PLAY

Jehovah na “happy God.” (1 Timothy 1:11) E want make we dey happy and enjoy our life. Jehovah dey happy when we use some time to rest and enjoy ourself. For this lesson, we go see how we fit use the time wey we want relax to really enjoy ourself and still make Jehovah happy.

1. Wetin we go remember when we de choose wetin we go use enjoy ourself?

Wetin you like to do when you want relax? Some people like to use their time of rest for house—they fit de read book, listen to music, watch film or check internet. Other people like to dey with their friends—they fit de climb mountain, de swim, or de play game. Anyone wey we choose to enjoy ourself with, we go make sure say na wetin “the Lord want.” (Ephesians 5:10) E dey important to know this one because plenty things wey people de choose to use enjoy theirself get things wey Jehovah no like. Things like, fight-fight, things about sex, or about demons. (Read Psalm 11:5.) Wetin fit help us choose good things wey we go use enjoy ourself?

If the friends wey we choose love Jehovah, they go affect us for good way and go still help us to choose good things to enjoy ourself. As we learn for Lesson 48, “when person de follow wise people, e go get sense.” But if we be friend with people wey no love wetin God want, we “go enter problem.”—Proverbs 13:20.

2. Why e dey important make we de control how much time we de use enjoy ourself?

Even if wetin we choose to enjoy ourself with no bad, we need to dey careful about how much time we de use to enjoy ourself. If we no dey careful, we no go get enough time to do the things wey dey important pass. Bible tell us say make we “de use [our] time well.”—Read Ephesians 5:15, 16.
