He ‘oku nofo ‘ae tohi ke tamate ka ‘oku nofo ‘ae Laumalie ke fakamo’ui” (2 Kolinito 3:6).
2.  Koe lea Penitekosi ‘oku ‘uhinga pe ia ko hono nimangofulu ia ‘oe ‘aho ("Pentecoste," or "fiftieth day."). Koe katoanga ni foki na’e ‘iloa koe katoanga ‘oe “Penitekosi”" Feast of Pentecost" (Teutalonome 16:9-12; Levitiko 23:9-14). Ko hono katoanga’i ia ‘ae utu ta’u moe fua ‘oe kelekele pea koe Tohi Lute na’e lau lolotonga ‘ae ‘aho katoanga ni. ‘Oku fa’a ‘iloa ‘ae katoanga ni koe katoanga “lau uike” ‘a ia koe uike ia ‘e 7 pe koe ‘aho fakakatoa ia ‘e 49 hili ‘ae katoanga Tapu levani pea ko hono ‘aho hoko leva ‘a ia koe nimangofulu ia ‘oe ‘aho (50) koe Penitekosi Fakafuakava motu’a ia.

3. Koe Penitekosi fakafuakava fo’ou ‘oku tau fakamanatu ia ‘i he ‘aho hono nimangofulu (50th ) hili ‘ae Toetu’u ‘ae ‘Eiki pea koe ‘aho tatau ai pe ia na’e hifo ai ‘ae Laumalie Ma’oni’oni ko hotau Taukapo moe fetongi ‘o Kalaisi. Ki he ‘Isileli koe hili ‘ae ‘aho ‘e 50 mei he Fakatau’ataina mei he popula pea hifo ‘ae fekau na’e hiki tohi ‘e 10 ka ki he kauako koe hili ‘eni ‘ae ‘aho hono 50 ‘o ‘ene Toetu’u mei he pekia ko hotau veteange mei he popula ki he angahala kuo hifo mai ‘ae Laumalie Ma’oni’oni. Ko ha “Lao fo’ou pea ‘oku ‘ikai ke hiki tohi” ia hangee ko ia ‘oku lea ki ai ‘e tau veesi malanga… “Pea fa’ofale kinautolu katokatoa ‘ae Laumalie Ma’oni’oni pea nau hanga ‘o lea ‘i he ngaahi lea kehe ‘o fakatatau ki he fakalea’i kinautolu ‘e he Laumalie”
4. Koe kakato ‘eni ‘oe ‘aho ‘e 10 mei he “ha’ele hake” (Ngaue 1:3) pea mo ‘enau nofo ‘o tatali ki he me’a ‘ofa koe hifo mai ‘ae Laumalie Ma’oni’oni. ‘Oku ‘ikai foki ko ha sola ‘ae kauako ia ki he ma’u ‘oe Laumalie Ma’oni’oni lolotonga ‘enau feohi mo Sisu he ta’u ‘e 3 malo ‘ene ngaue (Luke 10:1-20). Koe lau honau toko lahi koe toko 120 (Ngaue 1:15). Koe loki na’a nau tefua matamata koe loki tatau pe ia na’e fai ki ai ‘enau ‘ohomohe faka’osi (Ngaue 1:13). Ko ‘enau ngaue na’e fai koe “lotu” pe mo tatali ai. Ka ‘oku makehe ‘ae hoko mai ko ia ‘ae Laumalie he ‘aho ‘oe Penitekosi he ‘oku hoko mai ia koe fetongi ‘oe Sisu na’a nau maheni mo ia (Sione 14:15-18). 
5. ‘I he taimi na’a nau kei kau fakataha ai mo Sisu ‘i Kaleli he’ikai toe ‘i Siutea ia pe ko Nasaleti he’ikai toe ‘i ha potuange ia. Ka koe hoko mai ko ‘eni ‘a hono fetongi (“lahiange /comforter.”)…ke “’ihe feitu’u kotoa pe…ki he kakai kotoa pe…’i he taimi kotoa pe.” ‘Oku ma’u faingamalie tatau leva ai ‘ae mamani ke ‘inasi he ngaahi tala’ofa kotoa pe moe fakalotolahi kotoa pe ke ma’u ‘ae pule’anga ‘oe ‘Otua. Ki he kauako ko ‘enau ma’u ‘eni ‘ae “Kovinanite fo’ou” ‘aki hono “ta’ata’a” (Sione 20:19-23; Ngaue 1:4-5). “Ko ‘eni ia na’e folofola’aki ‘e he palofita ko Sioeli “’Oku me’a mai ‘ae ‘Otua pea ‘e hoko ‘o pehee ‘i he kuonga  fakamui, te u lilinga ha me’a mei hoku Laumalie ki he kakano kotoa pe, pea ‘e toki fai palofisai ‘a homou ngaahi foha mo homou ngaahi ‘ofefine….” (Sioeli 2:28-29; Ngaue 2:16-18). Koe hifo ko ‘eni ‘ae Laumalie Ma’oni’oni ko hano fakakakato ia ‘ae Palofisai ‘ae Palofita ko Sioeli. Ka ‘oku tau lolotonga fononga’ia he vaa’i taimi ‘oe tatali ki hono fakakakato ‘ae ngaahi palofisai ki he ‘aho ‘oe ‘Eiki.

Talamai na’e “…mumuhu hangee ha fu’u tu’oni matangi ne to mai pea na’e fa’ofale ‘i he loki na’a nau nofo ai…” Koe matangi ko ‘eni koe taipe foki ia ‘oe Laumalie Ma’oni’oni ‘oku ‘ikai fai ha “sio” ki ai ka koe “’ongo’i” pe he taimi kotoa pe. Koe ongo ko ia na’e hoko fakataha mai ia mo ha “’imisi” hangee ha “’elelo hangee ha afi.” Koeha ‘ae fakakaukau ‘oe ‘imisi ni?

   Pea fa’ofale ‘iate kinautolu katokatoa ‘ae Laumalie Ma’oni’oni…” Koe lea “fa’ofale ‘iate kinautolu katokatoa…” koe fakakaukau ia ‘oe “Papitaiso afi” (Ngaue 1:5; 11:16).

Ko ‘enau lea he ngaahi lea kehe koe fakakaukau ia ‘oe malava noa ‘e he ivi ‘oe Laumalie Ma’oni’oni ke faka‘inasi ha fa’ahinga kakai ‘o tatau ai pe. ‘Oku hanga ‘e he ivi moe mafai ko ia ‘oe ma’u Laumalie Ma’oni’oni ‘o fakavela’i mo fakamafana’i makehe hotau loto pea ‘oku faitu’utu’u ni ‘ae fa’ahinga mafana ko ia ke tau fakahaa mo vekeveke ke fakamatala ki hotau ngaahi kaunga mo’ui ‘aki ‘etau ngaahi to’onga mo’ui ‘ae mo’oni kuo nofo’ia kitautolu ‘e he Laumalie Ma’oni’oni. Koe lao fo’ou ia moe mo’ui fo’ou he koe mo’ui kuo fakaongoongo ki he tataki ‘ae Laumalie. Na’e hoko mai ‘ae afi ke ne “fakama’a” mo “fakalotolahi’i” kinautolu ke ‘oua te nau teteki hono “malanga’i” ‘ae Kosipeli fakamo’ui ‘ae ‘Otua.
