Ka Momi Waiwai Nui

Momi Waiwai Nui na Michael D. O'Brien

Ua like ke aupuni o ka lani me ka waiwai i kanu ʻia i ke kula. i loaʻa i kahi kanaka a hūnā hou, a no ka hauʻoli hele aku a kūʻai aku i kāna mea a pau a kūʻai i kēlā māla. Ua like ke aupuni o ka lani me ke kālepa e ʻimi nei i nā momi maikaʻi. Ke loaʻa ʻo ia i kahi momi makamae loa, hele ʻo ia a kūʻai aku i kāna mea a pau loa a kūʻai. (Mat 13: 44-46)

IN kaʻu mau palapala ʻekolu i hala, ua kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka maluhia i ka ʻeha a me ka hauʻoli i ke kiʻi nui a me ka loaʻa ʻana o ke aloha ke kūpono ʻole mākou. Akā hiki iaʻu ke hōʻuluʻulu iā ia āpau i kēia: ua loaʻa ke aupuni o ke Akua i ka makemake o ke Akua. ʻO ia ka manaʻo o ke Akua, kāna ʻōlelo, e wehe ai no ka poʻe manaʻoʻiʻo i nā hoʻomaikaʻi ʻuhane mai ka Lani mai, me ka maluhia, ka hauʻoli, a me ke aloha. ʻO ka makemake o ke Akua ka momi waiwai nui. Hoʻomaopopo i kēia, ʻimi i kēia, loaʻa kēia, a loaʻa iā ʻoe nā mea āpau.

KE KII MA KA PAHAKI

I ka nane a Kristo, he mea ʻole ka māla a hiki i ka wā e loaʻa ai ka waiwai, i ʻōlelo ʻia kahi momi. Pēlā pū kekahi, he palaoa wale nō ka palaoa a hiki i kona hina ʻana i ka honua a make, a laila hoʻohua. Ke waiho nei ke Keʻa i kahi hōʻino a me kahi pōʻino a hiki i ke Alahou ʻana a laila lilo ia i kumu o ka moana o nā lokomaikaʻi. I mai la o Iesu,

ʻO kaʻu meaʻai ka hana i ka makemake o ka mea nāna au i hoʻouna mai ... (Ioane 4:34)

Noho ka mea ʻai iā mākou a hiki i ka wā e ʻai ʻia ai, a laila lilo ia i ikehu a me ke ola no ka mea nāna e ʻai.

I kēlā me kēia hoʻohālikelike, like ka makemake o ke Akua he kī i loko o ka pahu makana. Kēlā me kēia manawa, hāʻawi ke Akua iā mākou i kēia makana. Akā, e akahele! I kekahi manawa ua wahī ʻia ka pahu i ka ʻeha; i nā manawa ʻē aʻe, wahī ʻia i nā kūʻē; a i nā manawa ʻē aʻe ua wahī ʻia i loko o nā hōʻoluʻolu. Eia nō naʻe ke hiki mai ka makemake o ke Akua iā ʻoe, i loko ona he kī nui e wehe i ka lokomaikaʻi i kou ola. E like me kāu e loaʻa ai kahi makana mai kekahi a haʻalele iā ia ʻaʻole wehe ʻia, pēlā nō mākou me ka makemake o ke Akua. Hiki mai ka ʻeha i manaʻo ʻole ʻia ma luna o mākou. Holo paha mākou mai ia mea; e hōʻino paha mākou iā ia, e hōʻole loa paha mākou iā ia. A no laila, ke kī e wehe i nā lokomaikaʻi o ka Lani e paʻa mau ʻia, hūnā ʻia mai ko mākou naʻau. Akā i ka wā e wehe ai mākou i kēlā makana, ʻoiai i wahī ʻia i loko o ka maka weliweli o ka ʻeha, ko mākou hilinaʻi, kūpono, a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa e wehe i ka puka i ka waihona o nā lokomaikaʻi o ka Lani. A laila, lilo ka makemake o ke Akua i momi nāna e hoʻolilo i ka nāhelehele nāhelehele i māla waina, ka palaoa o ka palaoa e hali hoʻokahi haneli pā, ke keʻa e hāʻawi i ka mana o ke Alahou. A ʻo ka mea ʻawaʻawa i ke alelo e lilo i mea ʻono i loko o ka ʻōpū, e kinai ana i ka make wai ʻana a e māʻona ai ka pōloli o kekahi.

E ʻimi ʻimi mua

I mai la o Iesu,

E ʻimi mua i ke aupuni o ke Akua a me kāna pono, a e hāʻawi ʻia kēia mau mea āpau iā ʻoe ʻē aʻe ... (Mat 6:33)

Ma kahi nane ʻē aʻe, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Iesū, ʻo ke aupuni a mākou e ʻimi nei, ua hiki mai iā mākou ma kāna ʻōlelo, ʻo ia hoʻi, kona makemake hemolele

E hoʻolohe i ka nane o ka mea lūlū. ʻO ka hua i lūlū ʻia ma ke ala, ʻo ia ka mea i lohe i ka ʻōlelo o ke Aupuni me ka maopopo ʻole iā ia, a hele mai ka ʻino a ʻaihue.
ka mea i lūlū ʻia i loko o kona puʻuwai. ʻO ka hua i lūlū ʻia ma ka ʻāina pōhaku
ʻo ia ka mea i lohe i ka ʻōlelo a loaʻa koke me ka ʻoliʻoli. Akā ʻaʻohe ona aʻa a mau wale no kekahi manawa. Ke hiki mai kekahi pilikia a hoʻomaʻau paha ma muli o ka ʻōlelo,
hāʻule koke ʻo ia. ʻO ka hua i lūlū ʻia i waena o nā kākalaioa, ʻo ia ka mea i lohe i ka ʻōlelo, akā, ʻo ka pīhoihoi o ka honua a me ka ʻumeʻume ʻana o ka waiwai ka mea i maʻū ai ka hua a hua ʻole ia.
Akā ʻo ka hua i lūlū ʻia ma ka lepo momona, ʻo ia ka mea i lohe i ka ʻōlelo a hoʻomaopopo hoʻi i ka hua, a hua mai i ka hua, a hua maila i hoʻokahi haneli a i ʻole kanaono a i kanakolu paha. (Mat 13: 18-23)
