We must suffer plenty things before we enter the Kingdom of God.—Acts 14:22.
Jehovah bless Christians for the apostles time because them continue to endure when problem come. Plenty times, people suffer Christians for apostles time, and sometimes na when them no expect-am. Make we talk about wetin happen to Barnabas and Paul when them de preach for Lystra. The day wey them first reach there, the people welcome them well and listen to them. But later, some people wey dey against the preaching work make the people hate Paul and Barnabas and them try use stone kill apostle Paul.

O Jehovah, listen to my prayer; And hear me as I de beg for help. I go pray to you the day wey I get problem, because I dey sure say you go answer me.—Ps. 86:6, 7.

Jehoiada help Jehoash to be good king. Because of this one, King Jehoash worship Jehovah well when e dey young. But after Jehoiada die, Jehoash start to listen to prince them wey no de worship Jehovah. (2 Chron. 24:4, 17, 18) This one really pain Jehovah, so e send different-different prophets to go warn them, but them no gree listen. Them no even listen to Zechariah wey be Jehoiada pikin.

Jehovah don talk before say anybody wey no respect-am, e no go value the person. (1 Sam. 2:30) Jehoash get plenty army, but when e go fight war with Syria people wey their army no plenty, them win Jehoash army and wound Jehoash well-well.

Apostle Paul spend some time de preach and teach for Ephesus. (Acts 19:1, 8-10; 20:20, 21) E love im brothers and sisters well-well, so e want help them continue to hold Jehovah tight. Before, the people for Ephesus wey Paul de write to, be dey lie-lie religion, put trust for magic, and when something happen to them, them believe say no be ordinary. People for Ephesus de do all kind of dirty things and them no de shame to do-am. Them de talk joke about sex for party, even when them de do party to worship their gods. (Eph. 5:3) Many people for Ephesus “no de care again about wetin good or bad.” (Eph. 4:17-19) Before the Christians for Ephesus learn the truth, their mind no de worry them if them do wetin Jehovah hate. Na this one make apostle Paul describe them as people wey “dey darkness for the way them de think and them no dey part of the life wey God de give.” But some people for Ephesus no continue to stay for darkness. w24.03 20 ¶2, 4; 21 ¶5-6

(Judg. 7:22) Gideon and e men stop when them reach River Jordan? No! Even though say them don tire, them continue to pursue Midian people until them catch Midian people and win them for the war.

(Judg. 6:14, 34) E get one time wey Gideon and e men use leg pursue two king of Midian people wey de use camel run. (Judg. 8:12, 21) But God help Gideon and e men to fit catch and win them.

[Jehovah] no go reject una and e no go leave una.—Deut. 31:6.

Even though say soldiers for Israel that time no get wetin them fit use protect theirself and fight their enemy for war, Jehovah tell Barak say make e go fight Sisera and e army wey get plenty weapon. (Judg. 5:8) Jehovah use Deborah tell Barak say make e go down from mountain to where ground level, go fight Sisera and e 900 chariot.

The person wey don endure reach the end, them go save-am.—Matt. 24:13.
We need to dey patient to fit get life wey no go end. Just like servant of Jehovah for Bible, we need to dey patient as we de wait for Jehovah to do the things wey e promise. (Heb. 6:11, 12) Bible compare us to farmer. (James 5:7, 8.) Farmer de work hard to plant and put water for wetin e plant, but e no know the time wey e go grow. So the farmer go dey patient as e de wait because e dey sure say e go harvest wetin e plant. Na so e still be with us, we go continue to work hard as we de worship Jehovah even though say we “no know the day wey [our] Lord de come.” (Matt. 24:42) We go continue to dey patient as we de wait because we dey sure say Jehovah go do all the things wey e promise, for the correct time.

The toes for the leg na iron wey them mix with clay.—Dan. 2:42.
When we compare wetin dey Daniel 2:41-43 with other chapter for the book of Daniel and Revelation, we go fit talk say the feet of the image stand for Britain and America government wey come together to form one world power. And for this our time, na them get power pass for the whole world. Prophet Daniel talk say this world power “go strong for one way and still weak for another way.” Why e still weak? Because the people wey them de rule, wey stand for the clay de make the government weak and no fit use their strong power for some matter. We learn plenty things from the dream about the image wey prophet Daniel explain to King Nebuchadnezzar, and especially about the feet of the image. Number one, the world power wey Britain and America form don show say e strong like iron. For example, even though Britain and America join other country to win World War I and World War II, na them do the main work. But this world power don weak and e go continue to de weak because people wey them de rule de fight against each other and against the government. Number two, na this world power go be the last to rule before God Kingdom go destroy all the government for this earth. w23.08 10-11 ¶12-13

(Ps. 18:28-32; 23:2) For the same way, even with all the problem wey we de face for Satan world, “na because of Jehovah love wey no de fail we still dey alive.” (Lam. 3:22; Col. 1:11) Plenty time, David life dey for danger, and the people wey be im enemy really get power. But because e know say Jehovah love-am, and go protect-am, this one make-am no fear. E dey clear to David say Jehovah dey with-am all the time wey e de face problem, and that one make im mind come down.

If sinners want draw you comot, no follow them.—Prov. 1:10.

Even when im cousin wey be Zechariah try to correct-am, e say make them kill-am. (2 Chron. 24:20, 21; Matt. 23:35) This one really bad! Jehoash serve Jehovah well when e dey young, but later, e turn against Jehovah and kill im cousin wey be Jehovah prophet. For the end, na im own servants kill-am. (2 Chron. 24:22-25) If to say e continue to worship Jehovah well and de listen to people wey love Jehovah, im life for no end like that. w23.09 9 ¶6

(Matt. 8:14-17; Mark 5:37, 41, 42) Another thing be say, e see vision of how Jesus go be when E don become King of God Kingdom and Peter no ever forget this one. (Mark 9:1-8; 2 Pet. 1:16-18) Peter for no enjoy this blessings if to say e no follow Jesus. Because Peter no allow the way e de feel about imself stop-am make e no follow Jesus, this one make-am enjoy plenty blessings. w23.09 21 ¶4-5

That time Peter think say e don try if e forgive im brother “reach seven times.” But Jesus answer-am say no be just seven times, but “e go reach 77 times.” This one mean say we no go de count how many times we go forgive.

The love wey Jehovah get really deep.—Jas. 5:11.
You don ever imagine how Jehovah be? Even though say we no de see Jehovah, Bible use different-different things describe Jehovah. E call Jehovah “sun and shield” and “fire wey de burn something finish.” (Ps. 84:11; Heb. 12:29) Prophet Ezekiel describe Jehovah as iron wey de shine well-well, and say e sitdown ontop throne wey be like fine stone wey them de call sapphire, and rainbow surround-am. (Ezek. 1:26-28) Because we no de see Jehovah, e fit hard us to believe say e love us. Some people think say Jehovah no go ever fit love them because of the bad things wey don happen for their life. Jehovah understand how them de feel and how e de affect them. Na im make Jehovah tell us for Bible the kind God wey e be, say e get deep love for us. The best word wey we fit ever use describe Jehovah, na love. (1 John 4:8) Na im make Bible talk say “God na love.” Na love de move-am to do everything wey e de do. Jehovah love deep well-well, na im make-am de show love even to people wey no love-am.—Matt. 5:44, 45. w24.01 26 ¶1-3

(Ex. 13:21) Moses follow the pillar and e lead them to the Red Sea. But Egypt people start to pursue them. So, Israel people begin fear say Egypt people go catch them and kill them. But no be mistake, na Jehovah use Moses lead them go there. (Ex. 14:2) And God save them from Egypt people hand. (Ex. 14:26-28) For 40 years, Moses continue to follow the pillar of cloud as e de direct Jehovah people for wilderness. (Ex. 33:7, 9, 10) When Jehovah talk to Moses from the pillar of cloud, Moses go carry the message go give Israel people. So them get plenty reason to believe say na Moses Jehovah de use direct them. w24.02 21 ¶4-5
