Get to Work!

Greetings! Haggai 2: 4-5 “‘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”. (Message Bible) We praise God for the wonderful prophetic conference that convened at our church over the weekend. Through His prophets, God said some wonderful things to us as individuals and as a church as a whole. And having experienced this, we can only imagine how encouraged the nation of Judah was when Haggai prophesied to the people the words “I am with you!” from the Lord. Unfortunately, God had to add another word of instruction from His prophet. And we would do well to follow this instruction as well. These three simple words will determine how quickly God’s promises will occur. And what are they? GET TO WORK! The word get means: go after it, realize, have it done, reap, come into possession, don’t quit, don’t lose, don’t give up, grasp (what God is saying). So let’s grasp within our hearts what the Lord has prophesied to us and get to work! Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. Thomas A. Edison Hard work always pay off; mere talk (prophecy) puts on bread on the table. Proverbs 14:234...

Inspired

Greetings! Haggai 1: 12 Then…the faithful few who returned from Babylon obeyed the Lord their God. They also obeyed the words of the prophet Haggai because the Lord their God had sent him… 13 Then Haggai, the messenger of the Lord… said to the people, “I am with you, declares the Lord.” 14 The Lord inspired them to rebuild his house. (God’s Word Translation) We all need inspiration from time to time. The word inspire is derived from the Latin word “in” meaning “into” and “spiro” which means: to breathe, to blow, to exhale, and to be favorable. There are numerous occasions in the Scriptures where we see God inspiring by breathing into man. In Genesis 2:7, God breathes into man and he becomes a living being. Alive. Jesus breathes into His disciples and they receive the life giving power of the Holy Spirit (John 20:22). However, one of the more intriguing Scriptures is found in Ezekiel chapter 37. Here we find God’s solution to bringing life to dead circumstances is for Ezekiel, whose name in Hebrew means: The One who God will Strengthen, to prophesy. He is to ask the wind (Holy Spirit) to breathe so that the army of God can arise and accomplish God’s purposes in the earth. The Bible teaches us that there are three houses in which God desires to live: Our church (Exodus 25:8), our homes (Joshua 24:15), and our physical bodies (1 Corinthians 3:16). Tonight begins our Prophetic Conference. May God use His prophets this weekend to inspire us to build all three of His...
