FAITH BRINGS BLESSINGS

‘OKU ‘OMI ‘E TUI ‘A E NGAAHI TAPUAKI

HEBREWS 4:16

Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

HEPELU 4:16

Ko ia, ke tau ‘unu‘unu atu mālohi ai ki he taloni ‘o kelesi, ke tau ma‘u meesi, mo tau ta‘imālie ha kelesi ke tokoni mai.

 

Sola Fide - Faith Alone - Ko e Tui´ pe    

Christian, take good care of thy faith, for recollect faith is the only way whereby thou canst obtain blessings. If we want blessings from God, nothing can fetch them down except faith. Prayer cannot draw down answers from God's throne except it is the earnest prayer of the man who believes. Faith is the ladder on which my soul must walk to ascend to heaven. If I break that ladder, how can I ever approach my God?

Faith is the angelic messenger between the soul and heaven. Let that angel be withdrawn, I can neither send prayer up nor receive the answers down. Faith is the telegraphic wire which links earth and heaven-on which God's blessings move so fast that before we call He answers, and while we are yet speaking He hears us. But if that telegraphic wire of faith be snapped, how can we receive the promise? Am I in trouble? I can obtain help for trouble by faith. Am I beaten about by the enemy? My soul on that dear Refuge leans by faith.

‘E Kalisitiane, tokanga’i lelei ho’o tui, he tui, ‘a e founga ‘oku tau ma’u ai ‘a e ngaahi tapuaki. Kapau ‘oku tau fiema’u ha tapuaki mei he ‘Otua, ‘oku ‘ikai ha toe founga, ka ko e tui pe. ‘Oku ‘ikai lava ‘e he lotu, ke ‘omi ha tali mei he taloni ‘o e ‘Otua, ka ko e lotu malohi pe ‘a e tangata tui. Ko tui, ‘a e tu’unga ‘oku kaka ai ‘a hoku laumalie ki langi. Pea ka maumau ‘a e tu’unga ko ia, te u lava fe fe ai ke fotu ki he ‘Otua?

Ko TUI ko e ‘angelo talafekau ‘a hoku laumalie mo loto hevani. Pea ka puli ‘a e ‘angelo ko eni, ‘e lava fe fe ke ‘ohake ‘eku lotu ki langi pe ‘ohifo kiate au ‘a e tali. Ko TUI ‘a e uaea fetu’utaki ‘oku ne fakahoko ‘a mamani mo langi - pea ‘oku ma’u fakataha ai ‘a e ngaahi tapuaki ‘a e ‘Otua mo vave, he ‘oku te’eki ke ‘ohake ‘etau lotu, kuo ne tali mai lolotonga ‘oku tau kei fai ‘a e lotu. Ka ‘oka motu ‘a e laine, te tau ma’u fe fe ‘a e tali ki he palomesi? Te u to nai ai ki ha faingata’a? Te u ma’u pe ha tokoni ‘i he tui. ‘Oku loki nai au ‘e hoku ngaahi fili? ‘E hoku laumalie, ‘oku ‘i ai ho hufanga, kapau te ke falala kakato pe ‘i ho’o tui.
