6 You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes. ~ Haggai 1:6
Today, the Church prays but rarely sees an answer. We’re stricken with disease, cancer, and all else the world has. There is no longer a differentiation between the world and the Church. Why? Because we no longer act differently than the world. We have our bags full of holes because we try to make the Word of God fit the world’s standards instead of trying to make the world fit the Word of God’s standards.
God told Haggai that they weren’t getting all they asked for because they lost sight of Heavenly things. They were so busy building their homes and their lives that they forgot about the Temple of God. We today are the Temple of God. God dwells in us, yet we act as if He doesn’t exist. We pray and go to Church, even read our Bibles, but we never change. We don’t believe in judging between good and evil. We don’t believe in correcting sin because it’s not love. We, the Temple of God, are in Spiritual shambles, but we don’t believe in rebuilding it because we don’t want to change.
If we want to be accepted, we have to do what’s right. If we want to do what’s right, we have to know what’s right. The only way to do that is to read the Bible unbiasedly with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. To spend time in worship and prayer in order to build our relationship with the Holy Spirit so that we can better learn His voice and discern the Truth. We have to change in order to see a change. We have to build up the Temple of God regardless of how hard, impossible, or painful it may seem because if we don’t, our lives will never change for the better, and we’ll continue to be rejected just as Cain was.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Rebuild The Temple.
