Asɔrfi Dadaw a ɔwɔ Zwickau

Afe 2024 yɛ afe soronko ma me. Ɔyɛ mfe 75 fitsi ber a wonumaa me na wosii me pi dɛ Jesus Christ N’Asɔr a ɔwɔ hɔ Ma Nda a Odzi Ekyir Ahotseweefo no asɔrba wɔ Zwickau, Germany.

M’asɔrbayɛ wɔ Jesus Christ N’Asɔr mu no som mo bo. Dɛ wɔbɛkan me akã Nyankopɔn n’ahyɛmu nkorɔfo ho, menye hom, mo nuanom na nkyerɛbaa no, yɛ m’abrabɔ mu enyimnyamhyɛ akɛse mu kor.

Sɛ modwen mankasa m’ankorankor akwantu wɔ osuanyiyɛ ho a, m’adwen taa kɔ ekyir kɔ dan dadaw bi a ɔwɔ Zwickau, bea a nna mokɔ Jesus Christ N’Asɔr ne sacrament nhyiamu wɔ mo mbofra ber mu ho nkaa asom mo bo. Hɔ na me dasegye a wɔafefɛw no nyaa edziban ahyɛse koraa no.

Asɔrdan yi nna ɔwɔ sianku a wɔdze mframa bɔ. Kwesida biara wɔma aberantsɛba baako edwuma dɛ ompia afa ne daadze-anan no nkɔ sor na ase ama sianku no aayɛ edwuma. Ɔtɔfabi a ɔyɛ me adom kɛse dɛ moboa wɔ edwuma a ohia dɛm ho.

Ber a mboanofo no rotow hɛn asɔr ndwom a yɛpɛ no kɛse no, medze m’ahoɔdzen nyina pĩapia do amma sianku no mframa no ammpa. Fi afa n’edwumayɛnyi egua do no, mutum hu gyirass ntokura a wɔakekã mu a kor kyerɛ Agyenkwa Jesus Christ na kor no so kyerɛ Joseph Smith wɔ Kwã Krɔnkrɔn no mu.

Bea krɔnkrɔn hɔ no, Nyame no Sunsum gyee dase kyerɛɛ m’adwen na m’akoma dɛ ɔyɛ nokwar, Jesus Christ nye wiadze Agyenkwa no. Iyi nye N’Asɔr. Nkɔnhyɛnyi Joseph Smith hun Nyame Egya no na Jesus Christ na ɔtsee Hɔn ndze.

Afe yi ahyɛse mu no, ber a mowɔ edwumayɛ wɔ Europe no, menyaa kwan sanee kɔr Zwickau. Ɔyɛ yaw dɛ, nna asɔrdan dadaw no a yɛdɔ no nnyi hɔ bio. Woebubu no egu famu mfe pii a abɛsen kɔ no ama woeenya kwan esi dan kɛse a nkorɔfo bɛtsena mu.

Ebɛnadze na Ɔyɛ Onnyiewiei, na Ebɛnadze na Ɔnnyɛ Onnyiewiei?

Megye to mu dɛ ɔyɛ yaw dɛ mubohu dɛ me dan no a mepɛ fitsi me mbafober mu no, sesei ɔwɔ m’adwen mu ara. Nna ɔyɛ dan krɔnkrɔn ma me. Naaso ɔyɛ dan ara.

Naaso, n’afã bi no, sunsum mu dasegye a menyae fi Sunsum Krɔnkrɔn hɔ mfe pii a bɛsen kɔ no nkɔree. Nokwar, oenyin ahyɛ dzen yie. Ndzɛmba a musũae wɔ me mbabun ber mu wɔ Jesus Christ asɛmpa ho ahyɛse fapem horow no ayɛ me fapem a ɔyɛ dzen wɔ m’abrabɔ nyina mu. Ahyɛmu nkitahodzi a menye mo Ɔsor Egya na No Dɔba yɛe no aka me nkyɛn—mfe pii ekyir a woyiyii Zwickau asɔrdan no na gyirass ntokura a wɔakekã mu no yewee no.

Jesus Christ see dɛ, “Ɔsor nye asaase botwa mu akɔ na me nsɛm dze, orunntwa mu.”

“Na mbepɔw botutu akɔ, na akoko atwetwe hɔnho, na mbom m’ayamuyie dze orunntutu mmfi wo nkyɛn, eso m’asomdwee ahyɛmu no ronntwe no ho. Ewuradze na ɔse.”

Ndzɛmba a ohia papaapa mu kor a yebotum esũa wɔ abrabɔ yi mu nye nsonsonee a ɔda dza ɔyɛ onnyiewiei na dza ɔnnyɛ onnyiewiei ntamu. Yenya ɔno ho ntseasee a, biribiara sesã—hɛn nkitahodzi, nsanmuyi horow a yɛyɛ, na kwan a yɛfa do hwɛ nkorɔfo

Yenyim dza ɔyɛ onnyiewiei na dza ɔnnyɛ no yɛ kwan a wɔfa do nya dasegye wɔ Jesus Christ na N’Asɔr ho.

Mma Mmfom Mmfa Nkorbata Nnyɛ Ndwow no

Jesus Christ asɛmpa a wɔdze asan ananmu aba no, dɛ mbrɛ Nkɔnhyɛnyi Joseph Smith kyerɛkyerɛɛ no “fua biribiara, na adze biara a ɔyɛ nokwar.” Mbom ɔno nnkyerɛ dɛ nokwar nyina no bo a ɔsom no yɛ pɛr. Nokwar binom dɔ bun mu, wɔyɛ tsitsir, wɔwɔ hɛn nyamesom no ndwow ho. Nkaa no yɛ mbataho anaa nkorbata—wɔsom bo, mbom gyedɛ ber a wɔkã ahyɛse fapem ho no nko.

Nkɔnhyɛnyi Joseph so kãa dɛ, “Hɛn nyamesom n’asɛmpa fapem no nye Asomafo na Nkɔnhyɛfo, hɔn dasegye, wɔ Jesus Christ ho dɛ Owui, wosie No, na da a otsĩa ebiasa no Ɔsoɛree bio, na Ɔfowee kɔr sor, na ndzɛmba nyina a ɔfa hɛn nyamesom ho no yɛ iyi ho mbataho.”

Anaaso dɛ, Jesus Christ na No werdam afɔrbɔ no nye hɛn dasegye no ndwow. Ndzɛmba nkaa no nyina yɛ nkorbata.

Iyi nnyɛ dɛ yɛrekã dɛ nkorbata ho nnhia. Dua hia no nkorbata. Mbom tse dɛ ma Agyenkwa no kãa kyerɛɛ N’esuafo no, “Dɛ mbrɛ abaw nntum mmfi noara no mu nnsow aba, gyedɛ ɔtsena wenyin dua no mu.” Sɛ enye Agyenkwa nnya nkitahodzi a, nnya edziban no a ɔwɔ ndwow no mu a, nkorbata no kyenkyen na owu.

Sɛ ɔba no yɛrema hɛn dasegye wɔ Jesus Christ mu edziban a, ɔyɛ a modwen ho dɛ sɛ yɛfom dze nkorbata no yɛ ndwow. Iyi nye mfom a Jesus hyɛɛ no nsew wɔ Phariseefo mu wɔ Ne nda mber no. Wɔdze hɔn adwen nyina too mbra no mu ndzɛmba nketsenketse do na ewiei no wogyaa dza Agyenkwa no frɛɛ no “mbra no mu dza ɔyɛ dur no”—ahyɛse fapem horow tse dɛ “atsɛmbu, ehumbɔbɔr nye gyedzi.”

Sɛ ipɛ dɛ igugu dua n’ase fa, mmfa nsu mmpetse no nkorbata no do. Edze nsu gugu ndwow no do. Dɛmara so, sɛ ipɛ dɛ wo dasegye nkorbata nyin na wɔsow eduaba a, gugu ndwow no do fa. Sɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ anaa ndzeyɛɛ anaa Asɔr abakɔsɛm mu biribi pɔkyee bi na nntse ase yie a, fa gyedzi hwehwɛ nkyerɛkyerɛmu wɔ Jesus Christ mu. Hwehwɛ dɛ ibɛtse N’afɔrbɔ ma wo, No dɔ ma wo na Ne pɛ ma wo no ase. Ka No do ahobrɛadze mu. Wo dasegye nkorbata horow no bɔtwe ahoɔdzen efi wo gyedzi a ɔrodɔ bun mu wɔ Ɔsor Egya na No Dɔba mu.

Mfatoho, sɛ ipɛ Mormon Nwoma no ho dasegye a ɔyɛ dzen a, tsim wɔ ne dase wɔ Jesus Christ ho. Hyɛ no nsew mbrɛ Mormon Nwoma no gye Noho dase, dza ɔkyerɛkyerɛ fa Noho, na mbrɛ osi to nsa frɛ na okenyan wo ma iba No hɔ.

Sɛ erohwehwɛ sũahu ho ntseasee yie wɔ Asɔr nhyiamu anaa wɔ temple mu a, bɔ mbɔdzen hwehwɛ Agyenkwa no wɔ ayɛdze krɔnkrɔn no a yɛgye no wɔ hɔ. Hwehwɛ Ewuradze wɔ Ne fie krɔnkrɔn mu.

Sɛ inya atsenkã dɛ w’ahom apa anaa w’Asɔr ɔfrɛ abor wo do a, bɔ mbɔdzen dɛ edze wo som betsim Jesus Christ do. Ma ɔnyɛ dza ɔkyerɛ wo dɔ ma No.

Gugu ndwow no ase fa, na nkorbata no befir. Na mber rugu mu no, wɔbɔsow eduaba.

Hom Agye Ndwow na Wɔdze Hom Esi No Do

Gyedzi wɔ Jesus Christ mu a ɔyɛ dzen no mmba adzekyee enyim ara kwa. Oho, ɔnnkyebo wiadze yi, ɔyɛ nhwirom nye nsoɛ na wofifir ara. Gyedzi dua a ɔsow eduaba a ɔwɔ apɔwmudzen no hia enyida ho mbɔdzembɔ. Na mbɔdzembɔ no mu afã kɛse a ohia papaapa nye yɛrohwɛ no yie dɛ yeagye ndwow a ɔyɛ dzen wɔ Christ mu.

Mfatoho: Ahyɛse no, bia dza ɔbɔtwe hɛn aba Agyenkwa no n’asɛmpa na Asɔr no nye osiandɛ asɔrmba hɔn anyɛnkoyɛ anaa bishop yamuyiefo bi anaa mbrɛ asɔrfi hɔ si tsew no. Nokwar gyinabew yinom hia papaapa ama Asɔr no enyin.

Naaso, sɛ hɛn dasegye no ndwow nnyin nnkɔ ase nkyɛn dɛm a, ebɛn adze na ɔbɛba sɛ yetu kɔ ward fofor a wohyiamu wɔ dan a ɔnnyɛ enyisɔ mu, a asɔrmba no nnyɛ anyɛnkoyɛ, na bishop no kã asɛm a ɔfom hɛn?

Mfatoho kor so: Ana ɔnntɔ asowa mu dɛ yebenya enyidado dɛ sɛ yesie mbrasɛm no nyina na wɔsɔw hɛn ano wɔ temple a, wɔdze ebusua a mba pii a, wɔabenben, na wɔyɛ setsie, hɔn nyina wɔbɔ hyew wɔ Asɔr no mu, wɔsom asɛmpakã, wɔtow ndwom wɔ ward adwontokuw mu, na wɔ yɛ etuhoakyɛ dze kesiesie asɔrfi mu Memenda anapa biara no, behyira hɛn a?

Mowɔ enyidado ara yie dɛ hɛn nyina bɛpɛ iyi wɔ hɛn abrabɔ mu. Mbom sɛ wɔammba no dɛm ɛ? Ana yɛbɔkɔ do afam Agyenkwa no ho a hɛn gyinabew mmfa ho—yɛatwer No na Ne mber pa a?

Otwar dɛ yebisa hɛnho: Ana me dase gyina biribi a mowɔ ho enyidado dɛ ɔbɛba wɔ m’abrabɔ mu a? Ana ogyina binom ndzeyɛɛ anaa su do a? Anaa otsim Jesus Christ do ara yie, “ɔagye ndwow na wɔdze esi no mu,” a abrabɔ gyinabew a ɔsesã no mmfa ho?

Amambra horow, Suban horow, na Gyedzi

Mormon Nwoma no kã nkorɔfo binom a “wodzii Nyankopɔn n’ayɛdze do pɛpɛɛpɛr.” Mbom okyingyefo bi a wɔfrɛ no Korihor bae, a orisi Agyenkwa n’asɛmpa no atwetwe, refrɛ no “nkwaseasɛm” na hɔn egyanom hɔn nkwasea amambra.” Korihor “twee dodowara hɔn akoma, ma hɔn tsir mu yɛɛ dzen dze yɛɛ emumuyɛdze.” Mbom oenntum anndaadaa binom, osiandɛ wɔfaa Jesus Christ asɛmpa no dɛ ɔyɛ dza ɔbor amambra.

Gyedzi mu yɛ dzen ber a ɔwɔ ndwow a ɔdɔ ara yie wɔ ankorankor sũahu, ankorankor enyimpi si ma Jesus Christ, a ɔtsew no ho fi dza hɛn amambra tse anaa dza binom bɛkã anaa wɔbɛyɛ.

Wɔbɔsɔ hɛn gyedzi ahwɛ ara yie. Gyedzi nnyɛ gyedzi sɛ wɔannsɔ no annhwɛ a. Gyedzi nnyɛ dzen sɛ wonntsia no dabiarada a. Ntsi mma w’abaw nngura sɛ wɔsɔ wo gyedzi hwɛ a anaa nsɛmbisa horow a nnya nyiano.

Onnyi dɛ hɛn enyi da kwan dɛ yɛbɛtse biribiara ase ansaana yetu anamɔn. Ɔno nnyɛ gyedzi koraa. Dɛ mbrɛ Alma kyerɛkyerɛɛ no, “Nnyɛ gyedzi nye dɛ ibenya nyimdzee a odzi mu wɔ ndzɛmba ho.” Sɛ yɛtweɔn dɛ yebotu anamɔn kɛpem dɛ hɛn nsɛmbisa nyina benya nyiano a, yɛtsew papa a yebotum ayɛ do, na yɛtsew hɛn gyedzi no tum do.

Gyedzi yɛ fɛɛfɛw osiandɛ ɔkɔ do ber mpo a nhyira horow mmba. dɛ mbrɛ enyi da do no. Yennkotum ehu ndaamba, yennyim nyiano ne nyinara, mbom yebotum atwer Jesus Christ na yɛakɔ do akɔ kan na yɛakɔ sor osiandɛ Ɔno nye hɛn Agyenkwa na hɛn Pomfo.

Gyedzi sɔw nsɔhwɛ na abrabɔ mu dza yennyim ho osiandɛ otsim dzen wɔ Christ na Ne nkyerɛkyerɛ mu. Jesus Christ na hɛn Ɔsor Egya a Ɔsomaa No no, wɔbɔmu a, Hɔn na yebotum yɛatwer Hɔn emudzi mu a Wɔnnsesã.

Dasegye nnyɛ dza yenya no prɛko na ogyina afebɔɔ. Ɔtse dɛ dua a daa daa egugu do fa. Irudua Nyame n’asɛm wɔ w’akoma mu no nye anamɔn a odzi kan. Wo dasee ahyɛase renyin no, nkyii na edwumayɛ ankasa no hyɛ ase! Ɔno gye ber a ahwɛyie mu ara “egugu do fa,” ama oenya ndwow, oetum enyin, na ɔasow eduaba pii.” Ɔgye “gyedzi kɛse a ɔyɛ dzen” na “asɛm no ho abotar.” Mbom Ewuradze n’anohoba yɛ nokwar: “Hom bobu hom gyedzi nye hom mbɔdzembɔ, nye hom abotar, na penkyɛr ho ndɔbaa, dze atweɔn dua no ma oeyi n’eduaba ama hom.”

Enuanom na nkyerɛbaa adɔfo, m’anyɛnkofo adɔfo, m’afã bi fẽ Zwickau asɔrdan dadaw no na ne gyirass ntokura a wɔakekã mu no. Mbom mfe 75 a abɛsen yi, Jesus Christ egya me wɔ abrabɔ akwantu a ɔyɛ enyigye koraa kyɛn dza nkyɛ mubotum esusu biara ho.
