Tu‘apulelulu ‘Okatopa 19, 2017

Ke fakahoifua kiate koe ‘a e lea 'a hoku ngutu

Let the words of my mouth be acceptable unto Thee

Fehu‘i #12

Ko e hā ‘a e me‘a ‘oku ‘eke ‘e he fika hiva mo e hongofulu ‘o e Fekau ‘e Hongofulu?

(What does God require in the ninth and tenth commandments?)

Hiva, ke ‘oua na‘a tau loi pe kākā, ka tau lea‘aki ‘a e mo‘oní  ‘i he ‘ofa. Hongofulú, ke tau topono, ‘o ‘oua te tau meheka pe manumanu ki ha me‘a ‘oku ma‘u ‘e ha taha kehe pe ta‘efiemalie ‘i he me‘a ‘oku tau ma‘ú.

(Ninth, that we do not lie or deceive, but speak the truth in love. Tenth, that we are content, not envying anyone or resenting what God has given them or us)

Semisi 2:28 (Liliu ‘a Uesi)

Ko eni, kapau te mou fakamoʻoni ki he fono fakaʻeikí, ʻo fakatatau ki he tohí, “Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe,” ʻoku mou fai lelei ai: 

‘Io, kapau mo‘oni ko ho‘omou tauhi ke haohaoa ‘a e lao fakatu‘i na, ‘o fai ki he potu tohi ko ia, Te ke ‘ofa ki ho kaungā‘api ‘o hangē ko ho‘o ‘ofa kiate koe, tā ‘oku mālō ho‘omou ngāue:

(Liliu ‘a Molitoni)

James 2:8

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well

Lotu

‘Eiki ‘o e mo‘oni kotoa pe, tokoni‘i kimautolu ke mau fakaha atu ho‘o lelei ‘i he lea mo e ngaue.   ‘Oku ke tokaima‘ananga ‘a e me‘a kotoa.  ‘Oku ‘ikai ha me‘a ‘e fufu ‘i ho‘o fofonga mai.  ‘Oku ke foaki koloa lelei pea ‘oku ‘ikai ha lelei te ke ta‘ofi mei ho‘o fanau.  Fakatauange ke e‘a ‘a ho‘o mo‘oni ‘i homau loungutu pea ke toka ‘a ho‘o fiefia mo e topono ‘i homau loto.  ‘Emeni.

Prayer

Lord of All Truth, help us to reflect your goodness in word and deed. You know all things. Nothing is hidden from you. You give good gifts and withhold no good thing from your children. May your truth be on our lips and contentment be in our hearts. Amen.
