This article will focus on things we can do to always respect and trust Jehovah organization.

1. Xwɛ̀ jɛhovaa nyɔ ɓèɔ̀ nyu ma Páùn nìɛ̀ ɖé ti sɔ̀à múɛ?

 ANYTIME Jehovah give his people work to do, he expect them to do it in the way that will be organize. (1 Cor. 14:33) For example, God want for the good news to be preach all over the earth. (Matt. 24:14) So he put Jesus in charge of the work. Jesus na make sure that his people do this work in the way that it will be organize. In the first century, when they form the congregation in different-different places, they appointed elders to take the lead and direct the work. (Acts 14:23) The apostles and some experience elders in Jerusalem who make up the governing body, use to make certain decisions that all the congregations suppose to follow. (Acts 15:2; 16:4) Because the brothers and sisters obey the directions they got, “the congregations continued to be made firm in the faith and to increase in number.”—Acts 16:5.

2. Sɔìn 1919 gboɛɛ, xwɛ̀ Jehova ɖà à hwìè dà zàìn ké ɔ nì à zùùn ɖii-ɖɛ̀ nyíɛ́ nyɛ́?

2 Jehovah still organizing his people today. Since 1919, Jesus been using one small group of anointed men to organize the preaching work and provide spiritual food for his people. a (Luke 12:42) It clear that Jehovah really blessing the work they doing.—Isa. 60:22; 65:​13, 14.

3-4. (a) Poɛ̀n kà à nyu kpáná dyéɛ sepoɛ́ɖe à nì páùn jè kɛɛ ɖɛ ɖò dyí. (b) Ðɛ́ à mu ɖɔ́ɔ́ kũin dèìn ɖé cɛ̃́ɛ̀-ɖɛ̀ nìà kɛ múɛ́?

3 If we not organize, it will be hard for us to do the work Jesus gave us to do. (Matt. 28:​19, 20) For example, suppose we were not having any special territory, then anybody will just go preach anywhere they want preach. Maybe we were coming preach in some territories over and over, and not preach in other territories altogether. You can think of any other way we benefiting because we organize?

4 Just how Jesus organize his people way back, that the same way he doing it today. In this article, we will talk about the example Jesus set and how our organization following his example. We will also talk about how we can show that we trust Jehovah organization.

À KPOOƆ̀ SÍ JÍZƐ̀ NYUU-ÐƐ̀Ɔ̀ KÍÐÍÍ

5. Ðɛ́ mɔ̀ hwìè dyúáɖò kɔ̃̀ xwíníín à sí Jízɛ̀ nyuu-ɖɛ̀ɔ̀ kíɖíí kɛ́? (Jɔ̃́ɔ́ 8:​28)

5 Jesus learn what to say and what to do from his heavenly Father. Jehovah organization following Jesus example by using God Word to give us direction and help us know right from wrong. (Read John 8:28; 2 Tim. 3:​16, 17) They can remind us all the time to read and apply God Word. How we can benefit when we follow this advice?

6. Ðɛ́ mɔ̀ hwìè kpa ɖɛ ɖò kɔ̃̀ xwíníín à dyé kpáná dyììn ɖé ɓaɓoɔ cɛ̃́-cɛ̃́ múɛ́?

6 We can really benefit when we use our Christian publications to study the Bible. For example, we able to compare Bible teachings with the directions we getting from the organization. When we see that the directions we get coming from the Bible, it can make our trust in Jehovah organization strong.—Rom. 12:2.

7. Ðɛ́ mɔ̀ ɓɔ̃̀ ɓɛ́ jízɛ̀ wáɖá ma kɛ́, ké xwɛ̀ Jɛhovaa kpooɔ̀ nì ɖɛ dyúáɖòɔ̀ nyuɛ zɛ̃̀ɛ̀ kɛ́?

7 Jesus preach “the good news of the Kingdom of God.” (Luke 4:​43, 44) Jesus also tell his disciples to preach about the Kingdom. (Luke 9:​1, 2; 10:​8, 9) Today all of us who part of Jehovah organization, can preach the Kingdom message no matter where we live or the kind na responsibility we get in the organization.

8. Ðɛ́ mɔ̀ dyà-dè-kũ̀à ɖò à ɓéɖé kɛ́?

8 We get the privilege to preach the good news about God Kingdom! That not everybody get this privilege. For example, the time Jesus was on earth, he not allow the wicked spirits to preach about him. (Luke 4:41) Today too, before somebody can start going field service with Jehovah people, that person must be qualify for that privilege. We can show that we grateful for this privilege by preaching to people anywhere and anytime. Like Jesus, we want do our best to preach and teach the truth to people so it can touch their heart.—Matt. 13:​3, 23; 1 Cor. 3:6.

9. Xwɛ̀ kpooɔ̀ nyuɛ ɓɛ́ nyɔ ɓè ké Geɖepɔɔ nyɛ́nɛ́ɔ̀ dyí dyuò kɛ́?

9 Jesus teach people God name. When Jesus was praying to his heavenly Father he say: “I have made your name known.” (John 17:26) Like Jesus, Jehovah organization trying their best to help people know God name. One way the organization na do it that through the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. In this translation, they na put God name back to the right place. Now-now, you can find this whole Bible or part of it in more than 270 languages. In Appendix A4 and A5 of this translation, you will find more information about why they put God name back to the right place. In the study Bible, Appendix C give more proof that God name suppose to be in the Christian Greek Scriptures 237 times.

10. Ðɛ́ m̀ cɛ̃́ sɔ̀ìn ɖɛ ɖò ɓɛ́ màà ɖò ɓɛ́ ɔ cĩ́ ɖé Màdyámà ɓòɖòɔ̀ kɔ̃ɛɛ cɛ̃ɛ kɛɛ múɛ́?

10 Like Jesus, we want help plenty people to know God name. When one 67-year-old woman who living in Myanmar learn that God get name, she cry and say: “That the first time in my whole life for me to hear that God name Jehovah. . . You na teach me the most important thing I will ever learn.” From this experience, we can see that when people who really want serve God learn his name, it can change their life.

TƐ̀MƐ̀ÌN ZUÒ-PO-HWÒÐÒ TEE ƁÓ À KPOOƆ̀ BÌÌ

11. Xwɛ̀ ɛ́ɖɔ̀ ɓè ɓɛ́ìn zuò-po-hwòɖò tɛ̀mɛ̀ìn ɓó Jɛhovaa kpooɔ̀ bìì kɛ́? (Dyé dyí-dyé-ɖɛ̀ɔ̀ ɖekè.)

11 What one way elders can show that they trust Jehovah organization? When elders get any direction, they must take their own time to read it and apply it the best way. For example, they can get directions on how to do the meeting parts, how to pray for the congregation, and how to take care of Jesus sheep. Elders who can follow the directions they getting from the organization can help the brothers and sisters to feel that Jehovah love and care for them.

The elders can help us to trust the direction that can come from Jehovah organization (See paragraph 11) b


12. (a) Xwíníínɔ̀ nyɛ́ kɔ̃̀ jè à mɛ à nyu nyɔ ɓè nìà à nàìn nyɛɛ wuɖu kɛ́? (Híìɓúɖúù 13:​7, 17) (b) Xwíníínɔ̀ nyɛ́ kɔ̃̀ jè à mɛ gmɔ̀à nyɔ ɓè nìà à nàìn nyɛɛ kpéɖé nɔ̀mɔ̀ dyíin ɓèɔ̀ dyà kɛ́?

12 When the elders give us direction, we must be willing to follow it. When we do it, it will be easy for the brothers taking the lead to do their work. The Bible encourage us to be obedient and submissive to those who taking the lead. (Read Hebrews 13:​7, 17.) Sometime, it can’t be easy to do this one. Why? Because the brothers who taking the lead not perfect. So, when we focus on their mistakes instead of their good-good-ways, it will be like we helping our enemies. How? It will make our trust in God organization to get weak and that what our enemies want. What we can do to know and reject the lie-lie things our enemies can say?

ƁƆ́ WƆ̃̀ ƁƐ́ NYƆ TƆ̀Ɔ̀ ƁÈ KÉ NÌ ZUÒ-PO-HWÒÐÒƆ̀ KPÉÍ HWƆ̀

13. Xwɛ̀ Geɖepɔɔ mú-nyɛ-nyɔ̀ ɓè ɖà vɔ̃ ɓɛ́ wa ké ɔ kpooɔ̀ nyɛ́nɛ́ dyíin nyìnììn nyɛ́?

13 God enemies been trying to make the good-good things about Jehovah organization to look bad. For example, we na learn from the Bible that Jehovah want us to keep our body and conduct clean and to worship him the right way. He say that anybody who continue doing bad-bad things and refuse to change, they must move that person from the congregation. (1 Cor. 5:​11-13; 6:​9, 10) And we obeying this Bible command. But people who against us can make it look like we not love people, we can condemn them and we can’t allow people to do what they want do.

14. Nyɛ́ jɛ́ɛ́ nì se ɓɔ̃̀ ɓè ɓɛ́ nyɔ ɓè cɛ̃ ɓá kpooɔ̀ jè dyíɛɛ dèìn nyɛ́?

14 Know who really attacking the organization. That Satan the Devil behind all this lie-lie stories. He “the father of the lie.” (John 8:44; Gen. 3:​1-5) So we must expect that Satan will use the people who on his side to talk all kind na lie-lie things about Jehovah organization. That what happen in the first century.

15. Ðɛ́ cɔ́cì-nàìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè nyu ma Jízɛ̀ kè ɔ dèìn-sí-nyɔ̀ ɓèɔ̀ ɓũ̀ kɛ́?

15 Even though God Son Jesus was perfect and he perform plenty miracles, Satan use his people to say all kind na lie-lie things about him. For example, Jesus use to expel demons. So, some religious leaders started saying that Jesus got his power from “the ruler of the demons.” (Mark 3:22) When they carry Jesus to court, the religious leaders say that he not get respect for God. So they convince the people to kill Jesus. (Matt. 27:20) Later on, when Jesus followers were preaching the good news, God enemies make the people to go against them and started persecuting them. (Acts 14:​2, 19) Talking about Acts 14:​2, the December 1, 1998 Watchtower say: “Some Jews refuse to listen to the message the Christians were preaching. So they started saying all kind na wicked-wicked things about the Christians so people can hate them.”

16. Ðɛ́ mɛ nì à hwìɖìi ɔ jù ké à dyi se ɓɔ̃̀ ɓè jè wɔ̃ níɛ́?

16 Satan continue lying today. He still “misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Rev. 12:9) If you hear any false stories about the organization or the brothers taking the lead, remember how God enemies treated Jesus and the first-century Christians. That the same way today people can persecute Jehovah people and talk all kind na lie-lie things about them just how the Bible say it will happen. (Matt. 5:​11, 12) We can reject false stories because we know where they coming from. What we must do if we hear false stories?

17. Xwɛ̀ à ɓɛ́ìn se ɓɔ̃̀ ɓè dyí ɓàɖàìn ɓɛ́ ɔ ké se à hwìi zàìn nyɛ́? (2 Tímétè 1:​13) (Dyé gbɔ̀ɖɔ̀ mɔ̀à “Kà à ké se ɓɔ̃̀ ɓè kpɔ̃ nyuɛ.” ɖekè)

17 Reject false stories. The apostle Paul gave clear direction on what we must do if we hear false stories. He told Timothy to “command certain ones to not . . . pay attention to false stories” and to “reject irreverent false stories.” (1 Tim. 1:​3, 4; 4:7) Small child can take something from the ground and put it in their mouth. But big person will not do it because he know it will make him sick. We can reject false stories because we know where the information coming from. So it good to listen to the “wholesome words” of truth.—Read 2 Timothy 1:13.

18. Xwɛ̀ à ɓɛ́ìn tɛ̀mɛ̀in kà à ɓéɖé zuò-po-hwòɖò ɓó Jɛhova kpooɔ̀ bìì kɛ́?

18 We na talk about three different-different ways that God organization following Jesus example. When you studying the Bible, try to find more ways the organization following Jesus example. Help other people in your congregation to make their trust in Jehovah organization strong. And continue showing that you trust Jehovah organization by remaining faithful, and sticking close to the organization that he using to do his will. (Ps. 37:28) Let always be grateful for the privilege we get to be part of Jehovah loving and loyal people.
