Bible Reading :Haggai 2:1-4 NIV. Key Verse : v4.
On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the Word of God came through the prophet Haggai: “Tell Governor Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and High Priest Joshua son of Jehozadak and all the people: ‘Is there anyone here who saw the Temple the way it used to be, all glorious? And what do you see now? Not much, right? ” ‘So get to work, Zerubbabel!’—God is speaking.” ‘Get to work, Joshua son of Jehozadak—high priest!'” ‘Get to work, all you people!’—God is speaking.” ‘Yes, get to work! For I am with you.’ The God-of-the-Angel-Armies is speaking.
The people of God returned to Jerusalem from the land of exile and faced their personal businesses leaving the temple of God in ruins. God had to raise Prophet Hagai to wake them from their state of negligence and slumber to do the work of God. Because of their lack of discernment, they suffered because the Lord wasn’t happy with their ways.”You have spent a lot of money,but you haven’t much to show for it.You keep filling your plates,but you never get filled up.You keep drinking and drinking and drinking,but you’re always thirsty.You put on layer after layer of clothes,but you can’t get warm.And the people who work for you,what are they getting out of it?Not much—a leaky, rusted-out bucket, that’s what. That’s why God-of-the-Angel-Armies said:”Take a good, hard look at your life.Think it over.” Then God said:”Here’s what I want you to do:Climb into the hills and cut some timber.Bring it down and rebuild the Temple.Do it just for me. Honor me. Haggai 1:6-8
We need to understand here that the primary temple we are building today is ourselves, so that we can be fit to build his kingdom on earth. Today many believers cannot pass spiritual fitness test should it be conducted because they take the things of the kingdom including their personal spiritual lives for granted, yet they are praying for higher blessings of God. They think God will always understand. They can work diligently to improve their career, business or financial life, while their spiritual life (relationship with God) suffers severe negligence. The resultant effect is that such people can’t get the best of God. “These people honor me only with their words, for their hearts are so very distant from me. They pretend to worship me, but their worship is nothing more than the empty traditions of men.” Matthew 15:8-9 TPT.
Today the Spirit is asking us to have a second look at our relationship with our creator and find out those areas we have lived in negligence and make ammends. We must consciously pay attention to things that will build capacity in our inner man. This is because there are dimensions of blessing coming upon the last days church that we can’t carry except we are men of the Spirit and deep ones too. “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty. ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” Hagai 2:6-9.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because power belongs to you. Today, I repent in any way I have neglected my relationship with you which includes my prayer life, study of the word, etc. As I work to do the right things, build in me the right capacity to carry great blessings of God that will build your kingdom in my days in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
