Sat.’s Devo - Judgement and Rewards


Read: Haggai 1:1-2:23; Rev. 11:1-19; Ps. 139:1-24; Pr. 30:15 
Haggai’s name means “festive” because Haggai came with a message of hope and encouragement. He prophesied during the time when Israel was in exile. A few of them had come back to their land to rebuild the temple and Haggai was among them. They had started out well but when opposition came against them, the people had stopped construction. Haggai’s message caused the people to rally and finish. Haggai is an encouragement to us since he also prophesies the end when God will destroy the earth as we know it and rebuild it. 
We can take this very literal since we are the temple of the Holy Spirit. We need to build up our walls and set our foundation firmly on Christ or the enemy will come in and discourage us from finishing our race. Take heart and stand back up and finish strong.
In Revelation we have the two witnesses. These are two last day prophets who will demonstrate great wonders and miracles. I hope we are here to see this. They will have the ministry of Moses and Elijah. They will be killed and resurrected then judgment will come upon all men who ever lived. God’s children will be rewarded before the throne of God. 
Lord we ask you to search us and know our hearts and thoughts and see if there be any wicked way in us. Lead us in the way everlasting.
