When e reach there, e see say one giant from Philistia people side wey e name na Goliath “de challenge Israel army.” And all Israel soldiers de fear-am. (1 Sam. 17:​10, 11) Them de fear because them put mind for wetin Goliath de talk and how Goliath big reach. (1 Sam. 17:​24, 25) But David no put mind for that one. David know say Goliath no de only challenge Israel army, but na the God wey dey alive e de insult. (1 Sam. 17:26) Na Jehovah David de think about. E dey sure say the God wey save-am from the bear and lion, go still help-am fit win Goliath. This one make-am fight Goliath and win-am!—1 Sam. 17:​45-51.

8 We go fit handle any problem if we remember say the God wey dey alive always ready to help us. (Ps. 118:6) We go fit trust Jehovah more say e go help us if we think about wetin e don do before. You fit read different-different story for Bible wey talk about how Jehovah save people wey de worship-am. (Isa. 37:​17, 33-37) You fit still read or watch the story of our brothers and sisters for jw.org, wey show how Jehovah de help im people for this our time. Another thing be say, make you remember the different-different time wey Jehovah don help you. But you fit de tell yourself say, ‘Jehovah never help me for any wonderful way, the way e help David kill bear and lion.’ But the truth be say Jehovah don do plenty things for you! E don bring you come im organization and make you im friend. (John 6:44) And you still de serve-am come reach now because e de help you. So pray make Jehovah help you remember different-different times wey e don hear your prayer, give you wetin you need for the correct time, or take care of you when things really hard. If you de do all this things, e go make you really dey sure say Jehovah go continue to help you.

(Job 1:​10, 11; read Proverbs 27:11.) When we continue to serve Jehovah even when we de face problem, we de show say we love Jehovah and show say Satan na liar. You de suffer because of money matter, or government for your area dey against Jehovah people, or people wey you de preach to no want hear the good news, or e get other problem wey you de face? If na so e be, remember say the problem wey you de face de give you the chance to make Jehovah happy. And still remember say e no go allow you face any problem wey big pass your power.

12. Why elders de put body for the work wey them de do for congregation? (Still check the picture.)

12 For this our time, elders dey sure say Jehovah de see the work wey them de do, and e value-am. Them de visit brothers and sisters to encourage them, teach for congregation, and still de preach. Many elders no de only do this one, but them still de support the building work wey our organization de do, and help brothers and sisters wey bad things happen to. Some elders dey Patient Visitation Groups; them de visit brothers and sisters wey de sick for hospital to encourage them. And some elders dey for Hospital Liaison Committees; them de help brothers and sisters for hospital matter wey concern blood. Elders know say the work wey them de do for congregation na for Jehovah.

Because of this one, e no gree put hand for sex wey no clean for Jehovah eye, because e no want do anything wey go make Jehovah vex. (Gen. 39:9) If Jehovah dey real to us, we go de take time pray to-am and de study im Word. This one go de make our friendship with-am de strong more-more.

Sometimes e de be like say people wey no de follow wetin God talk de live better life. This kind thing fit test our faith. Even if we believe say God dey, we fit come de doubt whether e go help us. E get one time wey the person wey write Psalm 73 feel like that. E see say people wey dey around-am no de follow wetin God talk, but them still de enjoy life. This one come make-am de doubt if gain dey as e de serve God.—Ps. 73:​11-13.
