What is TruthFM Ghana (Akan Language)?

I became a Christian 44 years ago in Ghana. A married man with 3 young adult children, all believers.
I am a staff Nurse in Scotland, UK but have been actively involved in teaching and preaching the gospel for many years. Also very active from the last 7 years on social media with the gospel. I'm on Facebook, YouTube, tiktok, and Spotify. The name I use online is Paul Offin Bible Class or Paul Offin Teaching.

Minyanom, ɔfa a ɛtɔ so mmienu na ɛtwa saa ah eh ade suɛ yi ɛto.

Ɔnsa ade suɛ yi no, yɛ hwehwɛ sɛ asɛmpakafɔɔ ɛyɛ asafo no asɛdeɛ, sɛ ɔmo na ɛtua asɛmpakafɔɔ ni?

Anaa sɛ, sɛnea yɛde no abrabɔ bɛkeka yi no, ɔmo mfa ɔmo nsa nkɔyɛ adwuma na ɔmo ansa mfa mɛhwɛ ɔno ho na yɛahwɛ asafo no anaa?

Na ɛno na yɛ hwehwɛ emu yi.

Ɛno nti, minyanom bɛkye, ah yɛ asɛm no na yɛkyerɛkyerɛ no. Na ɛne sɛ, ɛbɛboa wo nso so.

Ɔfa a ɛtɔ so mmienu no, yɛ keka ɛyɛ Korintofoɔ nwoma a ɛdi kan, ti a ɛyɛ ɛnkron no, kyɛ mu bako kɔpɛm ɛdunkron no nyinaa.

Ɛma yɛhunu sɛ, ɛhɔ argument a na Paul reyɛ no, ɛne sɛ ɛyɛ asafo no asɛdeɛ.

"It is the responsibility of the church, every local church, to take care of their preacher or the one who preaches for them."

Nyankopɔn na ahyɛ ɔmo sɛ ɔno nyɛ.

Tɔ dabi mpo na saa asafo no wɔ elders a, elders no nso ɛbi adwuma ne sɛ, ɔmo de ɔmo ho asi sɛ ɔmo bɛyɛ adwuma no a, ɛyɛ asafo no asɛdeɛ sɛ elders no nso no, ɔmo bɛma wɔn biribi.

But, nea ɛmu ne sɛ, ɔka no pɛn sɛ ɔno nkyi ɔpɔre aborɔno, na yɛ nsi no kwan.

Nti, obi a ɔka asɛmpa no ho no, asɛmpa no, ɔse asɛmpa no ho na ɔdi kyere.

Now, me pɛ sɛ, those a ɔmo mfa ansa ɛyɛ video a ɛdi kan anaa deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no, argument a me ne anuanom abɛkyi ɛyɛ no, motie kakra.

Na afei, eh yɛde atoasɔ na yɛahunu sɛnea yɛbɛyɛ akyerɛkyerɛ yɛn nsem no mu afa. Nti tie, mɛbɛsan aba mo nkyɛn.

Abusua, momma yɛnhwɛ comment yi a yɛn nua barmima Kwame Isaac ɔde ato soɔ yi.

Ɔse ɔyɛ Church of Christ member, nanso ɔn-support-o Church of Christ preachers a ɔmo ka asɛmpa wie a gye ɔmo akatua ɛfi members botom.

Yɛn nua barima yi, ɔyɛ 100% right.

Ɛsise yɛkɔ asomafoɔ no nkyerɛkyerɛ mu a, asomafoɔ no ambɛka asɛmpa ambɛgye ho abosom akatua. Nti momma yɛnkɔ Twerɛ Kronkron no mu.

Sɛ wokenkan 1 Corinthians chapter 9 verse 18 a, ɔse: Ɔsomafoɔ Paul na ɔka asɛm wei wɔ ha, ɔse:

'Na afei makatua nneɛma ɛwɔ hene? Ɛne sɛ, meka asɛmpa no a, memmfa akatua biara mma ho.'

'Na mamfa me kwan a mewɔ no asɛmpaka ho no, anyɛ biribi.' Sɛ woahunu? Ɔsomafoɔ Paul se: 'Na afei makatua nneɛma ɛwɔ hene?'

'Ɛne sɛ, sɛ ɔka asɛmpa no a, ɔrenmfa akatua biara mma ho. Na wamfa kwan biara a ɔwɔ wɔ asɛmpaka ho no ambɛpɛ ne ho,'

'ambɛha members asomdwoeɛ, ambɛteetee members, amfa sika nsɛm ambɛha ne members asomdwoeɛ.' Woate aseɛ? Nti, asomafoɔ no...

Sɛ wokenkan 1 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 9 a, ɔse:

'Yampɛ sɛ yɛbɛyɛ adesoa ama asafo biara, nti yɛde yɛn nsa dwo yɛn adwuma awia ne anadwo,'

'na ne nyinaa mu yɛde ka Kristo asɛmpa.'

Eduu baabi a ɔno ɔsomafo Paul yɛɛ aso ka sɛ, 'asafo a ɛwɔ ha yi ɛboaa me,' na kyerɛ sɛ, ɔsomafoɔ Paul asɛmpaka a ɔbɛkaeɛ mu no,

wambɛgye akatua, na mmom yɛ-support-oo no.

Nti sɛ ɛba preaching, anaa sɛ ɛba preacher, ne asɛdeɛ a ɛwɔ sɛ asafo mma tumi de ma wɔn a, ɛyɛ support.

Support nso, ɔhyɛ ne mu.

Support, ɛnyɛ by force. Mewɔ bi a, na ma-support wo. Minni bi a, ɔhyɛ biara nni nipa so sɛ:

'Preacher, ɛwɔ sɛ yɛtua ne car; Preacher, ɛwɔ sɛ...' nti na asafo mma no ɛha haae. Dabi!

Ɛno nti na ɔsomafoɔ Paul de ne nsa yɛɛ adwuma no. Ɛsiane sɛ ɔsomafoɔ Paul hunuu sɛ, obi firi ne pɛ mu a-support wo no, ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ.

Nti ɛsɛ sɛ me ankasa ɔsomafoɔ Paul mebɔ me ho so na meyɛ m'adwuma. Ɛbi wɔ hɔ a ɔwo preacher, ɔse:

'Wɔ bɛyɛ biribi wɔ asafo mu a, ɛwɔ sɛ wonya sika ɛde to collection.' Ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ o! Free will, ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ.

Free will giving, ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ. Wowɔ bi a, na woaboa Awurade adwuma. Wonni bi o, ɔhyɛ biara nni nipa so.

Ɛnti yɛbɛserɛ mo, Church of Christ preachers, mo nso mommfa mo nsa nkɔyɛ adwuma.

Minyanom, medase sɛ woakɔtie yɛn nua bɛkee ne nsem no.

Na menua no, sɛne me nua baa no bɛkaeɛ no, me nani gye ne ho sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa akokodroofoɔ a, ɔhwɛ social media.

Ɔtwetwe nipa beberee abenese nneɛma so.

Na saa nsem yi a, ɔka no social media no, nokwasɛm ne sɛ, nea ɔde totɔɔ nea ɔtwerɛ no so no, ɛmasɛ wedeviate kakra.

Nea ɛno na mepɛ sɛ mede m'ani bɛgye ho. Nneɛma beberee wɔ hɔ nom a, waka titire ɛfa Church of Christ ho no,

Ɛbɛboa asɛm yi anaa ɛyea no kakrakakra, woate aseɛ? Nti no, menua baa no nya abotrɛ.

Ɛtɔ dabi a, na ne kasa nbi wɔ hɔ a, na ɔhye, te sɛ nea na ɔreka sɛ: 'Church of Christ nso, ɔse dɛn, yɛyɛ debate wɔ asɔre ho,'

na ɔde nsuka sem bi sɛ 'yɛn nkurasesɛm' anaa deɛ ɛte saa, ɛno deɛ, na ɔwɔ hye, menua baa.

Eba saa na ɛsɛ sɛ wo ne wo nuanom ate mu. Bible se yɛnhwɛ yie na kasa biara a ɛho ntia no, ɛmmfri yɛn anom.

Even though sɛ wo ne nipa no nnyɛ adwene a, ma yɛn anom kasa no, ɛnyɛ atɛndidie. "It doesn't solve the problem."

Me kwan a me pɛ sɛ yɛkɔ heaven no, adwuma no, Kristosom deɛ ɛnyɛ wo de, ɛnyɛ wo personal property,

ɛna sɛ obi bɛyɛ a, sɛbe, wabɛyɛ yaw no, woate aseɛ? Nti wei deɛ, me deɛ, mede mɛkyɛ, woate aseɛ?

Mede mɛkyɛ, because wo generalize ɛno sɛ Church of Christ foɔ nti ɛyɛ nkurasesɛm nneɛma deɛ, "I just forget it."

Ɛnyɛ adeɛ a ɛho hia me. Na mmom no, woakokodro sɛ wode pɛ sɛ wubie nneɛma bi ɛne no, m'ani gye ho pa ara.

Nti kɔ so, ba nneɛma bi wɔ hɔ nom a woka no sɛ, yɛde to Bible ho na sɛ ɛne no ɛnkɔ deɛ a, yɛbɛba na yɛn nso yɛde anoyie aba bɛkyerɛkyerɛ mu.

Sɛ yɛka sɛ asɛmpakafɔɔ no, ɛyɛ asɛdeɛ, na kwan bɛn so na yɛbɛfa so ɛnnya sika de ahwɛ asɛmpakafɔɔ no?

Yɛn, yɛnnye ntotosodeɛ dodo te sɛ ntotosodeɛ dodo no, Israelfoɔ no na na ɛyɛ. Na ɛhwɛ wɔn asɔfoɔ ne Levi asɔfoɔ.

Ɛnɛ, yɛnni asɔfoɔ ɛnɛ wɔ hɔnom. Na mmom sɛ ɔba asafo no mu a, asɔfoɔ mmai kyerɛ yɛn sɛ, yɛwɔ asɛmpakafɔɔ.

Na saa asɛmpakafɔɔ no, bi te sɛ Timothy na ɔyɛ asɛmpakani.

Paul, ɔno nso yɛ asɛmpakani a, ɔno na asɛmpaka no yɛfrɛ no sɛ "evangelist" ɔde nam kɛntise. Paul nso, ɔhia sɛ yɛtua ne ka.

Obi se Titus nso na ɔyɛ asɛmpakani saa, nti yɛwɔ asɛmpakafɔɔ bi a, wɔn Bible no hyɛɛ da bɔɔ wɔn din.

Bi nso se wɔhɔ nom a wambɔ wɔn din, te sɛ Korinto asafo no sɛ asɛmpakafɔɔ na ɛwɔ hɔ no, Bible no ankyerɛ, but, na asafo no wɔ asɛmpakafɔɔ wɔ elders nyinaa.

Na ɛse saa asɛmpakafɔɔ no, wɔn adwuma a wɔmo di ne sɛ, wɔmo ka asɛmpa no kyerɛ asafo no.

Wɔn ne siesie, tena ase, suadeɛ kronkron no, ɛtietie asɔre no, na akyerɛkyerɛfoɔ bi wɔ mu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔn, ne nyinaa.

Na sɛ nipa yi pɛ sɛ saa daa nyinaa, bɛtete asafo yi, sɛ wɔm bɛnyini wɔ honhom mu na daa akyi wɔmo akɔ heaven a,

ebinom se: 'Ɛho nhia sɛ asafo no bɛyi sika firi wɔn botom de aboa saa nngrofoɔ no,'

efisɛ, ɛyɛ free will, ɔmo nyɛ no saa. Na saa na Bible no ka anaa?

Ɛmma deɛ sɛ, ɛnyɛ saa nipa no adwuma, na mmom ɛyɛ Onyankopɔn adwuma.

Na Onyankopɔn na ɔyɛ adwuma no, yɛntie nea ɔkaeɛ.

Ɔfɛɛ di kan kɔhwɛɛ Israelfoɔ ho sɛ, ɛberɛ a ɔyii saa asɔfoɔ no, ɔka kyerɛɛ Yudafoodo no sɛ, ɔmo nyi ntotosodeɛ,

na saa dodoɔ dodoɔ no, ɛnyɛ saa Levi asɔfoɔ no agyapadeɛ na mmom yɛmfa hwɛ wɔn daa.

Na afei nso, ɔmo mma aduane ntina, ɛyɛ nadeɛ koraa dɛm sɛdeɛ bɛyɛ a asɔfoɔ bɛdidie.

But ɛba apam foforo no mu a, yɛwɔ asɛmpakafɔɔ. Kwan bɛn na wɔm bɛfa so mbedidie?

Ɛno na Paul yɛ argument a ɔde dii 1 Corinthians chapter 9.

Sɛ, 'Wɔn a wɔka asɛmpa no, wɔsa asɛmpa no ho na wɔdidie.' Period. Gyae to twa.

But ɛsiane sɛ yɛn nua ba no argument ne sɛ, Paul se: 'Sɛ woyɛ asɛmpakani a, fa wo nsa dwo kɔyɛ adwuma,' sɛnea motee video no mu ɔkaeɛ no.

Ɛno nti no, ɛnsɛ sɛ, wɔnom de wɔn asɛdeɛ bɛto asafo no soɔ no.

Ɛne a yɛpɛ sɛ Paul asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no yɛkyerɛkyerɛ mu. Yɛse, quotation a ɔkɔgyinaa soɔ, na wogyinaa ɛno nkoasoo no,

Ɛnyɛ saa na na Paul koraa repa kyew. Na yɛkyerɛkyerɛ mu dada.

Nti sɛ wei ne nea ɛtwa toɔ, sɛ woantie part one, part two no a, kɔpɛ nso na tie, na ɛbɛte aseɛ.

Now, yɛnnye collection, yɛnnye ntotosodeɛ, dɛn na yɛyi ɛwɔ Kristo Yesu asafo no mu anaa sɛ Church of Christ no mu? Ɛyɛ collection.

Now, yɛnhwɛ 1 Corinthians chapter 16 verse 1 and 2 no a:

"Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also, I mean you the church at Corinth, you also are to do."

"On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside in store and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come."

Saa nsɛm yi a ɔkaeɛ no, emu yɛ do. Ɔse: 'Na ɛfa toɔ a,'

'Ɔde ma ahotefoɔ no, ahotefoɔ no toɔ no, ahotefoɔ ne Kristofoɔ no a ɔfɛ usua ahotefoɔ ma wɔn no.'

'Sɛnea meahyehyɛ, Paul no ankasa ɔfɛ ne to m'ina, ɛnam Honhom Kronkron no na ɛnam ne so, wɔde saa hyehyɛdeɛ nyinaa baeɛ.'

'Ɔse sɛnea meahyehyɛ no Galatia asafo no, mo a mo wɔ Korinto no mo nso monyɛ saa.'

'Dabiara na wɔtwerɛ no da a ɛdi kan, yɛ Sunday, na wɔtwerɛ deɛ ɛdi kan yɛ Sunday biara a, mo bɛhyia mu no.'

'Mo mu biara mfa nea ɔbɛnya, ɛmmra ne sɛneɛ ɛsi no yie, no mfa mbra, na mo mfa njo na mo gather.'

'Ɔse, ɛsi ɔno ne yie, nti deɛ ɔbɛnya, wanka dodoɔ.'

'Ɛno nti deɛ ebinom se collection no, is not commanded, ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ. Wɔka sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ a kyerɛ sɛ it is not commanded. Adeɛ a yɛ-command-wo sɛ yɛ no na yɛfrɛ no sɛ yɛahyɛ.'

'Na aha asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no, ɛyɛ ɔhyɛ anaa sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ? Ɔse:'

'Sɛnea meahyehyɛ no, saa na mo nyɛ. Daa na wɔtwerɛ deɛ ɛdi kan, mo mu biara.'

"It's a command. You have to. You have to."

"But, sɛ deɛ wode bɛba no, ɛno na ɛnyɛ command. Sɛ obi de 10 Ghana, obi de 20 Ghana, obi de 50 Ghana no, ɛno deɛ ɛyɛ wo nipa no awasɛm."

"Na mmom, ɛyɛ ɔhyɛ sɛ, wode biribi ba sɛdeɛ bɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn adwuma no, sɛ aniyafoɔ a wɔmo kyerɛ wɔn wɔ asafo no mu,"

"asɛmpakafɔɔ bɛdidie, asɔre no akɔka asɛmpa wɔ ha no, ɛwɔ sɛ wo a woyɛ asafo ba wɔ Kristo Yesu na asafo mu biara no, wode saa deɛ no ba."

"Na wɔtwerɛ deɛ ɛdi kan, ma yɛjije gu hɔnom."

"Sɛdeɛ bɛyɛ a, yɛbɛtumi de ayɛ saa edwuma no a ɛwɔ asɔre no mu no."

"Woate aseɛ? But deɛ ɔka ne sɛ, how much one should give is not commanded."

"Sɛnea me, memmfa mmra deɛ, ɛno deɛ Nyankopɔn nhyɛ obiara, na mmom ɛyɛ ɔhyɛ sɛ collection ewie."

"Sɛnea ɛyɛ ɔhyɛ sɛ woko kɔbedidie, sɛnea ɛyɛ ɔhyɛ sɛ bokɔhyia mu na mo som Awurade, saa na ɛyɛ ɔhyɛ sɛ, na wɔtwerɛ deɛ ɛdi kan,"

"wode ɛyɛ to buaba. Ɛnyɛ ntotosodeɛ dodo."

"Ɛna na wɔtwerɛ deɛ ɛdi kan no, yɛnnye sika aniopɛ, anɔpa, ɛnyumre ne wɔhe, te sɛ yi. Dabi a, inipa asɔre no na ɛjije saa sika no."

"But deɛ Bible no ka no wɔ hanom no, a ɛyɛ nea Bible no ka no, yɛnjije saa sika hɔ. Ɔse na wɔtwerɛ deɛ ɛdi kan yɛ nin."

"Sɛ wɔse yɛnyɛ dɛn, yɛmmfra."

"Nea mekyerɛ mo a mote aseɛ ne, unlike Christianity where the amount is not specified (sɛ dodoɔ a fambra no, sɛ ɛte ku a, ɛno ara fana)."

"In Judaism, the offering, no deɛ ɔde ma wɔno, off-specify, na specify no, ɔse:"

"both the rich and the poor were commanded to give the same."

"Now, yɛnkɔ Exodus, ɛti a ɛyɛ 30 verse 14 and 15, Exodus chapter 14... chapter 30 verse 14 to 15, na ɛti asɛm a ɔkae, ɔse:"

"Everyone who is numbered in the census (Israelfoɔ no a ɛbɛkan wɔn nyinaa no), from the 20 years old upwards"

"(Wɔmo a wɔmo yɛ, yɛ yɛa census, na wɔm adie mfeɛ 20 ɛkɔ nyinaa kɔpim sɛ wɔmo bɛwu no, right?)"

"shall give the Lord's offering (Onyankopɔn afɔrebɔ no, ntoboa no, ɔse wɔmo yi), ɔse offering, okay."

"Verse 15 tie, verse 15 tie:"

"The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less. Nti mfasoɔ ne sɛ,"

"Ɔse 10 Cedis na obi nyi a, ɔse woyɛ sikanipa anka sɛ memwo sika dodo nti me yi 15, ɔse yi 10 no ara."

"Ɛna woyɛ ohiani nso anka sɛ oh me deɛ mehia me nti mma me mma 5, dabi, ɔse yi 10 no ara. Ahun sɛnea Israelfoɔ no mmara no ɛse teɛ?"

"Nti wɔmo deɛ Nyankopɔn specify maa wɔmo, ɛnse sɛ woyi boro so anaa, but Kristosom deɛ nte saa."

"Kristosom no, ɔse sɛnea wo susu wɔ wo koma mu no na fa bra, ɛno na ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ."

"Nea mmom sɛ wode mɛba no deɛ, ɛyɛ ɔhyɛ sɛ na wɔtwerɛ deɛ ɛdi kan Kristofoɔ hyia, monye biribi."

"Nti, mpa kyew tie, na wanhwɛ yie a, ubegye manwo esi bɔne."

"Woate aseɛ? Anything distinct Israelfoɔ wei deɛ ɛbɛyɛ ne sɛ, woyɛ ohiani anka sɛ me mehia me nti, me, me, mma."

"Ɛna woyɛ sikanipa nso anka sɛ me no, me sika ni nti mede bi boro so. Nyankopɔn de hyɛ saa mmara de ma wɔmo."

"Ɔse woyɛ sikanipa o, woyɛ ohiani o, ɛwɔ sɛ woyi bi."

"Na deɛ ɛbɛmma woate aseɛ ne sɛ,"

"wɔ, ɛberɛ a Kristo Yesu baeɛ no, wokenkan Mark, wokenkan Mark chapter 12 verse 41 to 42 no a,"

"na wɔmo yi asɔredan mu ɛtoɔ,"

"na obiara bɛyi ne deɛ no, Bible se: Okunafoɔ bi,"

"ɛnso so bae, aberewa bi a ɔyɛ okunani a, ɛnhia no bae, ɛde, ɛyɛ, yɛka sɛ nkaprɛ, ɛnɛ yɛnni nkaprɛ, nti momfa no sɛ Ghana sika ketewa koraa ɛwɔ mu no,"

"Nti ebinom de 10 Ghana, ebinom 50 Ghana, ɛne 100 Ghana na ɛtuto mu no, wɔno deɛ ɔde 50p mmienu no anaa sɛneɛ bɛto gu mu."

"Yesu Kristo anka sɛ mame na wo a woahia wo, adɛn nti na sika ketewa a wo wɔ yi, womfa nkɔdidie na wode baeɛ? Yesu anka saa ankyerɛ no o!"

"Nea mmom deɛ Yesu kaeɛ ne sɛ, obɛyɛ?"

"Wɔfiri ne nkuma mu nyinaa ne ne wɔ nyinaa na ɔde abrɛ Awurade, nti ɔno, wɔnya nhyira kɛseɛ ɛsi wɔmo a, ɛde ama m'ama deɛ boro so."

"Adɛn nti? Because wɔmo mmara no, woyɛ ohiani koraa no a, ɛwɔ sɛ woyi."

"Woate aseɛ? Nti ya na, it becomes so emotional and so sensational sɛ, 'ɛnipa no, ɔnni sika ne adeɛ'. Now, sɛ wonni sika Nyankopɔn nhyɛ wo da,"

"na ɔsɔfoɔ biara, ne me ka sɛ asɔfoɔ asɔfoɔ no a aba no, nni hɔ a ɔbɛka kyerɛ obi sɛ, 'ɛye, ɛwɔ sɛ wode sika ba'."

"Ɛna sɛ ɔhwɛ asafo no mu sɛ asɛmpakani biara nni kwan sɛ, ɔtwerɛtwerɛ obi sɛ, ɛwɔ sɛ ɔbɛyi sei."

"Sɛ nipa no nni sika a, ɛnni obiara sɛ ɔforce no, ɛnenti na yɛnfomsoɔ sɛ, Kristosom mu yɛbɛtumi atwatwa toɔ ama obi sɛ, ɔkɔ collection wɔtua sei, na wo nso tua sei ne deɛ kəkɛ kə ho. Dabi!"

"Na ɔno ankasa mfiri nipa mu, na ɔmfa saa deɛ no mmra, na Nyankopɔn ɛne ɛdeɛ, ɛgye ho."

"Now kenkan,"

"2nd Corinthians chapter 9 verse 6 and 7 no a:"

"Aha, Bible no se Kristofoɔ, we have to give cheerfully and according to how much we've been blessed. Aha nom kyerɛ sɛ, Nyankopɔn pɛ sɛ wode anigyeɛ na ɛyɛ, ɛna afei nso, nea wo ankasa wo ho dnain bɛtumi ɛna yɛ."

"Ɛnyɛ ɔhyɛ sɛ yɛbɛhyɛ. Nti ɔho nom na sister ba key se ɔnyɛ ɔhyɛ, me ne sister ba key agree."

"But nea hyɛ a ɔhyɛ no a, ɔno de kɔfa asɛmpakafɔɔ a wɔse 'ɛye yɛhwɛ wɔn anaa yɛtua wɔn ka' no, ɛne deɛ asɛmpakafɔɔ deɛ, ɛyɛ ɔhyɛ asafo no, ɛyɛ wɔn asɛdeɛ sɛ wɔso wɔmo hwɛ, saa na yɛkenkan e,"

"Now, Kristofoɔ, yɛn collection a, yɛde boa ebi ma"

"Now, Bible se sɛ yɛyi a deɛ ɔke, ɔse:"

"2nd Corinthians chapter 9 verse 6 and 7 no, ɔse: 'The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,"

"whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.'"

"Paul se, nea Honhom Kronkron no ka ne:"

"Wo a bɛduane kyinkyin mu no, ubetwa no kyinkyin, wo duane mmefɔ so a ubetwa no mmefɔ. Aseɛ ne sɛn?"

"Kyerɛ sɛ, me mede,"

"Now,"
