Retwe Abɛn Agyenkwa no

Yɛrehwehwɛ ahunu na yɛadɔ Agyenkwa no, yɛte yɛn ho firi wiase mu nam apam a yɛ ne Onyankopɔn wɔ so, na yɛda nso, ma yɛn ho yɛna, ne sononko berɛ a yɛdi Ɔne Ne nkyerɛkyerɛ nni, berɛ a yɛntwe yɛn ho mfiri wɔn a wɔn gyedie da nso.

Menuanom mmarima ne mmaa, anwummerɛ yi mekasa kyerɛ Yesu Kristo akyidifoɔ ahobrɛaseɛfoɔ ne adɔfoɔ. Sɛdeɛ mehunu mo abrabɔ papa ne mo gyedie wɔ Yesu Kristo mu wɔ saa ɔman yi mu, ne aman a atwa wiase afanan ho ahyia no, Medɔ mo nyinaa dodo.

Ne som reba awieɛ no, Yesu akyidifoɔ no bisaa No sɛ ɔnka nkyerɛ wɔn “ [Ne Mmaeɛ a ɛtɔ so Mmienu] no ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ, ne wiase awieeɛ no.”1

Yesu kakyerɛɛ wɔ sɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛbɛdi Ne mmaeɛ no anim na ɔpaee mu de wiee sɛ, “Sɛ mohunu yeinom nyinaa a, [mobɛ] hunu sɛ [mmerɛ no abɛn.”2

Wɔ amansan nhyiamu a ɛtwaa mu no, metiee Titenani Henry B. Erying nsɛm yie: “Yɛn mu biara,” ɔsee, “baabi a yɛwɔ biara, nim sɛ yɛwɔ mmerɛ a ɛrekɔ so yɛ hu mu. Obiara a ɔwɔ ani de hunu ɛnnɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ ne aso de tie nkɔmhyɛfoɔ nsɛm no nim sɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ.”3

Agyenkwa no kamfoo N’asuafoɔ akokoɔdurufoɔ no: “Nhyira ne mo ani, sɛ mo hunu: ne mo aso, ɛfiri sɛ ɛteɛ.”4 Ma saa nhyira yi ɛnyɛ yɛn dea berɛ a yɛretie Awurade nsɛm nam nkɔmhyɛfoɔ so wɔ saa nhyiamu yi mu.

Ayuo ne Wura

Awurade no kyerɛkyerɛɛ mu sɛ wɔ mmerɛ a ɛtwa toɔ yi mu ansa na Ne mmaeɛ aba no, “ayuo,” a ɔkyerɛɛ mu sɛ “ahemman no mu mma ,”5 ne ayuo no bɛnyini abɔ mu “wura,” anaasɛ wɔn a wɔnnɔ Onyankopɔn ne Ne mmaransɛm no. Wɔn nyinaa “bɛnyini abɔ mu”6 afa afa.

Yei ne yɛn wiase de kɔsi sɛ Agyenkwa no bɛsan aba, na dodoɔ no a ɛyɛ papa no ne dodoɔ no a ɛyɛ bɔne no wɔ afa afa.7

Ɛtɔ da a wonte nka sɛ woyɛ ayuo dua a ɛwɔ ahoɔden, na anyini. Nya wo ho aboterɛ! Awurade kaa sɛ ayuo no bɛka ahahan a ayɛ bɛtɛɛ na ɛrefefɛ no ho.8 Yɛn nyinaa, yɛ Ne Nna a Ɛdi Akyire Ahotefoɔ, na mmom nyɛ deɛ yɛrehwehwɛ ayɛ nyinaa ni, yɛn ani abere wɔ yɛn pɛ mu sɛ yɛbɛyɛ N’asuafoɔ nokwafoɔ.

Yɛnhyɛ Yɛn Gyidie wɔ Yesu Kristo mu Den

Yɛhunu sɛ sɛdeɛ bɔne redɔɔso wɔ wiase mu no, yɛn honhom mu asetenane wɔn a yɛdɔ wɔn asetena mu, bɛhia sɛ yɛtete, hyɛden, hyɛ mu kena, na yɛhyɛ yɛn nhini wɔ Yesu Kristo gyedie mu den. Osuani Paulo tuu yɛn fo sɛ yɛntintim,9 y’ani nna hɔ, na yɛnnyina10 pintinn wɔ ɔdɔ a yɛwɔ ma Agyenkwa no ne yɛn mmɔden a yɛrebɔ adi N’akyi no. Ɛnnɛ ne nna a ɛdi y’anim no hia ahwɛyie ne anidahɔ mmɔden, rewɛn atia kwanfom ne aniannahɔ.11

Mpo wɔ wiase ahonyadeɛ nsunsuansoɔ a ɛredɔɔsoɔ a atwa yɛn ho ahyia no, ɛnsɛ sɛ yɛbɔ hu. Awurade mpo N’apam nkorɔfoɔ da. Mpata honhom tumi akyɛdeɛ ne soro akwankyerɛ bi wɔ hɔ ma ateneneefoɔ.12 Saa nhyira yi a ɛka honhom tumi ho no, mmom, ɛtena yɛn so sɛ yɛka awoɔntoatoasoɔ yi ho. Ɛba berɛ a yɛhyɛ yɛn gyedie wɔ Awurade Yesu Kristo mu no den na yɛdi Ne mmaransɛm so, berɛ a yɛte No ase na yɛdɔ no. “Na yei ne daa nkwa,” Yesu kaaeɛ“ sɛ wɔbehu wo, nokorɛ Nyankopɔn koro no, ne Yesu Kristo, a wosomaa no no.”13

Sɛdeɛ yɛnim yie no, worenya gyedie wɔ Yesu Kristo mu na wayɛ suani nokwafoɔ na mu boro dakoro pɛ nsusuiɛ—ɛboro dakoro pɛ dwumadie so. Ɛyɛ kronkron adeɛ a, ɛrekɔ so na ɛnyini na ɛtrɛ fa yɛn abrabɔ mmerɛ mu, toaso ara kɔsi sɛ yɛbɛbu nkotodwe wɔ Ne nan ase.

Na ayuo no renyini wɔ wura no ntam wɔ wiase mu, sɛn na yɛbɛtumi adɔ sukɔ na yɛahyɛ yɛn ahofama ma Agyenkwa no mu den wɔ nna a ɛdi y’anim no?

Adwenkyerɛ mmiɛnsa nie:

Yɛnnɔsukɔ wɔ Yesu Abrabɔ mu

Deɛ ɛdi kan, yɛbɛtumi de yɛn ho awura mu yie wɔ Yesu abrabɔ mu, Ne nkyerɛkyerɛ, Ne kɛseyɛ, Ne tumi, ne Ne dima afɔrebɔ mu. Agyenkwa no kaa sɛ, “Fa w’ani to me so wɔ nsusuiɛ biara mu.”14 Ɔsomafoɔ Yohane kae yɛn sɛ, “Yɛdɔ no, ɛfiri sɛ ɔdii kan dɔɔ yɛn.”15 Berɛ a yɛrenya suahunu wɔ Ne dɔ mu yie no, yɛdɔ no dodo mpo boro sɛdeɛ wɔrehwehwɛ, di Ne dɔ nhwɛsoɔ so yie na yɛhwɛ wɔn a wɔatwa yɛho ahyia yie. Wɔ tenenee anammɔntuo biara a yɛde bɛn No no, yɛhunu No yie pa ara.16 Yɛ kamfo No, na yɛbɔ mmɔden biara sɛ yɛbɛsua No.17

Ɛne Awurade no nyɛ Apam

Deɛ ɛdi hɔ, berɛ a yɛhunu na yɛdɔ Agyenkwa no, yɛnya ɔpɛ bebree sɛ yɛhyɛ No bɔ wɔ yɛn akyitae ne gyedie mu. Yɛ ne No yɛ apam. Yɛde y’asubɔ bɔhyɛ hyɛ aseɛ, na yɛgye saa bɔhyɛ yi ne afoforɔ to muberɛ a yɛsakyera dabiara, bisa bɔnefakyɛ, na yɛde nsiyɛ hwɛ kwan sɛ yɛbɛgye Awurade adidi no nnawɔtwe biara. Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ “yɛbɛkae no mmerɛ nyinaa na yɛadi ne mmaransɛm so.”18

Sɛ yɛwie ahoboa yɛ a, yɛsɔ tɛmpol ayɛyɛdeɛ ne apam mu. Yɛrete ɛnniawieɛ nsunsuansoɔ nka wɔ yɛn kronkron, komm mmerɛ mu wɔ Awurade fie no, yɛde anigyeɛ ne Onyankopɔn yɛ apam na yɛhyɛ yɛn adwene sɛ yɛbɛdi so.

Yɛreyɛ na yɛadi apam so ma Agyenkwa no ho dɔ wura y’akoma mu dɔ sukɔ. Wɔ bosome yi Laehona, mu Titenani Nelson kaa sɛ: “[Yɛn] apam bɛdi y’anim abɛn No nkakra nkakra. Onyankopɔn nto N’ayɔnkofa a wɔne wɔn a wɔapere ne no yɛ nkabɔmu no asaworam.”19 Na sɛdeɛ Titenani Nelson kaa no fɛfɛɛfɛ anɔpa yi no, “Tɛmpol foforɔ biara a wɔbɛbue ano no, Onyankopɔn tumi foforɔ bɛka asase so deɛ no ho de ahyɛ yɛn den de ko atia ɔsɛefoɔ no mmɔden a ɛredɔɔsoɔ no.”20

Yɛbɛtumi ahunu deɛ nti a Awurade ma Ne nkɔmhyɛni akwankyerɛ sɛ ɔmfa tɛmpol mmɛn yɛn na ama yɛakɔ Ne fie mpɛn bebree no?

Sɛ yɛwura tɛmpol mu a, wɔgye yɛn mmerɛ kakra firi wiase nsunsuansoɔ a ɛsɔretia yɛn, berɛ a yɛsua yɛn botaeɛ wɔ abrabɔ mu ne ɛnni awieɛ akyɛdeɛ wɔde ma yɛn nam Y’Agyenkwa, Yesu Kristo so.

Bɔ Sunsum Kronkron Akyɛdeɛ no ho ban

Ɛtwa toɔ, me nsusuiɛ a ɛtɔ so mmiɛnsa: Wɔ saa abisadeɛ kronkron yi mu no, yɛsom no, bɔ ho ban, ma ahobammɔ wɔ Sunsum Kronkron akyɛdeɛ no ho. Titenani M. Russell Ballard anɔpa yi ne Elder Kevin W.

Yɛbɔ yɛn ho mmɔden bɔ yɛn daadaa suahunu ho ban sɛ Sunsum Kronkron no nkɛntɛnsoɔ bɛka yɛn ho. Yɛyɛ kanea ma wiase, na berɛ a ɛsɛ mu, yɛfiri yɛn pɛ mu yi sɛ yɛbɛda nso afiri afoforɔ ho. Titenanit Dallin H. Oaks bisaa mmabunu no nnansa yi sɛ: “Mosi [mo] bo sɛ mobɛda nso anaa? [Titire] deɛ ɛhia pa ara yɛ deɛ moyi a moreyɛ wɔ mo abrabɔ mu. Morekɔ nkan de atia wiase sɔretia?”22

Titeneni Nelson kaa sɛ, “Ampa mote wiase mu deɛ, nanso mowɔ susudua sononko firi wiase ho a ɛbɛboa mo ama mo akwati wiase nkenkaawa.”24
