حەگەی 4:1

Haggai prophesied in the post-exilic period as God’s people resettled in the Promised Land after being exiled in Babylon. Tasked with rebuilding the temple, Haggai rebuked the people for living in luxury while the temple lay in ruins. Repeatedly, God encourages the people to “consider their ways” (Haggai 1:5, 7), inviting them to reflect on the fruitlessness of their excess and reorient their hearts and lives to Him.

Some modern-day prophets like R. Loren Sandford believe that it’s time for the body of Christ to wake up and prepare for the days to come, when the Holy Spirit will move in power and glory that’s unprecedented in scope and impact. This devotional examines the ways in which the Old Testament is still speaking to us today, and how we can seek God and His kingdom.
