In EnglishConnect, we rely on God to learn by study and by faith.

ʻI he EnglishConnect, ʻoku tau fakafalala ki he ʻOtuá ke fekumi ʻi he ako pea ʻi he tui.

ʻI he 1832, naʻe fakahinohino ai kia Siosefa Sāmita mo ha niʻihi ʻo e kau fuofua taki ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisi ʻo e Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ke nau fokotuʻu ha ʻapiako. Naʻe finangalo ʻa e ʻOtuá ke nau ako, tupulaki, pea mo mateuteu ke tataki ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Naʻe ʻikai maʻu ʻe he kulupu kāingalotu ko ʻení ha mataʻitohi mei he ngaahi ʻunivēsití pe te nau maʻu ha ako lelei. Naʻe ʻikai ke lahi ʻenau paʻangá pe maʻuʻanga tokoní. ʻI he folofolá, naʻe akoʻi ai ʻe he ʻOtuá kiate kinautolu ha sīpinga ʻo e akó:

“Pea koeʻuhí ʻoku ʻikai ke maʻu ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻa e tuí, mou fekumi faivelenga pea feakoʻiʻaki ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e potó; ʻio, mou fekumi mei he ngaahi tohi lelei tahá ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻo e potó; mou fekumi ki he ʻiló, ʻio, ʻi he ako pea ʻi he tui foki” (Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 88:118).

ʻOku akoʻi mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau ʻilo ʻi heʻetau akó, pea ʻoku fiemaʻu foki ke tau ʻilo ʻi he tuí. ʻOku tau fai hotau lelei tahá, pea ʻoku tau kole ki he ʻOtuá ke Ne fekauʻi mai Hono Laumālié ke fakaava hotau ʻatamaí mo hotau lotó ke tau ʻilo. ʻOku foaki mai ʻe he Laumālié kiate kitautolu ha mahino lahi ange ʻi he meʻa ʻoku tau malava ʻiate kitautolu peé. ʻE ala tokoni ke ʻi ai ha faiako lelei pe ko ha tohi lelei, ka ʻe lava ke akoʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá neongo kapau he ʻikai ke tau maʻu e ngaahi meʻa ko iá. ʻI heʻetau ʻilo ʻi he ako pea ʻi he tuí, ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻOtuá ke tau ako ʻo lahi ange ʻi he meʻa ne tau fakakaukau ʻe malavá.
