Naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻi he Tohi Tapú “[kuo] tuʻu ʻa e fonua ki he fonua” pea kuo ʻi ai mo e ngaahi fakatamaki ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e “fakaʻosiʻosi ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu lolotongá.” (Mātiu 24:3, 7) Kuo tau sio ki hono fakahoko ʻa e ngaahi lea fakaekikite ko ení lolotonga ʻa e taʻu fakangāue 2023.a Ka ʻi he lolotonga ia ʻa e hoko ʻa e taú mo e fakatamaki fakanatulá ʻi he ngaahi fonua ofi ki he 100, kuo tapua atu ʻe he Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová ʻa e ʻofa ʻa Sihová.

Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakapapauʻi ʻe he fanga tokouá ʻoku ngāueʻaki fakapotopoto ʻa e ngaahi paʻanga tokoní? Ko e founga ʻe taha ko hono sivisiviʻi fakalelei ʻa e fale taki taha ke fakapapauʻi pē ʻoku fiemaʻu ke fakaleleiʻi. Kapau ʻoku fiemaʻu ke toe langa ha fale, ʻe langa ia ʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa e tisaini faingofua ʻoku anga-maheni ʻi he feituʻu ko iá.

Naʻe houngaʻia ʻaupito hotau fanga tokoua mo e fanga tuofāfine naʻe fai ki ai ʻa e tokoní. Naʻe pehē ʻe ha tuofefine ʻe taha: “Naʻe māveuveu ʻemau moʻuí ko e meʻa ʻi he tāfeá koeʻuhi ko e kotoa ʻemau fāmá naʻe taʻeʻaonga pea mole mo homau ʻapí. Naʻa mau ongoʻi fiemālie ʻi he ʻaʻahi mai ʻa e fanga tokouá mo e fanga tuofāfiné ʻi he ʻaho pē ko iá ke tokoniʻi kimautolu pea tokonaki ha nofoʻanga malu. Naʻa mau toe maʻu ʻa e tokoni lahi ʻi hono ʻomai ʻa e meʻakai mei he ʻōfisi vaʻá. Naʻa mau ofoofo ʻi heʻemau hokosia tonu ʻa e lea ʻi he Sione 13:34, 35 ʻi heʻemau moʻuí. . . .

Naʻe fakatokangaʻi ʻe he niʻihi kehe ʻo e koló ʻa ʻetau ngāue tokoní. Naʻe pehē ʻe ha pule fakavahe ʻi Sabagreia, ʻi he Siteiti Bayelsa: “ʻOku lahi ʻa e ngaahi kautaha mo e ngaahi siasi ʻi he māmaní, ka ko e Kau Fakamoʻoni ʻa Sihová pē ʻoku nau fai ha meʻa hangē ko ení. . . . Ko [hoʻomou] kautahá ʻa e lelei taha ʻi he māmaní.”

“ʻOku Mau Sio Tonu ki he ʻOfa ʻa Sihová”

Naʻe ʻohovale ha fāmili ʻe taha ʻi he mole ʻa e meʻa kotoa naʻa nau maʻú, ʻo kau ai honau ʻapí mo e pisinisí. Naʻe ʻikai ha toe maʻuʻanga paʻanga ʻa e fāmilí. Lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi ʻaho siʻi mei ai, naʻe loto-mamahi ʻa e fāmilí ʻi heʻenau sio ki he tuʻuʻanga naʻe tuʻu ai honau fale ki muʻá. Ka ʻi heʻenau sio ki hono toe langa honau falé, naʻe kamata ke nau ongoʻi lelei ange. ʻI he sio ki he ʻofa lahi mo e tokanga ʻa e kau ngāue polé naʻá ne tokoniʻi kinautolu ke fekuki mo e palopalemá. Naʻe ueʻi ai heni ʻa e fāmilí ke nau kau fakataha mo e kau ngāue polé pea tokoni ki hono toe langa ha ʻapi ʻo ha tokoua ʻe taha.

Naʻe maongo ki he tokolahi ʻa hotau fanga tokouá mo e fanga tuofāfiné ʻa e ngāue tokoní. Naʻe pehē ʻe ha tokoua ʻe taha: “Ko e fokotuʻutuʻu ʻa Sihova ʻokú ne ʻomai fakafou ʻi he Kōmiti Tokoni Fakatamakí ʻoku fakaofo moʻoni. ʻI he hili atu pē ha ʻaho mei he fakatamakí, naʻa nau ʻosi ʻi ai tonu ke tokonaki ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu tefitó. ʻOku fakalototoʻa ʻa hono lau ʻa e ngaahi talanoa fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi tokoni fakatamakí ʻi he tafaʻaki kehekehe ʻo e māmaní.

Te ke fakamahuʻingaʻi lahi ange ai ʻa e kautahá; ʻa e founga ʻo e faʻifaʻitaki ʻa e fanga tokouá ki he ʻulungaanga ʻo Sihová; mo e founga ʻenau tokanga ki heʻetau ngaahi fiemaʻu fakamatelié, fakalaumālié mo fakaeongó. ʻOku mau sio tonu ai ki he ʻofa ʻa Sihová ʻoku fakahaaʻi ia ʻi he ngāué.”

ʻI he ofi ke ngata ʻa e fokotuʻutuʻu ko ení, ʻe hokohoko atu ʻetau sio ki he fakautuutu ange ʻa e ngaahi fakatamakí. (Luke 21:10, 11) Neongo iá, ko hotau Tuʻi ʻofá ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻokú ne ngāueʻaki ʻa e fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané ke fakahaaʻi mai ʻokú ne ʻiate kitautolu, ʻi he “ʻaho kotoa pē ʻo aʻu ki he fakaʻosiʻosi ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu lolotongá.” (Mātiu 28:20) Ko hoʻomou ngaahi tokoni loto-fiefoaki ki he ngāue ʻi māmani lahí, ʻo fakafou ʻi he donate.jw.org mo e ngaahi founga kehé, fakataha mo hoʻomou foaki atu homou taimí mo e iví, ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai homou poupou ki he Puleʻangá mo hono Tuʻi ʻofá.
