E masani ona manatu faatauvaa i le mana o le tatalo. I le gasologa o tausaga, ua le amanaiaina le tatalo i olaga o le toatele o Kerisiano. Aua afai e le o lava se mea e fiafia ma faigata, ae le fiafia ma le ausia o sini moomia, ua tuulafoaiina ma tulei ese. Ae o le ā ua fai mai ai le Tusi Paia e uiga i le mana o le tatalo?
E le manaia le tatalo?
O le tatalo e masani ona manatu e le manaia, e pei lava o le faitau ma le suesueina o le Tusi Paia (Le Afioga a le Atua). O le tatalo e momoe ai tagata. O le taimi lava e taumafai ai tagata e tatalo, ua fesēa'i o latou mafaufau ma ua pulea e manatu eseese e uiga i o latou olaga i aso faisoo ma ua aveese ai o latou mafaufau mai le Atua.
E toʻatele Kerisiano ua lē mafai ona uaʻi atu ma faigatā ona faaalu se taimi i le tatalo.
Mavae 5 minute, sa latou talanoaina a latou mataupu ma le Tama ma alu i la latou lisi o mea e moomoo i ai ma ua le iloa se mea e toe fai atu ai. Latou te momoe ma gauai atu i le vaivai ma le manao o o latou tino. Ona e le mafai e le tino ma e le tatalo. That’s because prayer doesn’t feed the flesh, but the spirit. That’s why many Christians postpone their prayers or don’t pray at all.
The commandment to pray
E i ai Faifeau, who say that you don’t have to set time apart and make time for prayer because you talk with God the whole day. But by preaching this message, Christians become passive and lukewarm toward prayer and don’t see the need and power of prayer.
Oi ioe, you are continuously connected with Jesus and the Father through the Holy Spirit, and you communicate with Them. Jesus was also continuously in communion with the Father. Ae peitai… Jesus withdrew Himself to spend time alone with the Father in prayer, because Jesus knew the power of prayer.
If Jesus withdrew Himself to be alone with the Father in prayer, e le sili ea ona tatou mulimuli ia Iesu’ faataitaiga ma aveese foi i tatou lava e faaalu se taimi ma le Tama i le tatalo? E le gata i lena, I le Mataio 6:6-8, Na tuuina mai foi e Iesu ia i tatou le poloaiga e tatalo.
Aisea ua manatu faatauvaa ai i le taua ma le mana o le tatalo?
O le taua ma le mana o le tatalo e masani ona manatu faatauvaa, aua e le o faifeau uma ma taitai ekalesia toe fanauina ma le faaleagaga, Ae o le vanimonimo.
Ona e faaletino latou te le iloa ai le taua ma le mana o le tatalo. O le mea lea latou te le tautala ai e uiga i le tatalo ma latou le faamamafaina le taua ma le mana o le tatalo.
Ona o le mea moni, e le o faamamafaina e le toatele o taitai o le ekalesia le taua ma le mana o le tatalo ae tuu atu, e le o manatu foi le au faatuatua i le taua ma le mana o le tatalo ma ia faapena foi.
Ae o le faavae o le faatuatua, e ese mai le iloa o le Upu, tatalo. E oo mai mea uma ma fa'ata'amilo i le tatalo!
Afai e te iloa le Upu, e mafai ona e tatalo i le Upu ma tatalo i le finagalo o le Atua. Afai e te tatalo e tusa ai ma le finagalo o le Atua ona faamalosia lea e le Atua Ana afioga.
O suiga uma e amata i le tatalo. O lea la, ua oo i le taimi e iloa ai e Kerisiano le taua, taua, ma le mana o le tatalo ma ala mai ma laa atu i le taua faaleagaga ma tau mo le Malo o le Atua. O lena la, E faia Lona finagalo i le lalolagi e pei ona i ai i le Lagi ma o le a oo mai Lona Malo i lenei lalolagi.
O a ni taunuuga o se olaga tatalo le lelei ma le faaletonu?
O taunuuga o se olaga tatalo le lelei e vaaia i olaga o tagata. Le faanoanoa uma, mativa, ma vevesi i le lalolagi i aso nei, o le faateleina o le amioleaga, le faaleatua, ma o le liliuese e mo se vaega tele ona o le mativa ma le faaletonu o le olaga tatalo o Kerisiano (o ai le ekalesia).
Le taufaasese a le tiapolo i totonu o le ekalesia
I le gasologa o tausaga ua pa'u ai le polo a le ekalesia. Ua manumalo le tiapolo i le faaseseina o le ekalesia ma ua mafua ai ona tuua e le au talitonu le ala o le amiotonu ae ulu atu i le ala faaletino o le lalolagi..
Na faapogaia e le tiapolo i latou e taulai atu ia i latou lava; o tu’inanau ma tu’inanau o latou tino, manuia faaletino, ma mataupu faalelalolagi.
E tele Kerisiano e faaalu le tele o le taimi i le (le tumau) o mea a lenei lalolagi nai lo o mea o le Malo o le Atua.
O sauniga tatalo e le lauiloa tele i tagata talitonu ma e le toso mai ai le tele o tagata talitonu.
Leai, e fiafia tagata e usu pese, manuia, ma ia manuia.
O le mafuaaga lena i le tele o lotu ua suia sauniga tatalo i sauniga tapuai ma viiga.
E fiafia tagata i musika, pesega, ma vivii atu i le Alii ona e faafiafiaina ai i latou.
O le toʻatele o taʻitaʻi lotu o loo faamamafaina le tāua o le viiga ma le tapuaʻiga ma uunaʻia ai Kerisiano e talitonu e iai le mana i le usuina o pese., lea o le tele o pese e faatatau i le (faigata) soifua, fa'alavelave, ma faanoanoaga o e faatuatua, ma o lea ua avea ai le au faatuatua ma totonugalemu o pese.
Ae o se pepelo foi lea a le tiapolo, e talitonu le toatele o taitai o le ekalesia ma le au Kerisiano.
E sili atu ona taua ma mamana le pese nai lo le tatalo?
E le sili atu ona taua ma mamana le pese nai lo le tatalo. E ui o le toʻatele e talitonu e moni. O se mau o le Tusi Paia e masani ona taʻua, o le faamamafaina o le taua ma le mana o pesepesega o le vaega lea na saisai ai Paulo ma Sila i le falepuipui ma usu pese i le Alii..
A o latou usuina pese i le Alii, ‘ua o‘o mai le mafui‘e tele ‘ona pa‘u‘ū ai lea o filifili, ‘ua matala fo‘i faitoto‘a ma ‘ua latou sosola. Ae peitai, latou te le faitau ma faamamafa le vaega muamua, i le mea e fai mai ai:
Ma i le tulua o po, na tatalo ai Paulo ma Sila, ma fai pesega i le Atua: ‘ona fa‘alogo ai lea o pagota ‘iā te i latou (Galuega 16:25)
E le o faamamafaina pe talanoaina le vaega sa latou tatalo ai.
E le o se taufaamata'u i le malo o le tiapolo le au pese pese. O le mafuaaga lena e leai se mea e fefe ai le tiapolo mo Kerisiano pepese.
Ua na o le ataata ma ata ma mafaufau le tiapolo, “Ia latou pepese ma faapotopoto faatasi, mafutaga, ma fiafia i latou lava.”
E le o se mea e ofo ai, o viiga ma tapuaiga faatasiga ma konaseti e le oo i se tetee faaleagaga ma e le osofaia faaleagaga i le auala o loo osofaia ai faaleagaga sauniga tatalo..
E aogā tele le tatalo faatauanau a le tagata amiotonu
Leai, e fefe le tiapolo i Kerisiano, o e talitonu moni ma iloa le Upu ma ta'uta'u atu le Upu. Ma o le mea e sili ona fefe i ai le tiapolo o Kerisiano tatalo, o e tatalo i le Agaga. Kerisiano agaga, o e tatalo i la le tino, e le o manatu o se taufaamatau. E mafua ona o Kerisiano faaletino e taulai atu ia i latou lava ma o latou siosiomaga ma i le fausiaina o lo latou malo.
E fefe le tiapolo tatalo Kerisiano, o e o nonofo ia Keriso ma tatalo mai ia te Ia (le Upu) pe a mavae le Agaga. O i latou o se lamatiaga i lona malo. O lea la, e faia e le tiapolo taumafaiga e tafiesea ma faafilemu i latou.
E faapefea ona aveesea ma faafilemu e le tiapolo i latou? E ala i mea faalavefau ma le pisi ma taulai atu i mataupu faalelalolagi ina ia le maua ai se taimi e tatalo ai..
O le taimi lava e filifili ai tagata e tatalo, e lafo e le tiapolo mea faalavefau ma mea faalavefau i lo latou ala, pei o se faataitaiga, se telefoni e tatagi, se feau tusitusia, se logo faitotoa, o se tagata o le aiga e fesili pe manaʻomia se mea, ma isi. O le a faia e le tiapolo soo se mea e faalavelave ma faalavelave ma taofia ai se tagata talitonu tatalo.
E galue le tiapolo i isi i le agaga ma o le mafuaaga lena o le a lafo ai e le tiapolo mafaufauga faaletino eseese i mafaufau o tagata talitonu., lea e mautinoa ai latou te tolopoina pe faaleaogaina a latou taimi tatalo.
Pe a amata ona tatalo se tagata talitonu, e lafo e le tiapolo mafaufauga i le mafaufau o le tagata, lea o le a faaseseina ai le tagata, ina ia faigata ai i le tagata ona taulai atu i le tatalo.
I le taimi o tatalo, o le a taumafai le tiapolo e aumai le tagata mai le agaga i le tino, e ala i le ulufale atu i mafaufauga faaletino i le mafaufau o le tagata talitonu o loo taulai atu i mataupu faaletino ma le manuia o le tagata lava ia..
O le a tuuina mai e le tiapolo faaaliga ma folafolaga sese, e taula'i uma i le manuia o le tagata. Ioe, o le a faia e le tiapolo le mea sili na te mafaia e taulai atu ai le tagata talitonu i lona lava malo ina ia tuua ai e le tagata faatuatua lona malo na o ia., ma e mafai ona faaauau pea le tiapolo, e aunoa ma le faalavelaveina o le tagata tatalo ma faalautele lona malo.
Pe a oo i se tagata ia mea, ona i ai lea o le malosi o le tiapolo i le olaga o le tagata ma pulea pea le tagata.
O lea, o lea, taimi e ala ai. Ina ia mataala faaleagaga Kerisiano ma vaai i mea o loo faia e le tiapolo i lenei lalolagi.
Ua lata i le taimi, ina ia toaaga mai atalii ma afafine o le Atua ma faatasi ma le Atua, Iesu, ma faatuina e le Agaga Paia le Malo o le Atua i lenei lalolagi ma tau faasaga i le agasala ma le oti, ma faaumatia galuega a le pouliuli.
Na faapefea ona faatoilaloina e Iesu le tiapolo?
Pe na faatoilaloina ea e Iesu le tiapolo i le vao e ala i le usuina o pese i le Alii? Ina ua saunia e Iesu o Ia lava e faataunuuina le tele Galuega o le Togiolaina Mo tagata, na usuina e Iesu pese i le faatoaga o Ketesemane? Leai! Na manumalo Iesu ma faatoilaloina le tiapolo i le Upu a le Atua.
I le faatoaga o Ketesemane, Na manumalo Iesu ma faatoilaloina Lona fili; fefe e ala i le tatalo.
‘Ona maliu atu lea o Iesu ma i latou i le mea e ta‘ua o Ketesemane, ma fai atu i le au soo, Nofo ia oe iinei, a o aʻu ou te alu atu e tatalo i inā (Mataio 26:36, Mareko 14:32)
Na faataunuuina e Iesu Lana galuega e ala i le tatalo
Sa faaalu e Iesu se taimi tele ma Lona Tama. E masani ona alu ese o Ia i se nofoaga filemu e faaalu ai na o Ia ma le Tama. O le mafuaaga lena na mafai ai e Iesu ona faataunuuina le galuega a le Atua ma faataunuuina le fuafuaga a le Atua mo Lona soifuaga.
Ma ina ua ia tuuina atu le motu o tagata e o, Na alu aʻe o ia i le mauga na o ia e tatalo ai: ma ina ua oo i le afiafi, He was there alone (Mataio 14:23, Mareko 6:46)
I le taeao, oso aʻe i luga o se mea sili aʻo leʻi oʻo i le aso, He went out, ma alu ese i se nofoaga tuufua, Ma o iina na tatalo (Mareko 1:35)
And He withdrew himself into the wilderness, ma tatalo 'iā' i latou. (Luka 5:16)
It came to pass in those days, Na ia alu i fafo i le mauga e tatalo, na faaauau le po atoa i le po i le tatalo i le Atua (Luka 6:12)
Ma na oo mai e pasi, as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him: and He asked them, fai mai, Whom say the people that I am? (Luka 9:18)
And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, He took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray (Lu 9:28)
Jesus shared everything with His Father, nai lo tagata, because Jesus knew what was in the toeaina (Ioane 2:24). That’s why Jesus didn’t rely upon people and didn’t put His trust in people and commit to them. But Jesus relied on His Father and put His trust in Him, and was committed to Him.
Because of His prayer life, Jesus could endure all the hatred and persecution of men. E oo lava i Ona soo uma, o ē na ta‘ua e Iesu o uō, tuua Iesu, E lei fefe Iesu ma faaauau Lana galuega.
I Lona soifuaga i la le tino, Na tuuina atu e Iesu tatalo ma faatoga ma le tagi tele ma loimata i le na mafaia ona laveai ia te ia mai le oti, na faalogoina foi i lona fefe; E ui lava o ia o se Alo, a ‘ua a‘oa‘oina o ia i le usiusita‘i i mea na puapuagātia ai o ia; Ma ua faaatoatoaina, na avea o ia ma tupuga o le olataga e faavavau ia i latou uma o e usiusitai ia te ia (Eperu 5:7-9)
E ala i le tatalo, Sa mafai e Iesu ona faataunuuina Lana galuega ma faaeaina ma faamamaluina le Tama.
O lenei ua atuatuvale lo'u agaga; ma o le a se mea ou te fai atu ai? Tama, ia e faaola mai ia te au ai lenei itula: a o le mea lea na ou sau ai i lenei itula. Tama, vivii atu i lou suafa. Ona oo mai lea o se siufofoga mai le lagi, fai mai, Ua uma ona ou faamamaluina, ma o le a toe faamamaluina (Ioane 12:27-28)
O le leai o se tatalo e faapogaia ai le liliuese
When Jesus went to Mount Olive to pray, Jesus commanded His disciples, O ai na o le tuai o foafoaga, to pray, so that they would not enter a place of testing where a solicitation to do evil may be the occasion, which would lead to an act of sin.
And when He was at the place, Na ia fai atu ia te i latou, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. (Luka 22:40)
Ia mataala ma tatalo, that ye enter not into temptation: e naunau lava le agaga, a ua vaivai le tino (Mataio 26:41, Mareko 14:38, Luka 22:46)
Ae paga lea, latou flesh couldn’t pray and that’s why they were weak and fell asleep.
Jesus persevered in prayer and through prayer, Jesus overcame the fear in His soul and could stand and fulfill the will of God and His work on this earth. But the disciples couldn’t pray, let alone persevere in prayer.
Ma ona o le mea moni, that they couldn’t persevere in prayer, they became a victim of the devil; the adversary and they were not able to stand. They left Jesus and denied Jesus.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. (Luka 21:36)
And that shall also occur at the end of the last days when the pressure of the world will increase, and many Christians succumb and leave Jesus; le Upu ma faafitia o Ia.
Actually, this already happens. Because when Christians become le usiusitai to the Word and leave the Word, by taking over the viewpoint and opinion of the world and allowing and tolerating sin, Christians already succumbed to the pressure of the world and have left Jesus; le Upu, and denied Him.
O lea la, E taua le ia mataala ma mataala, ma tatalo, so that you will not be tempted and misled by the lies of the devil, ae ia mafai ona iloatino pepelo a le tiapolo ma tumau i le usiusitai ma le faamaoni i le Upu, ma avea ma Ana molimau (Faitau foi: E faapefea ona fasiotia e aoaoga a temoni le ekalesia?).
Le mana o le tatalo
E tatau i Kerisiano uma ona tatalo ma tumau i le tatalo. E tasi lava le taimi e oo mai ai, ma o le mafuaaga lena e taua ai le faʻaaluina o lou taimi. Aua le taulai atu i mea le tumau o lenei lalolagi. Ae ia taulai atu i mea e faavavau o le Malo o le Atua ma faatuina le Malo o le Atua i lenei lalolagi, ma faaali mai ma faaumatia galuega a le pouliuli.
O oe nofo ia Iesu Keriso ma o le mea lea ua tuuina atu ai ia te outou le avanoa ma le lototele e o mai ai i luma o le nofoalii o le Tama ma tatalo tuusao i le Tama..
Aua e te talitonu i se tasi, o ai e fai mai e te le tau tatalo ma o le tatalo e le taua pe le aoga. Aua neʻi faʻatagaina oe e se tasi e talitonu, e le mafai ona e ausia se mea e ala i le tatalo. Aua o pepelo ia a le tiapolo.
Fai mai Iesu, ina ia e alu ese ma tatalo faalilolilo i le Tamā. Ua silafia e Iesu, maeu le taua o le tatalo ma e le mafai ona e mataala ma mataala, ma e le mafai ona tu i le taimi o le inoino ma sauaga o le lalolagi e aunoa ma le tatalo (Faitau foi: O le tatalo faalilolilo olaga o le tagata faatuatua).
Talitonu, e leai se upu, e sau mai le Agaga ma mai lou gutu o le a foi mai fua, ae o le a faia ma faataunuuina le mea e tatau ona ia faia. E taua le tutumau. O nisi taimi e le vave tupu mea, a ia tutumau pea ma finafinau i le tatalo ma aua le fiu! Fai mai le Upu, ina ia tatou tatalo e le aunoa (1 Tesalonia 5:17). A e totoina se fatu i le eleele, e te le maua se laau e fua i le aso e sosoo ai. O lea ia onosai, ma tutumau.
Tatalo mo taitai o le ekalesia ma le atunuu. Tatalo mo ou uso ma tuafafine ia Iesu Keriso. Ma tatalo, ina ia faia le finagalo o le Atua i lenei lalolagi ma o le a oo mai Lona Malo i lenei lalolagi, e pei ona i ai i le Lagi.
‘Ia fai ma masima o le lalolagi’
