    and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the
    Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name
    of the God of Israel, who was over them,
  • Ezr 52 then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and

  • His name comes from a word (a) which signifies to
    keep a feast and, according to Jerom (b),
    signifies festival or merry according to
    Hillerus (c), the feasts of the Lord and,
    according to Cocceius (d), my feasts and the
    issue of his prophecy answered to his name by
    which the people were encouraged to build the
    temple, whereby the feasts of the Lord were
    restored and observed and a particular feast
    appointed for the dedication of the temple.

Do you ever feel like your forward progress has
stopped?
  • The Jews built their own kingdoms/houses but
    neglected Gods house/kingdom.
  • This message is relevant today!
  • Many churches are neglected!
  • Gods temple is neglected!

10
Is it our temple or Gods?
  • 1Co 619 Or do you not know that your body is a
    temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you
    have from God? You are not your own,
  • 1Co 620 for you were bought with a price. So
    glorify God in your body.

11
We must grow!
  • Phi 312 Not that I have already obtained this
    or am already perfect, but I press on to make it
    my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
  • Phi 313 Brothers, I do not consider that I have
    made it my own. But one thing I do forgetting
    what lies behind and straining forward to what
    lies ahead,
  • Phi 314 I press on toward the goal for the
    prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

12
We must use our gifts!
  • 1Ti 413 Until I come, give attention to the
    public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and
    teaching.
  • 1Ti 414 Do not neglect the spiritual gift
    within you, which was bestowed on you through
    prophetic utterance with the laying on of hands
    by the presbytery.
  • 1Ti 415 Take pains with these things be
    absorbed in them, so that your progress will be
    evident to all.
  • 1Ti 416 Pay close attention to yourself and to
    your teaching persevere in these things, for as
    you do this you will ensure salvation both for
    yourself and for those who hear you.

13
Its all about His Bride!
  • Eph 411 And He gave some as apostles, and some
    as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as
    pastors and teachers,
  • Eph 412 for the equipping of the saints for the
    work of service, to the building up of the body
    of Christ
  • Eph 413 until we all attain to the unity of the
    faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to
    a mature man, to the measure of the stature which
    belongs to the fullness of Christ.
  • Eph 414 As a result, we are no longer to be
    children, tossed here and there by waves and
    carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the
    trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful
    scheming
  • Eph 415 but speaking the truth in love, we are
    to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the
    head, even Christ,
  • Eph 416 from whom the whole body, being fitted
    and held together by what every joint supplies,
    according to the proper working of each
    individual part, causes the growth of the body
    for the building up of itself in love.

14
For God temple (us) and His Church (His Bride)!
  • (1Co 1412) So with yourselves, since you are
    eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to
    excel in building up the church.
  • (1Co 1426) What then, brothers? When you come
    together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a
    revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let
    all things be done for building up.

15
  • (2Co 1310) For this reason I write these things
    while I am away from you, that when I come I may
    not have to be severe in my use of the authority
    that the Lord has given me for building up and
    not for tearing down.
  • (Eph 412) to equip the saints for the work of
    ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
  • (Eph 429) Let no corrupting talk come out of
    your mouths, but only such as is good for
    building up, as fits the occasion, that it may
    give grace to those who hear.

16
  • 1Pe 48 Above all, keep loving one another
    earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.
  • 1Pe 49 Show hospitality to one another without
    grumbling.
  • 1Pe 410 As each has received a gift, use it to
    serve one another, as good stewards of God's
    varied grace
  • 1Pe 411 whoever speaks, as one who speaks
    oracles of God whoever serves, as one who serves
    by the strength that God supplies--in order that
    in everything God may be glorified through Jesus
    Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever
    and ever. Amen.

17

  • Giving
  • Encouraging

  • Sharing

Matt. 2514-30
  • Are you doing what God has called you to do?
  • Haggai was all about getting Gods people to
    complete what God told them to do.
  • You can do it! Press on in Faith!
  • What is stopping you tonight?

19
  • Heb 121 Therefore, since we have so great a
    cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also
    lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so
    easily entangles us, and let us run with
    endurance the race that is set before us,
  • Heb 122 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author
    and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set
    before Him endured the cross, despising the
    shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the
    throne of God.

20
What hinders us and why is this message relevant
for us tonight?
  • Because we have stopped BUILDING
  • WHY?
  • Because we have been discouraged
  • Because we have so many other very important
    things to do
  • Because there was too much opposition
  • Because well, I dont know, why?

21
Who are you tonight?
  • Mat 1319 When anyone hears the word of the
    kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one
    comes and snatches away what has been sown in his
    heart. This is what was sown along the path.
  • Mat 1320 As for what was sown on rocky ground,
    this is the one who hears the word and
    immediately receives it with joy,
  • Mat 1321 yet he has no root in himself, but
    endures for a while, and when tribulation or
    persecution arises on account of the word,
    immediately he falls away.
  • Mat 1322 As for what was sown among thorns,
    this is the one who hears the word, but the cares
    of the world and the deceitfulness of riches
    choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
  • Mat 1323 As for what was sown on good soil,
    this is the one who hears the word and
    understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields,
    in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and
    in another thirty."

22
How To Get Moving Again?
  • Consider your ways (15, 7)
  • What things are FIRST in your life? 14
  • Do you feel that you are unproductive or
    unfruitful? (16, 9-11)
  • Obey the voice of the Lord (112)
  • The Lord will stir up your Spirit (114)
  • Take courage NOW (24-5)
  • Do consider FROM THIS DAY ONWARD (215, 18) ?
    WHAT??

23
Haggai 219Yet from this day on
  • I will bless you
  • ? Haggai 223
  • I will take you
  • I will make you
  • For I have chosen you!

24
For the new covenant
  • 2Ti 220 Now in a large house there are not only
    gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood
    and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to
    dishonor.
  • 2Ti 221 Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself
    from these things, he will be a vessel for honor,
    sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for
    every good work.
  • 2Ti 222 Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue
    righteousness, faith, love and peace, with those
    who call on the Lord from a pure heart.

25
Tonight, we must rebuild.
  • Turn to II Chronicles 29

26
Steps in II Chronicles 29
  • 1.             Consecrate(dedicate) yourself
    your mind
  • 2.             Consecrate the Temple your body
  • Carry out the rubbish

27
  • Heb 1016 "This is the covenant that I will make
    with them after those days, declares the Lord I
    will put my laws on their hearts, and write them
    on their minds,"
  • Heb 1017 then he adds, "I will remember their
    sins and their lawless deeds no more."
  • Heb 1018 Where there is forgiveness of these,
    there is no longer any offering for sin.
  • Heb 1019 Therefore, brothers, since we have
    confidence to enter the holy places by the blood
    of Jesus,
  • Heb 1020 by the new and living way that he
    opened for us through the curtain, that is,
    through his flesh,
  • Heb 1021 and since we have a great priest over
    the house of God,
  • Heb 1022 let us draw near with a true heart in
    full assurance of faith, with our hearts
    sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our
    bodies washed with pure water.
  • Heb 1023 Let us hold fast the confession of our
    hope without wavering, for he who promised is
    faithful.
  • Heb 1024 And let us consider how to stir up one
    another to love and good works,
  • Heb 1025 not neglecting to meet together, as is
    the habit of some, but encouraging one another,
    and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

28
  • Rom 85 For those who live according to the
    flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh,
    but those who live according to the Spirit set
    their minds on the things of the Spirit.
  • Rom 86 To set the mind on the flesh is death,
    but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and
    peace.
  • Rom 87 For the mind that is set on the flesh is
    hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's
    law indeed, it cannot.
  • Rom 88 Those who are in the flesh cannot please
    God.

29
  • Rom 121 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by
    the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a
    living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God,
    which is your spiritual worship.
  • Rom 122 Do not be conformed to this world, but
    be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that
    by testing you may discern what is the will of
    God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

30
  • "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from
    heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth
    the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud,
    that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to
    the eater So shall my word be that goeth forth
    out of my mouth it shall not return unto me
    void, but it shall accomplish that which I
    please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto
    I sent it" (Isaiah 5510, 11).

31
  • -I Thess. 516-24
  • 16Rejoice always 17pray without ceasing 18in
    everything give thanks why?for this is Gods
    will for you in Christ Jesus. 19Do not quench
    extinquishthe Spirit 20do not despise
    propheticdivine proclamations utterances.
    21But examine everything carefully hold fast to
    that which is good 22abstain from every form of
    evil.
  • 23Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify (set
    you apart for exclusive use) you entirely and
    may your spirit and soul and body be preserved
    complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord
    Jesus Christ. 24Faithful is He who calls you, and
    He also will bringform it, mold it for His
    purposes it to pass.

32
Lets build Gods Church!
  • Act 242 And they devoted themselves to the
    apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the
    breaking of bread and the prayers.
  • Act 243 And awe came upon every soul, and many
    wonders and signs were being done through the
    apostles.
  • Act 244 And all who believed were together and
    had all things in common.
  • Act 245 And they were selling their possessions
    and belongings and distributing the proceeds to
    all, as any had need.
  • Act 246 And day by day, attending the temple
    together and breaking bread in their homes, they
    received their food with glad and generous
    hearts,
  • Act 247 praising God and having favor with all
    the people. And the Lord added to their number
    day by day those who were being saved.
