Ko e Hā Kuo Pau ke u Fai ke Fakamoʻui Au? — Lotu Fakalotofale‘ia mo e Lotu
A DEVOTIONAL AND A PRAYER · MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT IN THE NEW LIFE
Ko e Hā Kuo Pau Ke U Fai Ke Fakamoʻui Au — ʻa e Tuʻunga
TALATEU
The Foundation study answered the great question, what must I do to be saved? This devotional is for the person who has obeyed that answer. Salvation (being saved by God from sin and from death) does not end on the day you are baptized. It begins on that day. This devotional walks with you through one whole day of the new life, morning, noon, and night (Psalm 55:17).

2.Tangilāulau 3:22Vahevahe↗Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻaloʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻoku ʻikai te tau ʻauha, koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke ngata ʻene manavaʻofa. (23) ʻOku foʻou ia ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē, ʻoku lahi hoʻo angatonu.
koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke ngata ʻene manavaʻofa --> ʻOku foʻou ia ʻi he pongipongi kotoa pē + ʻoku lahi hoʻo angatonu.
3.1 Pita 2:2Vahevahe↗Pea mou holi lahi, ʻo hangē ko e fānau toki fāʻeleʻi, ki he huʻahuhu taʻekākā ʻoe folofola, koeʻuhi ke mou tupu ai:

(My personal thoughts — this morning, remember that you woke up as a person God has saved, and his compassions are new again this morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Jesus rose up before daylight to pray, so speak to God before you speak to anyone else (Mark 1:35). Then feed on the word of God the way a newborn baby feeds on milk.)
NOON — PEA ʻI HE HOʻATĀ TE U LOTU AI
4.Saame 55:17Vahevahe↗ʻI he efiafi, mo e pongipongi, mo e hoʻatā, te u lotu, mo tangi leʻo lahi: pea te ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo.
ʻI he efiafi, mo e pongipongi, mo e hoʻatā, te u lotu --> pea te ne ongoʻi hoku leʻo.
5.Kau ʻAposetolo 10:9Vahevahe↗¶ Pea pongipongi ai, ʻi heʻenau fononga atu, ʻo ofi ki he kolo, kuo ʻalu hake ʻa Pita ki he tuʻa fale ke lotu, ʻi hono ono nai ʻoe feituʻulaʻā:

CONTINUING DAILY WITH ONE ACCORD --> DID EAT THEIR MEAT WITH GLADNESS AND SINGLENESS OF HEART.
(My personal thoughts — at midday, stop for a short time, because Peter prayed on an ordinary roof at an ordinary hour of an ordinary day (Acts 10:9). The first believers continued daily, not one day of the week (Acts 2:46). Say the morning verse again in your heart, pray a short prayer, and then go back to your work.)
PŌ — FAKALAULAULOTO ʻI HE AHO MO HE PŌ
7.Saame 63:6Vahevahe↗ʻI heʻeku manatu kiate koe ʻi hoku mohenga, ʻo fakalaulauloto kiate koe ʻi he ngaahi lakanga leʻo ʻi he poʻuli.
I WILL BOTH LAY ME DOWN IN PEACE, AND SLEEP --> THOU, LORD, ONLY MAKEST ME DWELL IN SAFETY.
(My personal thoughts — tonight, examine yourself with honest eyes, whether you are still in the faith, and confess any sin to God before you sleep (2 Corinthians 13:5). Jesus is called the vine, which means the living plant that gives life to every branch joined to it, and a branch at night does no work but only stays joined (John 15:4). So stay joined to Jesus, and then lie down in peace, and sleep (Psalm 4:8).)
KO E FOLOFOLA KE FUFUU 'I LOTO
Saame 119:11Vahevahe↗Kuo u fufū hoʻo folofola ʻi hoku loto, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku angahala kiate koe.
Kuo u fufū hoʻo folofola ʻi hoku loto --> koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻaku angahala kiate koe.
FAKAKAUKAU FAKAʻOSI
Teutalonome 6:6Vahevahe↗Pea ko e ngaahi lea ni, ʻaia ʻoku ou fekau kiate koe he ʻaho ni, ʻe ʻi ho loto ia: (7) Pea te ke faʻa ako ʻaki ia ki hoʻo fānau, pea te ke talanoa ʻaki ia ʻoka ke ka nofo ʻi ho fale, pea ʻoka ke ka ʻalu ʻi he hala, pea ʻoka ke ka tokoto hifo, pea ʻoka ke ka tuʻu hake.
THESE WORDS SHALL BE IN THINE HEART --> WHEN THOU LIEST DOWN, AND WHEN THOU RISEST UP.
Morning, noon, and night are not three separate duties. They are one whole walk with God through one day. Salvation begins in the truth. It continues in the truth, one ordinary day at a time. Let the word of God rise with you in the morning. Let it steady you at noon. Let it lie down with you at night. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
APLIKASI ʻO E ʻAHO NI
1. This morning, before you eat, read the morning verses out loud one time. Then thank God for one new mercy. A mercy is a kindness from God that you did not earn (Lamentations 3:23).
2. At noon, stop your work for two minutes. Say a short prayer right where you are, the way Peter prayed at the sixth hour (Acts 10:9).
3. Tonight, before you sleep, examine your day. If you find sin, confess that sin to God before you sleep (2 Corinthians 13:5).
4. Tonight, say the memory verse out loud until you can say it with your eyes closed (Psalm 119:11).
KO E LOTU
My Father in heaven, I thank you for saving me. I did not earn salvation. You gave salvation to me through Jesus Christ your Son. Hear my voice in the morning. In the morning I will direct my prayer to you, and I will look up. Your compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. Make me hungry for the pure milk of your word, so that I may grow. At noon I will pray, and you will hear my voice. Help me continue daily, with gladness and singleness of heart. At night I will remember you on my bed. Help me examine myself, whether I am still in the faith. If I find sin, help me confess that sin and turn from that sin. Help me stay joined to Jesus, the true vine, because apart from Jesus I can do nothing. I hide your word in my heart, so that I will not sin against you. Keep me from growing lukewarm. Keep my love for you burning, morning, noon, and night. Help me endure to the end, so that I may be saved. You have given me a living hope. You keep me by your power, through faith, to salvation. So I will lay myself down in peace and sleep. You alone, LORD, make me live in safety. Amen.

1 Pita 1:3Vahevahe↗Fakafetaʻi ki he ʻOtua ko e Tamai ʻa hotau ʻEiki ko Sisu Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo ne fakatupu foʻou ʻakitautolu, ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene ʻaloʻofa lahi, ki he ʻamanaki moʻui ʻi he toetuʻu ʻa Sisu Kalaisi mei he pekia, (4) Ki ha tofiʻa taʻefaʻaʻauha, pea taʻeʻuli, ʻo taʻefaʻamae, ʻoku tauhiʻi ʻi he langi maʻatautolu, (5) ʻAkitautolu ʻoku leʻohi ʻe he mālohi ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi he tui ki he fakamoʻui kuo teu ke fakahā ʻi he kuonga ki mui.
BEGOTTEN US AGAIN UNTO A LIVELY HOPE --> AN INHERITANCE RESERVED IN HEAVEN FOR YOU --> KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH FAITH UNTO SALVATION.
(My personal thoughts — God began your salvation, and he keeps it by his own power. So walk with God every morning, every noon, and every night. Your hope is reserved in heaven, and it does not fade away.)
