PEOPLE WITH A WILLING SPIRIT – HAGGAI 1:1 - 15
PEOPLE WITH A WILLING SPIRIT – HAGGAI 1:1 - 15
Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him; and the people feared the presence of the LORD. (v.12 NKJV)
Blessed is anyone that the LORD can release HIS words to for correction, for rebuke, for comfort and for direction. I strongly pray that you are one of the blessed of the LORD this time and always. May GOD’S word be highly honoured and practiced in your life. May GOD restore to you hope and joy in Jesus name.
When the LORD was ready to turn the captivity of HIS people, Israel, HE expected that they would go about the business of rebuilding the temple, the people and the broken down walls. Thank GOD for leaders like Joshua, Ezra, Nehemiah, Zechariah and Haggai; and a host of others who were willing to see GOD’S word carried out irrespective of the place and conditions they had found themselves. I trust the LORD had found you to work with this time too. May you be of a willing spirit in Jesus name.
When the people and their fortunes were eventually restored and they were to proceed in rebuilding the temple, it was discovered that they were not too serious with it. They became very selfish and unconcerned. The LORD tried several means to call their attention to this and make them rise up to the task again; HE affected their businesses, touched their income but these people were very insensitive until HIS hard word came through the prophet Haggai. Do you see yourself insensitive to spiritual matters this time? Are you concerned about the unwell or the unpleasant situations of things and people around you (and maybe with yourself)? May be the LORD is trying to get your attention to something in HIS mind and you have not been concentrating. Take a good look into your affairs so far. How is it? What about your spiritual life and those of the people with you? What is happening in your Church and fellowship this time?
When the people repented and became willing to work with GOD, HE responded thus; "I am with you, says the LORD."
May GOD’S presence continue to be with you in Jesus name.
