Ka uru te whakaaro nui ki roto i o ngakau, he pai hoki te matauranga ki tou wairua?; ma te ngarahu pai koe e tiaki, Ma te maarama koe e tiaki: Hei whakaora ia koe i te ara o te tangata kino, mai i te tangata e korero whakamua ana; E whakarere nei i nga huarahi o te tika, to walk in the way of darkness; E koa ana ki te mahi kino, and delight in the forwardness of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked and they forward in their paths; Hei whakaora ia koe i te wahine ke, ara mai i te manene e whakapati ana i ana kupu; E whakarere nei i te kaiarahi o tona tamarikitanga, and forgets the covenant of her God.
For her house inclined unto death, and her paths unto the dead.Kaore tetahi e haere ki tana hokinga mai, neither take they hold of the paths of life.That thou mayest walk in in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.Ka noho hoki te hunga tika ki te whenua, and the perfect shall remain in it.Ka hatepea atu ia te hunga kino i runga i te whenua, a ka hutia atu i reira te hunga poka ke (Whakatauki 2:10-22)
When our heart is full of the word, we shall have understanding, and we shall have true knowledge.
The knowledge of the world is poison for the mind
The knowledge of the world is poison for your mind. That’s why the Word of God must have the overall authority in your mind.
If you do not walk according to the Word, you walk in darkness. Te iwi, who won’t believe in Jesus and don’t accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, will walk in darkness.
They live without God and they are happy and rejoice, whenever they can do evil (things that diametrically oppose the Word of God). They do evil, because they have an evil sinful nature, which dwells in the flesh. No reira, they do not know any better, they don’t know the Truth.
How wisdom enters into your heart?
As soon as you repent and accept Jesus Christ, hei Kaiwhakaora mo koutou, hei Ariki hoki, and be born again and begin to read, ako, me te whakaaroaro ki tana Kupu, you will find out the Truth. When you meditate on the Word of God, ao, pō, you will not only find out the truth, but wisdom enters into your heart. Ka ki tou ngakau i te whakaaro nui o te Atua.
Ka kitea e koe he aha te he me te tika, he aha te pai me te mea kino. Ka haere koe i runga i ta te Kupu e kii ana he tika, he pai, ka ora koe i runga i te pono, ka haere i runga i te tika, i muri i tana i pai ai, i te marama.
Kaore e taea e nga mahi te whakatapu me te tika. Ko te mahi whakaoranga a Ihu Karaiti me Tona toto anake e pai ai koe me te tika mo te Atua.
Otira ka ripeneta koe, ka whanau hou, ka meinga kia tika i roto i a te Karaiti, ka whai ahua hou koe; Te natura a te Atua.
Mai i tera ahua hou, ka haere koe i runga i te Wairua, ka mahi i nga mahi a te Atua, ka whai i te tika, ka whai hua koe Ko te hua o te Wairua.
A mau i te mau faaueraa a te Atua. Kia ngohengohe me te haere i roto ia ratou. Kaua e wareware ki tana kawenata. Katahi ano ka noho koe i runga i te ara o (mau tonu) ora.
“Hei tote mo te whenua”
