Ɔnya ekwita Baabolo no pɛ, na ɔnya mma baawa a bɛyɛ mmiensa, sɛ bɛyɛ 4 a ɛbɛyɛ advert ama no a, ɔse: "Mate asɔre!"
Enti sɛ wohwɛ a, asɔre tititi no, yɛkura wɔm Ghana deɛ—me nuanom, ɛbua m'ɛtain,

Asɔre bi wɔ hɔ koraa no a obi si yei, na esi hɔ bɛbi na wɔnom de akwatekwane bi.
Na nsɛm a me me bisa yi, ɛmma ne nya wo adwene mu kensrene, nemmom no me pɛ sɛ wobi wo adwene na yɛ sua adeɛ.
The question is sɛ: Obiara tumi fa Baabolo, ɔse mate asɔre, na nipa edi ne kyire, anaa sɛ sɛn kra na Twerɛ Kronkron no ɛka?
Me nuanom, me a me frɛ me ho sɛ ɔkristoni, ɛyɛ adeɛ a ɛreko soɔ wɔ yɛn no, ɛyɛ adeɛ a ɛha me.
Ne titire, ɛne nsɔre anipa ɛtente no ɛda biara adeɛ bɛkye biara no.
Na yɛre tete, ɛnyɛ nsɔre tete ɛkwa. Nsɔre no a yɛre tete ne nyinaa, wo te mu hu sɛ:
"Ɛnsuro asɔre wei, ɛne nsuro wei. Wei nkyerɛkyerɛ, ɛne nsuro wei nkyerɛkyerɛ.
Ɛnsuro wei gyedie, ɛne nsuro wei gyedie. Ɛnsuro wei ne sɛnea wɔsom, ɛne nsuro wei nso ne sɛnea wɔsom."
Na ɛno ɛna ɛmma enti yɛbisa saa nsɛm yi.
Me nuanom, the reason is that the salvation of man is more or less depend on the church of the Bible.
Deɛ enti ɛmma me bisa saa nsɛm yi ne sɛ, nipa yɛn nkwagyeɛ gyina ɛyɛ asafo no so.
Kasa a yɛfrɛ no sɛ... ɛyɛ a na yɛn ne yɛn mmafoɔ refrɛ no sɛ asɔreasɔre no, asɔre no ara kasaffo no ɛnyɛ nipa kuo no a akɔhyia ne din, saa na yɛfrɛ. Yɛfrɛ no asafo.
Wokan Twi Bible no a, Twi Twerɛ Kronkron no a, ɔbɔ din asafo, na asafo no hyiae. Ɔnkasa sɛ na asɔre no hyiae.
Na yɛn na, asafo no hyia dwumadie a ɔmokɔdie no na yɛfrɛ no sɛ asɔre. Wɔnom kɔ no, wɔmakɔ asɔre.
Na nipa a yɛfrɛ wɔn sɛ Kristofoɔ no, yɛn nkwagyeɛ gyina ɛyɛ asafo no so.
Ɛno nti sɛ Kweku Mensah fa Baabolo hyɛ ne mɔtɔ mu sɛ mate asɔre, na sɛ wasoa nipa ma ɛbɔ saa asɔre no mu a,
the question is: Nipa no a Kweku Mensah se wate asɔre no a wodi ne anim no, wɔnom nkwagyeɛ gyina Kweku Mensah asɔre no so anaa sɛ sɛn?
Wenti nipa bebree se: "Asɔre deɛ, ɛnyɛ asɔre na ɛgye nko o, asɔre nyɛ nkwa." Wote bi da, me nso mete bi da.
Nanso wokɔ Twerɛ Kronkron no mu a, yɛnte nsɛm bi a Asomafoɔ Nnwuma ti 2 twetwe mu 47 no ɛka yɛ. Me kan no borɔfo na ma kyerɛ aseɛ Twi no. Ɔse:
"And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."
Twi ne sɛ: "Na Awurade de wɔn a ɔgye wɔn nkwa no ka asafo no ho daa."
Ɔse: "Na Awurade de wɔn a ɔgye wɔn nkwa no ka asafo no ho." Wokyere sɛ asafo no, enipa a ɛwɔ mu no, ɛyɛ nipa a Awurade agye wɔn.
Ɛhɔ ɛne beae a wode wɔn me yɛ dɛn? Ɛsi e.
Nti wote mu hu sɛ, yɛn nkwagyeɛ gyina, sɛ wunni saa asafo no mu a, wo nkwagyeɛ hyɛ kika kakra.
Efiri sɛ ɔka sɛ Awurade de wɔn a ɔgye wɔn nkwa ka asafo no ho a, ne kyerɛ sɛ asafo no mu ɛna nkwagyeɛ no gyina, wode wo aka ho.
Ɛno nti aha no, nipa yɛn nkwagyeɛ gyina asafo no so.
Titi da bi a na yɛka sɛ: "Oh, asafo deɛ ɛnyɛ nkwa na asɔre ɛnyɛ nkwa no."
Me ebia nea ɛreko soɔ ɛnɛ, obiara ma ne bɔtɔ so a ɔse mate asɔre no nti, eni ebia ɛmma wo ka no saa. Efa bɛbi no me ne wo bɛ yɛ adwene,
nanso wohwɛ Twerɛ Kronkron no mu a, sɛ Awurade de wɔn a ɔgye wɔn nkwa ka asafo no ho de a, ɛneɛ na asafo no ne nipa nkwagyeɛ wɔ twaka, if you understand my point.
Asomafoɔ Nnwuma ti 2 twetwe mu 47 ɛna me ne wo ake kɛ no.
Nti nea me pɛ sɛ me kyerɛ ne sɛ, nipa a yɛfrɛ wɔn sɛ Kristofoɔ no, yɛn nkwagyeɛ ne asafo no wɔ twaka.
Okay.
Enti me srɛ wo a, sɛ bɔ mmoden sɛ wobɛte saa nsɛm yi akɔsi ewie. Titi da bi na obi te nsɛm no na ebia wate biribi na ɛkyire na adwene kensrene a,
ɔse: "Oh, me deɛ gyae ma me nyene me ho." Hahaha, woyɛ saa a, wuhu nokware da.
Bɔ mmoden te ewie. Bi koraa na na yɛkyɛ wo adwene no, ne ebia kasa no kɔ ɛkyire no na yɛyi ano ama wo.
Ne no ne bɛtumi aboa wo ama wate Twerɛ Kronkron no ase. Me nuanom,
Denominations of churches of different faith started from the 4th century after the Lord's church have been set up in Jerusalem and has been enjoying monopoly for 300 years and over.
Sɛ ma me ka no borɔfo tenten ti aseɛ ne sɛ: Ɔse nsɔre a ɛnsuro wei gyedie ne wei gyedie, wei gyedie ne wei gyedie,
ne sɛnea ɛnɛ yɛhu no, ɛhyɛɛ aseɛ efiri mfie aha nan a edi Kristo Yesu wuo no ɛkyi.
Kyerɛ sɛ efiri berɛ a Kristo Yesu ɛka sɛ mɛte me asɔre na ɔhyɛɛ aseɛ wɔ Jerusalem, ɛbɛpɛ mfie aha mmiensa ɛkyi kɔ aha nan no,
na asɔre sɛ mate me ho, mate me deɛ, mayɛ sei, mayɛ sei, na ɛnsuro nkyerɛkyerɛ ɛnsuro nkyerɛkyerɛ na enni hɔ.
Mfie bɛyɛ sɛ aha nan yɛdi kan no, now we don't have these denominational churches. Nneɛma a ɛwɔ hɔ no.
Nso wohwɛ mu a,
efiri mfie bɛyɛ sɛ aha nan obroni se 4th century wɔ Kristo Yesu na wuo ɛkyi ɛna nsɔre teteateteɛ ne mate me deɛ, ɛnsuro me gyedie ne ɛnsuro wo gyedie efii aseɛ.
Me nuanom,
ɛnyɛ asɔre sɛ ɛba no ɛna ɛha adwene.
Nemmom, sɛ ba sɛ wei se me deɛ nkwa, wei se me deɛ nkwa, wei se me deɛ nkwa a, ɛhɔ ɛna nsɛm no gyina.
Na ɛnɛ, ɛno na ɛreko so. Na ɛno nti na yɛbisa nsɛm sɛ: So Nyankopɔn ma ne ho enipa kwan sɛ wotumi te asɔre? Wo wɔ hɔ na wofa Baabolo wose mate asɔre, ɔmma nipa kwan sɛ nipa nyɛ saa anaa?
Na ɔka biribi sɛ, me toa so ɔse:
"The rapid increase of these man-made churches, especially in the last 40 years, is mostly seen in Africa and other third world countries."
Sɛ wohwɛ a, nsɔre a ɛtetetete ntɛmntɛmpaa no,
efiri mfie bɛyɛ sɛ 40 a ɛtwa mu yi, efiri bɛyɛ sɛ 1980s no mu ɛba no, ɛna nsɔre atetetete na afeii deɛ, hey, yɛkura wɔm Ghana, adɔso a m'atɔkro biara bɛfrɛ mu no.
Ɛnɛ makɔ legon dwo mu koraa no, obi pɛ ne to si no, wobɛ hwɛ na asɔre bi kwo ne nkyɛn hɔ. Woate aseɛ?
Mfie bɛyɛ sɛ 40 a aba yi mu no, ɛna yɛhu sɛ adɔso paa ɛwɔ Africa.
Na adɛn nti? The question is adɛn nti? "This is because the people in this region are highly religious."
Deɛ nti ɔkae no, abibifoɔ ɛpɛ Nyamesom papaapa.
"And because they are highly religious, Satan has seized the opportunity or the advantage of their zeal for God and establishing churches through men to achieve his purpose."
Te nsɛm a woka e!
Me se, esiane sɛ abibifoɔ yɛ pɛ Nyamesom bebree no nti no, ɔbonsam nso afa saa nyansa kwɛn bi so.
Ɛno ɔhwɛ sɛnea wokeka wɔn Nyamesom ntiɛ, ɛno ɔno no ɛnam nsɔre tetetete so, enti a me kasa no wobɛte aseɛ, wan hwɛ a obo koraa bɛfu me sɛ nsɛm a me keka no,
but Nyaboterɛ paa, na wobɛhu sɛ: "Heh, wo nkwagyeɛ ho hia me!" Me nim sɛ me nso me nkwagyeɛ ho hia wo. Enti ma yɛnka etire mu pam ho,
na nneɛma bi wɔ hɔ a me bɛyi ne die amuo no, ɔbonsam ne tactics a ɔyɛ so nam nsɔre nsɔre a ɛnɛ tete bebree no so.
Wohu sɛ tɔ da bi a, nkurɔfoɔ koraa ka sɛ nsɔre koraa na ama ahokyere koraa bɛwia ase. Do you know why?
Ɛkwan a ɔsefoɔ no pɛ sɛ nipa hu sɛ Kristosom ɛyɛ tan, na nkwagyeɛ nni mu. Ɛne nea ɔnam nipa so yɛ ne nɛ sɛ, a te asɔre, a te asɔre, a te asɔre.
Wobɛhwɛ wobɛfra brɔseɛ bi, asɔre mmienu wɔ soro, mmienu wɔ fɔm hɔ, underground hɔ so so no, nipa bi so sɛ: "Hey, yɛhyɛ asɔre."
So saa nkurɔfoɔ yi nyinaa no, they are not communicating.
Obi nka nkyerɛ obi, nea obiara pɛ na ɔyɛ. Saa na Nyankopɔn hwɛ sɛ Kristosom no te anaa?
Ɛno na ne question nti yɛbisa sɛ, Nyame ɔma wo kwan sɛ obiara nea wopɛ biara wotumi yɛ?
Me nuanom, twerɛ no da hɔ no, nsɛm wɔ mu, enti yɛguso ara yɛrehwɛhwɛ saa nsɛm mu.
Deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu nso so a: "Ama mfie bɛyɛ sɛ 40 a ɛtwa mu yi, enipa bebree, nsɔre bebree ɛtete ne sɛn?"
"Many people in this continent, I mean Africa, are very poor and helpless, and some so-called men of God have taken advantage of their vulnerability and are exploiting them using churches and in the name of God." Hwɛ!
Nsɔre a ɛtete bebree no so no, enipa bi a hu sɛ Africafɔ, abibifoɔ, yɛkura wɔm Ghanafoɔ ne ayifoɔ no, oh, ɛhia wɔn bebree.
Ɛne bebree so ho kyere wɔn mo. Na obiara so ho kyere no a, ɔbɛsɛ ɔkɔ Nyankopɔn fie kɔpɛ mmoa.
Ɛno nti kwata ɔte ya ɔse: "Oh, makɔte asɔre, oh bra in the name of God, wo deɛ to collection kakra ma me."
Me nuanom, collection, collection, collection a ɛkɔso nti,
ɛne kɔmen no te hɔ, na ɔhu sɛ ne ho kyere no, wannyɛ adwuma biara annya, the easiest way ne sɛ mɛkɔ akɔte asɔre.
Me nuanom,
wunim sɛnea Twerɛ Kronkron no nipa nkwagyeɛ gyina ɛyɛ asafo no so far,
na wo kɔm wosue de wo nti no, wode nipa kra edi agorɔ sɛ: "Wo, wakɔte asɔre."
Tumi bɛn ɛna wo onipa wo wɔ sɛ wose mate asɔre? Ɛno ɛne nneɛma a yɛrehwɛ.
Me se, me nua, sɛ wan hwɛ a wobɛka sɛ: "Ɔniapɔ, na adesua a yɛre sua yi deɛ, dɛn nsɛm na wopɛ sɛ wokyerɛ?"
But nyaboterɛ, wei yɛ introduction kwa, borɔni se ebibiariɛ no, just an introduction.
Yɛbɛkɔ mu deeper, yɛbɛdɔ su kɔ, na wahu sɛ nneɛma a ɛreko soɔ no a nipa ɛde nsɔre a yɛ businesses no, ɛwɔ mu anaa?
Nso wohu sɛ twerɛ no se Awurade de wɔn a ɔgye wɔn nkwa no ka asafo no ho a, na wose wahu sɛ asafo ne nipa nkwagyeɛ wɔ twaka.
And so, why is Brother Paul so concerned? Adɛn nti na me nua Paul nsɔre ateti bebree bebree bra, adɛn nti na wɔse ɛha wo?
Me nua, obi a ɔnim Twerɛ Kronkron no, na ɔkan Apam Foforɔ no yie te aseɛ no,
ɛwɔ sɛ nea ɛreko so sɛ mate asɔre, mate asɔre, mate asɔre no, ɛwɔ sɛ ɛha no.
Maybe you don't know, ɛwɔ sɛ ɛha no. Me deɛ, ɛyɛ adeɛ a ɛha me.
Akyerɛ sɛ sɛ nipa nkwagyeɛ gyina asafo so a, na obiara ma ne bɔtɔ so a ɔse: "Mate asɔre a,"
ɛwɔ sɛ ɛha adwene. Efiri sɛ nea wokyerɛ ne sɛ wo, wo wɔ nkwa a wode rema nipa no, enti nipa mbra wo asɔre hɔ nom na ɛhɔ ɛna nkwagyeɛ no gyina.
That is what it means! Na yɛbɛ hwɛ sɛ ɛyɛ nokware,
anaa sɛ kwan a ɛreko so nɛ no, ɛyɛ ɔsefoɔ no kwan a wafa so, ɛpɛ sɛ obribri nipa ani so.
Me nuanom,
deɛ enti a ɛmma saa deɛ yi ha me bebree ne sɛ, sɛ wohwɛ mpaeɛ a Kristo Yesu ɔbɔe,
considering the prayer request by our Lord Jesus Christ to His Father. Yohane ɛnsɛmpa ntiɛ 17 kyekyɛmu 20 kɔpim 21 no a.
Berɛ a Yesu Kristo aka kakra bi ama ne wuo abɛn so no, ɔkɔɔ kɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ bi.
Na twerɛ no se ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ anadwo mu no nyinaa, ema mfifire ɛteɛ no.
Na ne mpaeɛ no mu no, nea na ɔresrɛ ne:
Ɔdi kan srɛ ma ne ho, right?
Ɔwieɛ na ɔsrɛ ma asomafoɔ no a 12 no a ɔbɛsuma wɔn akɔ wiase.
Na ɔbɔɔ mpaeɛ ma asomafoɔ no wieɛ no, ɛna ɔtoa so no ɔse:
"I do not ask for these only..." Ɛnyɛ asomafoɔ yi nko ɛna me srɛ deɛ ama wɔn Agya Kronkron,
"...but also for those who will believe in Me through their word." Nemmom wɔn nso a wɔm bɛgye me die nam asomafoɔ no nsɛm no so.
Wɔsuma asomafoɔ no sɛ mo kɔ wiase kɔka nsɛmpa.
Na ɔse: "Awurade, asomafoɔ no koraa, enipa a ɛbɛgye me edi nam asomafoɔ no nsɛm a wɔmode kɔ no so no,"
what happened? Ɔse: "...that they all may be one."
Enipa a ɛnam asomafoɔ no nsɛm so bɛgye edi ahene foɔ, ɛyɛ me ne wo. Yɛn a asomafoɔ no aka nsɛm atwerɛ ato hɔ ama yɛn,
ya kan kan ya gye edi, na yɛse yɛba bɛsom Nyankopɔn. Anaa ɛnyɛ nokware? Ɛyɛ nokware.
Ɛyɛ me ne wo.
Na ɔse, Yesu bɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ wɔn a ɛnam asomafoɔ nsɛm so bɛgye me edi no, Awurade, sɛdeɛ bɛyɛ na wɔn nyinaa da ɛbɛyɛ baako.
"Just as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You," sɛdeɛ Agya, wo wɔ me mu na me nso me wɔ wo mu no,
"that they also may be one, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me."
Sɛdeɛ bɛyɛ a wɔn so bɛyɛ baako. Ne kyerɛ sɛ aha, Kristo Yesu ne mpaeɛ nyinaa sɛ Kristofoɔ nyinaa da,
sɛ wubɔ wo din sɛ woyɛ Kristoni a, mpaeɛ no ne sɛ Awurade se mo nyinaa mo nnyɛ baako.
Now, for the world to believe that Jesus Christ was sent by God, His followers must be one.
Sɛdeɛ bɛyɛ na wiase bɛgye edi sɛ Awurade Yesu no Nyankopɔn na ɔsuma no ma no baeɛ no, ɔse wɔn a ɛdi ne akyi nyinaa nnyɛ one.
But to be one means you must speak with one mind.
Kristofoɔ nyinaa so wɔse yɛnnyɛ krɔ, kyerɛ sɛ yɛn nyinaa ma yɛnka asɛm krɔ.
We must teach the same thing, yɛnkyerɛkyerɛ adeɛ krɔ.
We must have the same faith, yɛn gyedie no ɛyɛ baako.
We must worship the same way, ɛsom a yɛsom no so so ɛnsu-nsurie nim.
And we must have a common bond between one another, na afei nso wobɛhu sɛ abusua yɛ bi ɛda yɛn tem.
Kristo Yesu se ne akyidifoɔ nyinaa no, ɛwɔ sɛ saa na ɔmo yɛ, sɛdeɛ bɛyɛ a wiase no bɛhu sɛ ampara, wo Agya no wɔ me mu na me nso me wɔ wo mu.
Me nua, nsɔrensɔre, nsɔrensɔre a wate asɔre A, asɔre B, asɔre C no, ɛno na ɛnɛ wohu no anaa?
Sɛdeɛ Twerɛ Kronkron no ka no sɛ wɔm nnyɛ krɔ, ɛno na wohu?
Enti, ebia m'asɛm no bɛkɔ ewie no na wobɛte nea wo nua Paul ɛka no ase.
Nea ɛreko so no, ɛyɛ hu!
Asɛ kyerɛ ne sɛ, sɛ Awurade Yesu ka sɛ mo a mo bɛgye me edi nyinaa no, ɛnyɛ adwen krɔ, ɛnka asɛm krɔ,

Ɛno no, kwan a ɔbonsam pɛ sɛ ɔseɛ wo ne me, na yɛnnya nkwa no, ɛna wode saa deɛ no ashyɛ yɛn tirim.
Ɛnyɛ nokware da!
Kristo Yesu amfa mpapamu amba wiase. Nea ɛreko so no,

Ɛnsuro nea obiara yɛ.
Nanso wɔn nyinaa se yɛbɔ Awurade Yesu Kristo din. Na yɛmbisa yɛn ho sɛ, Asomafoɔ no berɛ so,

Na sɛ w'answer ne sɛ "Daabi" a, ɛneɛ na kyerɛ sɛ wahu sɛ something is wrong, something is wrong.

Na sɛ ɛnyɛ ɛno na wohu, na sɛ yɛn a yɛfrɛ yɛn ho sɛ Kristofoɔ yɛnka asɛm krɔ deɛ a,

Akyerɛ ne sɛ, ɔno so wate n'asɔre!
Na saa nsɛm nti na yɛrebisa: Sɛ saa na Awurade ama kwan sɛ obiara nyɛ nea ɔpɛ?
Na sɛ wote asɛm a Baabolo ka sɛ Nyankopɔn ɔnyɛ sakasaka Nyankopɔn, borɔfo ne se "God is not the author of confusion,"
na nso wote aseɛ sɛ nea nipa ma yɛhu yi a yɛfrɛ no nsɔrensɔre, ɛnyɛ sure sɛ Nyankopɔn na ama kwan saa.
Na ɛnyɛ me na me nyɛ sure, ɛde Twerɛ Kronkron bɛkɔ mu ama wo ahu sɛ ɛnte saa o, na ɛnyɛ saa na ɛteɛ nso.
Now, if you study the New Testament closely, especially the Acts of the Apostles, you will notice that
there was only one ecclesia or a body of people who spoke the same thing, they taught the same thing, worshiped the same way, and also they shared the same faith.
Me nua, ɛnyɛ sɛ me... ɛnyɛ borɔfo na yɛreka waha, Twi na yɛreka. Nneɛma bi wɔ hɔ nom a, na ɔse wode borɔfo kakra fɛmu na ne ni bue.
Ɔse: Sɛ yɛka Apam Foforɔ no titire fa Asomafoɔ Nnwuma ne mu a, yɛbɛhu nyie sɛ
yɛwɔ ɛyɛ nipakuo baako pɛ a saa nipakuo no a Baabolo no ka wɔn ho asɛm no, na wɔnom ka asɛm krɔ.
Na wɔnom kyerɛkyerɛ nkyerɛkyerɛ krɔ, wɔnom som no na ɛyɛ krɔ, ɛna afei wɔn gyedie yɛ krɔ.
Saa nipakuo no, ebi wɔ ha, ebi wɔ Berekum, ebi wɔ Tamale, but sɛ wokɔ Berekum a, asɛm a wɔnom ka no,
ɛno ara na wokɔ Tamale a Tamale so ka. Ɛno ara na sɛ wokɔ Wa so a wɔka.
Enti saa nipakuo no a Asomafoɔ no berɛ so na wɔnom wɔ hɔ no,

nanso na wɔn nyinaa da som ɛne wɔn gyedie ɛyɛ baako. Ɛno na yɛfrɛ no sɛ asafo.
Now the question is, asɛm a me me bisa, ɛno yɛ adeɛ a ehia, very critical!
Na ɛyɛ adeɛ so so a, woyɛ Kristoni biara, wei deɛ ɛnyɛ abufuo nsɛm biara o, yɛn nyinaa yɛresua adeɛ.
Ɔse wote aseɛ sɛ, saa na ɛnɛ nsɔre na ɛreko so?
Anaa sɛ Nyankopɔn se ode obiara pɛ wotumi yɛ, to asɔre a wose mate asɔre na nkyerɛkyerɛ bi a wopɛ na wode nam mu na, saa na Awurade ayɛ no anaa?
Sɛ ɛnte saa deɛ a, ɛneɛ na hu nea me kɛn, hu nea me siɛ yi,
sɛ ehia sɛ me ne wo me yɛ no, yɛyɛ mfifiemu wɔ saa deɛ no ho.
Me nuanom, wote asɛm a Paul ɛkaeɛ berɛ a ɔtwerɛ krataa akɔma ɛyɛ asafo a anaa sɛ the body a na ɛwɔ Corinth a na yɛfrɛ no sɛ Nyankopɔn asafo a na ɛwɔ Corinth no a,
1 Corinthians ti baako kyekyɛmu 10, te asɛm a Asomafoɔ Paul kae. Ɔse:
"I appeal to you, brothers..." Enuanom me srɛ mo. Borɔni ka sɛ "I appeal to you," enuanom me srɛ mo,
"...by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ..." Me srɛ mo wɔ yɛn Awurade Yesu Kristo din mu. Sɛ mo nyɛ dɛn?
"...that all of you agree, and that there may be no division among you,
and that you may be united in the same mind and in the same judgment."
Me nua, wote saa nsɛm yi ase?
Ɔkakyerɛ Kristofoɔ sɛ: "Me srɛ mo Awurade Yesu Kristo din mu, sɛ mo nyinaa mo nnyɛ anukrɔ na mpapamu amma mo mu,

Me nuanom, Kristosom saa na wohu no anaa?
Saa na wohu no anaa, yɛn nokwarefoɔ?
Na saa nsɛm a me kɛn yi a no wɔ wo tirim, is that how you see Christianity?
Sɛ yɛyɛ yɛfrɛ yɛn ho sɛ Kristofoɔ no, yɛyɛ anukrɔ, yɛka asɛm krɔ, yɛ gyedie yɛ baako.
Sɛ ɛnte saa deɛ a, na hu nea me kɛn no te aseɛ sɛ, ɛneɛ na biribi na ɛreko so na ɛnyɛ efiri Nyankopɔn.
And that is why a yɛbisa sɛ: So Awurade ɔma obiara kwan sɛ otumi te asɔre na ɔyɛ biribiara a ɔpɛ anaa?
Me nuanom,
sɛ wokan Apam Foforɔ no a, wubetumi ahu nyie sɛ
sɛnea Bible nkyerɛ ɛma yɛte aseɛ Kristo Yesu no a na yɛnim no dada wɔ Bible no mu no,

Saa na ɛwɔ sɛ asafo no a Bible no yɛkankan wɔ Corinth asafo no mu na na ɔse wɔn nyinaa biribiara yɛ baako, baako, baako, baako na wɔn honhom ne sunsum wɔ wɔn mu no,

Saa nka ɛwɔ sɛ asafo no ɛyɛ ɛnɛ.
Nanso ɛnɛ, wobɛkɔ school dan mu, school dan baako, nsɔre a ɛwɔ mu no, ɛyɛ nsia anaa sɛ nsron, ɛnsuro nea obiara ɛka.
Na wose wei fri Nyankopɔn, wose wei fri Nyankopɔn.
Ebia saa na wo adwene bɛyɛ o, but yɛkɔ twerɛ no mu a, wobɛhu nyie sɛ,
ɔbonsam wɔ strategy bi a ɔde di dwuma na ɔde dan nipa fri Nyankopɔn kwan so, wɔ berɛ a nipa no na adwene ɛmma ne ho so.
Na asɛm a Asomafoɔ Paul ɛkaeɛ ni, ɔse:
Mo nhwɛ yie, esiane sɛ ɔbonsam otumi dan ne ho sɛ han bɔfoɔ no.
Woate aseɛ? Enti sɛ ne akyidifoɔ so so dan wɔn ho sɛ han bɔfoɔ a, ɔse: Ɛnyɛ adeɛ biara ɛnwanwa,
and that is... ɛyɛ a na ne suro ɛwɔ mo no. Ɔse mɔnsam tumi dan ne ho sɛ han bɔfoɔ no, ɛtɔ da bi na wohu nkurɔfoɔ a y'adrodro mɔnsam a ya na ɛsrɛ,

Bible se, sɛ yɛka sɛ han bɔfoɔ a wunim, ɔbɔfoɔ a ɔyɛ han na ɔhyren, ɔse mɔnsam tumi dan ne ho saa.
Tɔ mɔnsam bɛwuru so beautiful, bɔhu sɛ mɔnsam wabɔ taɛ ekuta Bible, ɔgyina opopiti anim preach paa, nso wunhu sɛ ɔno a?
Ɔse saa na mɔnsam no ɔyɛ, ɔyɛ ne ho sɛ han bɔfoɔ no.
Na adeɛ baako so ɛwɔ sɛ wote aseɛ ne sɛ: Satan can mimic God.
Ɔbonsam so so no, ɔsese Nyankopɔn, Nyankopɔn ɛyɛ a, right?
No ɔno so aye bi, me ma wo nhwɛsoɔ. Yɛtu mrika kɔ Exodus ti 7 wɔ Apam Dadaw no mu a,
ɛbrɛ a Nyankopɔn ɛsma Moses sɛ kɔ Pharoah anim na kɔyi me mma sɛ wɔm kɔsom me no.
Moses ka sɛ: "Awurade, na Pharoah deɛ bɛyɛ dɛn wate o?" Awurade se: "Okay, me ma wo nsɛnkyerɛne,

Ɛnokrɛ, wode n'opoma m'akɔtwue hɔ, wode n'opoma no to hɔ no ara na ɛdan ɔwɔ, oh na ɔwɔ ya asore gyina hɔ kikiki! Hahaha.
Ɛwa na m'abusame se: "Maramfoɔ boa, wɔnnyɛ hwee, heh! Fro nkurɔfoɔ no bra, wɔmsu mbi yɛ bi."
Pharoah nkurɔfoɔ baba bɛyɛɛ the same thing a Moses yɛeɛ no!
Deɛ mpe sɛ me kyerɛ no ne sɛ, de Nyankopɔn yɛ no, ɔbonsam so so ɔyɛ.
Na deɛ ɛyɛ awɔ mu ne sɛ ewieɛ no, ɔbonsam deɛ no ɛgu.
But ansa na ɛbɛgu no, na wasei nipa mma.

Ansa na wobɛwnu tuasɛ sɛ mɔnsam neyususe asumɛnsie no, na ode nipa no brɛ kɔ ɔseie mu.
Hwɛ!
Nyankopɔn eyi ɔman a yɛfrɛ no sɛ Israel, ɛna oyii ɛyɛ adiyifoɔ ɛwɔ Israel hɔ ma wɔnom.
Nti na Nyankopɔn na m'Israel foɔ osi na eka sɛ, Na wunim? Ɔbonsam su kɔyii ne adiyifoɔ

Nyankopɔn adiyifoɔ bɛkasa, na ɔbonsam so deɛna bɛkasa. Na me nua, ɔbonsam deɛ yɛntwerɛ ne nim sɛ: "Wei yɛ ɔbonsam aye o!"
Sɛnea okuta Baabolo preaching me mfifire te no no.
Wobɛyɛ dɛn wahu sɛ ɔfiri ɔ... aye ɔbonsam?
Ɔse berɛ a Nyankopɔn prophet ɛshɛ nkɔm no, na ɔbonsam so deɛ ɛshɛ nkɔm. Na Jeremia kae, ɔse:
Kan Jeremia ti 23 kyekyɛmu 21 no a, ɔse: "I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran;
I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied." Hey!
Jeremia se: "Hwɛ, mo hwɛ yie Israel foɔ, efiri sɛ nkurɔfoɔ bi so wɔ hɔ a wɔm se wɔn yɛ prophet, adiyifoɔ.
Nyankopɔn se me nsumawɔn.
Nyankopɔn se me nka hwee nkyerɛ wɔn o, nso wɔm se Awurade ayi akyerɛ me. Ɛnɛ Ghana, Awurade ayi akyerɛ me, Awurade ayi akyerɛ me, ɛno na wɔm tete Ghana hɔ a wɔm yɛ.
Na wɔm ka na politicians nsi adeɛ ne ɛho po chchchchch.

Na deɛ etwatoa me de bɛgya wo anwummere yi, me se anwummere yi deɛ yɛ introduction kwa, na ɛkyire no, na wote deɛ ɛneɛ nim no yɛbɛ dɔ mu so kɔ no,
ɛne sɛ:
Paul ka nsɛm bi 2 Corinthians ti 11 kyekyɛmu 13 ne 14 no, ɔse:
"For such men are false prophets..." Wɔn ne nom ni?
Wobɛyɛ dɛn na wahu, hwan na y'atwerɛ ne nim sɛ wei yɛ false prophet? Seesei Ghana, wɔm a ɛte wɔ nyinaa se yɛ adiyifoɔ.

Na mo tete hɔ hwɛ saa nkurɔfoɔ yi.
Nyankopɔn asuma wɔn? Jeremia se: "Me nsuma wɔn, nanso wɔm yɛ dɛn? Ɛhyɛ nkɔm."
Paul se: "They are false prophets, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ,
and no wonder, even Satan disguises himself as an angel of the light." 2 Corinthians ti 11 kyekyɛmu 13 ne 14.
Ɛno na me de bɛgya wo anwummere yi. Na teaseɛ sɛ asɛm a yɛsua no sɛ, Nyame wa me nipa ho kwan sɛ obi tumi te asɔre anaa?
