Na’e feinga ‘ene kau ako ke fakatatau ki he kau ako ‘a Sione papitaiso ‘o ako’i ange ‘ae lotu.

Koe hokohoko moe fa’unga ‘oe lotu na’e ako’i ‘e Sisu

‘Oku tau ui ia koe “Lotu ‘ae ‘Eiki” ‘Oku ‘ikai koe ‘uhinga ko ‘ene lotu ’aki ka koe lotu ‘eni na’a ne ako ‘aki. ‘Oku hanga ‘e he founga ni ‘o ne ako’i ‘ae pau ke matu’aki fakapapau’i kuopau ke tomu’a ‘i ai ha ivi fekau’aki malohi moe Lauamalie ‘oe feohi moe ‘Otua ‘aee ‘oku ne faka’ataa ai kitautolu ke tau lea “Tamai” ki he’ene ‘Afio (Loma 8:14-17; Kaletia 4:1-7). ‘Oku hoko ‘ae fa’unga lotu ni ke ne ‘ave kitautolu ke tau fakakainga’i ‘etau fiema’u moe Finangalo ‘oe ‘Otua. Koe lotu mo’oni ‘oku oo ma’u pe moe fatongia ke fai: Koe fakalangilangi’i ‘oe pule’anga ‘oe ‘Otua pea mo hono fakahoko ‘oe finangalo ko ia (Luke 11:2). Kapau te tau vaka’i lelei ‘ae kakano ‘oe lotu ni ko hono taumu’a “’oku ‘ikai koe fai hotau loto ‘i hono pule’anga ka koe fakahoko hono finangalo ‘i hono pule’anga ‘i mamani …” ke hoko mai ho’o pule.”

Ko ‘emau Tamai ‘oku ‘i hevani…” koe fehu’i ia kohai leva ia ‘oku ke lotu ki ai. ‘I he’etau ‘ilo ia (Ma’oni’oni) pea ‘oku tau ‘ilo ai pe kohai leva kitautolu ‘oku tai fai atu ‘ae lotu (Angahala). Pea koe hoko atu leva ‘oe lotu ‘oku ‘ilo lelei ai ‘e he angahala ‘a hono tu’unga ‘e fai ke ma’u ai ‘ae tokanga ‘ae ‘Otua koe Ma’oni’oni. ‘Oku ‘ikai foki ke pule’i ‘e he loloa, le’o lahi, kaikaila, lea tonga mamafa mo aoao lea ‘ae me’afua taau ki he lotu na’e ako’aki ko ‘eni ‘e Sisu.

Koe lotu koe hakenga moe hifonga kelesi.

Pea hoko atu ho’o lotu ki he hokohoko ‘oe ngaahi me’a ‘oku ne mahu’inga mai ai ke tau koleange “..Ke hoko ho’o pule” he ko ‘ene taumu’a ia ke hiki fu’u mai ‘ae mo’ui hono pule’anga ke mo’ui atu ‘aki ‘e kitautolu ‘oku kei ‘i mamani.

Pea hoko ai pe ki hono mafai paloveitenisi (providence) “ke foaki mai ha’amau me’akai ki he ‘anai ‘o hokohoko ‘aho pe. Pea ‘oku ‘uhinga ‘ene hokohoko ‘aho pe koe hulu moe lahi ‘ene koloa ke foaki mai. Kapau ko hotau ta’u 90 ‘eni koe ‘aho kotoa ai ‘e 35100 ‘ene foaki hokohoko atu ho’o me’akai. ‘Ikai ngata ka ‘oku tau hoko atu ai ki hotau vaivai’anga lahi taha koe to ngofua he fakatauele ‘ae fili hangee koe ‘uluaki matu’a.

Koeha hono ‘uhinga ‘oku fakafaingata’a’ia’i ‘etau kole? (vs 7-8)

Kainga ‘oku fa’a hanga ‘e he ‘Otua ‘o fakatuai’i mai hano tali ‘etau ngaahi kole ‘i he ngaahi ‘uhinga pehe ni. ‘Oku tuai ia kainga ko ‘ene fiema’u ke tomu’a fakalele’i hotau vaa, tomu’a fai ha ngaue ki he’etau mo’ui ke hoa mo taau moe tapuaki na’a tau kole. Ka ‘oku fiema’u ‘e he ‘Otua ia ke tau tomu’a fou ange he loto moe laumalie na’e ‘i hono ‘Alo ko Sisu Kalaisi he ko ia ‘oku ‘apa’apangofua ai ‘etau ngaahi kole. He’ikai toe fou ha lotu ia ki he ‘Otua ‘i ha toe taha kehe…’i ha toe laumalie kehe (intention) ka “Neongo pe koeha ha me’a te mou kole meiate au ‘i hoku hingoa, teu fai ia” (Sione 14:14). Taimi ‘e taha ‘oku tuai koe’uhi koe hala ke fou ai ‘oku hala (wrong) pea koe’uhii ko ‘ene hala ‘oku ne talamai ai ke tatali. Taimi ‘e taha ko ‘etau fiema’u ‘oku hala (he’e topono ai ‘ae holi kovi hotau kakano) pea koe’uhii ko ‘ene hala ‘oku ne talamai ‘e ‘ikai.

Pea ‘e tonu leva ‘ae hala, pea tonu mo ‘etau ngaahi fiema’u pea ‘ikai ia ko ia pe ka ‘e tonu foki mo ‘etau taimi ki he ‘Otua.

Pea ‘oua na’a ke fakahu kimautolu ki he ‘ahi’ahi”

‘Ikai ngata ka ‘oku tau hoko atu ai ki hotau vaivai’anga lahi taha koe to ngofua he fakatauele ‘ae fili hangee koe ‘uluaki matu’a. Kuo ‘osi ‘afio’i kotoa ia ‘e Sisu he na’a ne ‘osi hoko koe kakano ‘ae faingata’a ke haohaoa ‘etau fakafeangai koe’uhii ko hotau kakano. ‘Oku totonu ke mahino lelei kiate kitautolu ‘oku tau tu’u lavea ngoufa pe malele ngofua ma’u pe ki he angahala (everyone is vulnerable to temptation). Pea ‘ikai lau ta’u ia mo lau lotu fuoloa ka ke tau fekuki pe mo ia ki he ngata’anga ‘etau mo’ui. ‘Oku totonu foki ke mahino kiate kitautolu ko ‘etau hao faka’aho mei ai koe ngaue mai ia ‘ae laumalie ‘oe ‘Otua he’ene me’a’ofa koe Kelesi.

Pea ke fakamolemole ‘emau ngaahi angahala he ko kimautolu foki ‘oku mau fakamolemole ‘a ia fua pe ‘oku mo’ua mai” (v 4). ‘Oku tau lotu ke fakamolemole’i ‘e he ‘Otua ‘etau ngaahi angahala kae lolotonga ko ia ‘oku ‘ikai ke tau loto kitautolu ia ke fakamolemole’i ha kakai ‘oku nau fai mai ha kovi kiate kitautolu. Koe lotu na’e ako’aki ‘e Sisu “….pea fakamolemole homau ngaahi mo’ua hangee kuo mau fakamolemole ‘a kinautolu ne mo’ua kiate kimautolu...” Kainga ‘oku hoko ‘etau ta’e fakamolemole ko hono fakahu atu ia ‘ae ‘ahi’ahi ki he’etau ngaahi mo’ui. ‘Oku ‘ikai ‘omi pe ‘ahi’ahi’i ‘e he ‘Otua ha taha ka ‘oku tau fehangaaki moe ‘ahi’ahi koe tupu pe mei he’etau ta’e tauhi ‘ene ngaahi tu’utu’uni.

Koe hulu hotau mahu’inga ki he ‘Otua

Pea fai ai ‘e Sisu hano toe fakamahino ‘ae mahu’inga’ia ‘ae ‘Otua he tangata lotu. He’ikai koleange ‘e ha foha ha ma ki he’ene tamai pea ne ‘ange ha maka…pe kole ha ika kae ‘oange ‘e he Tamai ia ha ngata…pe ko ha’ane koleange ha fo’i moa pea ‘oange ‘e he tamai ia ha sikopio. Pea toki pehee ‘e Sisu “…Kapau ‘oku mou ‘ilo ke foaki me’a’ofa lelei ki ho’omou fanau neongo koe fa’ahinga kovi kimoutolu: Huanoa ‘ae tamai ‘i he Langi ‘ene foaki ‘ae Laumalie Ma’oni’oni kiate kinautolu ‘oku kole kiate ia.” Kainga koe me’a’ofa fungani taha ‘ae ‘Otua ko e Laumalie Ma’oni’oni pea neongo ‘ene fungani ka ‘oku ne finangalo ke foaki ia kiate kinautolu ‘oku nau fiema’u ia (Ngaue 2:1-4).

Kainga koe lotu ‘oku ‘ikai koe talaange ki he ‘Otua ke ‘omi ‘etau fiema’u pea ke tau ma’u ia ‘o mo’ui siokita’aki mo ta’e’ofa ‘i hotau mamani. Prayer is not telling God what we want and then selfishly enjoying it. Koe lotu koe kole ke ne me’a ngaue’aki kitautolu ke fakakakato (accomplish) hono finangalo he koe kakato hono finangalo ‘i mamani ‘oku langilangi’ia ai hono Huafa Toputapu ‘i Langi.

For non -Tongan speakers
True prayer is based on sonship and not friendship. This is not a parable teaching “persistence in prayer” (although that is an important factor) but the willingness of God to care for His own. If a weary, stubborn neighbour finally helps his friend, how much more will a loving Heavenly Father (who never sleeps) meet the needs of His own children! Yes, we should “keep on asking, seeking, and knocking,” not to break down God’s resistance but to reveal to Him our great concern that His will be done. It has well been said, “The purpose of prayer is not to get man’s will done in heaven but to get God’s will done on earth.” Believers today need not pray for the gift of the Spirit, since the Spirit lives in each of God’s children, but we should pray for the “good things” of the Spirit (Matt 7:11) that we need for building character, guiding conduct, and empowering for service (Eph 1:15-23 and 3:14-21).

Fakama’opo’opo

Kainga ‘oku fakamahu’inga’i heni ‘etau “Lotu fai ma’u pe ‘oua na’a fiu” (Luke 5:16;6:12;11:1-13).
