NOAH

We learn about Noah from the Paipera Tapu!

The Paipera Tapu is the Word of Ihowā, and Ihowā wants us to obey His Word.

Noah lived in a time when iwi did not obey the Word of Ihowā. They did what they wanted, and they did not care what Ihowā thought about them.

Noah was the one tāne who obeyed Ihowā. He aroha Ihowā, and He did what Ihowā asked him to do.

Ihowā decided he wanted to start over by flooding the ao. Ihowā wanted to save Noah and his whānau, so He asked Noah to build an ark, a giant waka that would save him and his whānau.

Noah had never built an ark before, but he trusted Ihowā and did exactly what Ihowā asked.

Because Noah trusted Ihowā, his whānau was saved.

Ihowā has a plan for you. He wants you to listen to His Word, the Paipera Tapu, and He wants you to trust and obey Him.

Noah’s life teaches us we can trust and obey Ihowā because Ihowā has got a good plan for us.

SIMON SAYS...

Test your ability to obey by playing a game of ‘Simon Says’ with your whānau. See who can stay in the longest. Who is the best at listening and obeying Simon?
