“Koutou Mau Te Feofaaki Ia Koutou”

“E au foaki atu kia koutou he fekau foou: Kotou feofaaki ia koutou; o hage ko au, nee au ofa ia koutou, ko koutou anai, koutou feofaaki ia koutou. I te mea aia e iloi anai e te tagata fuli, ko koutou ko aku tisipulo, mo kapau e koutou mau te feofaaki ia koutou.”—SOANE 13:34, 35.

Koteā Ia Tona Fakaʼuhiga? Neʼe ʼui e Kilisito ki tana kau tisipulo ke natou feʼofaʼofani ohagē ko tona ʼofa ʼaē kiā nātou. Neʼe fakahā feafeaʼi e Sesu ia tona ʼofa ʼaē kiā nātou? Neʼe ʼofa ki te hahaʼi fuli logolā tonatou fehiʼa ki ʼihi atu lanu pea mo te hahaʼi fafine ʼi tona temi. (Soane 4:7-10) Neʼe uga e te ʼofa ia Sesu ke ina fakaʼaogaʼi tona temi, mo tona mālohi pea mo ʼona lelei ke tokoni ki ʼihi. (Maleko 6:30-34) Koia, neʼe fakahā ai e Kilisito ia tona ʼofa lahi ʼi te ʼu ʼaluʼaga fuli pē. Neʼe ina ʼui fēnei: “Ko au ko te tauhi ovi agalelei. Ko te tauhi ovi agalelei e ina foaki tona mauli ki ana ovi.”—Soane 10:11.

Neʼe Mulimuli Feafeaʼi Kiai Ia Te Kau ʼUluaki Kilisitiano? ʼI te ʼuluaki sēkulō, neʼe fakahigoaʼi ia te kau Kilisitiano ko “tehina” peʼe “tuagaane.” (Filemo 1, 2) Neʼe tali leleiʼi ia te hahaʼi ʼo te ʼu fenua fuli pē ʼi te kōkelekāsio, neʼe natou maʼu te manatu ʼaē ‘ ʼe mole kehekehe te kau Sutea mo te kau Keleka, heʼe ko te ʼAliki pē e tahi maʼa te hahaʼi fuli.’ (Loma 10:11, 12) ʼI te hili ʼo te Penikositē ʼo te taʼu 33 ʼo totatou temi, ko te kau tisipulo ʼo Selusalemi “nee natou fakatau onatou kele mo onatou koloa, pea e natou tufatufa te paaga ia natou fuli, o mulimuli ki te mea e aoga ki te tagata takitahi.” Koteā anai ʼaē kā natou fakahoko? Koia, ko nātou ʼaē neʼe hoki papitema age neʼe feala ke natou nonofo ʼi Selusalemi pea mo “natou kataki fualoa i te akonaki a te kau apositolo.” (Gaue 2:41-45) Koteā ʼaē neʼe ina uga nātou ke natou mulimuli kiai? Kua hili kiai taʼu e 200 ʼo te ʼosi mamate ʼa te kau ʼapositolo neʼe tohi e Tertullien te ʼu palalau ʼaē neʼe fai ʼo ʼuhiga mo te kau Kilisitiano: “Neʼe natou feʼofaʼofani lahi . . . pea mo natou tali ke natou mamate ke feala hanatou fehaofakiʼaki.”

Ko Ai ʼAē ʼe Mulimuli Ki Te Manatu ʼAia Iā ʼAho Nei? Neʼe ʼui ʼi te tohi (Histoire du déclin et de la chute de lʼEmpire romain 1837) talu mai te ʼu sēkulō ko nātou ʼaē ʼe natou lau ʼe natou Kilisitiano “ ʼaē ʼe fefakatupuʼaki ai ia te ʼu aga fekai ke kaugamālie ia te hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe mole tui ki te ʼAtua.” Heʼeki faʼa fualoa ʼi Amelika neʼe fai ia te sivi, ko te kaugamālie ʼe natou lau ko nātou ko te hahaʼi lotu, tokolahi iā nātou ʼe natou lau ko nātou ko te kau Kilisitiano kae ʼe natou toe fakapalatahi. ʼI te agamāhani, ko te hahaʼi lotu ʼo he fenua ʼe natou fia faʼifaʼitaliha ohagē ko nātou ʼaē ʼe tatau tanatou faʼahiga tauhi ʼo he tahi age fenua pea ʼe mole natou fealagia peʼe mole faʼa lotolelei ke natou tokoni ki ʼonatou kaumeʼa ʼi te tui mokā natou loto ki he meʼa.

ʼI taʼu 2004, ʼi te hili ʼo te tō ʼo te ʼu ʼafā e fā lolotoga māhina e lua, neʼe fakakaku tonu kiai ia te pelesitā ʼo te Komitē ʼo Te ʼu Fakatuʼutuʼu Tokoni ʼo Floride ʼo vakaʼi peʼe fakaʼaogaʼi fakalelei ia te ʼu tokoni. Neʼe ina ʼui neʼe mole he tahi age kūtuga ʼe gāue ʼi te fakatokatoka ʼe tatau mo te kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova, pea neʼe ina foaki ia te ʼu tokoni ʼaē ʼe ʼaoga ki te kau Fakamoʼoni. Ki muʼa atu, ʼi te taʼu 1997, neʼe fai folau ki te Lepupilika Fakatemokalatike ʼo Congo ia te kiʼi kūtuga ʼo te kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova mo te ʼu faitoʼo, mo te meʼa kai pea mo te ʼu mutuʼi meʼa moʼo tokoni ki ʼonatou tehina Kilisitiano pea mo ʼihi atu neʼe ʼaoga kiai ia te tokoni. Neʼe foaki e ʼonatou tehina Fakamoʼoni ʼo te Eulopa ia te tokoni ko tona tau falā ko te 88 080 000.
