 PARENTS, we know that you want help your children to know and love Jehovah. But we can’t see God. So how you can help your children to see him to be real Person and get close to him?—Jas. 4:8.

2. Xwɛ̀ wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè ɓɛ́ìn waa dyú ɓèɔ̀ ɖɛ tɛ̀mɛ̀ìn ɓá Jɛhovaa kpeɖe ɓèɔ̀ jè dyíɛ́?

² One main way parents can help their children to get close to Jehovah that by studying the Bible with them. (2 Tim. 3:14-17) But the Bible show another way that young people can learn about Jehovah. In the book of Proverbs, one father remind his son to never forget about Jehovah qualities that creation can show. (Prov. 3:19-21) We coming learn about some ways parents can use creation to help their children learn about Jehovah qualities.

3. Ðɛ́ mɔ̀ gbo-kpá-kpá ɓɛ́ wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè mɛ nyí waa dyú ɓèɔ̀ kɛ́?

³ The Bible say that God “invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made.” (Rom. 1:20) Parents, we know you can enjoy spending time with your children outside. Use that time to help your children to see Jehovah qualities in the thing them he made. So now let see what parents can learn from Jesus example.

4. Xwɛ̀ Jízɛ̀ nyuìn ma mɛɛ-ɖɛ̀ ɓè kũ̀à mú ɓɛ́ ɔ ké ma ɔ ɖéín-nà-nyɔ̀ ɓèɔ̀ ɖɛ tɛ̀mɛ̀ìn nyɛ́? (Ðúù 12:24, 27-30)

 ⁴ See how Jesus use creation to teach. One time, he ask his disciples to look at the ravens and the lilies. (Read Luke 12:24, 27-30.) Jesus could choose to talk about any animal or plant, but he talk about the bird and the flower that his disciple them knew good-good. The disciple them use to see this bird them flying around and this flowers growing in the field. You can imagine Jesus pointing to this thing them when he was talking? And wetin he do after giving this example them? He teach his disciple them good lessons about how Jehovah kind and free handed. Just how Jehovah can take care of the birds and the flowers, that the same way he will take care of his faithful servant them.

5. Ðɛ́ ɓè ɓá mɛɛ-ɖɛ̀ ɓè jè dyí ɓɛ́ wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè ɓɛ́ìn kũ̀à mú nyuɛ̀n, ɓɛ́ wa ké waa dyú ɖò ɖɛ̀ tɛ̀mɛ̀ìn ɓá Jɛhova jè dyíɛ́?

⁵ Parents, when you teaching your children, how you can follow Jesus example? You can tell your child about the plant or animal that you really like. When you telling your child about it, you must explain what this thing them teach us about Jehovah. You can also ask your child which of the animal or plant he really like. If you talk about something that he like, he will listen good-good when you talking about Jehovah qualities.

⁶ You think parents must spend plenty time to make research on one animal or plant before teaching the child about what that animal or plant teach them about Jehovah? It not really important to do all that one. Jesus not explain plenty things about how the bird them can eat or about how the flower them can grow. Even if your child like learning more about the thing them Jehovah made, sometime if you say something short or you ask one question, it will be alright for them to get the point. Let see what one brother name Christopher remember about the time he was coming up: “My ma just use to say something short to help us learn something from Jehovah creation. For example, when we use to be near mountains, she will say: ‘Look at how the mountain them big and fine! You not think Jehovah wonderful?’ Or when we use to be near the sea, she use to say: ‘Look at how the wave powerful. It just show that God really powerful.’ This simple thing them our ma use to say really make us to think.”

7. Xwɛ̀ m̀ ɓɛ́ìn nì dyú ɓèɔ̀ ɖɛ tɛ̀mɛ̀ìn ɓɛ́ wa ké mɛɛ-ɖɛ̀ ɓè jè hwìɖìi poìn nyɛ́?

⁷ When your children getting big, you can train them to start thinking about creation and how they can use it to learn about Jehovah qualities. You can just talk about one thing Jehovah made and ask your children, “What this one teach you about Jehovah?” You will be surprise and happy to hear the answer your children will give.—Matt. 21:16.

8. Ðɛ́ mɔ̀ ti nɔ̀mɔ̀ dyíin ɓɛ̀ wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ nì ma ɖé Èézùɖùɛ̀-ɓòɖòɔ̀ kɔ̃ɛɛ ɓéɖé ma ɔ jù ké wa dyi “hwìè xwíníín nàùn nììn” nyɛ́?

⁸ Jehovah told Israelite parents to teach their children his law them when they walking “on the road.” (Deut. 11:19) Most of their roads were bush road. So they use to see different-different animals, bird them, and flowers on the road. When Israelite families use to be traveling  on the roads, the parents were having the opportunity to talk to their children about Jehovah creation. Parents, maybe you get this same type of opportunities to use creation to teach your children. Let see how some parents na do it.

9. Ðɛ́ m̀ ɓɛ́ìn Pònítà kè Kádyà xwaùn cɛ̃́ɛ kɛ́?

⁹ One mother name Punitha, who living in one big city in India say: “When we visit our family in the interior, we can use that opportunity to help our children learn about Jehovah from the thing them he made. I feel my children can understand creation good-good when they not in the city.” It will be hard for your children to forget if you and them go somewhere fine where they can learn about Jehovah. Katya, one sister from Moldova, say: “What I can really remember from my small time that the time I spent with my parents in the interior. They teach me to find time and learn about Jehovah from the thing them he made. I grateful to them for teaching me this when I was small.”

10. Ðɛ́ wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè ɓɛ́ìn nyuɛ ɔ jù ké ɔ dyi mú kàmà ɓɛ́ wa ké kɔ̃́nɛ̀ìn mu níɛ́? (Ðyé gbɔ̀ɖɔ̀ɔ̀ mɔ̀à “ Gbo Kpá-Kpá Ɓó Wóɖóìn-Nyɔ̀ Ɓè Bìì.” kɛ)

¹⁰ What if you not able to travel in the interior? Amol, who also living in India, say: “The place I living, parents can work for long hours, and it expensive to travel in the interior. But you can see Jehovah creation and talk about his good-good ways when you sit down in one small flower garden or when you sit down on one porch.” When you look around your house good-good, you will also see some thing them Jehovah made that you can show to your children. (Ps. 104:24) Maybe you will see thing them like birds, insects, plants, and plenty other things. Karina, from Germany, say: “My ma like  flowers, so when I was small, she use to show me some fine-fine flowers when we walking on the road together.” Parents, you can also use the plenty videos and publication them about creation that the organization na make to teach your children. Yes, no matter where you living, you can still help your children to learn from the thing them Jehovah made. Now let talk about some of Jehovah qualities that you can show to your children from creation.

11. Xwɛ̀ wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè ɓɛ́ìn waa dyú ɓèɔ̀ gbo kpáa ɓɛ́ wa ke Jɛhovaa ɖɛ̀ɓɛ̀ìn-ɖɛ̀ɓɛ̀ìnɔ̀ jè múin wɔ̃́ kɛ́?

¹¹ To help your children to know that Jehovah can show love, you can talk about the way plenty animals can take care of their baby them. (Matt. 23:37) You can also talk about the different-different thing them Jehovah made that we can enjoy. Karina, who we talk about before say: “When we walking outside, my ma use to encourage me to stop and look at how the flower them fine-fine and different from each other and how it show that Jehovah love us. After some years, I can still take my time to look at the different-different design and color in flowers. They continue to remind me that Jehovah really love us.”

12. Xwɛ̀ wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè ɓɛ́ìn waa dyú ɓèɔ̀ gbo kpáa ɓɛ́ wa ke Jɛhovaa fɔ̀nɔ̀-hwòɖòɔ̀ jè múin wɔ̃́ kɛ́? (Wɛ́ɖɛ́ 139:14) (Ðyé dyi-dyé-ɖɛ̀ɔ̀.)

¹² Help your children to know that God wise. Jehovah wise more than all of us. (Rom. 11:33) For example, you can tell your child about how the water can go up and turn to cloud. And how it easy for the clouds to take the water from place to place. (Job 38:36, 37) You can also tell them about the wonderful way Jehovah made the human body. (Read Psalm 139:14.) See how one father name Vladimir do it. He say: “One day, our son fall down from his bicycle and hurt himself. After some days, the sore got better. Me and my wife explain to him that Jehovah made our body to be able to repair itself. We told him that the thing them human being make not able to do it. For example, when car make accident, it can’t  fix itself. This experience help our son to understand that Jehovah wise.”

13. Xwɛ̀ wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè ɓɛ́ìn waa dyú ɓèɔ̀ gbo kpáa ɓɛ́ wa ke Geɖepɔɔ kpéɔ̀ jè múin wɔ̃́ kɛ́? (Azédyà 40:26)

¹³ Jehovah say we must look in the sky and think about how he can use his power to keep the star them in their place. (Read Isaiah 40:26.) Encourage your children to look in the sky and think on what they see. One sister from Taiwan name Tingting, remember something that happen when she was small. She say: “One time, me and my ma left from the city and went somewhere. We were able to see the sky in the night because no light was there. During that time, I was worry about how I was coming to remain faithful to Jehovah. And that because my classmate them were making it hard for me to obey Jehovah. My ma encourage me to think about the power Jehovah use to make all the star them and to remember that He can use that same power to help me go through any problem. After looking at Jehovah creation on that trip, I wanted to know Jehovah good-good and I was ready to remain faithful and serve him.”

14. Xwɛ̀ wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè ɓɛ́ìn mɛɛ-ɖɛ̀ ɓè kũ̀à mú nyuɛ̀n ɓɛ wa ké waa dyú ɓèɔ̀ gbo kpá ɓɛ́ wa ké Jɛhova dyé kà ɔ mɔ̀ múà Geɖepɔɔ kɛ́?

¹⁴ The thing them Jehovah made show that he happy and he want for us to be happy too. Scientists say animals like the birds and fish can play. (Job 40:20) Your children can laugh when they see animal playing? Maybe they na see baby cat running behind football or small-small dog them wrestling up. The next time you see your children laughing when they looking at animal playing, you can remind them that we serving the happy God?—1 Tim. 1:11.

15. Ðɛ̀ ɓɛ́ìn wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè gbo kpáa ɓɛ́ wa ké waa dyú ɓèɔ̀ hwòɖòɛ-gbɔ-po-ɖɛ̀ dyí dyuò kɛ́? (Nɔ́ɔ́ 20:5) (Ðyé dyi-dyé-ɖɛ̀ɔ̀.)

¹⁵ Sometime, parents can find it hard for their children to talk about the problems they going through. If you in this situation, you need to try hard to know  what your children thinking on. (Read Proverbs 20:5.) It can be easy for some parents when they and their children enjoying Jehovah creation together. Why? One reason that because plenty things can’t be there to disturb them. One father in Taiwan name Masahiko talk about another reason: “When we spend time outside with our children, like walking near the mountains or walking on the beach, they can always be relax. So it can be easy for us to make them talk and know what they thinking on.” Katya who we talk about before, say: “After school, my ma use to carry me to one fine flower garden. In that place it can be easy for me to tell her what happen to me in school or wetin I was worrying on.”

16. Xwɛ̀ xwéɖé-dù ɓè hwòɖò ɓɛ́ìn dyi deɛ̀ ɓɛ́ wa ké pee nyu ɔ jù wa dyi Jɛhovaa mɛɛ-ɖɛ̀ ɓèɔ̀ múàùn dyi kpáìn nììn nyɛ́?

¹⁶ When the family looking at Jehovah creation together, they can be relax and they can enjoy their self. It can also make them to love each other more. The Bible say that they get “time to laugh” and “time to skip about.” (Eccl. 3:1, 4, ftn.) Jehovah na make fine-fine place them on earth where we can go to enjoy our self. Plenty families like going together to fine-fine area them like in the interior, around the mountain or on the beach. Some children like running and playing in fine area, looking at animals, or swimming in the river, lake, or the sea. We get plenty opportunities to enjoy the thing them Jehovah made!

17. Xwíníínɔ̀ nyɛ́ kɔ̃́ jè wóɖóìn-nyɔ̀ ɓè mɛ kpáa waa dyú ɓèɔ̀ gbo ɓɛ́ wa kéa Geɖepɔɔ mɛɛ-ɖɛ̀ ɓèɔ̀ múàùn dyi kpáìn nyɛ́?

¹⁷ In God new world, parents and their children will enjoy Jehovah creation more than ever before. During that time, we will not be scare of animals and they will not be scare of us. (Isa. 11:6-9) We will enjoy the thing them Jehovah made forever. (Ps. 22:26) But parents, yor must not wait until that time before you help your children to start enjoying creation. When you use creation to teach your children about Jehovah, maybe they too will agree with what King David say: “O Jehovah, there are no works like yours.”—Ps. 86:8.
