I de put Jehovah for my front everytime. Because e dey my right hand side, nothing go ever shake me.—Ps. 16:8.
To make our fear for Jehovah strong more-more, we need to think about wetin go make-am happy anytime wey we de make decision. When you de read any story for Bible, ask yourself say, ‘If na me, wetin I for do?’ For example, imagine say you dey there when the ten men de talk say Israel people no go fit win Canaan people after them go spy the land wey Jehovah promise them. You for believe wetin them talk and begin fear Canaan people, or because you want make Jehovah happy, your love for-am for strong pass your fear for Canaan people? One full generation of Israel people no believe say wetin Joshua and Caleb de talk na true. This one make Jehovah no allow them enter the Promise Land.—Num. 14:10, 22, 23. w24.07 10 ¶7

Na Jehovah de check wetin dey person mind.—Prov. 17:3.
Gomer leave im husband, Hosea, go meet other men. Gomer go fit repent? Jehovah, wey fit see wetin dey person heart tell Hosea say: “Go back again, go love your wife wey another man love and wey de sleep with the man. Love-am just as Jehovah love Israel people even though say them don de worship other gods.” (Hos. 3:1; Prov. 16:2) Notice say Hosea wife still de commit serious sin. Even with this one, Jehovah tell Hosea make e forgive-am and take-am back as im wife. Jehovah want use this example teach im people how e feel about them. Even though say them still de do bad things, Jehovah still love them and e continue to send im prophets to help them repent and change from their bad ways. This example show say Jehovah, the God wey de “check wetin dey person mind” go try to help person wey still de commit serious sin to fit repent. w24.08 10 ¶7

The Law na just the shadow of the good things wey de come.—Heb. 10:1.
Jew people wey become Christians for apostle time get plenty things wey them need to change, and this one no easy. For some time, na Jew people be Jehovah special people. For many years, Jerusalem na important place to Jehovah, because the king wey de rule for Jehovah de rule from there. And anybody wey want worship Jehovah, need to go the temple wey dey Jerusalem to worship-am from there. That time, any Jew person wey want worship God well, need to follow the Law of Moses, and the things wey their leaders teach them for temple. For example, Law dey about the kind food wey them suppose chop, about circumcision, and how them suppose treat other people wey no be Jew. But after Jesus die, Jehovah stop to accept animal sacrifice. So, e no come easy for Jew people wey become Christians to change the way them de worship God. (Heb. 10:1, 4, 10) Even some mature Christian like apostle Peter struggle to adjust for some things. (Acts 10:9-14; Gal. 2:11-14) The leaders for Jew people religion start to suffer Jew people wey be Christians, because of their new belief. w24.09 9 ¶4
