbɛnya obi a ɔfata aware no. Sɛ nhwɛso no, Bill a ofi Australia ka sɛ ɛtɔ mmere bi a mmaa a wɔnyɛ Adansefo kyerɛ ne ho anigye. Nanso, wamfa ne ho anhyehyɛ wɔn mu biara efisɛ na ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔne wɔn bɛbɔ na awiei koraa no, ɔne obi a ɔnnye nni ‘akɔtwe kɔndua korɔ.’ Bere rekɔ so no, ɔno nso kyerɛɛ anuanom mmaa bi ho anigye, nanso na mmaa no ani nnye ne ho. Bill twɛnee mfe 30 ansa na ɔrenya Kristoni baa bi a ɔne n’adwene hyia aware no. Ɔka sɛ: “Mennuu me ho. M’ani gye, efisɛ yɛbom kɔ asɛnka, yɛsua

Bere a woretwɛn sɛ Yehowa bɛboa wo ma woanya obi aware no no, dɛn na wobɛtumi ayɛ? Wobɛtumi asusuw nea enti a wonwaree no ho. Sɛ esiane sɛ wopɛ sɛ wotie Yehowa asɛm nti na wonwaree a, ɛnde nya awerɛhyem sɛ woama Yehowa ani agye. (1 Samuel 15:22; Mmebusɛm 27:11) Afei nso, bɔ Yehowa mpae daa, na ka wo komam asɛm kyerɛ no. (Dwom 62:8) Bere a worebɔ mmɔden ako atia sɔhwɛ ne akɔnnɔ bɔne no, wo ne Yehowa abusuabɔ mu bɛyɛ den da biara. Nya awerɛhyem sɛ Yehowa nim wo haw ne nea ɛda wo koma so nyinaa efisɛ wosom bo ma no. Ɔnhyɛɛ obiara bɔ sɛ ɔbɛma no kunu anaa ɔyere. Nanso, sɛ aware ne ade a wohia paa a, nya awerɛhyem sɛ Yehowa nim ɔkwampa a ɔbɛfa so ama woanya nea wo koma pɛ.
Ɛtɔ mmere bi a wobɛte nka te sɛ Dawid a ɔkaa sɛ: “O Yehowa, yɛ ntɛm gye me so. Me honhom asa awie. Mfa w’anim nhunta me.” (Dwom 143:5-7, 10) Mpa abaw. Twɛn Yehowa ma ɔnkyerɛ wo nea ɔpɛ sɛ woyɛ. Kenkan Bible na dwennwen nea wokenkan no ho yiye; woyɛ saa na woretie Yehowa. Wei bɛboa wo ma woahu nea Yehowa pɛ sɛ woyɛ ne sɛnea waboa n’asomfo a wɔtenaa ase tete no.

Dɛn bio na wobɛtumi ayɛ na ama w’ani akɔ so agye na woayere wo ho ayɛ ɔsom adwuma no bere a wonwaree no? Wobɛtumi ahyɛ wo ne Yehowa abusuabɔ mu den na woabɔ mmɔden anya din pa. Wobɛtumi nso asua ayamye, ayɛ adwumaden, adi Yehowa nokware, na woatew w’anim ama afoforo. Sɛ obi ani bɛgye wɔ n’aware mu a, ɛhia sɛ ɔnya saa su ahorow yi. (Genesis 24:16-21; Rut 1:16, 17; 2:6, 7, 11; Mmebusɛm 31:10-27) Bɔ wo ho mmɔden wɔ asɛnka adwuma no mu, na yere wo ho wɔ asafo no mu. Sɛ woyɛ saa a, na worehwehwɛ Ahenni no kan. Wei bɛbɔ wo ho ban, na ɛbɛboa wo ma woasisi gyinae pa. Bill ka sɛ bere a ɔnwaree no, “Bere kɔɔ ntɛmntɛm! Mede saa bere no yɛɛ akwampae adwuma de som Yehowa.”
Yehowa ahyɛde a ɛka sɛ “Awurade mu nko ara” na yɛnware no bere ntwaam. Sɛ yɛware nokware Kristoni a, yɛhyɛ Yehowa anuonyam, na yɛn ani bɛgye. Bible ka sɛ: “Anigyeɛ ne onipa a ɔsuro Yehowa.
