1. (a) ?From wanem Jisas i pulum ol man long taem blong hem blong lukaot Kingdom fastaem? (b) ?Wanem kwestin we yumi mas askem long yumi wan?
BITIM 1,900 yia bifo, Jisas i toktok long wan hip man long Galili, i pulum tingting blong olgeta se: “Yufala i mas gohed blong lukaot kingdom mo stret fasin blong [God] fastaem.” Be, long taem ya, Kraes i no king yet, bambae hem i kam King Blong Kingdom plante handred yia afta nomo. ?Taswe, from wanem Jisas i talem long ol man blong mekem olsem? From we Kingdom Blong Mesaea nao i tul we Jeova bambae i yusum blong pruvum se hem i gat raet blong rul mo blong mekem stamba tingting blong hem long saed blong wol ya i kamtru. Ale, eni man we i luksave se samting ya i impoten, hem i mas putum Kingdom ya long fasples long laef blong hem. !Sipos ol man long faswan handred yia oli mas mekem olsem, i impoten moa we yumi tede yumi mekem samting ya, from we Kraes i sidaon finis long jea blong King! Taswe, kwestin i stap nao se: ?Ol samting we mi mi mekem long laef blong mi oli soem se mi stap lukaot Kingdom Blong God fastaem?—Matiu 6:33, NW.
2. ?Wanem ol samting we bighaf blong ol man oli stap ronem long laef blong olgeta?
2 Tede plante milian man raon long wol oli stap putum Kingdom ya long fasples long laef blong olgeta. Oli soem se oli sapotem Kingdom taem oli givim laef blong olgeta i go long Jeova mo oli mekem laef blong olgeta i laenap fulwan wetem wanem we Jeova i wantem. Defren olgeta, bighaf blong ol narafala man long wol oli intres nomo long ol samting blong wol ya. Oli ronem mane mo ol sas samting wetem ol pleplei we mane i save pem. No oli putum olgeta paoa we oli gat i go long wok blong olgeta. Fasin blong laef blong olgeta i soem se oli tingbaot olgeta nomo, ol samting blong bodi mo ol pleplei. I gat sam long olgeta ya we oli bilif long God, be nating se i olsem, oli putum Hem i stap long namba tu ples long laef blong olgeta.—Matiu 6:31, 32.
3. (a) ?Jisas i pulum ol man blong hem blong lukaot wanem sas samting fastaem, mo from wanem? (b) ?From wanem yumi no nid blong wari tumas long ol samting blong laef?
3 Be, Jisas i givim advaes ya long ol disaepol blong hem i se: “I nogud yufala i stap hivimap ol gudgudfala samting blong yufala long wol ya blong kam rijman,” from we ol samting ya oli save lus. Jisas i talem se i moagud we oli ‘hivimap ol gudgudfala samting blong olgeta long heven.’ Oli mekem olsemia taem oli mekem wok blong Jeova. Hem i talem long ol man blong hem se ‘ae blong olgeta i mas [klia] gud,’ i min se oli mas putum olgeta tingting mo paoa blong olgeta i go long wok blong God. Hem i talem long olgeta se: “Yufala i no save mekem we God i bos blong yufala, be long semtaem nomo, mane tu i bos blong yufala.” ?Be olsem wanem long ol samting blong bodi we man i nidim blong laef—olsem klos, kakae, mo ples blong slip? Jisas i givim advaes ya se: “I nogud yufala i stap tingting tumas from laef blong yufala.” Hem i pulum olgeta blong tingbaot ol pijin—we God i stap givim kakae long olgeta evri dei. Jisas i pulum ol man blong hem blong lanem wan lesen from ol flaoa—we God nomo i flasemgud olgeta. Tru ya, ol man blong Jeova we oli gat waes, oli gud moa i winim ol flaoa mo pijin. Taswe Jisas i talem se: ‘Yufala i mas gohed blong lukaot kingdom mo stret fasin blong hem fastaem. Nao bambae hem i givim olgeta narafala samting ya tu [we yufala i nidim blong laef ].’ (Matiu 6:19-34) ?Ol fasin blong yu oli soemaot we yu yu bilif long samting ya?
No Letem Wan Samting i Blokem Trutok Blong Kingdom
4. ?Sipos wan man i tinghae tumas long ol sas samting we hem i gat, wanem i save kamaot?
4 I stret nomo we wan man i wantem meksua se hem wan mo famle blong hem oli gat ol samting we oli nidim blong laef. Be sipos man ya i wari bitim mak long samting ya, hem i save kasem trabol. Maet man olsem i talem se hem i bilif long Kingdom, be sipos hat blong hem i stap long ol narafala samting fastaem, hemia i save blokem trutok blong Kingdom blong i no save gru long hat blong hem. (Matiu 13:18-22) Eksampol, wan dei wan yangfala rijman i kam askem long Jisas se: “?Bambae mi mas mekem olsem wanem blong kasem laef ya we i no save finis?” Yangfala man ya i gat wan klin laef, mo i stap mekem i gud long ol narafala, be hem i stap tingting tumas long ol sas samting we hem i gat. Hem i harem se i had tumas blong lego ol samting ya blong biaenem Kraes. From samting ya, hem i mestem janis ya blong go stap wetem Kraes long Kingdom blong heven. Long taem ya, Jisas i talem se: “!Man! Bambae i strong tumas long ol rijman blong oli go insaed long niufala wol ya we God i king long hem.”—Mak 10:17-23.
5. (a) ?Pol i leftemap tingting blong Timoti blong stap glad long wanem samting, mo from wanem? (b) ?Olsem wanem Setan i stap yusum fasin blong “laekem mane tumas” olsem wan trik blong spolem man?
5 Plante yia biaen, aposol Pol i raet i go long Timoti, we long taem ya i stap long Efesas. Plante man oli stap go long taon ya Efesas blong mekem bisnes. Hem i mekem Timoti i tingbaot se: “Taem yumi bon i kam long wol ya, yumi no karem wan samting, mo taem yumi ded, bambae yumi no karem wan samting i go wetem yumi. Be sipos yumi gat kakae blong yumi mo klos blong yumi, hemia i naf, yumi save harem gud.” I stret we wan man i wok blong kasem ‘kakae mo klos’ we hem mo famle blong hem i nidim. Be Pol i givim woning se: “Ol man ya we oli wantem kam rijman, be oltaem, ol samting blong traem yumi oli stap mekem olgeta oli foldaon. Ol samting we oli wantem, we i krangke, mo we i stap spolem olgeta, i olsem trap blong kasem olgeta. Nao fasin ya blong wantem evri samting, hem i save mekem olgeta oli foldaon we laef blong olgeta i kam nogud olgeta.” Setan i save trik. Fastaem hem i save traem man long sam smosmol samting nomo. Biaen, hem i save traem hem long ol samting we oli bigwan moa. Maet wan man i gat janis blong kasem wan posisen no wan wok we pei blong hem i gud moa, be wan samting nomo se, blong mekem wok ya hem i mas yusum taem we hem i bin yusum long ol wok long saed blong spirit. Sipos yumi no lukaotgud, “fasin blong laekem mane tumas” i save blokem ol wok blong Kingdom we oli moa impoten i bitim ol narafala samting. Pol i soemaot samting ya i se: “I gat sam man we oli strong blong folem fasin ya [blong laekem mane tumas], nao oli gowe finis long fasin blong bilif. Mo oli stap mekem ol samting we olgeta tu oli harem nogud tumas from.”—1 Timoti 6:7-10.
6. (a) ?Blong no foldaon long trap blong wantem mane tumas, yumi mas mekem wanem? (b) ?Yumi save sua long wanem samting nomata we laef i had long saed blong mane?
6 Pol i soem se hem i gat trufala Kristin lav long brata blong hem, Timoti, taem hem i talem se: “Yu mas ronwe long ol samting ya,” mo, “Yu mas faet long gudfala faet ya blong bilif.” (1 Timoti 6:11, 12, NW ) Tru, yumi mas mekem bigfala traehad sipos yumi no wantem folem fasin blong wol raonabaot long yumi we i laekem mane tumas. Be sipos yumi faet from bilif blong yumi, bambae Jeova i neva lego yumi. Nating se laef i sas mo i no isi blong faenem wok, bambae hem i meksua se yumi kasem ol samting we yumi rili nidim. Pol i raetem se: “I nogud yufala i laekem mane tumas. Sipos yufala i gat wanem samting, be yufala i mas harem gud long hem, from we God i talem se, ‘Bambae mi mi no save livim yu yu stap yu wan. Bambae mi mi no save lego yu samtaem.’ Nao from samting ya, yumi save mekem tingting blong yumi i strong blong talem se, ‘Hae God i stap givhan long mi, nao bambae mi mi no save fraet. Man i no save mekem wan samting blong spolem mi.’ ” (Hibrus 13:5, 6) Mo King Deved i raetem se: “Naoia mi mi olfala, mi stap longtaem, be neva mi luk wan gudfala man we Hae God i lego hem, no ol pikinini blong man olsem we oli stap asaskem kakae olbaot.”—Ol Sam 37:25.
Ol Faswan Disaepol Oli Soem Eksampol
7. ?Wanem advaes long saed blong wok blong prij we Jisas i givim long ol disaepol blong hem, mo from wanem advaes ya i stret?
7 Afta we Jisas i givim gudfala trening long ol aposol blong hem, hem i sanem olgeta oli goaot blong talemaot gud nius ya long Isrel se: “Taem blong God i kam King blong olgeta man long wol, i kam klosap finis.” !Hemia wan mesej we i karem bigfala glad! Jisas Kraes, Mesaea King, i stap long medel blong olgeta. From we ol aposol oli givim ful laef blong olgeta i go long wok blong God, Jisas i wantem we oli mas trastem God se bambae hem i lukaot long olgeta. Taswe hem i talem se: “Taem yufala i go, bambae yufala i no tekem sam samting blong rod blong yufala. Bambae yufala i no tekem wokingstik, no basket, no kakae, no mane. Mo bambae yufala i no tekem tu klos. Nao taem yufala i go long wan ples, mo yufala i go stap long wan haos, yufala i mas stap long haos ya nomo gogo yufala i aot long ples ya.” (Matiu 10:5-10; Luk 9:1-6) Kastom blong ol man Isrel i blong mekem i gud long ol strenja. Ale Jeova i yusum kastom ya blong mekem se ol man blong hem oli kasem samting we oli nidim.
8. (a) ?Smoltaem bifo we Jisas i ded, from wanem hem i givim sam niufala advaes long saed blong wok blong prij? (b) ?Wanem samting we ol man blong Jisas oli mas gohed blong putum long fas ples long laef blong olgeta?
8 Be biaen, jes bifo we Jisas i ded, hem i soem long ol aposol blong hem se bambae laef blong ol man i jenis bigwan, mo from samting ya, bambae ol disaepol blong hem oli mas wok long fasin we i defren. From we ol haeman bambae oli stat agensem wok blong olgeta, bambae oli no moa save faenem plante man Isrel we oli welkamem gud olgeta. Mo i no longtaem bambae oli mas karem mesej blong Kingdom i go long ol Hiten man tu. Long taem ya bambae oli mas tekem “mane” mo “kakae” i go wetem olgeta. Be nating we laef i jenis, ol aposol ya oli mas gohed blong putum Kingdom Blong Jeova mo stret fasin blong hem long fas ples long laef blong olgeta. Oli mas gohed blong trastem God se bambae hem i blesem ol traehad we oli mekem blong kasem kakae mo klos we oli nidim.—Luk 22:35-37.
9. ?Olsem wanem Pol i putum Kingdom long fasples long laef blong hem mo long semtaem i lukaot long hem wan, mo wanem advaes we hem i givim long saed ya?
9 Aposol Pol i wan man we i folem gud advaes ya blong Jisas. Ful laef blong Pol i stanap long wok blong prij. (Ol Wok 20:24, 25) Taem hem i go long wan ples blong prij, hem i mekem sam wok, olsem wok blong somap haos tapolen, blong kasem ol samting we hem i nidim. Hem i no wet se ol narafala oli lukaot long hem. (Ol Wok 18:1-4; 1 Tesalonaeka 2:9) Be hem i glad tu long lav we ol narafala oli soemaot taem oli welkamem hem long haos blong olgeta mo taem oli givim smol samting long hem. (Ol Wok 16:15, 34; Filipae 4:15-17) Pol i no givim tingting ya long ol Kristin se i oraet nomo sipos oli lego ol wok blong olgeta insaed long famle blong go prij. Nogat. Hem i wantem we ol Kristin oli mekem gud evri wok we i stap long han blong olgeta, mo oli no bitim mak long wan wok. Hem i givim advaes se oli mas man blong wok, oli mas lavem famle blong olgeta, mo oli mas rere blong serem samting wetem ol narafala. (Efesas 4:28; 2 Tesalonaeka 3:7-12) Hem i pulum olgeta blong trastem God i bitim ol sas samting mo blong yusum laef blong olgeta long fasin we i soemaot se oli kasem save wanem nao i moa impoten. Folem tijing blong Jisas, oli mas lukaot Kingdom Blong God mo stret fasin blong hem fastaem.—Filipae 1:9-11.
Kingdom i Mas Stap Long Fasples Oltaem
10. ?Lukaot Kingdom fastaem i minim wanem?
10 ?Yu yu spenem hamas taem long wok blong serem gud nius blong Kingdom long ol narafala? Hemia i dipen lelebet long wanem we yumi naf blong mekem long laef blong yumi mo long fasin tangkiu we yumi gat long God. Tingbaot, Jisas i no talem se, ‘Lukaot Kingdom taem yufala i no gat narafala samting blong mekem.’ Hem i save se Kingdom i wan impoten samting, taswe hem i talemaot wanem we Papa blong hem i wantem, i se: “Yufala i mas gohed oltaem blong lukaot Kingdom blong hem.” (Luk 12:31, NW ) I tru, bighaf blong yumi i mas wok blong pem ol samting we yumi wanwan mo famle blong yumi i nidim. Be sipos yumi gat bilif, bambae yumi mekem we laef blong yumi i stanap fastaem long wok blong Kingdom we God i givim long yumi. Mo long semtaem, bambae yumi lukaot long ol nid blong famle blong yumi.—1 Timoti 5:8.
11. (a) ?Wanem pijatok blong Jisas we i soemaot se i no olgeta man evriwan we bambae oli save spenem plante taem long wok blong talemaot Kingdom? (b) ?Wanem sam samting we oli mekem se frut we yumi evriwan i karem long laef oli no sem mak?
11 Sam long yumi oli save spenem moa taem long wok blong talemaot gud nius blong Kingdom i bitim ol narafala. Be, taem Jisas i givim pijatok ya long saed blong ol sid we oli foldaon long ol defdefren kaen graon, hem i soemaot se ol man we hat blong olgeta i olsem gudfala graon, olgeta evriwan bambae oli karem frut long laef blong olgeta. ?Bambae oli karem hamas frut? Laef blong evriwan i defdefren. Taswe ol frut we bambae oli karem i dipen bigwan long ol samting olsem hamas yia we oli gat, helt blong olgeta mo ol wok blong olgeta insaed long famle. Be taem wan man i gat trufala fasin tangkiu long gud nius blong Kingdom, hem i save mekem bigfala wok.—Matiu 13:23.
12. ?Wanem gudfala mak long saed blong spirit we ol yangfala oli save traem blong kasem?
12 I gud blong putum ol mak we yumi save traehad blong kasem long wok blong Kingdom. Rod ya i save pusum yumi blong mekem moa. Ol yangfala oli mas tinghevi long nambawan eksampol blong yangfala Kristin ya Timoti we hem i gat strong tingting blong wok. (Filipae 2:19-22) ?I gat wan samting we i moagud i bitim we wan yangfala i joen long wok blong fultaem paenia afta we hem i finisim skul? Ol bigman tu oli save kasem plante blesing sipos oli putum ol mak long saed blong spirit.
13. (a) ?Hu i mas talem hamas taem we yumi wanwan i naf blong spenem long wok blong Kingdom? (b) ?Sipos yumi rili lukaot Kingdom fastaem, bambae yumi pruvum wanem?
13 I nogud blong tokbaot sam narafala we maet yumi ting se oli save mekem moa wok. I moagud we yumi letem bilif i pusum yumi blong kamgud moa long fasin blong yumi wan, mo mekem wok blong God fulwan olsem we yumi wan i naf blong mekem. (Rom 14:10-12; Galesia 6:4, 5) Olsem stori blong Job i soemaot, Setan i strong blong talem se yumi intres nomo long ol sas samting, mo blong gat isi laef, mo blong harem gud, mo se yumi stap mekem wok blong God blong kasem samting nomo. Be sipos yumi rili stap lukaot Kingdom fastaem, yumi stap pruvum we Devel Setan i wan bigfala man blong giaman. Yumi stap pruvum se samting we i stap fasples long laef blong yumi, hemia wok blong God.

14. (a) ?From wanem i gud blong gat wan program blong joen long wok blong prij? (b) ?Plante Witnes oli stap mekem wanem blong spenem moa taem long wok blong prij?
14 Wan gudfala program i save halpem yumi blong mekem plante samting we maet fastaem yumi ting se yumi no naf blong mekem. Jeova hem wan i gat ‘stret taem’ blong hem blong mekem ol stamba tingting blong hem oli kamtru. (Eksodas 9:5; Mak 1:15) Sipos yumi naf, i gud yumi makem sam taem evri wik, blong joen long wok blong prij. Plante taosen Witnes Blong Jeova raon long wol oli joen long wok blong haftaem paenia, hemia i min se oli spenem klosap tu aoa evri dei blong talemaot gud nius.

( Jon 4:7-15) Yumi mas wantem tumas blong joen fulwan long wok ya, from we Jisas i talem se: “Ol man bambae oli talemaot gud nius ya blong kingdom long olgeta ples long wol, blong givim witnes long olgeta man. Nao biaen, en i save kam.”—Matiu 24:14, NW ; Efesas 5:15-17.
