with the word of prayer and you can share you can you can share the broadcast they will be looking at the book of haggai and just encourage as many people to tune in as we continue with the minor prophets bible study let's believe and pray our father and our lord we come before your presence this evening with thanksgiving and praises in our hearts lord we thank you for the mandate the privilege and the honor to always come here gather here for the bible study thank you for your grace thank you for your revelations that are new every day and thank you lord that indeed you keep on gathering men and women globally with a burden or god to know you beyond the pulpit preaching but to understand you through the exigencies of the bible even as we look at this short book of our guy i declare that dear lord there will be revelation and above all our hearts will be touched to understand a couple of things thank you for your love and thank you for this moment and it is in jesus name that we do pray and believe hallelujah so thank you everyone joining us on board right now it's a big blessing and it's a great honor we are now launching on this short book which is the second shortest after obadiah in the old testament the book of obedience is only one chapter and this one has only two chapters um but it's more of an instruction and there's a lot of interconnection between the time that haggai prophesied and so i'll just lay a small historical background and then we look at chapter number one and tomorrow we finish with chapter number two and that will be it for the book of haggai now what we need to understand is that the book of hagai is a prophecy that shows up in the middle of an activity uh we saw and this is something that will keep on repeating as we are looking at the old testament prophecies one of the things is that there was a life before babylonian captivity and there was a life after the babylonian captivity and this becomes very key because they are prophets who rose they are the pre exec the pre-exiled prophets and then we have the post exile prophets those who prophesied after the exile and those who prophesied before and so you know when they when they when they when cyrus overthrew uh the kingdom of babylon cyrus was a passion ruler in the book of daniel we see that daniel sees this image and prophetically he sees the different kingdoms and he's told now that the prince are you know the prince of pashia ah you have conquered the prince of persia now later the prince of greek will come so it looks like these were the principalities but these are the kingdoms are going to take over so ideally after they left babylon uh which uh the first team was around 5000 under the leadership of zerubbabel uh they came uh to the land uh of israel these were the remnants and it's very key this background will help us to understand why the prophet is using the language that he's using when the people left uh babylon the time they had spent in babylon the lord had spoken through jeremiah and he said my people will be there for a long time they will be in babylon for a long time tell them to marry tell them to build houses tell them to you know get established because they will be there for 70 years and so we are looking at the people who are already established and maybe just even to take a very practical example these are people who had built houses established enterprises and they had settled in babylon because 70 years was not a short time and now cyrus comes and cyrus gives the children of israel permission to go back home and which home are they going back to the final destruction that nebuchadnezzar did to the cities of jerusalem was serious because he burned down the temple he broke down the walls and the temple was the system of sacrifice and the center of civilization and the walls was a sign of occupation and the jerusalem was a city and it was inhabited so there was nowhere else neither was there the temple so these are people leaving a place where they were established and they come straight now to israel and they have to begin afresh and in israel there's a lot of opposition the samaritans were there they wanted to help them in rebuilding the temple rebuilding the city but they deny them we know this because we see also the story in the issue of saint balas tobias and the arab arabian man so there was a position in whatever they tried to do but the first remnant of the written is managed to lay the foundation of the temple and you know this the whole story of the of the exile story can be understood when you read nehemiah you read the book of ezra you read the book of esther you read the book of hagai you read the book of zechariah and you know malachi these these six prophets are prophesying possibly in the same time frame uh because the dealings that are happening is immediately after the exile and they're speaking interchangeably so after the ruba bell comes to uh to to to israel uh they began the laying down of the foundation for the building of the temple and there was great opposition there was great opposition the samaritans this is historical the samaritans came and they wanted to help in the building of the temple and it's very key for us to understand who the samaritans were and this one will help you in your continuous bible study especially now when we come to the ghost spells and we see jesus mentioning the samaritans and mentioning them by name now when the captivity happened the babylonian captivity and also the assyrian captivity the two kingdoms the north and the south there was this you know judgment that happened over them when the captivities happened the lame the weak the poor the elderly were left in israel in most of the captivities when the foreign nation came they never took the sickly neither the lame or the or no or the elderly those people were left in that particular area so we see that you know out of assyria there's a time when uh the men began to because after they after the the the the ten tribes were taken by the assyrians the assyrians brought their people to occupy the land and so the people began to worship but they never worshipped according to the order of the lord and the lord sent lions and lions ate them these stories are in the bible and so they they made a decree they made a cry and so the assyrian king sent some israelite um are levites and priests to go and teach their people on how to worship yahweh so exactly when these people are taken into the israel uh land where the israelites used to be the few people that were left in israel also intermarried and so what happened is that when the priest went and told them the ways of yahweh the people began to worship the lord but now they worship the lord and they never believed in any other writings they believed in the torah the five books these are the samaritans they never believed in the psalms the prophets they didn't believe in them and and they just believed in the torah and they they used to worship in mount gazarim and they believed that the jews used to worship in mount moriah you know in jerusalem zion so ideally this is the conversation we see jesus having with the samaritan woman saying you worship on this mountain and the jews worship on this mountain and so when the samaritans came they wanted to help the jews in the rebuilding of the temple now the jews never viewed the samaritans as jews they were considered as non-jews though some samaritans claim to be half-caste because they intermarried with their syrians and the other tribes and so they came and they valued and held closely the torah that is the first five books of moses but they never believed in any other books and even today we still have some traces of the samaritans and you know they consider the prophets as as men who are propagating judaizing they don't see them as people who prophesied so there's a whole theology about the samaritans and so the samaritans wanted to help the returnees the jews and building the temple but the jews denied them the opportunity why remember they are coming from a place of chastisement they're coming from a place whereby they were disciplined for their errors of worshiping other gods so this time they cannot merge with anyone so they laid the foundation and history says some of the samaritans went to the governor uh cyrus and they received a letter so the building of the temple was suspended and it was suspended for around 14 years now in this season when the temple building was suspended the building was suspended the people went back to the activities and they abandoned the project now her guy comes on board to prophesy and to give a warning and also um an an instruction concerning the abandoned project so that's why the book of agga is there is because when they began rebuilding the temple they abandoned the project because of the opposition and so hard it comes to remind them to begin to rebuild the temple and of course these are now people who are coming from other areas uh they are entering into a city that is in ruins they are beginning afresh and so they had all the excuses to abandon the house of the lord you know we are just from this camp we've just come to israel it's in ruins let's begin to build for families first let's begin to establish our homes then we'll establish the church and one of the themes that comes out clearly in the book of haggai is the priority the priority between your personal kingdom need which one comes first and when we now begin to read we will see how heaven views man who has priority over the work of god and who does not have priority over the things of god the second thing we begin to see hager is the only prophet who spoke and men responded instantly the people responded acted and they went back and they began to rebuild the temple now possibly for me the bigger picture of the temple is my life and your life there are times we are occupied with so many other things and we forget and we need to rebuild and we need to finish what we began spiritually you know some of us began and this year we aired our manifesto of the number of times you're going to fast reading the bible from genesis to revelation but somehow the project was abandoned and the cry of hagai is to go back to the foundations and continue building and let the lord take preeminence it agrees with the scripture that says you know seek ye first the kingdom of god and his righteousness let priority that name is the name of priority so let's look at chapter number one that is what i may give us them historical background uh let's look at chapter number one the bible says in the second year of diverse the king in the six months of the first day of the month the word of the lord came by the hand of our guy the prophet to zerupabel the son of sheltiel governor of judah unto joshua the son of jehozadak the high priest thus says the lord of hosts these people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the lord then the word of the lord came by the hand of hagar the prophet is it a time for yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies in ruins now therefore thou says the lord of hosts consider your ways you have sworn much and harvested little you eat but you never have enough you drink but you never you never have your field you clothe yourselves but no one is warm and he who earns wages does not put them into a bag with holes does so to put them into a bag with holes i said the lord of us consider your ways go up to the hill and bring wood and build the house that i may take pleasure and eat and that i may be glorified says the lord you look for the match and behold it came too little and when you brought it home i blew it away why because the lord of hosts because of my house that lies in ruins which each of you busiest himself with his own house therefore the heavens above you have withheld the deal and the ad has withheld its produce and i have come forth brought on the land on the hills and the grain the new wine the oil and what the ground brings forth on man and beast and on all their labors then the son of shalt yell and joshua the son of jehozad the high priest with all the remnants of the people bear the voice of the lord their god and the words of our god the prophet as the lord their god had sent him and the people feared the lord then haggai the messenger of the lord spoke to the people with the lord's message i am with you declares the lord and the lord stand up the spirit of the ruber bell the son of shaltiel governor of judah and the spirit of joshua the son of jehozadak the high priest and the spirit of all the remnants of the people and they came and worked on the house of the lord of hosts their god on the 24th day of the month in the sixth month in the second year of dyrus the king so already we are seeing that the children of israel cyrus is the one who began there moving back around 50 000 israelites have moved back and now they're occupying israel the promised land that was given to them through abraham because the lord said i'm gonna give this land to my people as far as your eyes can see so they are back in the land of promise but when we see the bible says in the second year of divers meaning that cybers was no longer in power so time had elapsed from the time cyrus took power and exited the scene and diverse now was the one in power now we need to understand that um every prophet prophesied over a certain season when a certain king was ruling so that becomes very key that's why some prophets will introduce like this one is introducing and saying in the second year of diverse why is he saying that because everyone who's conversant with his history or the people who are going to read this letter literature later they will automatically know when that time was it's like right now i write and say in the second year when uh who was president everyone knows the second year or when you say the second time the first year when the president was in power everyone can remember that time vividly and that's why sometimes you look at the book of isaiah when the bible says in the ear king musa died i saw the lord it was because that day when the king died everyone can remember that day so that is trying to say when this king died that's the time another revelation came unto me so we see this as a form of writing so that now if you're if you want to go deeper in terms of study you can go and check who dairis was you can guarantee it for how long he ruled and some of this data is captured even in secular history because you know the passions the greeks they had their own history of the different empires that were there so it helps but because the bible is a narrative of one individual the name jesus so there are there's a lot of historical bank that is not included but it's good for us to have that insight to understand what was happening at that time and what kind of a leader this particular person was so the mother of the lord came by the hand of haggai the prophet to the aruba the son of shalt yell governor of judah unto joshua the son of jehozada the high priest looks like when he received the prophecy he penned it down and so it came it was being delivered and it looks at this particular hour it was him who was delivering the message to these particular leaders the ruba bell um uh uh who was made the governor the aruba bell was the one now governing the area he was the political leader but he was an israelite and also the high priest the one who was to govern the building now it says this is the lord of hosts these people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the lord now why were they saying that i shared and i gave the historical context the people have just left babylon and here they are they in a state of ruins in a city and possibly they were trying to first of all build their own houses and they were trying to establish their children establish their careers establish their businesses so maybe they can say now you know now we can have money and give it now to the building of the church and for me this is a scripture that talks about not just a physical building but our commitment towards the things of god so do you have personal commitments yes are your personal commitment relevant to you yes they are will you be going through some financial crisis and you feel let me fix this matter then i'm gonna serve the lord with my substance that's the thinking of many people and so possibly as the people were resettled in this particular land they felt you know this is a new land we've just abandoned babylon all the investment we made there we have to forget about it now let's come and begin life afresh so the temple can wait until we are stable but the system of heaven is a different system the system of heaven is a different system the lord is releasing a rebuke i'm saying the people said the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the lord then the word of the lord came by the hand of hunger the prophet is it a time for yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses while this house lies in wreaths it's a question but you live in comfortable homes while the wax and the things of god are not moving when you look at luke chapter number five jesus shows up at the lake and peter is there the bible says and there was the vessel and other vessels were also there the vessel of peter was there what is peter doing he's cleaning his nets there was no harvest the whole night automatically the order would have been jesus take peter to the sea let him have the harvest and then peter can give you his vessel because it's a transaction but jesus finds peter washing his nets and he has peter can i use your vessel the man had nothing the whole night and jesus knows he had nothing the whole night but he's trying to teach peter a system in the kingdom and he's trying to teach peter how this system works the secular system is that you give because someone has given that's the secular system the secular system is that you receive a wage or a reward um because of what you have done so there is an activity and then after the activity then you receive the reward now that's how the system has been wired and in that activity is that first of all i must know my benefits before i even give you my services before you sign the employment act you always look at the contract and you negotiate and say how much are you paying me and you'll negotiate because as i'm giving you the service there's something you need to give me back so these are we are doing business now the system of heaven is a reward system but the reward system is connected to a man meeting a kingdom need irrespective whether the lord has met your human need now we will see this formula because it's there in the bible is it time for yourselves to dwell in your partner houses or these houses lies in rain now therefore thousands the lord of heavens consider your ways you have so much and harvested little you eat but you never have enough you breathe but you never have you feel you clothe yourselves but no one is warm and he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes this is terrible you have no harvest you don't get satisfied your taste is not quenched you have clothes but they don't warm you you know there are five things and you make money but you can't account for it it is the very basic things that make life run more harvest number one number two satisfaction it's not there you eat but never get full you drink but you'll never be feeling your fast is not quench you clothe but you never get warm so no matter how many clothes you buy you don't get warm and when you get your wages it's like your pockets have holes allow me to teach you kingdom economics this is i tell you the kingdom is a system of life the kingdom is not a place we identify with so that we can go to heaven the kingdom is a system of life that we ought to follow and apply the principles that we learn in the kingdom this is the way of life the problem is that the secular system has become our teacher and most of us are not kingdom people this is what you'll discover for islam the quran is the manual of their life the quran teaches them how to raise their children the quran teaches them how to even do business the quran teaches them even how to dress the quran carries everything about their life for believers the bible is not the manual of life for us the bible is a book we read when we are discouraged and that's why we miss so many things that are kingdom centered because nobody cares to apply you can never use the formula of the world and expect to get the formula of the i mean the results of the kingdom this is a lifestyle ladies and gentlemen kingdom is not about just being in it kingdom is about a lifestyle what you do daily how you talk speech how you interact with people how you do business how you a kingdom i guess one of the guys who introduced the teaching of kingdom is miles monroe and jesus even the message that jesus left to the disciples it was the message of the kingdom but the problem is that we are not practitioners and i tell you the few that are practitioners they know the results let me say this also there is a level in life that you will reach and your success will be connected by the principles you apply and at that level you you must fast identify with a kingdom the kingdom of darkness has its principles and those who join it are faithful they understand the protocols the systems and they are very committed the kingdom of light has also its own demands and principles and when they are applied we get the results but we must get the revelation of the principle now look at this what is what is what is the priority here the priority is very simple anyone that puts the kingdom demands before his human demands that person qualifies for the rewards of heaven listen anyone that puts the kingdom demands before his human demand what did jesus say peter can i use your vessel yes i know you didn't harvest the whole sea i'm i'm i'm all-knowing i'm all-knowing i know there was no harvest i know you're in need of fish i know this is your career this is where you get the money to do everything but can i use your vessel why because there is there is an agent kingdom demand now i need to preach and you know what the bible says there was another vessel luke chapter number five maybe we can check because it's just in there just in the opening look five look five i jesus the bible says on the occasion while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of god he was standing by the lake of gansaret and he saw two boats by the lake but but you see the one but but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets getting into one of the boats which was simon he asked him to put out a little from the land and he sat down and told the people from the boat and when he had finished speaking he said to simon put out into the deeper let down your nets for catch now peter didn't have a cut the whole night there are two of them what does that mean the kingdom will never miss an option the kingdom will never miss an option there is always an immediate option but you have this opportunity to put the kingdom demand before because at that level heaven is thinking about reward and so when you are much occupied about my needs heaven is thinking about you are let's look in the old testament there is another it looks like a selfish story if you read it in our context today the world of human rights it doesn't make sense that elisha the brook dries up elijah the brook dries up the rabbis are no longer feeding him and the lord tells him i have commanded a widow now look at this setup he's a woman without a husband the whole nation of israel is going through a crisis there is drought even the one who caused the drought is suffering from the drought there is foreign in the sea in the territories and the woman here um if people are dying because it's a three and a half year season of nothing no harvest nothing and god sends elijah to this woman what was god thinking it was a system of unlocking divine supply for the woman but she had to be in the system of the kingdom what does this woman say um i have this muscle of bread i eat with my child and we die when you look at that scenario logically humanly speaking as a prophet who he has god a woman tells you this is our last meal but but when the lord was speaking to elijah he said i have commanded a widow i have commanded the widow so i am not sending you to a person who doesn't know the system this widow she knows my voice so she understands the system of the kingdom and when she's saying that this is all that is left what she didn't know is that as because at that time elijah represents the kingdom at that time she was meeting the kingdom need immediately after that the lord met her human need and how was the meeting the meeting was beyond her capacity i know someone is learning a couple of things the reason why it's hard to do business with god is because it takes discipline to do business with him it doesn't take logic it takes revelation because when god shows up in town sometimes it doesn't ask you what do you need it will point you to a kingdom need but in that need he's saying by you meeting this need you are provoking the heavens to supply and the way the heavens will supply it's beyond even what you would have had now when you look at this story in luke chapter number five the bible says and there was supply for the woman the oil will never rain out maybe if the woman was to withhold what she had eat they would have only maybe survived for seven days and died logically if you put your mind to the matter you will say i rather take care of my child this is a wicked prophet what do you mean this child is a blessing from god what do you mean god has told you that the woman understood and by obeying that voice the heavens open after after simeon gave his vessel the lord said in fact the word there in luke when you look at the kjv the board says carry your nets all the nets and then let's go to the sea and then they reach the place and the creator of the universe who understands the pathway of the sea as the bible declares in psalm and now hold on drop your nets here the bible says peter dropped his net not nets it was partial obedience and according to his net that's exactly what he harvested but according to heaven the lord had opened the sea to accommodate all his nets and the mystery here peter did not call men to bring the nets that he had left at the show he called his friend to celebrate a harvest that they never partook and participated in so this is for me this is just a system do you have the burden for the things do you have the burden for the kingdom because god is a rewarder god is not a robber and the reward system of zion is connected to kingdom priorities if the kingdom takes priority many things someone said and i you know it sounds like a philosophical statement and he said when you put or when you mind that about the things of god god will automatically mind about your things when you have the burden for the things of god god will have burdens for your own things it looks like you do this i'm doing this so for me when i look at the scripture these are just principles for kingdom living how i pray that these ones will settle and you see the lord is saying you you never get enough yes you are you you you live with me with your budget you abandon my work you survive with your budget you still discover it's never enough by the time you check your pockets it's like they have holes you are always in debts an opportunity comes and i'm like can you partner with this you don't show up and it is not for my benefit someone said we don't earn a living we are a giving so every earning that comes our way it's a giving and so the lord is saying no i'm limited because in this kingdom this is how i expand men in this kingdom this is how you open the pathway for a reward system see what the lord says that says a lot of us consider your ways so so these five things there is no harvest you are doing business no profits it's losses after losses you you you are there you know the concept of buying clothes it means you can't get enough you you there is insufficiency that is the right one no matter what you try to do you never enter overflow you are always in a place of insufficiency and you know i've discovered this as as i've lived in life pre you know quite some years i've discovered the people who are very generous they never lack the people who are very mean they are always in a constant state of luck the people who are generous they never lack and you know it's because one of the laws of money money is supposed it's it's it's called currency currency and if money is not flowing when you when you come to a place and stop the flow ideally many things will not flow so money must come in and go out so that another money can come in and go out so your wallet should be a place not where money stops it's a place where money gets in but also money gets out that because it's a currency to ought to flow okay that says the lord god of hosts consider your ways go up to the hills and bring wood and build a house that i may take pleasure and eat and that i may be glorified says the lord you looked for much and behold it came too little now the lord is continuing to tell them listen you guys are trying to survive and when you brought it home i blew it away why declares the lord of us because of my house that lies in ruins well each of you busies himself with his own house you have abandoned the other day you have abandoned their kingdom is no longer your priority your appetites your careers you are you you are you know you you the things of the world have taken priority it's no longer about me and so whatever you do i have blown it away so you look like you're chasing a dark cat in a dark room you don't even know where it is and in a very sad way the life of many believers is dictated by this it's dictated by this i believe it already declares the lord of us because of my house that lies in ruins while each of you busy himself busies himself with his own house therefore now see the lord is telling them i'm the one who is in charge of the harvest it is not your labor it's not your saving it's not your good skills i'm the one in charge of the harvest i'm the one in charge of the harvest i'm the one in charge of the harvest and he says therefore the heavens above you have withheld the deal and the other has withheld its produce so when there is no water the earth cannot produce so i have also interrupted with the system because in this system when the demands my demands are put forward i put your demands also forward i was i was watching something and someone was saying the system of the kingdom is like the hydrological cycle where whatever is on earth releases to the heavens the trees have to release vapor the lake has to release the water and when the clouds are full they release more rain than the vapor that went up that is how the system of the kingdom operates we release up fast and then the app releases down we don't expect the apt to release if we've not released the app therefore the heavens above you without the deal and the earth as the hell is produced and i have called for a drought on the land on the heels on the grain the new wine the oil and what the ground brings forth on man and beast and on all their labors your labors are in vain you have a band on my house it's in ruins as you're building in well paying the houses you're worried about your careers your children but nobody's worried about my things so why should i be worried about your things when god was sending moses to go to pharaoh he said go and tell pharaoh to let my firstborn go otherwise i will deal with his firstborn and that's how pharaoh lost his firstborn because god saw israel as his firstborn the whole nation he said let my firstborn go i am the lord i am the owner that's that was the language so we need to understand we need to come to a place of understanding we are custodians i'll repeat this until it settles we need to come to a place of understanding we are custodians we need to come to a place of understanding that the kingdom opt to take priority one day we went to a conference and the guy who was speaking in that conference is a very senior guy in this nation he's among the few christian billionaires and he said during the crusades in uhuru park used to be an asha and a ministry used to be an usher hopeless and nothing used to be an usher in those meetings in the uhuru park and he was an intercessor and he began to study the bible from genesis to revelation and the lord gave him an insight on business he has a b he has a business school called kingdom business where people don't use the economics of the university they study the economics of the scripture and they apply the principle of scripture to do business oh jesus so this guy came and he was sharing amazing and he said something that i was there with my friend i looked at my friend and i told him i think now we know why we are not kingdom billionaires he said listen from the time i began dealing with god i have never bought myself anything more that is more expensive than what i've given god and he said i have the capacity right now to buy a range rover fresh from the showroom 20 million i can afford and he said but before i buy a 20 million range rover i must give 21 million to god you know i just looked it's a principle and they say this is my life this is how i work before i do anything for me that is worth a certain amount so if i'm thinking of buying a 5 million house i first give six to the kingdom and he said this is me and i am where i am because of this principle i turned to my neighbor and told my neighbor now we know why we are not kingdom billionaires we know why we cannot be entrusted with this amount because we eat lunch worth 500 and we give offering words i don't want to mention reit lunch was 200 and that is just on the appetite level and you know may these burdens be relayed and be released upon men therefore the heavens have withheld this this is our guy now talking and telling them the reason why you are seeing no harvest you have abandoned the work of god the reason why there are holes in your pockets you are ever in debt there is no harvest everything is not working you out yes you are using the seven keys of success number one called work hard but in your hard work there is no grace there is no favor doors are not opening you know everybody you are dropping yourself is no one cares there is a system that provokes this thing to work where is your burden in the things of god where is your burden for the kingdom of god where is your burden where is your burden and for me when i look at this even in our current status if i was to go to a place of applied theology it's a place of asking ourselves what do i do for the kingdom other than just being a church member what is my contribution other than giving tithe beyond my money have i given myself for the works of god a missionary team in america was looking for missionaries and they said we need money and the church raised enough money for mission but no one showed up and they said money will not preach we need missionaries nobody went and they said it was an error because people didn't have a problem giving money but people had a problem going to sudan to evangelize and so there's a place where we have to go beyond just giving resources but we also give ourselves as the first resources in the service and in the things of god i know there's a guy who used to watch toilet in a very big ministry in town and he didn't have anything to do and in the process of washing the toilet one day an investor was sent by the lord the guy was a watchman somewhere in adams and he will go wash the church toilets and sleep in the church bench as he waits for the night to go and become a watchman and that night someone came someone by the lord a serious investor he landed in kenya went to that church in prayer and as he was walking around he saw this guy and asked him wow this is a good place do you know of anyone selling land and the man remembered the land i look after where i'm a watchman the owner wants to sell it and the guy the lord that told him to come in kenya is going to show him where to invest this is a story in kenya it's not america but the guy comes and he shows him the land and the guy is like exactly this is what i want 10 pieces of flats residential gets the deals everything done fast for the story when the building was commissioned he gave a seed of one flat to this guy and he made him the manager of his properties and this guy was lifted from a watchman to a guy with substance guess what he had the ability bought a mercedes-benz but every saturday he was still in charge packed his car and went back to his place of connection washing the toilet because the change of status never changed its priority about the kingdom there are many things that are needed in the kingdom then the rubber band the son of shalt and joshua the son of jerusalem the high priest with all the remnants of the people obeyed the voice of the lord their god and the word of hager the prophet as the lord their god had sent him and the people feared the lord then hagar the message of the lord spoke to the people with the lord message i am with you declares the lord when they obeyed now the lord said i am with you he began by saying consider your ways but when they obey they say yes lord we have abandoned we began this project 14 years ago it's now in ruins we agree we accept our heartbeat is no longer the kingdom we have done great things for ourselves but we don't care about missionary work anymore we don't care about evangelism anymore the church is a mediocre we are sorry lord we are going now to get back and serve you with our substance and the lord start up the spirit of zerubbabel the son of shaltiel governor of judah the spirit of joshua the son of jehozada the high priest and the spirit of all the remnants of the people and they came and worked on the house of the lord of hosts their god on the 24th day of the month in the sixth month in the second year of diras king on the 24th day of the month in the sixth month they launched out with an immediate urgency i pray that this urgency will come upon you and that this urgency will begin to ring bells even in your own spirits i tell you the truth the things of god has been abandoned we have run for our own things and it looks no matter how much we try to fix our personal things it looks like nothing seems to work there is a system inside there is a system in the kingdom that provokes a reward there is a system that provokes a reward there is a system this is one of the systems that provoke supernatural supply i know we speak about supernatural but this is one of the chords you press in zion that provokes a supernatural supply and ah more than enough allow me to say this in closing what i've discovered with my lord is that when you surrender your fears and surrender all to him he entrusts you with more that's what i've discovered with the lord but the moment you operate with a budget mentality you know god you know even god understands enough time the lord has asked me with whose budget are you building with whose budget are you doing this thing and i remember one man of god told me anytime you believe god for something believe him in his capacity and anytime you serve the lord serve him also in his capacity let your faith be in his capacity if you have to believe god you must believe him or something you know your money your connection your networks nothing can take you there because he's god and if you have to serve god you must serve him with all that is in you with all that is in you the early church and the secret they serve the lord with all that was in them may the abundance of the kingdom begin to come back god is a rewarder god is not a robber there are things that men will take 10 years in saving in systems to acquire a man will master the system a man will master the system and whatever men have taken 10 years they can earn it even this is the shortcut i'll just give one story and then we'll leave i know of a man of god who was building his church and he had a piece of land that he valued he valued it so much and and the lord told him release this piece of life it was a struggle it was worth good money and they were they wanted to attain church land what he did he said out of revelation i'm releasing this land so that the house of god can be permanently settled in this piece of life and he sold the land to call the money laid it on the altar and he said lord may this ministry and any pastor connected to this ministry establish us may they never suffer when it comes to land and true to his word all the people submitted under that ministry wherever they launch out ministry they are either given land for free or suddenly people just get a burden and they say we need to buy this land he opened a door in the spirit for many other people to benefit not even to say from that the moment he surrendered that piece of land he saw men in his own life so to him titled these of properties that were more expensive than even what he gave out this is this is a system in the kingdom i know it has been abused but i pray that you seek the lord to have revelation and understanding those that have worked in this system they know what i'm talking about it is not a pyramid scheme but it is a revelation an understanding and a burden in the spirit and in fact even as people are meeting kingdom demands majority of them they don't meet it waiting for heaven but they know god is not a robber and they know as we are doing this god in his jurisdiction will automatically come to the need of my own life my dad grill paying school fees for children that he didn't know anyone who passed exam in our village my dad was there paying school fees for them he never knew them he never knew them and i can't sit here and tell you when i went to the university i applied for a bursary they gave me double all my university school fees was paid for my accommodation my meals up to the last day when i left the university i returned some money was 80 000 because it was more than enough there is a reward system guess what at that time my dad had retired he didn't have money to pay for my university but whatever as he was meeting the needs of some children who belong to the lord because these these children possibly were praying for a miracle believing god that doors will open as he was blessing and sowing those seeds the lord knew one day your son will also be need guess what at that time the reward system came when he was not in a position to do anything to the son he loved and that's the time heaven opened up i want to remind you this god who is a rewarder father thank you for reminding us that indeed your house will be a house of investment and above all not just even the physical house but even us as the temple of the holy spirit we ought not to leave ourselves in ruins and focusing on the external but begin to focus even in the internal spiritual matters lord may this burden be laid upon your sons and daughters lord we know there are many things that ought to happen globally spiritually and resources and wealth is already availed and the resources are with your children and your lord i declare that indeed this understanding will settle and the burden will be released when the children of israel were asked to give their offering in the wilderness the bible says they gave more than enough because they had given the kingdom the preeminence and the priority may this be our dimensions of operation and it is in jesus name that we do pray and believe hallelujah thank you for everyone that has joined us it's time to give our offering hallelujah you know as a springer just for the scripture the children of israel in the wilderness were asked to give an offering for the building of the act and the bible says it reached a place where moses said it's enough don't collect any other offering it's my prayer one day we reach that level and say hey prof tell them it's enough we don't need another offering but the work of god needs to continue giving details are there 81 7370 that is buy goods and services
