The word of Jehovah kept growing and prevailing.—Acts 19:20.

Christianity flourished in the first century. To fare well spiritually, each Christian had to put forth personal effort. Diligent study of the Scriptures, regular attendance at meetings for worship, and zealous activity in the Kingdom-preaching work were essential. Such activities contributed to the spiritual health and unity of Jehovah’s people at that time, even as they do today. Those associated with the well-organized early congregations benefited greatly from the willing and helpful efforts of overseers and ministerial servants. (Phil. 1:1; 1 Pet. 5:1-4) And what a delight it must have been when traveling elders, such as Paul, visited the congregations! (Acts 15:36, 40, 41) The similarities between our worship and that of the first-century Christians are remarkable. How grateful we are that Jehovah organized his servants then as well as now! w14 5/15 3:15, 16

Manténganse alerta (Mat. 25:13).

La parábola de las 10 vírgenes está dirigida a los cristianos ungidos, pero ¿significa esto que las “otras ovejas” no se benefician de ella? (Juan 10:16; Mat. 25:1-13.) De ninguna manera. La lección de la parábola es muy clara: “Manténganse alerta”. Y Jesús dijo en otra ocasión: “Lo que les digo a ustedes, a todos lo digo: Manténganse alerta” (Mar. 13:37). Él espera que todos sus discípulos estén preparados para servirle fielmente y continúen alerta. Todos los cristianos debemos imitar el buen ejemplo de los ungidos y poner la predicación en primer lugar en nuestra vida. El que las vírgenes necias intentaran sin éxito que las discretas les dieran de su aceite nos recuerda que no debemos esperar que otras personas sean fieles por nosotros, vivan la verdad por nosotros o se mantengan alerta por nosotros. Cuando Jesús venga a juzgar a los seres humanos, cada uno tendrá que rendirle cuentas. w15 15/3 2:14

"I am  Jehovah. That  is  my  name" ~  Isaiah 42:8
I am Jehovah. That is my name;
I give my glory to no one else,
Nor my praise to graven images.

An  embryo...   Psalm  139 : 13 - 16     (  a  little  wonder...)
❤ ❤ ❤ .•*¨`*•..¸♥☼♥¸.•*¨`*•.  ❤ ❤ ❤
13 For you produced my kidneys;
You kept me screened off in my mother’s womb.

14 I praise you because in an awe-inspiring way I am wonderfully made.
Your works are wonderful, I know this very well.

15 My bones were not hidden from you
When I was made in secret,
When I was woven in the depths of the earth.

16 Your eyes even saw me as an embryo;
All its parts were written in your book
Regarding the days when they were formed,
Before any of them existed.

[Be] always ready to make a defense before everyone who demands of you a reason for the hope you have.—1 Pet. 3:15.

Young ones, at school you prove yourselves courageous when you readily identify yourselves as Witnesses of Jehovah, even if doing so means being teased by classmates or others. You thereby show that you are proud to bear Jehovah’s name. (Ps. 86:12) You may face pressure to accept evolution as a fact. But you have sound reasons to be confident of your Bible-based belief in creation. You can use the brochure The Origin of Life—Five Questions Worth Asking to give a convincing answer to those who question your beliefs. Then you will find satisfaction in knowing that you have upheld the truth of God’s Word. As true Christians, we all need to keep “speaking with boldness by the authority of Jehovah.” (Acts 14:3) What reasons do we have to preach with boldness, or courage? We know that what we preach is the truth because it is based on the Bible.—John 17:17. w15 2/15 2:7, 8

ONLY  ONE  WAY  IS  THE  RIGHT !  YOU  CAN'T  GO  BOTH  WAY'S...... //  TO  JAHOVAH  OR  SATAN....
The one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment against himself.—1 Cor. 11:29.

Paul warned Memorial partakers: “You cannot be drinking the cup of Jehovah and the cup of demons; you cannot be partaking of ‘the table of Jehovah’ and the table of demons.” (1 Cor. 10:16-21) If a person who partakes of the emblems at the Lord’s Evening Meal has committed a serious sin, he should seek spiritual assistance. (Jas. 5:14-16) If such an anointed one has produced “fruits that befit repentance,” then he is not showing contempt for Jesus’ sacrifice by partaking of the Memorial emblems. (Luke 3:8) Therefore, as we personally prepare for the Memorial, we would find it beneficial to give prayerful thought to our God-given hope. No dedicated servant of Jehovah and faithful follower of his Son would want to show disrespect for Jesus’ sacrifice by partaking of the Memorial emblems if he or she actually lacks clear evidence of being an anointed Christian. w15 1/15 2:11-13

The Kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet let down into the sea and gathering fish of every kind.—Matt. 13:47.

The Kingdom of the heavens is like a dragnet let down into the sea and gathering fish of every kind.—Matt. 13:47.

Jesus likened the preaching of the Kingdom message to all mankind to the lowering of a large dragnet into the sea. Just as such a net indiscriminately catches large numbers of “fish of every kind,” our preaching work attracts millions of people of all kinds. (Isa. 60:5) Not all those attracted to the truth will take a stand for Jehovah. Many have associated with us at our meetings. Others have been willing to study the Bible with us but are not willing to make a commitment. (1 Ki. 18:21) Still others are no longer associating with the Christian congregation. Some youths have been raised by Christian parents and yet have not developed a love for Jehovah’s standards. No matter what the situation, Jesus emphasized that everyone needs to make a personal decision. Those who do are viewed by him as “the precious,” or “desirable,” things “of all the nations.”—Hag. 2:7; ftn. w14 12/15 2:9, 10

Strengthen the hands that hang down and the feeble knees, and keep making straight paths for your feet.—Heb. 12:12, 13.

When Israel’s priesthood was installed, a ram’s blood was applied to the right ear, thumb, and big toe of High Priest Aaron and his sons. (Lev. 8:22-24) This use of blood signified that the priests would obediently do their best to carry out their duties. Similarly, High Priest Jesus set a perfect example for anointed ones and the other sheep. His ear was attuned to God’s guidance. Jesus’ hands were used in carrying out Jehovah’s will, and his feet never strayed from a holy course. (John 4:31-34) Anointed Christians and Jesus’ other sheep must follow the integrity-keeping course of their High Priest. All worshippers of Jehovah must obediently comply with the directives found in God’s Word and thereby avoid grieving his spirit. (Eph. 4:30) They must ‘make straight paths for their feet.’ w14 11/15 2:7, 8

BE PROTECTED WITH JEHOVAH’S PEOPLE
“I will certainly magnify myself and sanctify myself and make myself known before the eyes of many nations; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.”—Ezekiel 38:18-23.
When Gog begins the attack, Jehovah will tell his servants: “Go, my people, enter your inner rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a brief moment until the wrath has passed by.” (Isaiah 26:20) 
During that time, Jehovah will give us instructions about what we need to do to be protected. The “inner rooms” may be connected with our local congregations.
If we want to be protected during the great tribulation, we must accept that God has a people on earth today and that he has organized them into congregations. We must take sides with Jehovah’s people and stay close to our local congregation. 
Just like the psalmist, may we say with all our heart: “Salvation belongs to Jehovah. Your blessing is upon your people.”—Psalm 3:8.
