PASSIONATE PURSUIT...WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING?

​Haggai 1:1-7
 
In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the Lord's house should be built. Then came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste? Now therefore saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways. Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.
 
We are living in the days of the end times like unto the days of Daniel and Revelation. The Lord wants us to have a friendly reminder that even though many have fallen away and gone into captivity there will still be a remnant to do the Lord's will. The adversary has attempted to annihilate the saints of God, but know that the Lord is still on the throne. They have trampled the Gospel and have attempted to have the Lord's house lie waste. However, the Lord stated that the house of the true worshipers will not lie waste and desolate. Much of the glory of the house of God has been lost because of judgment.
The priests were called back to the land of Judah and the Lord cleansed the people. They repented before the Lord and went back into the service of the Most High. They cleansed the land of falsehood and abominations. The false prophets were killed (put away) and the Word was restored. The Lord addressed that there was a separation. The Lord's house was neglected but people went off to their own houses and own land. Because the people did not prioritize the Lord's will, there was a lack due to covetous practices. They received the chastening of the Lord through the prophet Haggai and the high priest and the Lord said, I am with you. Therefore, the people returned to do the work in the house of the Lord. Will you recognize the need to present yourself a living sacrifice and return to the work of faith that you were first established? Do not go backwards and do not give heed to what the adversary is saying no matter how true it sounds. He has been a liar from the beginning. Leave your sins in the sea of forgetfulness where the Lord has said to those who repent, your sins and iniquities I will remember no more. Go forth and bring forth fruit. #UNSHAKEABLE #UNMOVEABLE #ABOUNDING #PRAISEHIM
