Priorities

This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built. Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste? Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways. ( Haggai 1:2-7 )

Here the Lord is questioning the priorities of His people. He is asking them if their priority is the house/kingdom of God or their personal comforts. Jesus said.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. ( Mathew 6:31-33 )

In the Lord's Prayer ( Mathew 6:7-15 ) "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" comes before "Give us this day our daily bread." yet how often do we hasten after the material blessings leaving the house of God in ruins ( void ). Do you spent time with your friends or in front of the TV or in bed that you have little time to pray? Do you spent more time in front of the mirror beautifying your body and less time before the mirror of your soul, the word of God? If yes then you are fooling yourself for the scripture says.

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. ( 3 John 1:2 )

Pastors should consider first about the well being of the souls they are entrusted to.
Believers should have their priorities set right by every word that comes from God and from the pulpit. We are the House of God and our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit

What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? ( 1 Corinthians 6:19 )

Yet how often do we seek to fill the voids in us with material things and wrong relationships rather than to be filled with God? What are your priorities?

Prayer: Lord, I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant ( Psalm 119:176 )
