Nokwarem no, ɛyɛ wɔn asɛyɛde sɛ ‘wɔbɛyɛn Onyankopɔn asafo no’ na ‘wɔahwɛ nguankuw no nyinaa.’—Asomafo no Nnwuma 20:28.

Wɔbɔ Wo Ho Ban Wɔ Dɛn Ho?
Wɔ tete mmere no mu no, agyata ne nkekaboa foforo de nguankuw nkwa too asiane mu na na wɔkyere wɔn mmiako mmiako we. Ná ɛsɛ sɛ nguanhwɛfo bɔ wɔn ho ban. (1 Samuel 17:34, 35) Satan Ɔbonsam nso “nam sɛ gyata a ɔbobom hwehwɛ nea obenya no amene.” (1 Petro 5:8) Ɛnyɛ sɛ ɔde abufuw ko tia Yehowa asase so ahyehyɛde no nyinaa nko, na mmom Onyankopɔn somfo biara nso. Dɛn ne Satan botae? Ɔpɛ sɛ obu Yehowa nkurɔfo aba mu na wamma ‘wɔanni Onyankopɔn ahyɛde so’ ne “Kristo adanse” mpo.—Adiyisɛm 12:17.
Esiane sɛ na Yehowa nguan “adan wuram mmoa nyinaa aduan” nti, ɔbɔɔ nguanhwɛfo a na wodi tete Israelfo so no sobo sɛ wɔanhwɛ wɔn. (Hesekiel 34:8) Nanso, Kristofo mpanyimfo wɔ ɔpɛ a efi komam sɛ wɔbɛbɔ wɔn a wɔwɔ asafo no mu ho ban sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obiara renyera esiane sɛ wɔanhwɛ anaa Satan, wiase no, ne “mpataku,” a wɔyɛ awaefo, nkɛntɛn so nti. (Asomafo no Nnwuma 20:29, 30) Ɔkwan bɛn so na nguanhwɛfo no boa nguankuw no mufo nyinaa ma wɔn ani da hɔ na wɔwɛn? Ɔkwan biako ne sɛ wobefi Ahenni Asa so asɛnka agua so ama Kyerɛwnsɛm mu ɔkasa ahorow a wɔasiesie no yiye. Ɔkwan foforo ne sɛ wɔne wɔn bɛbɔ nkɔmmɔ a ɛyɛ anigye na ɛhyɛ nkuran ansa na wɔafi nhyiam no ase ne bere a wɔapɔn. Bio nso, ɔkwan foforo a etu mpɔn ne sɛ wɔbɛsra “nguan” no wɔ fie ankasa. (Fa toto Dwom 95:7 ho.) Nanso dɛn ne ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ? Ɔkwan bɛn so na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ nsrahwɛ a ɛte saa? Na henanom na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsra wɔn?
Dɛn ne Ahwɛfo Nsrahwɛ?
Ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ nyɛ nsrahwɛ biara kwa a wɔde bɔ nneɛma ho nkɔmmɔ. Ɔpanyin bi kae sɛ: “Adawurubɔfo dodow no ara ani gye kɛse sɛ mobɛkenkan kyerɛwsɛm bi anaa mobɛbɔ Bible mu nipa pɔtee bi ho nkɔmmɔ. Nokwarem no, ɛnyɛ ɔpanyin no nko na ɔkasa. Mpɛn pii no, Ahenni ɔdawurubɔfo a wɔakɔsra no no ani gye sɛ ɔbɛda adwene a okura wɔ Bible ho adi, na eyi a ɔyɛ no ma n’ankasa gyidi mu yɛ den. Ɔpanyin no betumi de Ɔwɛn-Aban anaa Nyan! nsɛmma nhoma akɔ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛbɔ asɛm bi a ɛma denhyɛ ho nkɔmmɔ. Ebia saa honhom fam nkɔmmɔbɔ yi na ɛma ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ da nsow wɔ nsrahwɛ foforo bi ho no.”
Ɔpanyin foforo bi a ne ho akokwaw kae sɛ: “Ansa na ɔpanyin no bɛkɔ akɔyɛ nsrahwɛ no, ɔde bere bi susuw ɔdawurubɔfo a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔsra no ho. Dɛn na ebetumi ahyɛ ɔdawurubɔfo no den? Komam nkamfo a wɔde ma yɛ ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ fã titiriw, efisɛ ɛhyɛ onipa no den ma ogyina ɔhaw ano.” Yiw, ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ nyɛ adamfofa kwan so nsra ara kwa a obiara a ɔwɔ asafo no mu no betumi ayɛ.
Dɛn Nti na Ɔhwɛfo Bi Bɛsra Wo?
Sɛ ɔpanyin bi kɔsra ofie bi a, na wayɛ ahoboa sɛ ɔbɛhyɛ mfɛfo gyidifo nkuran na waboa wɔn ma wɔagyina pintinn wɔ gyidi mu. (Romafo 1:11) Enti sɛ ɔpanyin biako anaa baanu pɛ sɛ wɔbɛsra wo a, dɛn na woyɛ wɔ ho? Ɔhwɛfo kwantufo bi kae sɛ: “Sɛ bere a biribi nkɔ yiye nkutoo na wɔyɛ ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ a, nea ebia onii no bedi kan ayɛ wɔ sra a wɔrebɛsra no ho ne sɛ, obebisa sɛ, ‘Adɛn, mayɛ bɔne bi?’” Ɛsɛ sɛ honhom fam nguanhwɛfo a wɔwɔ ɔdɔ suasua Yehowa a ɔhwɛɛ odwontofo no, na bere nyinaa ‘odwudwoo ne kra,’ titiriw wɔ ahokyere mu bere a ohia biribi titiriw no.—Dwom 23:1-4.
Ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ atirimpɔw ne sɛ ‘ɛbɛma nkɔso na ɛnyɛ sɛ ɛbɛsɛe ade.’ (2 Korintofo 13:10) Nokwarem no, ade a ɛhyɛ nkuran ne nsɛm a wɔka de kyerɛ anisɔ a wɔwɔ wɔ nea wɔakɔsra no no boasetɔ, ne nsiyɛ, ne n’adwuma a ɔde nokwaredi ayɛ ho no. Ɔpanyin bi kae sɛ: “Sɛ wɔreyɛ ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ a, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔma nea wɔakɔsra no no te nka sɛ atirimpɔw nti a wɔaba hɔ ne sɛ wobehu ne haw ahorow na wɔasusuw ho. Nokwarem no, ebetumi aba sɛ ɔdawurubɔfo no ankasa bɛpɛ sɛ ɔka ɔhaw pɔtee bi ho asɛm. Na sɛ oguan bi tɔ apakye anaa ɔretew ne ho afi nguankuw a aka no ho a, ehia sɛ ɔpanyin no yɛ biribi de boa.”
Akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ, Kristofo ahwɛfo bɛma wɔn ani aku wɔn a wɔte sɛ nkurɔfo a wɔka wɔn ho asɛm wɔ saa nsɛm yi mu no ho yiye: “Nea wayera no, mɛhwehwɛ no, na nea wɔapam no no, mɛkɔ makɔfa no aba, na nea wabubu no, mɛkyekyere no, na nea ɔyare no, mɛhyɛ no den.” (Hesekiel 34:16) Yiw, ebia ehia sɛ wɔhwehwɛ nguan, de wɔn ba, kyekyere wɔn, anaa wɔhyɛ wɔn den. Israel nguanhwɛfo buu wɔn ani guu saa asɛyɛde ahorow yi so. Adwuma a ɛte saa a oguanhwɛfo bɛyɛ no hwehwɛ sɛ ɔbɛn oguan bi na odi n’ahiade ahorow ho dwuma. Ɛsɛ sɛ eyi yɛ ade titiriw a ɛma ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ biara da nsow nnɛ.
Nguan a Wɔwɔ Ahoɔden Hia Ɔhwɛ
So ɛsɛ sɛ yɛka sɛ enhia sɛ nnɛyi honhom fam nguanhwɛfo ma wɔn ani ku nguan a wɔwɔ ahoɔden ho wɔ ɔkwan titiriw bi so? Wiɛ, sɛ oguan ankasa kɔ ɔhaw mu a, ɛyɛ mmerɛw sɛ wɔbɛboa no bere a ɔwɔ oguanhwɛfo no mu awerɛhyem no. Nhoma bi ka sɛ “nguan mmɛn nnipa fi awosu mu, na ɛnyɛ mmerɛw bere nyinaa sɛ nnipa bɛma wɔanya wɔn mu ahotoso.” Nhoma koro ara de akwankyerɛ titiriw a obi bɛfa so ama nguan anya ne mu awerɛhyem yi kaa nneɛma a ɛkaa ho asɛm no ho sɛ: “Kasa kyerɛ mmoa no daa. Wobehu wo nne, na ɛbɛma wɔanya ahotoso. Kɔsra nguan no daa wɔ wɔn adidibea.”—Alles für das Schaf. Handbuch (Biribiara ma Nguan. Nhoma a Ɛfa Sɛnea Wɔbɛhwɛ Wɔn Yiye Ho.)
Enti sɛ abusuabɔ a ahotoso wom bɛtra oguanhwɛfo no ne oguan no ntam a, na nkitaho a ɔne no bedi ho hia. Saa ara na ɛte wɔ Kristofo asafo no mu. Ɔpanyin bi kae sɛ: “Hu a wobehu wo wɔ asafo no mu sɛ ɔpanyin a ɔtaa sra nguan no ma ɛyɛ mmerɛw kɛse sɛ wobɛkɔ obi a ɔwɔ ɔhaw nkyɛn.” Enti, ɛnsɛ sɛ honhom fam nguanhwɛfo bɔ mmɔden sɛ wɔbɛma nguan no aduan na wɔahwɛ wɔn wɔ Ahenni Asa so nkutoo. Sɛnea tebea no ma kwan biara no, ɛsɛ sɛ mpanyimfo hu nguan no denam ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ a wɔbɛkɔ wɔn afie akɔyɛ so. Kristoni bi ka sɛ bere a wɔpaw no ɔpanyin foforo no, ɔhwɛfo guamtrani no ka kyerɛɛ no wɔ telefon so sɛ ɔnkɔsra onua bi a ne babea wui nnansa yi ara wɔ kar akwanhyia bi a ɛyɛ hu mu nkɔkyekye ne werɛ. Ɔpanyin no gye tom sɛ: “Hwɛ sɛnea mehawee efisɛ na menkɔɔ onua no nkyɛn da, na na minnim baabi a ɔte mpo! Minyaa ahomeka bere a ɔpanyin bi a ne ho akokwaw kae sɛ ɔne me bɛkɔ no.” Yiw, mpanyimfo boa wɔn ho wɔn ho wɔ ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ mu.
Sɛ ɔpanyin bi reyɛ ahoboa akɔyɛ mpanyimfo nsrahwɛ a, obetumi ama asafo mu somfo a ɔrepere adu ɔhwɛfo “adwuma pa” ho no aka ne ho. (1 Timoteo 3:1-13) Hwɛ sɛnea asafo mu somfo bi ani begye kɛse sɛ obehu sɛnea ɔpanyin bi som nguan no wɔ ahwɛfo nsrahwɛ mu! Ɛno ma mpanyimfo ne asafo mu asomfo bɛn asafo no mufo nyinaa, na wɔhyɛ Kristofo dɔ ne biakoyɛ hama no mu den.—Kolosefo 3:14.
