Where will you be on Sunday Morning...God’s House or your house?
The bible say’s in Hag. 1:4-9 “Is It time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled (house that is made of cedar wood, very costly material) and this house (The Lord’s House) go to waste. Now therefore thus saith the LORD of host; Consider your ways. You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but you have not enough; you drink, but ye are not filled with drink; you clothe yourself, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth to put it into a bag with holes. Thus saith the LORD of host; Consider your ways. 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."
The point behind this chapter that the Lord was expressing to His people, and it speaks to us today, is to not neglect His house. At times we can be so busy making a living that we give little thought to what’s important to God. God is very concerned about His House and how we treat His House. The house of God is a place of refuge, healing, deliverance, worship, prayer, praise, service, ministering to the needs of all people and most importantly, a place where we come to hear the Word of God.

The house of God should never be ignored, neglected and treated as a last option. We must understand that if we want God to fulfill his promise for our lives and to glorify Him, we must Love what He Loves, and cherish what He cherishes. Therefore God ask us to do four things:
1. Consider our ways: to stop and think about our actions, our behavior, our attitudes and make a change.
2. Come up to the Mountain: a place of high aptitude, another level, to come up higher
3. Bring your wood: bring a sacrifice, resources, to put some wood in your hand.
4. Build the house: come with a spirit to work, serve, to roll your sleeves up and minister to someone.
See you Sunday Morning at God’s House…remember the fire of God’s presence will be there so bring your wood…
