Naʻe hoko mai ai ha ngaahi malanga hokohoko. Ko William Van De Wall, ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kōmiti Vaʻa ʻi he ʻIunaite Seteté, naʻe lea ʻi he tuʻunga-lea “Faivelenga Fakamisinalé—Ko ha Fakaʻilonga Ia ʻo e Kau Kalisitiane Moʻoní.” Naʻá ne fakahanga ai ʻa e tokangá ki he fekau ko ia ke ‘ngaohi-ākongá,’ ʻa ia ʻoku lēkooti ʻi he Mātiu 28:19, 20, pea naʻá ne enginaki ki he kau akó: “Faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsū, ʻa ia naʻá ne fakahoko hono vāhenga-ngāue fakamisinalé ʻaki ʻa e faivelenga mo e loto-māfana.” Ke tokoniʻi ʻa e kau misinale ʻi he kahaʻú ke tauhi ʻenau faivelenga ki he ngāue fakamisinalé, naʻá ne fakalototoʻaʻi kinautolu: “Piki maʻu ki ha taimi-tēpile lelei; tauhi maʻu ha tōʻonga ako fakafoʻituitui lelei, nofo maʻu ʻi he laka fakataha mo e taimí ʻi he ngaahi meʻa fakateokalatí; pea tokangataha maʻu pē ki he ngaahi ʻuhinga ʻokú ke ʻi ho vāhenga-ngāué aí.”
Ko hono hoko ʻi he polokalamá ko Guy Pierce, ko ha mēmipa ʻo e Kulupu Pulé. Naʻá ne fakahoko ʻa e kaveinga “Hokohoko Fakatupulekina ‘Hoʻomou Mafai Fakaefakaʻuhingá.’” (Loma 12:1, NW) Naʻá ne fai ha faleʻi fakapotopoto ki he kalasi maʻu tohi fakamoʻoni akó, ʻo fakalototoʻaʻi kinautolu ke nau ngāueʻaki ʻenau malava ʻoku foaki mei he ʻOtuá ke fakakaukau mo fakaʻuhinga. “Hokohoko atu ke fakakaukau loloto fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ʻoku folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate kimoutolu fakafou mai heʻene Folofolá. ʻE maluʻi kimoutolu ʻe he meʻá ni,” ko ʻene fakahaá ia. (Palovepi 2:11) Naʻe toe enginaki ʻa Tokoua Pierce ki he kalasí ke ʻoua ʻe hoko ʻo fakamatematē ʻi heʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú koeʻuhi ke ʻoua te nau fakafaingataʻaʻiaʻi ai ʻenau “mafai fakaefakaʻuhingá.” Ko hono moʻoní, ko e ngaahi fakamanatu taimi totonú ni ʻe fakamoʻoniʻi ʻene tokoni lahí ʻi he ngāue ʻa e kau maʻu tohi fakamoʻoni akó ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau misinalé.
Naʻe hoko atu ʻa e tokotaha seá ʻo fakafeʻiloaki mai ʻa e taha ʻo e kau faiako Kiliatí, ko Lawrence Bowen, ʻa ia naʻe lea ʻi he kaveinga “Fili ke ʻOua ʻE ʻIlo ha Meʻa Pē.” Naʻá ne fakahaaʻi ʻo pehē ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e ngāue fakamisinale ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻi Kolinitoó, naʻá ne “fili ke ʻoua ʻe ʻilo ha meʻa pē . . . tuku kehe ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, mo hono tutuki iá.” (1 Kolinito 2:2, NW) Naʻe ʻilo ʻe Paula ko e ivi mālohi lahi taha ʻi he ʻunivēsí, ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní, ʻokú ne poupouʻi ʻa e pōpoaki ʻoku tapua mai ʻi he kotoa ʻo e Tohitapú fakakātoa: ko e fakatonuhiaʻi ʻo e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová fakafou ʻi he Hako naʻe talaʻofá. (Senesi 3:15) Naʻe fakaʻaiʻai ʻa e toko 48 ʻo e kau maʻu tohi fakamoʻoni akó ke nau hangē ko Paula mo Tīmoté pea ke nau maʻu ʻa e lavameʻa ʻi he tuʻunga ko e kau misinalé, ʻo pikimaʻu ki he ‘sīpinga ʻo e ngaahi foʻi lea leleí.’—2 Timote 1:13, NW.
Ko e “Houngaʻia ʻi Ho Monū, ko ha Meʻaʻofa mei he ʻOtuá” ʻa e kaveinga ʻo e malanga fakamuimui ʻo e fakahokohoko ʻo e ngaahi malanga kamatá. Ko Wallace Liverance, ko e failēsisita ia ʻo e Akoʻanga Kiliatí, naʻá ne tokoniʻi ʻa e kau maʻu tohi fakamoʻoni akó ke nau mahinoʻi ko e ngaahi monū ʻo e ngāué ko e ngaahi fakahāhā ia ʻo e ʻofa maʻataʻatā ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻikai ko ha meʻa naʻe ʻi ai ʻenau totonu ki ai pe ngāueʻi ʻo maʻu. ʻI hono ʻomai ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá, naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe Tokoua Liverance: “Ko e fili ʻe Sihova ʻa Paula ke hoko ko ʻene ʻapositolo ki he ngaahi puleʻangá naʻe ʻikai ke fakapapauʻi ia ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi ngāue, koeʻuhi ke hā nai ai naʻe ngāueʻi ʻe Paula ʻo ne maʻu ʻa e totonu ki he vāhenga-ngāue ko iá, pe naʻe taau pē ia ke ne maʻu. Naʻe ʻikai ke fakatuʻunga ia ʻi ha ngāue fuoloa pe taukei. Mei ha vakai fakaetangata ki aí, ʻe hā nai ia ko Panepasa naʻe mei tonu hono filí. Naʻe ʻikai ke fakatuʻunga ia ʻi ha malava fakafoʻituitui; ʻoku hā mahino naʻe pōtoʻi lea ange ʻa ʻApolosi ia ʻia Paula. Ko ha fakahāhā ia ʻo e ʻofa maʻataʻatā ʻa e ʻOtuá.” (Efeso 3:7, 8) Naʻe fakalototoʻaʻi ʻe Tokoua Liverance ʻa e kau maʻu tohi fakamoʻoni akó ke nau fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e meʻaʻofa kiate kinautolú, pe monū ʻo e ngāué, ke tokoni ia ki he niʻihi kehé ke nau hoko ai ko e ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻo e ʻOtuá pea ko e kau maʻu ʻo e “meaʻofa ʻa e ʻOtua ko e moʻui taʻengata, tuʻu ʻia Kalaisi Sisu ko hotau ʻEiki.”—Loma 6:23.
ʻI he hoko mai hení, ko Mark Noumair, ko ha toe faiako Kiliati ʻe taha, naʻá ne fakahoko ha lāulea longomoʻui fakataha mo ha kau ako ʻi he kaveinga “ʻOku Taki Atu ʻa e Teuteú ki he Ngaahi Ola Lelei.” (Palovepi 21:5) Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe he ngaahi meʻa naʻe hokosiá ko e taimi ko ia ʻoku fai ai ʻe ha tokotaha faifekau ha teuteu lelei ki he ngāue fakafaifekaú, tautefito ki hono teuteuʻi hono lotó, te ne maʻu ai ʻa e mahuʻingaʻia moʻoni ʻi he kakaí. ʻE ʻikai ʻaupito te ne veiveiua fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ke leaʻakí.

Naʻá ne ʻeke ha fehuʻi, “Ko e hā ʻoku fekauʻaki mo e hiva foʻou ko ʻení?” Naʻá ne tali leva: “ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he potutohí ko ha hiva foʻou ʻoku hivaʻi koeʻuhi ko e ngaahi fakalakalaka foʻou ʻi hono ngāueʻi ʻo e tuʻunga-hau ʻo Sihová.” Naʻá ne enginaki ki he kau akó ke nau hokohoko ʻi he fakakau atu honau ngaahi leʻó ki hono hivaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakahīkihiki ʻo e Puleʻanga ikuna ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he toʻukupu ʻo e Tuʻi Faka-Mīsaiá, ʻa Kalaisi Sīsū.
