1. Wetin Jesus tell e disciples about the time wey this wicked world go end, and which warning e give them?

 SOME days before Jesus die, four of e disciples ask-am say: ‘Wetin go show say . . . the end don near?’ (Matt. 24:3) E fit be say the disciples want make Jesus tell them how them fit know when the time of Jew people go end. Jesus answer no only talk about when the time of Jew people go end but e still talk about “the end of this wicked world” wey we de live now. Jesus talk say: “About that day or the time, nobody know, even the angels for heaven or the Son no know, na only the Father know.” Then e warn them say make them “continue to de watch” and make them “no sleep.”—Mark 13:32-37.

2. Why e dey important for Christians for apostle time put mind for the things wey Jesus tell them about destruction of Jerusalem?

² Jew people wey become Christians for apostle time, need to try see the things wey go show say wetin Jesus talk don de happen, because that one go help them do wetin go save their life. Jesus tell e disciples wetin go de happen wey go show say the time of Jew people, go soon end. E tell them say: “When wuna see say army don surround Jerusalem, then make wuna know say the time to destroy-am don near.” When this one happen, them go need to “run go the mountains.” (Luke 21:20, 21) The people wey obey Jesus save when Rome people destroy Jerusalem.

3. Wetin we go talk about for this article?

³ Today, we dey the last days for this wicked world. So we too need to use our sense well and continue to de put mind  for the things wey de show say Satan world go soon end. For this article, we go talk about (1) how we fit use our sense well as we de see how wetin Bible talk about the last days, de happen, (2) how we fit dey careful so that we no go put ourself for trouble, and (3) how we fit use the time wey remain well.

4. Why e good make we de put mind for the things wey de happen for this world wey de show say wetin Bible talk de happen?

⁴ We get good reason to want know how things wey de happen now for this world, de show say wetin Bible talk de happen. For example, Jesus tell us somethings wey go de happen to help us know say the end of Satan world don near. (Matt. 24:3-14) Apostle Peter tell us say make we de put mind for things wey de happen wey show say na wetin Bible talk de happen because e go make our faith continue to dey strong. (2 Pet. 1:19-21) Revelation 1:1 talk say: “This one na the things wey God show Jesus Christ to show e slaves the things wey go soon happen.” (Rev. 1:1) So we really want understand how the things wey de happen for this world de show say wetin Bible talk, de happen. And sometimes, we de like talk about-am with other people.

5. Wetin we suppose do, and wetin we no suppose do as we de see things wey de happen for this world? (Still check the picture.)

⁵ But when we de talk about how the things wey de happen de show say na wetin Bible talk de happen, abeg make we no use-am calculate when Armageddon fit come. Why? Because we no want talk wetin go confuse our brothers and sisters for congregation. For example, we fit hear when governments for this world talk how them go end the war wey de happen and make peace dey. Instead make we start to talk say na wetin Bible talk for 1 Thessalonians 5:3, de happen, we need to make sure say we get the correct information from faithful and discreet slave. When we de talk only wetin we learn from Jehovah organization, e go help the congregation “get one mind and de think for the same way.”—1 Cor. 1:10; 4:6.

6. Wetin we fit learn from 2 Peter 3:11-13?

⁶ Read 2 Peter 3:11-13. Apostle Peter help us see how we fit use our sense well when we de connect wetin de happen today with wetin Bible talk. E talk say make we “de always remember say the day of Jehovah de come.” Why? No be because we want try calculate the “day or time” wey Jehovah go bring Armageddon, but na because we want use the time wey remain “make the way [we] de behave show say [we] dey holy and hold God tight.” (Matt. 24:36; Luke 12:40) This one mean say we want continue to get clean character and make sure say the way we de worship Jehovah de show say we love-am with all our heart. To fit do this one, we need to de careful with the way we de do things.

7. How we fit show say we dey careful with the things wey we de do? (Luke 21:34)

⁷ No be only wetin de happen for this world Jesus say make e disciples put eye, e still talk say make them watch how them de do things. Wetin Jesus talk for Luke 21:34, (Read-am.) help us see wetin make this warning dey serious. Jesus talk say: “Make wuna dey careful.” Person wey dey careful  about the way e de do things, de always think about wetin fit spoil e friendship with Jehovah, and e de do e best to run from-am. Na this one go help-am continue to be Jehovah friend.—Prov. 22:3; Jude 20, 21.

8. Which advice apostle Paul give Christians?

⁸ Apostle Paul advice Christians say make them dey careful for the way them de do things. For example, e tell Christians for Ephesus say: ‘Make wuna dey careful for how wuna de waka, so that wuna go waka like people wey get sense, no be like people wey no get sense.’ (Eph. 5:15, 16) Satan de always find how e go spoil our friendship with Jehovah, na e make Bible advice us say make we ‘continue to de use good sense know wetin Jehovah want make [we] do,’ so that we go fit stand well no matter wetin we de face from Satan.—Eph. 5:17.

9. How we fit know wetin Jehovah want make we do?

⁹ Bible no talk about all the type of problem wey Satan fit use spoil our friendship with Jehovah. Many times, we de always make decision about matter wey Bible no talk about-am direct. So to make better decision, we need to understand or use our sense know “wetin Jehovah want.” We go fit do this one if we de always study Bible and think deep about wetin we learn. The more we de understand wetin Jehovah want make we do and de get the kind mind wey Christ get, the more the way we de do things go de show say we get sense even when Bible no talk anything about our decision. (1 Cor. 2:14-16) E dey easy to know somethings wey fit spoil our friendship with Jehovah but some no too dey easy to know.

10. Which bad things we need to run from?

¹⁰ Some of the bad things wey you need to run from na, to de show feeling to person wey you no want marry, to over drink, to chop too much, to de talk wetin go pain another person, to de watch film and video wey them de fight and kill people, to watch naked people picture or video, and other things like this ones. (Ps. 101:3) Satan wey be our enemy, no de rest. E de always look for the chance to spoil our friendship with Jehovah. (1 Pet. 5:8) If we no dey careful, e go plant wicked things for our mind and heart, like bad-belle (envy), lie-lie, long-throat, de carry shoulder, and no de forgive. (Gal. 5:19-21) When person start to get this bad characters, e fit no think say na serious thing. And if e no quick remove them, them go start to grow for the person heart like plant wey get poison, and put the person for serious trouble.—Jas. 1:14, 15.

11. Wetin be one bad thing wey fit spoil our friendship with Jehovah wey we need to run from, and why?

¹¹ One bad thing wey fit spoil our friendship with Jehovah wey we fit no quick see, na to de follow bad friends. Think about this situation. Make we talk say, for your work place, you get coworker wey no be Jehovah servant, so you want make e see Jehovah people as good people wey de help other people. Because of this one, you de agree sometimes to follow-am go chop for break time. But small time, wuna start to always chop together for break time. Sometimes, this your coworker de like talk about sex wey no clean for God eye and anytime wey e start to talk about-am, you de try comot mind. But after some time, the bad talk no de worry you for mind again. Then one day, your coworker say make wuna go drink together after work, and you gree, but before you know you don start to talk the same bad  things wey this your coworker de like talk about. Now, wetin remain before you start to behave like-am? The truth be say, we de do good to people and de respect them. But we need to remember say the kind friends wey we get go affect us. (1 Cor. 15:33) If we dey careful as Jesus advice us, we no go make friend with people wey no de do things the way Jehovah want. (2 Cor. 6:15) This one go make us run when we see wetin fit spoil our friendship with Jehovah.

12. Wetin Jesus disciples do as them de wait for the time wey them go destroy Jerusalem?

¹² Jesus disciples no fold hand de wait for the time wey Rome people go destroy Jerusalem. Jesus give them work to do. E command them to preach about God Kingdom for “Jerusalem, for all the place for Judea and Samaria, and for the whole earth.” (Acts 1:6-8) This work wey Jesus give them na really big work. As them use all their heart do this work wey Jesus give them, e help them use their time well.

13. Why we need to use our time well? (Colossians 4:5)

¹³ Read Colossians 4:5. To dey careful about how we de do things, we need to think about how we de use our time. “Wetin [we] no expect” fit happen to anybody. (Eccl. 9:11) Anybody fit die anytime.

14-15. How we fit use our time well? (Hebrews 6:11, 12) (Still check the picture.)

 ¹⁴ We go fit use our time well when we de do wetin Jehovah want and hold-am tight. (John 14:21) We need to “stand strong and no shake, always de get plenty things to do for the work of the Lord.” (1 Cor. 15:58) So that when the end come—whether na the end of our life or the end of Satan world—we no go regret.—Matt. 24:13; Rom. 14:8.

¹⁵ For this our time, Jesus still de direct us as we de preach about God Kingdom for the whole world. E don do e own side of the work. E don use Jehovah organization train us to sabi preach and still give us wetin we need to fit do this work. (Matt. 28:18-20) We need to do our own part of the work as we de use all our heart preach and teach people. And still de use our sense well as we de wait for the time wey Jehovah go destroy Satan world. When we follow the advice wey dey Hebrews 6:11, 12, our hope go dey strong “go reach the end.”—Read-am.

16. Wetin we don make up our mind to do?

¹⁶ Jehovah don choose the day and time wey e go destroy this Satan world. When that day reach, Jehovah go do everything wey e don talk for Bible. Sometimes e fit be like say Jehovah de delay to destroy Satan world. But we dey sure say the day wey Jehovah don choose “no go late!” (Hab. 2:3) So make we make up our mind to continue to put our hope for Jehovah and “sofri wait for [our] God to save [us].”—Mic. 7:7.
