Bere a ebinom tie Onyankopɔn Ahenni no ho asɛmpa no a wɔmpopo wɔn ti no, nnipa pii nso yɛ wɔn ade te sɛ Noa beresofo no. Yesu kae sɛ, “Wɔanhu kosii sɛ nsuyiri no bae bɛpraa wɔn nyinaa kɔe.” (Mat. 24:38, 39) Ebinom nso wɔ hɔ a, wodi yɛn ho fɛw anaasɛ wɔsɔre tia yɛn.

(Efe. 6:19, 20) Sɛ yebetumi akɔ so aka Onyankopɔn asɛm no a, ehia sɛ yenya akokoduru. Dɛn na ebetumi aboa yɛn ma yɛanya akokoduru?
4. (a) Dɛn ne akokoduru? (b) Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na ɔsomafo Paulo nyaa akokoduru de kaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ Tesalonikafo?

Bere a “wɔbɔɔ” ɔsomafo Paulo ne nnipa a na ɔne wɔn nam no ‘adapaa wɔ Filipi’ akyi no, ɛyɛɛ dɛn na ‘wonyaa akokoduru’ de kaa asɛm no kyerɛɛ Tesalonikafo? Paulo kyerɛwee sɛ ɛnam “yɛn Nyankopɔn mmoa so.” (Monkenkan 1 Tesalonikafo 2:2.) Yehowa Nyankopɔn betumi ayi ehu afi yɛn mu na wama yɛanya akokoduru a ɛte saa ara.
5. Dɛn na Yehowa yɛ maa Petro, Yohane, ne asuafo a wɔaka no nyaa akokoduru?
5 Bere a “sodifo [a wodi nkurɔfo no so] ne mpanyimfo ne akyerɛwfo no” sɔre tiaa asuafo no, ɔsomafo Petro ne ɔsomafo Yohane kae sɛ: “Sɛ ɛteɛ wɔ Onyankopɔn ani so sɛ yetie mo mmom sen Onyankopɔn a, mo ankasa mummua.

(Monkenkan Asomafo Nnwuma 4:31.) Yehowa nam ne honhom so boaa wɔn ma wonyaa akokoduru. Onyankopɔn honhom betumi aboa yɛn saa ara. Ɛnde yɛbɛyɛ dɛn atumi anya Onyankopɔn honhom na akyerɛ yɛn kwan wɔ yɛn asɛnka adwuma no mu?

6 Ɔkwan titiriw paa a yebetumi afa so anya Onyankopɔn honhom kronkron ne sɛ yebebisa. Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn a na wɔretie no no sɛ: “Sɛ mo a moyɛ abɔnefo mpo nim sɛnea mode akyɛde pa ma mo mma a, hwɛ mpɛn dodow ara a Agya a ɔwɔ soro no de honhom kronkron bɛma wɔn a wobisa no!” (Luka 11:13) Nokwarem no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ mpae bere nyinaa de hwehwɛ honhom kronkron.

Rosa ka sɛ, “Mebɔɔ Yehowa mpae, na mesrɛɛ no sɛ ɔmfa ne honhom mmoa me.” Rosa tumi dii no adanse kama, na ɔyɛɛ nhyehyɛe sɛ ɔbɛsan ne no atoa nkɔmmɔ no so. Susuw abeawa bi a wadi mfe anum a wɔfrɛ no Milane a ɔte New York City asɛm no nso ho hwɛ. Milane ka sɛ: “Me maame ne me bɔ Yehowa mpae bere nyinaa ansa na makɔ sukuu.” Dɛn ho mpae na wɔbɔ? Wɔbɔ mpae sɛ Milane benya akokoduru de agyina Onyankopɔn afa, na waka ne ho asɛm!

8. Dɛn na yebetumi asua afi odiyifo Yeremia hɔ wɔ akokoduru a yebenya ho?
8 Susuw nea ɛboaa odiyifo Yeremia ma onyaa akokoduru no nso ho hwɛ. Bere a Yehowa paw Yeremia sɛ ɔnyɛ odiyifo mma amanaman no, Yeremia kae sɛ: “Hwɛ, minnim kasa, na meyɛ abofra.” (Yer. 1:4-6) Nanso, bere bi akyi no, Yeremia de akokoduru kɔɔ so kaa asɛm no araa ma nnipa pii buu no sɛ mmusu nkutoo ho asɛm na ɔka. (Yer. 38:4) Ɔkaa Yehowa atemmusɛm akokoduru so bɛboro mfe 65. Ná wonim Yeremia yiye wɔ Israel sɛ obi a ɔka asɛm akokoduru so a onsuro ma enti bɛyɛ mfe 600 akyi, bere a Yesu kasae akokoduru so no, na ebinom susuw sɛ ɔyɛ Yeremia a wɔasan awo no. (Mat. 16:13, 14) Ɛyɛɛ dɛn na odiyifo Yeremia a mfiase no na ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔka asɛm no tumi dii ne fɛre so? Ɔkae sɛ: “[Onyankopɔn asɛm no yɛɛ] me komam sɛ ogya a ɛredɛw a wɔato mu me nnompe mu; mebrɛe.” (Yer. 20:9) Nokwarem no, Yehowa asɛm nyaa Yeremia so tumi, na ɛkanyan no ma ɔkasae.
9. Dɛn nti na Onyankopɔn asɛm betumi akanyan yɛn te sɛ nea ɛkanyan Yeremia no?
9 Ɔsomafo Paulo kyerɛwee wɔ krataa a ɔde kɔmaa Hebrifo no mu sɛ: “Onyankopɔn asɛm wɔ nkwa, na tumi wɔ mu, na ano yɛ nnam sen nkrante anofanu biara, na etumi hwirew mu kodu sɛ ɛpaapae ɔkra ne honhom, ne dompe ne emu hon mu, na etumi hu komam adwene ne nsusuwii.” (Heb. 4:12) Onyankopɔn asɛm betumi akanyan yɛn te sɛ nea ɛkanyan Yeremia no. Kae sɛ ɛwom sɛ nnipa na wɔma wɔkyerɛw Bible no de, nanso ɛnyɛ nnipa nyansa na ɛwom, efisɛ Onyankopɔn honhom na ɛkaa wɔn. Yɛkenkan wɔ 2 Petro 1:21 sɛ: “Nkɔmhyɛ mfaa onipa pɛ so mmae da, na mmom nea efi Onyankopɔn hɔ na nnipa kae sɛnea honhom kronkron kaa wɔn no.” Sɛ yɛn ankasa gye bere de sua Bible yiye a, asɛm a wɔnam honhom kronkron so kyerɛwee no bɛhyɛ yɛn adwene mu ma. (Monkenkan 1 Korintofo 2:10.) Saa asɛm no betumi ayɛ te sɛ “ogya a ɛredɛw” wɔ yɛn mu ma enti yɛrentumi nka yɛn ano ntom.
