MƐNI-ŊAI KWA PAI MAA-KƆRII a
1. Le mɛni ɓe kwa mare-kɛɛ-ŋa sukula la goyaŋ-ŋai su?
WHY we can go to meeting? The main reason that to praise Jehovah. (Ps. 26:12; 111:1) We can also go to meeting to encourage each other during this hard time. (1 Thess. 5:11) So when we make comment in meeting, we doing this two thing them.
2. Mɛni-kpɛtɛɛ kɛɛ leŋ ɓe naa nyii a kpɔŋ kua a gɛɛ ku mare-kɛɛ-ŋa sukula goyaŋ-ŋai su?
2 Every week, we can be having opportunities to comment in meeting. For example, on the weekend meeting, we can make comment during the Watchtower Study. On our midweek meeting, we can make comment during the part, Good-Good Thing Them Inside the Bible. We can also make comment during the Congregation Bible Study and other part them that get questions and answers.
3. Tãi ta le ɓe a pɔri gɛi a gbanaŋɔɔ a gɛɛ ku mare-kɛɛ-ŋa sukula, nyaŋ Ibulu 10:24, 25 a pɔri kpɔni leŋ kua?
3 All of us want praise Jehovah and encourage our brother and sister them. But we can face some problem them when we want make comment. Maybe we scare to make comment. Or we can want make comment plenty time but they can’t call us. Wetin can help us? We can find the answer in the apostle Paul letter to the Hebrews. When he was talking about how it important to go to meeting, he say that we must focus on ‘encouraging each other.’ (Read Hebrews 10:24, 25.) We will not be scare to put our hand up when we remember that our comment, even if it simple, can encourage other people and show that we get faith. And even if they not call us plenty time, we can be happy that other people was able to make comment too.—1 Pet. 3:8.
4. Mɛni-ŋuŋ saaɓa kɛɛ leŋ ɓe kwa pai lonoi e pilaŋ ma zɛŋ-lɛɛi ŋi su?
4 In this article, we will first talk about how we can encourage each other in small congregation where they not get plenty people to comment. Also, we will talk about how to encourage each other in big congregation where they get plenty people to make comment. Then we will also talk about how we can encourage each other by what we say in our comment.
KWAA KUKIE-NI FƆRƆ KORAI-TOLI-KPƆŊ LOŊ SU
5. Kwa kukie-ni fɔrɔ leŋ kwa wala kɛ a ku tamaa koyaŋ su?
5 In small congregation or group, plenty people can’t be there for the conductor to call. Because of that, the conductor can wait for some time for people to put their hand up to comment. And it can make the meeting to look sick and it can’t encourage people. Wetin you can do? Try hard to put your hand up plenty time. When you do it, you will encourage other people to want make more comment.
6-7. Le ɓe pai kpɔni kua a gɛɛ kufe yao mare-kɛɛ-ŋa sukulai goyaŋ su?
6 Wetin you can do if you feeling scare to comment? It can happen to plenty people too. But to encourage our brother and sister them, it good for us to do some thing them that can help us to not be scary to comment. How you can do it?
7 You can find some thing them that will help you in some Watchtower b we na study before. For example, you must prepare good-good. (Prov. 21:5) The more you know the material, that the more it will be easy for you to want make comment. Also, make your comment them short. (Prov. 15:23; 17:27) You will not be too scary when you give short comment. It can be easy for the brother and sister them to understand short comment more than long comment that get plenty idea. When you make short comment in your own words, you will show that you prepare good and that you really understand the material.
8. Ziova lii a kɛ leŋ kwa kɔ a gɛɛ ku mare-kɛɛ sukula a kulii kelee?
8 Suppose you try to do some of this thing them, but you still feeling scare to make comment more than one time? Remember that Jehovah will be happy with any effort you make. (Luke 21:1-4) Giving your best not mean you must do more than you able to do. (Phil. 4:5) Decide what you able to do, plan to do it and pray for Jehovah to help you. From the beginning, you can plan to make one short comment.
KWAA KUKIE-NI FƆRƆ KORAI-TOLI-KPƆŊ KƐTƐ SU
9. Mɛni-kpanaŋ kɛɛ leŋ ɓe nua da tɛɛ zu e pilaŋ mare-kɛɛ sukula mɛni ma korai-toli-kpɔŋ kɛtɛ su?
9 If your congregation get plenty publishers, you can face different problem. Maybe plenty brother and sister them can put their hand up to comment, so it can make it hard for them to see your hand. For example, Danielle always use to enjoy making comment in meeting. c She look at making comment to be part of her worship, to encourage other people and to make her own faith strong. But when she move to one big congregation, they never use to call her plenty time. Sometime, she will not even comment during the whole meeting. She say, “It was frustrating me, I was feeling just like they take privilege from me. When it happen over and over, you can be thinking that the brother them meaning to do it.”
10. Le ɓe kwa pɔri gɛi a gɛɛ ku pɔri mare-kɛɛ-ŋa sukulai goyaŋ su?
10 You na feel like Danielle before? If you feeling like that, maybe you can just want stop trying and only listen to the meeting. But don’t stop trying to comment. Wetin you can do? One thing that will help you that to prepare plenty comments for every meeting. Then if they not call you to comment from the beginning, you will still get the opportunity when the meeting going on. When you preparing for the Watchtower Study, think about how each of the paragraph go in line with the title of the article. If you do it, you will always get good comment to make during the whole lesson. You can also prepare to make comment on paragraph them that talking about things that hard to explain. (1 Cor. 2:10) Why? Because during that time, plenty people can’t put their hand up to comment. But suppose you do all this thing them and they not still call you to comment? You can talk to the conductor before the meeting and tell him that you want comment on certain paragraph.
11. Le ɓe Felepiɛŋ 2:4 a ku fɔrɔi a gɛɛ ku gɛ?
11 Read Philippians 2:4. In the Bible, the apostle Paul encourage Christians to take interest in other people. How we can do it when we in meeting? We must always remember that other people can want comment too.
12. Pere sii lɛlɛɛ kɛɛ leŋ ɓe kwa pɔri kukie-ni fɔrɔi la goyaŋ-ŋai su? (Ya pɔri ŋɔnɔ vootoi kaai.)
12 Think about it this way. Suppose you and your friend them lecturing, you think you will want do all the talking? No! You will let them to talk too. That the same way when we in meeting, we must let other people to comment. In fact, one of the best way to encourage our brother and sister them, that to let them to talk about their faith. (1 Cor. 10:24) Let talk about how we can do it.
13. Kwa pɔri tãi tɛɛi leŋ ku bɔlɔ da sisɛ-ŋai pɔ a gɛɛ dia maŋ di mare-kɛɛ ta sukula?
13 One thing we can do, that to make our comment them short, so other people can comment too. Elders and other publisher them that experience must set the example. Even if that short comment, don’t talk on all the points. Because if you do it, nothing will leave there for other people to talk about. For example, in this paragraph, we get two short answer them: make your comment them short and don’t talk on all the points. If that you the first person they call to comment on this paragraph, try to just comment on one of this point them.
14. Le ɓe pai kpɔni kua a gɛɛ ku tãi kɔlɔŋ maa nɛ̃ɛi ku kuyee tɛ lai? (Ya pɔri ŋɔnɔ vootoi kaai.)
14 When you thinking about the amount of time you will put your hand up, try to know the best time to do it. If we put our hand up plenty time, it will make the conductor to be force to call us even though other people not comment yet. And this one can even make other people to feel weak to put their hand up. —Eccl. 3:7.
15. (a) Maa nɛ̃ɛi ku tua da wala ku toli a gɛɛ ku mare-kɛɛ sukula? (b) Nuui mare-kɛɛi tɛɛi a pɔri wɛli-kɛ-maa lɛ leŋ nuu kelee mɛni ma? (Ya pɔri ŋɔnɔ basii “If You Are Conducting” kaai.)
15 When plenty publishers put their hand up, we can’t be able to comment the amount of time we want comment. Sometime, the conductor can’t even call us. This one can make us feel bad. But we must not get vex when they not call us.—Eccl. 7:9.
16. Kwa pɔri mare-kɛɛ sukula ɓelai fɔrɔi leŋ?
16 If you not able to comment the amount of time you want comment, listen good-good to other people comment. Then after the meeting, you can tell them thank you for their comment. When you tell your brother and sister them thank you, it can encourage them the same way your comments can encourage them. (Prov. 10:21) Another way we can encourage each other, that to tell people thank you.
BERE SII TAKPƐNI-ŊAI KWA PƆRI ŊƆNƆ KUKIE-NI FƆRƆI LAI
17. (a) Loŋ-kaa-ɓela da pɔri kpɔni leŋ dinĩa-pɛlɛi dia a gɛɛ di dikpiŋ kpɛtɛ a nɛlɛɛ mare-kɛɛ sukula mɛni ma? (b) Yɛɛ berei gaa la viloi sui, mɛni-ŋuŋ naaŋ kɛɛ leŋ ɓe a pɔri kpɔni kua a gɛɛ ku kukpiŋ kpɛtɛ mare-kɛɛ sukula mɛni ma? (Ya pɔri ŋɔnɔ fonoi kaai.)
17 Wetin else we can do to encourage each other in the meeting? If you parent, help your small-small children to prepare comments that they able to make. (Matt. 21:16) Sometime, the study material can be talking about serious thing them like, marry problem or how to be clean in God eye. But still, some paragraph can be there that small-small children can comment on. Also help your children to know why they will not call them every time they put their hand up. When they know this one, it help them to not feel bad when they call other people.—1 Tim. 6:18. d
18. Le ɓe maa nɛ̃ɛi kufe gɛ kwa kɛ mare-kɛɛ sukulai? (Tare-woo-ŋa 27:2)
18 All of us can prepare comments that can bring praise to Jehovah and encourage our brother and sister them. (Prov. 25:11) Sometime, we can give our own experience when we making comment but we must not talk too much about ourself. (Read Proverbs 27:2; 2 Cor. 10:18) And we must focus on Jehovah, the Bible and his people them. (Rev. 4:11) And if the question for the paragraph ask us to explain how we feel about certain thing, then we can do it. We get one example in the next paragraph.
19. (a) Le ɓe pai kɛi kwa wɛli-kɛ-maa lɛ nuu kelee mɛni ma goyaŋ su? (Lomaŋ 1:11, 12) (b) Le ɓe a ilii nɛ̃ɛ e pilaŋ mare-kɛɛ sukulaa ma goyaŋ-ŋai su?
19 Even though no strict law on how to make comments, all of us can try hard to encourage each other when we making comment. This one can mean making comment plenty time. Or it can also mean we must be satisfy when we make one or two comments. We must also be happy that other people get the opportunity to make comment too. When we show interest in other people in the meeting, all of us will enjoy encouraging each other.—Read Romans 1:11, 12.
a We can encourage each other when we make comment in meeting. But some people can be scare to make comment. Other people like making comment. And because of that, they can want the conductor to call them plenty time. In any of this situation them, how we can show that we care for each other so that all of us can be encourage? And how we can make comments that can encourage our brother and sister them to show love and do good work? That what this article will talk about.
