TODAY'S MANNA
HE WHO RAISED LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD IS HERE TODAY
John 11:43
Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."

PROPHET HAGGAIS MESSAGE TO THE CHURCH
GOD IS CALLING US BACK TO TURN OUR EYES BACK TO HIM
The prophet Haggai recorded his four messages to the Jewish peopleof Jerusalem in 520 BC, eighteen years after their return from exile in Babylon (538 BC).Haggai 2:3 indicates that the prophet had seen Jerusalem before the destruction of the temple and the exile in 586 BC, meaning he was more than seventy years old by thetime he delivered his prophecies. He was looking back on the glories of his nation, a prophet imbued with a passionate desire to see his people rise up from the ashes of exile and reclaim their rightful place as God's light to the nations.
Haggai's prophecy came at a time when the people of Judah were extremely vulnerable. They had been humbled by their exile to Babylon, hopeful in their return to their Promised Land, and then so discouraged by opposition in their rebuilding of the temple that they had quit (Ezra 4:24). Now, sixteen years later, with Haggai blaming their lack of food, clothing, and shelter on their failure to rebuild the temple, the Jews were receptive to his message of rebuilding the Lord's house. Haggai explicitly dated his prophecies, down to the day. He gave four separate messages, the first on August 29, 520 BC (Haggai 1:1); the second on October 17, 520 BC (2:1); and the final two on December 18, 520 BC (2:10, 20). These messages encouraged the people of Judah to finish building the temple and to have hope in God for the promise of blessings in the future.
After thousands of years, the book of Haggai remains largely unique among the books of Old Testament prophets for one key reason: the people of Judah listened! Haggai's message to rebuild the temple was passionate, simple, and straightforward (Haggai 1:8). No one could mistake whether or not his direction had been followed—the results would be evident for all the people to see. Through the physical act of rebuilding the temple, the people began to indicate a shift in their spiritual lives: from devotion to self toward devotion to God.
GREAT SECRET HERE
................................
The Jews who emigrated from Babylon to their original homeland of Judah faced intense opposition, both external and internal.Ezra 4:1–5records the external resistance to the project of rebuilding the temple. The enemies of Judah first attempted toinfiltrate the ranks of the builders, and when that didn't work, they resorted to scare tactics. Haggai, onthe other hand, focused on the internal opposition they faced, namely from their own sin. The Jews had thoughtlessly placed their own interests before the Lord's interests, looking after their own safety and security without giving consideration to the status of the Lord's house.
Haggai's encouragement to rebuild the temple in the face of the Jews' neglect brings to mind the apostle Paul's exhortation to Christians to build our lives on the foundation ofJesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:10–17).
Are you building a life that reflects your status as a temple of the Holy Spirit, leaving a legacy that will stand the test of time?
Find encouragement for that construction project in the four passionate sermons from this Old Testament prophet.

Hagai 1:2 "Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying: 'This people says, "The time has not come, the time that the Lord's house should be built." ' " Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying,.. "Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?
Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: "Consider your ways!
"You have sown much, and bring in little; you eat, but do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages, earns wages to put into a bag with holes."
Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Consider your ways!
"Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified," says the LORD.
"You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says the LORD of hosts. "Because of My house that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house.
"Therefore the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.
"For I called for a drought on the land and the mountains, on the grain and the new wine and the oil, on whatever the ground brings forth, on men and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands."
Hagai 1:12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him; and the people feared the presence of the LORD.
Hagai 1:14 So the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,

I remember last Sunday and today just after prayer service, there was a question that was itching me deep in my heart.
I was, "why is it that so many christians live in poverty or they've been robed off prosperity?"
And why religious people prosper more than us?
My bible teacher Pastor Dan gave me a hint that,,, many christians dont honour God with their tithes and offerings.
Like in our church we've been struggling months for window and musical instruments project yet people in their homes are well decorated with expensive furniture and systems, some even have plots and land but yet , they fail to honour the temple of God.
Haggais message to the church is people should obey the voice of God and honour Him with his substances and honour the house of God.
Hagai 2:8 'The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,' says the LORD of hosts.
Hear what the Lord says above,,know that whatever you give will never get out of pocket,, but the problem is that, people think that when they give they waste or they enrich the pastors.
The Lord says "The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,' says the LORD of hosts. 'And in this place I will give peace,' says the LORD of hosts."
If your hear the Lord and obey His voice and respect and honour His house, then His glory shall shine upon you and He will give you peace.
What a blessed portion of scripture.

BREAD OF THE DAY
AGREEMENT WITH THE LORD
..............................................
Ezekiel 36:37
....... 'Thus says the Lord God: "I will also let the house of Israel inquire of Me to do this for them: I will increase their men like a flock.......""
vs 38..... "Like a flock offered as holy sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem on its feast days, so shall the ruined cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they shall know that I am the LORD." ' "
THERES A PLACE OF AGREEMENT WHERE THE LORD WANTS US TO REACH WITH HIM,BUT IT ONLY COMES WHEN WE ARE FAITHFULL TO HIM AND WE OBEY HIM.

THE FEAR OF THE LORD
"....Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction....."
KJV
Our God whom we serve is a God of mysteries and wonders, therefore we should serve Him with fear and seriousness.
Everything that we do for the Lord, should be with fear knowing that we are serving the living God.
The fear of the Lord is the begining of wisdom, and so it will attract the devine favour of God.
And thats what made Jesus to walk in favour and His ministry prospered.
Luke 2:52....... And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men....
KJV
The scriptures say that , thmd eyes of the Lord are moving to and from the earth looking for an upright man....
........2Ch 16:9 "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him......
A good example that we find in the bible was Job. Despite all the plagues that fell on Him, still he feared the Lord. For this, God's protection was with Him all time that even the devil couldn't get him.
.......Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.....
KJV
Bibilical from the context of Job , to fear the Lord is to hate evil and to obey God.
But today, in our churches,society and in our lives we dont have the fear of God.
Everybody is ""Man for himself""""
What we have is the fulfillment of flesh desires.
The biggest problem and the door way that the devil uses to get us is our mind.
Our mind is the first point that satan uses to get into our flesh through..thats what leads to the fulfilment of the flesh through the working of the mind..
.....Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.....
KJV
To overcome the flesh, we must subdue ourselves to the Lord completely with our heart,body and soul. Paul the apostle says, "I die daily..." meaning, everday he crucifies the flesh which is the greatest enemy to God.
The bible says "Flesh and blood cant inherit the kingdom of God...""
BENEFITS OF WALKING IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD..................
.............................
There are blessings that come upon by fearing the Lord...
1. Theres a strong wall of protection the God sarrounds us with..
.".........Job 1:10 "Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land..........""
KJV
We find that God makes a hedge of protection around us, he blesses our lives and increases our wealth and influence.
2.God gives us a portion of His spirit
........Isaiah 11:1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots.....
Isaiah 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD........"
3.God will satisfy you with long life
Psalms 91:16..With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.....
Just as Hezekiah pleaded with God, He added Him more 15 good years....
......Isaiah 38:1 In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: 'Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live....
Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, and said, "Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly,, Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying, ""Go and say to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; and I will add to your days fifteen years........""
4.Favour
The favour of the Lord will always be with us . Wherever we go, the favour of the Lord will always be ahead of us.
..Luk 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men....."
God will comand respect for His people on the eyes of men.
Fear God and obey His commands and you will live long and eat the goodness of the land.
Lastly will always walk with us, His angels will be our escorts.
Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
KJV
Lastly you will never lack anything
Psalms 34:9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him...."
God bless you all

I once read this testimony at night, that night i couldn't sleep well due to the horrors of the book.
I invite you brethren to have a look of this book and you'll be blessed.
