Surprise of the Day

When people hold back from giving to God because they must cover a personal need,

they lose more than if they had made their contributions in the first place.

Prophet Haggai

Fact  of the Day

“Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses,
while this house remains a ruin?” 
This is what the LORD Almighty says:
“Give careful thought to your ways.” 
Haggai 1:4-5
 
“You have planted much, but have harvested little.
You eat, but never have enough.
You drink, but never have your fill.
You put on clothes, but are not warm.
You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.” 
This is what the LORD Almighty says:
“Give careful thought to your ways.” 
Haggai 1:6-7
 
“You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little.
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 his own house.”
Haggai 1:9
 
Therefore, because of you the
heavens have withheld their dew and
the earth its crops.
Haggai 1:10
 
“The silver is mine and the gold is mine,‘
declares the LORD Almighty.”
Haggai 2:8
 
When anyone came to a heap of twenty measures,
there were only ten.
When anyone went to a wine vat to draw fifty measures,
there were only twenty.
I struck all the work of your hands with blight, mildew and hail,
yet you did not return to me,’ declares the LORD.
Haggai 2:16-17
 
Is there yet any seed left in the barn?
Until now, the vine and the fig tree,
the pomegranate and the olive tree
have not borne fruit.
Haggai 2:19
