Stir it up Lord... Stir it up...

Haggai 1:4, 7-9, 14 NKJV

“ Is  it  time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to  lie in ruins?” Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Consider your ways! Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the Lord . “ You looked for much, but indeed it  came  to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the Lord of hosts. “Because of My house that is  in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house. So the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the Lord of hosts, their God,

† Shalom †......! Day #25. Do you know that it is so much crucial for us to build the House of God? Let us pray. Father, strir up the spirit in us as You did to Zerubbabel. Stir up that we may begin to build Your house on You as the firm foundation and on prayers being the pillars and walls. Stir it up Lord, stir it up. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, many are wanting to build a grandiose church building, the lightings, the ambience of the church,  every little things they look into, but the spiritual house remains in ruins.  You can have a mega church with seventy thousand seatings, yet spiritually there's no guarantee that the House of God is strong, filled with power. We are looking at the outward appearance of a building and judging by its outward but inwardly what's happening no one knows. Only God knows the state of its ruins. For example a bungalow house may seems to be looking good on the outside,  well gardened, beautiful landscape, well maintained and so on, but what happens in the inside of the house no one know. Whether there's misunderstanding in the family, rebellion,  abusing there's no jpy and happiness... The family lies in brokenness. Likewise our spiritual house.

Friends, we are the church of God, not the physical building. You are the children of God, born not of flesh but of Spirit of God. Therefore the Spirit of God abides in you, make home in you. You are the temple of God, the Prayer House of God the Power House of God. A prayerless church is a powerless church. Therefore for our physical body to be fit, we do exercises likewise for our spirit to be fit, we must do spiritual exercise! Feed your Spirit with the word of God and be diligent in prayer. Pray without ceasing. We are built on Christ our firm foundation, and prayers are the pillars and walls. You must build the temple of God in Word and in Prayer! I'm saying this because we are living in a crucial time now and God is looking for His church that spends more time in prayer rather sitting in front of television, Facebook and so on! Prayer and word is vital part of our spiritual life. When you do the spiritual thing, you will witness God doing the supernatural thing. Church begin to pray.  What's a church if it isn't a Prayer House, a Power House? We need to pray prayers as if when we just say  "In the name of Jesus...." oh yes by just saying "in the name of Jesus..." the devil flees.. Sickness,  cancer, all heal...! Church the time is limited and it's getting serious... We need to get back to the days of the Acts of the Apostles! We need to be practical in preaching the message of the Cross and not just throwing all the PhD awarded theologies to the congregation.

A church must be built on Christ as the firm foundation and prayers as the walls and pillars... God bless you....

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
