Haggai 2:10-12
In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
That which is holy is not transferable.
Each of us must have it for ourselves.
One church, or one Christian that is on Fire for God won’t make the whole church fired up!
We all need our own portion of that fire of the Holy Ghost burning within!
Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
You can’t give God your second best and expect him to bless it. God wants all of you, all of the time! Anything less is not enough!
Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.

What are we doing when we try to offer that which is unclean and not holy before the Lord?
When every work of our hands is tainted by the sin of selfishness, pride, arrogance and irreverence, how can God accept it?
God refuses to bless disobedience.

ACTION STEP: God plants the seed of revival in us, but if we allow it to remain inside and we don’t press in to bring forth fruit, that seed will die! Press on, pray and work, let that seed multiply and God will bless! GROW UP-An Acorn is good for nothing unless it is planted, watered and allowed to go through a period of darkness and obscurity. We have got to become what God called the seed in us to become!
