Ɛdi kan: Yɛn Tebea Dada ne Foforɔ Ntumi Nsesa Yɛn Daakye

Anuanom mmaa, menim sɛ mo mu dodoɔ no wɔ atenka a menyaaeɛ no, a monhunu sɛdeɛ mobɛhyia haw a ano yɛ den na moahwere—ahwere ɛfiri sɛ nneɛma remmuebue abrabɔ mu sɛdeɛ mode mo ani too soɔ, bɔɔ mpaeɛ, na mohyehyɛeɛ no.

Ɛmfa ho ne yɛn tebea, yɛn nkwa yɛ kronkron na ɛwɔ nteaseɛ ne botaeɛ. Yɛn mu biara yɛ Onyankopɔn dɔ babaa, a wɔwoo yɛn wɔ kronkronyɛ mu wɔ yɛn kra mu.

Yɛn Agyenkwa, Yesu Kristo, nam Ne mpata afɔrebɔ so, ama ho kwan sɛ yɛn ho bɛte na yɛanya ayaresa, aboa yɛn ama yɛahyɛ yɛn botaeɛ wɔ asase so ma ɛmfa ho ne abusuafoɔ adwenkyerɛ, yɛn awareɛ gyinabea, honam ne adwene mu apɔmuden, anaa tebea biara mu.

Dwene ɔbaa a na ɔwɔ nsubura no ho. Na n’abrabɔ te sɛn? Yesu hunuu sɛ wafa mmarima num na deɛ ɔne no wɔ hɔ saa berɛ no nyɛ ne kunu. Na afei, n’abrabɛ mu haw akyi, Agyenkwa no paemuka baako sɛ Ɔne Messia no na ɛkɔ ma no. Ɔkaa sɛ, “Me a me ne wo rekasa yi mene no.”²

Ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔdansefoɔ kɛseɛ, daa no adi kyerɛɛ ne kuromfoɔ sɛ Yesu ne Kristo no. “Na Samariafoɔ a wɔwɔ kuro no mu gyee no dii ɛwɔ deɛ ɔbaa no kaae no.”³

Ne tebea dada ne foforɔ no ankyerɛ ne daakye. Te sɛ ɔno, yɛbɛtumi akyerɛ sɛ yɛbɛdane yɛn ho ama Agyenkwa no ɛnnɛ apɛ ahoɔden ne ayaresa a ɛbɛboa yɛn ama yɛahyɛ deɛ wɔde yɛn baa ha sɛ yɛmmɛyɛ no nyinaa ma.

Ɛtɔ so mmienu: Tumi No Wɔ Yɛn mu

Wɔ Nkyerɛkyerɛ ne Apam mu nyiyimu bi a menim mu no, Awurade hyɛ mmaa ne mmarima sɛ “wɔmfa mo ho nhyɛ adwuma pa mu, na wɔnyɛ nneɛma bebree mfiri wɔn ankasa pɛ mu, na wɔnna teneeyɛ pii adi; na tumi no wɔ wɔn mu.”⁴

Anuanom mmaa, tumi no wɔ yɛn mu sɛ yɛmfa teneneeyɛ pii mmera!

Titenani Russell M. Nelson dii adanseɛ sɛ “Ɔbaa biara anaa ɔbarima biara a ɔne Onyankopɔn yɛ apam na ɔkora saa apam no, na ɔyɛ asɔfodie ayɛyɛdeɛ wɔ ahoteɛ kwan so, wɔ kwan tee wɔ Onyankopɔn tumi no ho.”⁵

Mabɛhunu sɛ berɛ a yɛpere di apam kronkron a yɛyɛ no wɔ asubɔ mu ne tɛmpol kronkron mu nni no, Awurade bɛhyira yɛn ”wɔ N’ ayaresa ne denhyɛ tumi mu” ne “honhom mu nhumu ne nkanyan a [yɛnnyaa] bi da.”⁶

Ɛtɔ so mmiensa: “Nneɛma Nketewa Mu Na Akɛseɛ Firi ba ”⁷

Wɔ bepɔ so asɛnka no mu, Yesu kyerɛkyerɛɛ N’asuafoɔ no, “Mone nkyene wɔ asase so”⁸ na“ Mone hann wɔ wiase.”⁹ Akyire yi Ɔde ɔsoro ahennie no nyini totoo mmɔka “a ɔbaa bi fa kɔfraa esiam korokuma mmiɛnsa, de kɔsii sɛ ne nyinaa kaeɛ.”¹⁰

Mpo wɔ ade ketewa biara mu, ɛbiara ka biribiara a atwa ɛho ahyia no. Agyenkwa no to nsa frɛ yɛn sɛ yɛmfa Ne tumi no nyɛ te sɛ nkyene, mmɔka, ne hann.

Nkyene

Ɛyɛ nwanwa sɛdeɛ nkyene a wɔde pete deɛ yɛdie so dɛ nsonoeɛ teɛ. Nanso nkyene yɛ akadeɛ baako a ɛyɛ foɔ na ɛyɛ ketekete koraa.

Wɔ 2 Ahemfo nwoma no mu, yɛkenkan fa “abaawa ketewa bi ho,”¹¹ a Syriafoɔ faa no nkoasom mu na ɔbɛyɛɛ abaawa maa Naaman yere, Syria asraafoɔ panin. Na ɔte sɛ nkyene; na ɔsua, a wiase nhia no, na n’asetena mu te sɛ afena a ɔwɔ ɔman foforɔ so na ɛnyɛ adeɛ a ɔde n’ani too soɔ ne no.

Mmom, ɔde Onyankopɔn tumi kaa kasamu mmienu, redi adanseɛ kyerɛ Naama yere: “Sɛ anka me wura wɔ odiyifoɔ a ɔwɔ Samaria no anim a! ɛnneɛ anka ɔbɛsa ne kwata yi ama no.”¹²

Ne gyedie nsɛm yi wɔde too Naaman anim, na ɔde ne nsɛm no yɛɛ adwuma, a ɛmaa no ayaresa wɔ honam ne honhom nyinaa mu.

Yɛtaa twe yɛn adwene si akoa a ɔsesaa Naaman adwene maa no dwaree wɔ asubɔntene Jordan mu, sɛdeɛ nkɔmhyɛni Elisha kyerɛeɛ no, nanso sɛ ɛnnyɛ “abaawa ketewa bi a” anka Naaman rennkɔ Elisha pono ano mpo.

Wobɛtumi ayɛ ketewa anaa afa no sɛ wo ho nni mfasoɔ, nanso wobɛtumi ayɛ te sɛ nkyene wɔ w’abusua mu, wɔ sukuu ne wo mantam mu.

Mmɔka

Woadi burodo pɛn a mmɔka nni mu? Sɛn na wobɛsi akyerɛkyerɛ mu? Piti-piti? Duruduro? Denden? Mmɔka ketekete, ma burodo tu, ɛmu bae bɛyɛ hare ne bɛtɛɛ.
