HAGGAI 1:4-7:
(4) Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
(5) Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways,
(6) 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.
(7) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT:
Brethren in Christ, Prophet Haggai warns us to take care of maintaining the house of God first; for if we neglect his house: the LORD will not prosper us.
Case in point, some Christians, are like lost sheep: we have gone astray from doing the will of God; we furnish our houses with expensive possessions, but careless about the surroundings of our churches; and we sometimes wonder why things are not going well with us: when we talk about church maintenance, we view it as the work of Church administrators or Parochial Committees; and do not dedicate anything to the house of God, once we pay our tithes and offerings.
Brethren, the Lord is still seeking dedicated workers for his use in all churches; if we do not have time to serve him, we can donate to his will; or give our time to help maintain his sanctuary: if we do so, we will receive blessing that never run out or blown away by the enemy. Remember, there is joy in giving than receiving.
Brethren, let us consider our ways in serving the Lord, he will bless us and not forsake us: In Jesus Mighty Name! Amen and Amen!
