Haggai 1:5-7
Now therefore thus 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.

Your life might be comfortable right now. And yes you are tired and worn down! But arise in the strength of the Lord and get to work because the House of the Lord still lies unfinished. What’s more important, that you are comfortable, or that you have the temple finished so that the presence of the Lord may dwell in you? God wants us to consider our ways. So many don't know Him yet and we need to consider if what we are doing is necessary and needful? There is a harvest but laborers are few.
We can’t afford to get lazy! We can’t allow ourselves to become distracted and cease the work of prayer, of praise, of fasting and of reaching out to a lost world for Jesus!
Until we act in obedience to the Holy Ghost, there can be no spiritual awakening! The Fear of the Lord must return to the midst of the church.

ACTION STEP: Take some time to search your heart and answer a few questions:Haggai 1:8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
Here’s what the Lord would - “You are satisfied with your own house but what about the house of God?
• You work and labor, but what does it all really accomplish if you don’t have that revival of God’s presence in your heart?
• You plan, you build, you sell, you buy, and you enjoy your freedom in life, but what about the condition of your heart before God?
• Is God pleased with the labor of your hands, or is he calling you to draw closer to him?
• Are you satisfied, or more importantly, is God satisfied with us right where we are?
• Is God not calling us deeper still into his Love?
• Is he not calling, beckoning us to step out deeper into the water and walk by faith to do a mighty work for him?
• Do we not sense the Holy Ghost wanting to move in us to allow the Gifts of the Spirit and the Fruits of the Spirit to be manifest in the church through us?
• Does not God desire to bring miracles, signs and wonders into the church so that we can become a great spiritual powerhouse to preach the gospel and bring souls to the Cross of Christ?
I encourage you to build God's house.
