“Di Lord send dem two by two go every city and place wey e go later.” — Luke 10:1
FOCUS: Four ways we fit copy Jesus zeal for ministry.
=======================================================================
1. Wetin be one quality wey dey make Jehovah people stand out?
Zeal for preaching na one main thing wey dey show say Jehovah Witness na true followers of Christ. Jesus put plenty importance for preaching work and e teach im disciples to dey do am steady. Preaching na privilege and responsibility because na through am Jehovah dey show im love for people.
Unlike fake Christians wey dey feel say preaching na optional or only for inside church, Jehovah Witness dey carry di message go everywhere. But sometimes, e dey normal say our spirit fit come down. Even apostle Paul face tough time wey e need encouragement. But if we remember why we dey preach and how e dey help people, e fit ginger our zeal again.

2. Why e no dey always easy to dey happy for preaching?
If we dey do work like build Kingdom Hall or help brothers, we dey quickly see result and e dey sweet us. Plus, dis kind work dey happen for environment wey dey peaceful and full of appreciation.
But preaching fit dey hard because sometimes we no dey see result. Sometimes people no go want hear, and e fit make us feel say our work no dey do anything. But Bible don assure us say no work wey we do for Jehovah go waste, because we dey obey God and we dey plant seed wey fit grow later.

3. Wetin Luke 13:6-9 teach us about Jesus?
Jesus show us with im attitude say preaching need perseverance. Even when plenty people no accept im message, e continue dey preach with joy until di end. Di parable of di fig tree show say Jehovah dey patient and dey give people chance to change.
Jesus put im whole heart for ministry, and e no stop to find way to touch people heart. Dis one teach us say if we remember say every person get value, we go fit continue with enthusiasm because we trust say Jehovah time go reach, and some people go respond.
---
4. Wetin be di four points we go study for dis article?
Jesus na di best preacher ever, and e give us correct example of enthusiasm. For di last six months before im die, as opposition dey increase, instead make e slow down, e increase di work for four main ways:
1. Do Jehovah will — John 4:34, Jesus say “My food na to do di will of di one wey send me and finish im work,” showing say na im top priority.
2. Pay attention to prophecy — Jesus dey always quote Scripture to show say wetin dey happen na fulfillment of messianic prophecy.
3. Trust Jehovah — Even with danger, e know say God go support am (Hebrews 5:7).
4. Keep positive attitude — Jesus dey preach with hope say some people go listen, and truly, some listen even though many reject am.

HE FOCUSED ON DOING JEHOVAH WILL

Jesus understand say di purpose of im life na to preach. Luke 4:43, e talk say, “I must preach di good news of di Kingdom of God to other towns too.” Dis show say im main mission na to declare God Kingdom, no matter di wahala. E no just stay one place; e waka go many cities and villages.
Luke 13:22 show say for di last months of im ministry, Jesus travel well to make sure many people hear di message. E also teach and send others out. Luke 10:1 mention say e send 70 disciples two by two, training dem to continue di work.

6. How preaching connect with any assignment wey we get?
Jehovah give us di assignment to preach, and Jesus make am clear say dis work go be di main thing wey im followers go do. So, any other assignment for congregation dey connect to dis work.
For example, when we build Kingdom Hall, na so people wey accept di message go get place to worship. Bethel work and organization of di worldwide ministry dey help distribute publications. Relief work dey help brothers meet physical needs so dem fit continue spiritual things, including preaching.
Make we remember: no other work important pass to bring good news of di Kingdom to people. As János, one elder from Hungary talk, preaching na our main work.

7. Why Jehovah want make we continue dey preach? (1 Timothy 2:3, 4)
Jehovah, as loving Father, want make many people know am and get salvation. So, e dey encourage us to dey preach with joy. E know say no be everybody go accept immediately, but every chance wey dem get to hear fit make difference later.
Jesus sef face rejection, but e no allow am stop am. Jehovah dey help us improve our preaching so we fit present di message well.

PAID ATTENTION TO DI PROPHECIES
8. How di prophecy affect Jesus?
Jesus sabi di prophecy wey talk about im ministry and death. E know say im time for earth short, and e need fulfill im mission fast. E understand say di suffering and death dey written inside Scripture (Luke 18:31-34).
Instead to dey discouraged, dis knowledge make am preach with more energy. Di surety say Jehovah prophecy dey always come true make am act quickly to make sure many people hear di Kingdom message before e die.

When we study Bible prophecy, we dey understand di time wey we dey. Prophecy for Daniel 11:40 and Daniel 2:43-45 show say di conflict between world powers na fulfillment of wetin Bible don predict.
As we recognize say we dey live for di last days, e go give us urgent feeling to preach God Kingdom message. We know say human government go soon end, so e dey ginger us to act fast. Our enthusiasm dey come because we sabi say we dey inside di final stage of history, and every preaching effort dey important to save life.

Bible prophecy no just tell us about future; e also motivate us to share hope message with others. Plus, prophecy remind us say Jehovah dey support us. Isaiah 11:6-9 show say Jehovah fit change anybody, so we get confidence to preach even to people wey look uninterested.
Mark 13:10 confirm say di worldwide preaching work na part of prophecy fulfillment, so our part for dis work get plenty meaning. One sister from Dominican Republic talk say when she dey think about dis promises, she dey feel like tell others because Jehovah no make di promises just for her, but for everybody.

But even with di strong opposition, Jesus no gree give up because e get full confidence say Jehovah go support am. E dey always talk say, “I no dey alone, di Father wey send me dey with me.”

13. Why you fit sure say Jehovah go help you?
From apostle time, Jehovah don dey give im people strength to preach with joy even when persecution dey. Jesus even pray for us inside John 17, asking Jehovah to protect im disciples and all wey believe.
Acts show say Jehovah answer di prayer: Christians face opposition but still continue. For Acts 4:29-31, disciples pray and Holy Spirit give dem power to preach with boldness.

14. Why we dey confident say we go continue to preach with joy?
We sure say we fit continue because Jesus don assure us say Jehovah go give di help wey we need, even when preaching hard. We no dey force people to listen or argue.
For countries wey get restrictions, brothers still dey preach boldly because dem trust Jehovah, no be their own power. Apostle Paul suffer well for ministry, but Jehovah give am strength (2 Timothy 4:17). Today, Jehovah still dey give us courage to preach until di work go finish.
