“Who among you, who survived, looked into this house in its former glory? And as you see now? There is nothing like it in your eyes? (Haggai 2.3). God does not want anyone who believes in him and who takes his faith just to survive, He wants you to live. When you work, study, take care of your family, do everything in your power and maintain a covenant with God, you’re fighting to live.

But how can you live if your body is sick? Only you can enjoy your body if it is healthy. How can you enjoy the work of your hands, if you are unemployed and in debt? God wants you tohave the best and enjoy the work of your hands. God wants you to live, but for this to happen, you must meet certain conditions.

How many were the people who came to UCKG HelpCenter with their lives destroyed and manage to rebuilt, had their dreams realized and saw the physical glory of God. And others over time have been corrupt to leave, settling in faith, in short, were influenced by circumstances and ended up with no time to seek God. And all that they won today is in ruins. Then, what as the mistake? It was that the person didn’t want to keep up his covenant with God.

God second question was, how is your life now? If before you had good character and now you have a bad character, before you where a faithful thither and now you are unfaithful , before you prayed for your family and now you condemns and despises it… After all, God made these two questions for you to make an analysis of how spiritually you are. First, He speaks of the physical temple and then He speaks of the interior. But, he solves the problem, saying: “Now therefore, be strong …” (Haggai 2.4). God tells him to be strong, not to discourage and not to give up their rights. And for the second time, he says, “… be strong … and you, all the people of the earth “(Haggai 2.4), you can not stare at others, you must be strong. And for the third time, he says, “be strong” (Haggai 2.4). Three times, God asks of you to be strong, for example, morning, noon and night. Because if you want to see the Gods Glory, both on the outside and inside in addition to having faith you have to be strong.

“… And a labor, because I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts” (Haggai 2.4). So if you recognize that God wants us to live our life in its fullness if you have the strength, morning, noon and night if you do not fear what God commands, which is working if you do not doubt that He is with you and that His Spirit dwells in you, so He will do what you want and bring all good things and precious in your life because He wants his house to be full of His glory. “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former, saith the LORD of hosts …” (Haggai 2:9).v
