Continue to Hold Jehovah Tight

Continue to Hold Jehovah Tight

True Christians don make up their mind say they no go allow anybody or anything make them stop to serve Jehovah. We dey sure say na so you de feel. Jehovah really like-am as you dey faithful. (Read 1 Chronicles 28:9.) Wetin fit make-am hard for you to continue to hold Jehovah tight and wetin fit help you?

1. How other people fit make-am hard for us to hold Jehovah tight?

Some people go try to stop you make you no worship Jehovah. Who fit de try to do that kind thing? Some people don stop to serve Jehovah and now them de tell lies about the organization wey Jehovah de use, because they want make you stop to serve Jehovah. Them de call this people apostates. And some leaders for religion de talk lies about us because they want make people wey believe them stop to serve Jehovah. Na big danger for us to argue with this people, read their books or things wey they put for internet, or watch their videos. Jesus talk about people wey de try stop other people make they no serve Jehovah say: “Leave them. Them de show people road but them dey blind. So, if blind person de show blind person road, the two of them go fall for inside pit.”Matthew 15:14.

2. How the things wey we choose to do fit make-am hard for us to hold Jehovah tight?

The love wey we get for Jehovah go move us make we no get anything to do with lie-lie religion. Make our work, the group wey we dey, or any other thing wey we choose to do no get anything to do with lie-lie religion. Jehovah warn us say: “Comot from [Babylon the Great], my people.”Revelation 18:2, 4.

LEARN MORE THINGS

Learn about the things wey you fit do so that person no go make you leave Jehovah. And still see how you fit show say you hold Jehovah tight as you comot for lie-lie religion.

3. Dey careful about lie-lie teachers

Wetin you go do if people talk bad about the organization wey Jehovah de use? Read Proverbs 14:15, and talk about this question:

  • Why e good make we no believe everything we hear?

Read 2 John 9-11, and talk about this questions:

  • How we suppose treat people wey don leave Jehovah and de talk lie about e organization?

  • Even if we no de talk direct to people wey don leave Jehovah, how the things wey them de teach fit still reach us?

  • If you de listen to the bad things wey this people de talk about Jehovah and e organization, how you think say Jehovah go feel?

4. Continue to hold Jehovah tight when person for congregation sin

If we know say person for congregation don commit serious sin, wetin we suppose do? Make we see one advice wey God give people for Israel that time. Read Leviticus 5:1.

As this verse show, if we know say person don commit serious sin, make we tell the elders wetin we know. But before we do that one, make we tell the person make e go tell the elders wetin e don do. If we see say e no tell the elders, make we tell the elders wetin we know. If we do-am like this, how this one de show love wey no de fail for . . .

  • Jehovah God?

  • the person wey don sin?

  • other people for congregation?

If your Christian brother or sister dey for trouble, help them!

5. Comot from lie-lie religion

Read Luke 4:8 and Revelation 18:4, 5, and answer this questions:

  • My name still dey for lie-lie religion as their member?

  • I dey for any group wey get something to do with lie-lie religion?

  • The kind work wey I choose to do de support lie-lie religion for any way?

  • Any other thing dey for my life wey I need to do to separate from lie-lie religion?

  • If my answer na yes to any of this questions, which change I suppose make?

For all this things, make decision wey go give you clean conscience and show say you hold Jehovah tight.

Wetin you go do if they say make you give money to support wetin lie-lie religion want do?

SOME PEOPLE DE TALK SAY: “I need to know wetin people wey don leave the truth de talk about Jehovah Witness so that I go fit defend the truth.”

  • You think say that one make sense? Why you talk like that?
