Ninguna disciplina parece ser cosa de gozo, sino penosa (Heb. 12:11).
¿Quiso Pablo dar a entender con estas palabras que la disciplina no es necesaria? No, pues luego añadió que gracias a ella podemos vivir en paz y hacer el bien. Para demostrar que queremos a Jehová, debemos aceptar sus consejos sin molestarnos. Hoy día, muchas personas solo piensan en sí mismas y no les gusta que les señalen sus errores o que les digan qué hacer. Y los pocos que sí aceptan consejos lo hacen a regañadientes. Los cristianos no pueden ser así. La Biblia les manda que dejen de “amoldarse a este sistema de cosas” y que se esfuercen por descubrir cuál es “la perfecta voluntad de Dios” (Rom. 12:2). Por medio de su organización, Jehová nos da oportunos consejos sobre campos como el entretenimiento, la relación con el sexo opuesto y las amistades. Si recibimos sus consejos de buena gana y los ponemos en práctica, le demostraremos nuestro agradecimiento y nuestro amor (Juan 14:31; Rom. 6:17). w15 15/9 5:13, 15

Discipline . . . is painful.—Heb. 12:11.
In saying so, Paul was not minimizing the importance or value of discipline, for he continued: “Yet afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.” If we love Jehovah, we must guard against becoming complacent or resentful of his counsel. In today’s me-first, self-centered generation, it is not easy to talk about counsel and discipline, let alone to accept such. Even those who seem to accept counsel or discipline often do so begrudgingly. Christians, though, are advised to “stop being molded by this system of things.” We are to perceive and follow the “perfect will of God.” (Rom. 12:2) Through his organization, Jehovah gives us timely counsel about many areas of life—our conduct with the opposite sex, our associations, and our recreation. By willingly accepting and applying such direction, we show that we are grateful and that we truly love Jehovah from the heart.—John 14:31; Rom. 6:17. w15 9/15 5:13, 15

Thank You Anke. Ich werde immer müder von Tag zu Tag, es liegt an meiner schwindenden Kraft - und da kann ich Entmutigendes nicht brauchen. Wir sollten so unendlich dankbar sein, zur Zeit der letzten Apostel zu leben, sollen ihnen folgen und so Jehovas Herz erfreuen. That's the most important thing in the last hours of the last days.

THE  OLD  SHOE - BOX ❤
 A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box  in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.
In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totalling  $ 95,000.
He asked her about the contents.
'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me, that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'
The little old man was so moved;  he had to fight back tears....
Only two Precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two Times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with Happiness.

Pray  Until  Something  Happens !    P U S H.....
A man was sleeping one night in his cabin when suddenly his room filled with light, and God appeared.
The Lord told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. The Lord explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. So, this the man did, day after day.
For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all of his might. Each night the man returned to his cabin sore and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain.
Since the man was showing discouragement, the Adversary (Satan) decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into his weary mind:
"You have been pushing against that rock for a long time, and it hasn't moved."
Thus, he gave the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man. Satan said,
"Why kill yourself over this? Just put in your time, giving just the minimum effort; and that will be good enough."
That's what the weary man planned to do, but decided to make it a matter of prayer and to take his troubled thoughts to the Lord.
"Lord," he said, "I have labored long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter. What is wrong? Why am I failing?"
The Lord responded compassionately,
"My friend, when I asked you to serve Me and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all of your strength, which you have done. Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push. And now you come to Me with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so? Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscled, your back sinewy and brown; your hands are callused from constant pressure, your legs have become massive and hard. Through opposition you have grown much, and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. True, you haven't moved the rock. But your calling was to be obedient and to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. That you have done.
Now I, my friend, will move the rock."
At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what God wants is just simple obedience and faith in Him. By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains, but know that it is still Jehovah God  who moves the mountains.
When everything seems to go wrong ... just PUSH !
When the job gets you down ... just PUSH !
When people don't react the way you think they should..... just PUSH !
When your money is "gone" and the bills are due ...just PUSH !
When people just don't understand you ... just PUSH !

Vean qué clase de amor nos ha dado el Padre (1 Juan 3:1).
Aquí el apóstol Juan nos invita a pensar en el gran amor que Jehová nos tiene. Con las palabras “vean qué clase de amor nos ha dado el Padre” estaba animando a los cristianos de su época a que meditaran en las diversas formas en que Jehová había demostrado su cariño. Si nosotros hacemos lo mismo, nos sentiremos más cerca de él y llegaremos a quererlo más. A algunas personas les cuesta creer que Dios pueda querernos. Piensan que solo se encarga de poner normas y de castigar a quienes no las siguen. Como desde niños les han enseñado doctrinas falsas, dicen que Dios es cruel y que no tenemos motivos para amarlo. En el otro extremo están quienes opinan que Dios nunca dejará de querernos, sin importar si lo que hacemos está bien o mal. Nosotros, en cambio, hemos aprendido en la Biblia que la cualidad principal de Jehová es el amor y que nos quiere tanto que ofreció a su Hijo para rescatarnos de la muerte y el pecado (Juan 3:16; 1 Juan 4:8). w15 15/9 4:1, 2

See what sort of love the Father has given us!—1 John 3:1.
This statement by the apostle John is truly worthy of our deep and appreciative reflection. With the words “see what sort of love the Father has given us,” John was urging Christians to think about the nature and magnitude of God’s love for them, to consider how God loves them. Comprehending Jehovah’s love in those terms will surely deepen our love for him and strengthen our relationship with him. To some, though, God’s love for people is a foreign concept. To them, God is to be feared and obeyed. Or perhaps because of certain entrenched erroneous teachings, they feel that God is unloving, even unlovable. On the other hand, there are those who believe that God’s love is unconditional and that he loves them regardless of what they do or fail to do. As you studied the Bible, you learned that love is Jehovah’s paramount attribute and that his love moved him to give his Son as a ransom in our behalf.—John 3:16; 1 John 4:8. w15 9/15 4:1, 2

NOT  SO  EASY  TODAY,   PREACHING  IN  NIGERIA,  AFRICA....
BUT  OUR  BROTHERS  SO  BRAVE  AND  DILIGENT  IN  SERVICE  FOR  JEHOVAH ❤
ON  THE  WAY  WITH  OUR  GOOD  MESSAGE  FOR  ALL  THE  HUMANS....    Thank  you  dear  Brothers !

IS THE HUMAN soul immortal ?   (Immortal means CANNOT die)  What does the Bible answer?
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die."   Ezekiel 18:4 KJV.
Regarding the creation of Adam, the first "human" soul, the Bible states:  "Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a "living soul." Genesis 2:7 Notice that Adam WAS a living soul, it was not just something that he had.
The Hebrew word  "nephesh,"  translated  "soul,"  means a creature that breathes. When God created the first man Adam, he did not infuse in him an immortal soul, but the life force that is maintained by breathing. When Adam stopped breathing, he was dead. Adam's soul, his entire  "self'  was dead. He did not go to heaven.... he went to the grave !  So when the  "soul"  is separated from the life force originally given by God,  the soul dies. Genesis 3:19,  Ezekiel 18:20.
The lies of false religion of the immortality of the soul raises questions to all who have read their Bible carefully. Where do souls go after death? What happens to the souls of the wicked? When Christendom (false Christians) this led them to accept another lie....the teaching of hellfire. Ecclesiastes 3:19, ' Matthew 10:28, Acts 3:23.
So now, with an understanding of the above material, we can understand that when JESUS CHRIST DIED,  he did not go directly to heaven, he went to the grave, just as the Bible said he did, and he had to await his resurrection back to life by his Father and maker, Jehovah God. Soon after his resurrection, he did ascent to heaven, and he did take on immortality at that time. If he had immortality prior to his death, he would not have needed to be resurrected !
Why can't the liars of false religion understand these basic facts ??
