IS HE ENOUGH?                  10-5-22

Haggai 1:1-4 1 on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai… (520 B.C.) 2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: "These people say, 'The time has not yet come for the LORD's house to be built.'" 3 Then the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai: 4 "Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?" 

THREE QUESTIONS GOD ASKS:

1.) WHO’S FIRST?

Haggai 1:5–11 5 Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 6 You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough… You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.” 7 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 8 Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the Lord. 9 “…What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house. 10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. 11 I called for a drought...”

Haggai 2:1, 4  on the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai…  Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.

3.) IS HE ENOUGH?

Haggai 2:4 Be strong, all you people of the land,’ declares the Lord, ‘and work. For I am with you,’ declares the Lord Almighty.

Ephesians 2:10 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Workmanship, Masterpiece, Greek word: “Poema” to the World!

Ephesians 1:1-8 1 Paul… To the saints in Ephesus… 3 God… has blessed us… with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be… blameless (NO DEFECTS) in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us to be adopted (Meaning you can never be disowned) as his sons through Jesus Christ… 6 we have redemption (Can on road…) through his blood, the forgiveness of sins… the riches of God's grace 8 that he lavished on us…
