Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe ʻEletā Sefilī R. Hōlani ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻo e konifelenisi lahí ʻo pehē:

“Ko e konifelenisi lahi ʻa e Siasí ko ha fanongonongo ia ki māmani kotoa ko Sīsū ʻa e Kalaisí, naʻá Ne hā mo ʻEne Tamaí, ko e ʻOtua mo e Tamai kiate kitautolu kotoá, ki he palōfita kei tamasiʻi ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻi hono fakahoko e talaʻofa fakakuongamuʻa ko ia ʻe fakafoki mai ʻe Sīsū ʻo Nāsaleti kuo toetuʻú ʻa Hono Siasí ki he māmaní. … [ʻOku fakahā ʻe he ngaahi konifelenisí ni] ki he puleʻanga, faʻahinga, lea, mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻa e talaʻofa fakamīsaia ko ia ʻoku ʻtolonga ʻo taʻengata ʻa ʻene ʻaloʻofá’ [Saame 136:1; 1 Fakamatala Me‘a Hokohoko 16:34]” (Jeffrey R. Holland, “Prophets in the Land Again,” Ensign pe Liahona, Nōvema 2006, 106).

ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he konifelenisi lahí ha faingamālie ki he kāingalotu ʻo e Siasí ke fanongo mo ako meiate kinautolu ʻoku tau poupouʻi ko e kau palōfita, kau tangata kikite, mo e kau maʻu fakahaá. Tokoni ke mahino ki hoʻo kau akó e mahuʻinga ʻo e teuteu ki he konifelenisi lahí mo hono moʻui ʻaki e ngaahi lea ʻa e kau palōfita moʻuí. ʻIkai ngata aí, tokoni ke mahino kiate kinautolu e fie maʻu ke ako maʻu pē e makasini Ensign pe Liahona ʻo e konifelenisí. ‘E tupulaki e loto-holi ʻa e kau akó ke fakaʻaongaʻi e ngaahi lea ʻa e kau palōfita ʻo onopōní ʻi heʻenau moʻuí, ʻi heʻenau fakatokangaʻi e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻoku maʻu mei he muimui ki he ngaahi fakatokanga mo e faleʻi fakaepalōfitá.

‘Oku ʻomi ʻe he konifelenisi lahí ha ngaahi faingamālie ki he fakafoʻou fakalaumālié.
‘Oku tau tukupā ke talangofua mo hikinimaʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku tau poupouʻi ʻi he konifelenisi lahí.
ʻOku kaunga ʻetau teuteú ki he meʻa ʻoku tau maʻu mei he konifelenisi lahí.
ʻE lelei ange ʻetau moʻuí ʻi hono fakaʻaongaʻi e ngaahi akonaki ʻo e konifelenisi lahí.

Ngaahi Fokotuʻu ki hono Akoʻí

‘Oku ʻOmi ʻe he Konifelenisi Lahí ha Ngaahi Faingamālie ki he Fakafoʻou Fakalaumālié

Kimuʻa he taimi kalasí, hiki he palakipoé e “Ngaahi Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Tefitoʻi Moʻoni” ʻe fā ʻoku hiki atu ʻi ʻolungá. Fehuʻi ange:

Ko e hā e ngaahi lea ʻi he ngaahi fakamatalá ni ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi mai hotau fatongiá?
Ko e hā ʻoku maʻu ai ʻe ha niʻihi fakafoʻituitui ha ivi fakalaumālie lahi ange mei he ngaahi fakataha ʻo e konifelenisi lahí ʻi ha niʻihi kehé?

Tohi he palakipoé: Ko e taimi konifelenisí ko ha taimi ʻo e …

ʻEke ki he kau akó pe te nau fakakakato fēfē ʻa e kupuʻi lea ko ʻení. Hiki ʻenau talí he palakipoé. Fakaafeʻi ha tokotaha ako ke ne lau e lea naʻe fai ʻe Palesiteni Hauati W. Hanitā (1907–1995) ʻi he konga 6.2 ʻo e Tohi Lēsoni ʻa e Tokotaha Akó ki he Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palōfita Moʻuí. Kole ki he kau akó ke nau fakafanongo ki he founga naʻe fakakakato ʻaki ʻe Palesiteni Hanitā e kupuʻi lea ko ia kuo tohi he palakipoé. Ka hili iá pea fehuʻi ange:

Ko e hā ha ngaahi founga kuó ke aʻusia ai ʻa hono fakahoko e fakamatala ʻa Palesiteni Hanitaá?

ʻAi e kau akó ke nau fekumi ʻi he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 43:8–9, 124:144 pea tali ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ʻení:

Ko e hā ha niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi taumuʻa ʻo e konifelenisi lahí?
Ko e hā e ʻuhinga ʻo e foʻi lea [fakamaama]?

Vahevahe ‘a e fakaʻuhinga ko ʻeni ʻo e ʻuhinga ke fakamāmá, naʻe fai ʻe ʻEletā Lōpeti L. Pekimeni ‘o e Kau Fitungofulú:

“ʻOku ʻuhinga e fakamāmá ke langaki hake, ke fakatupulaki e tuí, ke fakaleleiʻi e moʻui fakamatelie ʻa ha taha. ‘I hoʻo fakakaukau ki aí, ko e founga ʻeni kuo langa ʻaki ʻe he ʻEikí hono puleʻangá. Fakakaukau pē ki hono ʻuhinga kiate kitautolu ke maʻu e ongo fakatokoua ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi heʻetau ngaahi fakatahá. ʻKo ia, ke ke faivelenga; tuʻu ʻi he lakanga kuó u fili koe ki aí; tokoniʻi ʻa e vaivaí, hiki hake ʻa e ngaahi nima ʻoku tautau ki laló, pea fakamālohi ʻa e ngaahi tui ʻoku vaivaí.’ (T&F 81:5.)” (Robert L. Backman, ʻi he “Giving Spiritual Nourishment to the Less Active: A Panel Discussion,” Ensign, Apr. 1987, 16).

Hili iá pea fehuʻi ange leva:

Ko e hā ha ngaahi founga kuo hoko ai e konifelenisi lahí ko ha aʻusia “fakamaama” kiate koe?

Fakamo‘oni ange kapau te tau tokanga mo maʻu e tōʻonga fakakaukau totonu ki he konifelenisi lahí, te ne ʻomi ha fakafoʻou fakalaumālie mo tokoniʻi kitautolu ke tau lelei ange mo hoko ange ʻo hangē ko e Fakamoʻuí.

Lau e fakamatala ko ʻeni naʻe vahevahe ʻe ʻEletā Sefilī R. Hōlani ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá:

“ʻOku ʻi ai ha fehuʻi ʻa Palesiteni Poiti K. Peeka … ʻokú ne faʻa fai ʻi he taimi kuo mau fai ai ha fakamatala pe feakoʻiʻaki ʻi he Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá. ʻOkú ne sio hake ʻo hangē ʻokú ne pehē, ʻKuo ʻosi hoʻo fakamatalá?’ Peá ne pehē leva ki he tokotaha leá …, ʻKo ia ai, pea hā leva?’
