i love the church
Haggai 1:7-11 (Old 1310)
8 Go up to the mountains and take wood and build the temple;
I will rejoice and be glorified over it, says the LORD.
9 You have hoped for many things, but they are few; you have taken them home, but I have blown them away, says the LORD of hosts, What is this? For my house is desolate, but each of you hastened to build your own.
10 Therefore, because of you, the heavens have ceased the dew, and the earth has
stopped
11 I have made the land, the mountains, the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and all the produce of the land, and the people and the livestock, and all the work of the hands, a burden of sorrow” (Haggai 1:8-11).
1 And he brought me to the gate of the temple, and the face of the temple was facing east, and water came from under the threshold and flowed to the east, and then flowed down to the south of the altar on the right side of the temple.
2 And he brought me out through the north gate, and he turned to the outer road and came to the outer gate facing the east. And behold, water was gushing out from the right side.
3 The man took the cord in his hand and went east, and after measuring a thousand cubits, he made me cross the water, and the water came up to my ankles.
4 Again he measured a thousand cubits and made me cross the water, and the water came up to the knee, and again he measured a thousand cubits, and he made me cross the water, and the water went up to my waist.
5 Again he measured a thousand cubits, and the waters became a river that I could not cross; and it was full of waters that could swim, a river that no man could cross.
6 And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? And he brought me back to the river.
7 When I returned, there were very many trees on either side of the river.
8 And he said to me, "This water will flow toward the east, and it will go down to the Arabah and come to the sea.
9 Wherever this river goes, all living creatures will live, and there will be very many fish. As this water flows in, the seas will revive, and everything that the river goes to will live.
10 And a fisherman will stand by the river, from En-gedi to Eneglaim, as a netting place, whose fish, according to their kind, will be exceedingly numerous, like the fish of the great sea.
11 The mud and mud will not be revived, but will become a land of salt.
12 On the left and right sides of the river will grow all kinds of fruit trees for food, whose leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not cease, and will bear new fruit every month, and its water will come out of the sanctuary, and its fruit will be edible, and its leaves will be medicinal.” (Ezekiel 47) :1~12)
Do I love the church?
“And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send?
Who will go for us? Then I said, Here I am, send me” (Isaiah 6:8).
1. Are you a channel of God's blessing through worship restoration?

3. Is there passionate love for one soul through mission recovery?
4. Are you determined as a devotee of prayer and money for the complete dedication of the temple?
