ʼE LAHI te ʼu gaue ʼe tonu ke tou fakahoko kae kua ovi mai te fakaʼosi. (Mat. 24:14; Luka 10:2; 1 Pet. 5:2) ʼE tou fia gaue kia Sehova ʼo lahi age ʼi ʼatatou ʼu fealagia. Tokolahi ia natou ʼe natou fia fakalahi age tanatou minisitelio. Ko ʼihi ʼe natou fia liliu ʼo pionie. Ko ʼihi atu ʼe natou fia gaue ʼi te Petele peʼe ki te gaue laga fale. Pea tokolahi te ʼu tehina ʼe natou fia liliu ʼo faifekau fakaminisitelio peʼe tagata ʼafea. (1 Tim. 3:1, 8) ʼE mahino ia, ʼe fiafia ia Sehova ʼi tana sio ʼe fia tauhi age tana hahai.—Pes. 110:3; Esa. 6:8.

Kia au ʼi te temi nei ko te ʼu gaue ʼaia kua hage pe ko he moemisi. ʼI ʼIhi temi, ʼe au logoʼi te lotovaivai.”
3. Kotea ʼe tonu ke tou fai ke tou ma’u niʼihi gaue?
3 Ko ʼihi tupulaga ʼe ʼaoga anai ke natou gaueʼi niʼihi kalitate ʼi mu’a ʼo te foaki age niʼihi atu gaue. ʼE feala ke natou ʼatamai, toʼo tonu lelei pea mo aga fakakaumea, kae ʼi te

Ne’e ina ui fenei: “Ne’e au logoʼi, ʼe ʼi ai te me’a ʼe mole lelei ia au.” Kae ne’e mole tu’u ai tana ʼu faiga ʼi te kokelekasio mo te faifakamafola. ʼI te temi nei, kua kau ʼi te Komite ’o Te Filiale.4. Kotea ka tou vakaʼi anai ʼi te alatike ʼaeni?

(Pes. 37:5-7) Kotou kole ki he ʼu tehina kua faiva he ʼu tokoni ke lelei age takotou gaue ki te ʼAtua, pea mo faigaʼi ke kotou ma’uliʼi te ʼu tokoni ʼaia, ʼe fua lelei anai kia koutou. Ohage pe ko Melissa ne’e tou palalau ki ai ʼi mu’a atu, ʼe tou fia fai he ʼu gaue kia Sehova kae mole feala ke tou fai ʼi te temi nei.

Ko te ʼu kaugana ʼe lua neʼe nā fakaʼaoga lelei te ʼu taleta ʼae neʼe foaki age. Kae ko te tolu kaugana, neʼe mole ina fakaʼaogaʼi lelei te falā ʼae neʼe tuku age, ʼo tupu ai tona fakamavae e tona pule.
8. He koʼe neʼe feala ke fiafia te ʼuluaki kaugana ʼo te lea fakatata?
8 Ko te ʼuluaki kaugana neʼe ina logoʼi tona fiafia ʼi te foaki age e tona pule taleta ʼe nima. Neʼe ko he falā lahi, ʼo ha mai te falala ʼo te pule kia ia. Kae neʼe feafeaʼi te lua kaugana? ʼUhi ʼae, neʼe mole tatau te ʼu taleta ʼae neʼe foaki age ki ai, neʼe feala pe ke lotovaivai. Kotea ʼae neʼe ina logoʼi?
9. Kotea ʼae neʼe mole ui e Sesu ki te lua tagata kaugana? (Mateo 25:22, 23)
9 Lau ia Mateo 25:22, 23. Neʼe mole ui e Sesu ko te lua kaugana neʼe ita peʼe lotomamahi ʼuhi ʼae neʼe foaki age pe taleta ʼe lua. Pea neʼe mole ui e Sesu neʼe meo ʼo ina ui: ‘Ko te gata pe koa ʼaia ʼo te ʼu taleta neʼe foaki mai? Kapau ʼe manatu taku pule mole ko au he tagata faʼa gaue, ʼe lelei age pe taku tanu tana foʼi falā kae gaue pe au maʼaku kae mole maʼa ia.’
10. Neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi feafeaʼi e te lua kaugana tana ʼu taleta?

11. ʼE feafeaʼi hatatou fakatuputupu totatou fiafia?
11 ʼE toe feia pe, ʼe feala ke tuputupu totatou fiafia mo kapau ʼe tou fakahoko lelei te ʼu gaue ʼae neʼe tuku mai ke tou fai. Ohage la, “tokaga tafito” ki te gaue faifakamafola pea mo gaue fakamalotoloto ʼi te kokelekasio. (Gaue 18:5; Hep. 10:24, 25) Teuteu lelei te ʼu fono ke kotou foaki he ʼu tali fakalotomalohi. Fakahoko lelei te ʼu kiʼi akonaki peʼe faipalalau ʼae ʼe tuku atu ke ke fai ʼi te ʼu fono ʼo te vahaʼa. Kapau ʼe kole atu he tahi gaue ʼi te kokelekasio, kotou agatonu ki ai. ʼAua naʼa kotou me’a noaʼi ʼo ui ko he puli temi te ʼu gaue ʼae neʼe foaki atu. (Taag. 22:29) Ka lahi age takotou manako ki takotou ʼu gaue fakalaumalie, ʼe kotou tuputupu ai mo toe lahi ai tokotou fiafia. (Kal. 6:4) ʼE faigafua anai takotou fakafiafia fakatahi mo he ʼu tehina neʼe foaki age he gaue neʼe kotou fakaʼamu ki ai.—Loma 12:15; Kal. 5:26.

Neʼe au toe fai taku kole ki te gaue ʼi te Petele pea neʼe tali ʼi te ta’u ʼae neʼe hoa mai.”
13. Kotea anai ʼe hoko mo kapau ʼe kotou mama’ua ʼi te gaue ʼae ʼe kotou fakahoko nei? (Ekelesiasi 2:24)
