"WASTED TIME AND WASTED HOUSES"
*A Neglect of The Common*
Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your ceiled houses, and this house lie waste? - Haggai 1:4
Sounds like "Haggai" the prophet could have fit in well today as a modern Pastor. His message was too God's (faith confessing) people. Formed in a question of conviction and immediate concern. Let's modernize his quest for us now today. Haggai could have sounded like this, as follows. "People of God, do you not know what time it is? Do you think it's time for you to stay home more in your personal houses, which God blessed you to have with no thought of the time it takes at God's house, in the essential work of His and the privilege of worship of Him to make it a success? How is it that you can take care of the homes God has given you, and yet allow His House to become ruin through neglect?"
Sounds a little blunt, doesn't it? But it's a Truth that the prophets of old like "Haggai" had to address amiss the apostasy in their day. Today, kind of like then, this same apostacy exist. God's House has become a seasonal, secondary place. Where God's people show up for special events. Or if it is convenient according to their calendar. If it doesn't interrupt the pursuit of their personal happiness and the prosperity of having more in this World. A day when the modern "so called" believer can find the time to take care of their homes, and yet allow God's house to be neglected. Sadly, often with no thought of it until a preacher/Pastor has to bring it up. A sign the sheep have stop listening and hearing the Great Shepherd. Therefore, He then has to speak through His anointed and appointed shepherds. A day when the "so called" saint have no "mind to work" (Nehemiah 4:6). Which is "the work of the ministry" accordingly (Ephesians 4:12). A day when many not only have lost the mind to Work, in and at His Houses. Tragically, a time also when now many have lost the heart to attend faithfully to Worship at His Houses. Who predictably “make up excuses” as a habit “a manner of some that is (Hebrews 10:25). Therefore, when God's Work and God's Worship is neglected by those who are called by His name, then their is ruin spiritually at His Houses that seeps into the surroundings culturally with lukewarmness and compromise and deception concerning His faith. Then the spiritual warfare that true CHRISTIANITY is, becomes void in our day and Churches. Why? I call it "THE THREE W's of HIS KINGDOM". (1) Worship (2) Work (3) Warfare. The Church is only a success in The Spirit when these three Kingdom principles are obeyed. Some only want to Worship. They want a service every now and then, not a Church. They come or not come, makes no difference to them. Their not zealous for His House as Jesus was in (John 2:17). Then there are those who enjoy to Worship in His House, because they have so much work invested in His House! Noticed, I said "work" not "tithes and offerings". Going to His House to them is not just about worship, it is also about work. They go to His House to Worship and Work! Only this category of congregants are really “WARRIORS". They will fight and not flee! According to (Nehemiah 4:17), "...every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with other hand held weapon." Meaning, the WORKERS are the WARRIORS! Many can WORSHIP, but this does not mean they are WARRIORS. Only those who WORSHIP and WORK are WARRIORS!
Warriors are faithful to the fight, because they are willing for the work! Thy don’t mind working because their mindful of the work! This is why then they can "WARSHIP" in the midst of the warfare that CHRISTIANITY is and not run when times aren’t fun. Those who can run away so easily in warfare, are those who prior, neglect the work, though they occasionally worship. God's house lies in much waste today. Some of the waste is “TIME WASTED". Not discerning the times. The time at His House. The neglect of time in His Worship and time in His Work (at His House). In (2 Kings 4:10) a great woman, in "Shunem" connected a little room on her house. It was a room where the prophet "Elisha" could come and rest. A little room where God did big things! It was in this little room connected to her house that God raised her dead son back to life! (2 Kings 4:32-37).
The word "Shunem" means: "DOUBLE RESTING PLACE". This place of MIRACLES was a place (GOD'S RESTING PLACE), the same as HIS HOUSE. She connected God's Room, His Upper Room "so to speak" to her House! It became a “double house” His house and Hers! Her house was one with His House! Until we His people reconnect back to God's House faithfully in "Worship", in "Work" and in "Warfare" we will not experience these types of "Wonders".
Many do not realize that Pastors have houses too. They have yards to tend. They have families to provide for. They live on the same 24rs that everyone else does. Yet, when they take care of their homes and families, their minds are also on taking care of God's house and His family. They don't just think of their yard. They think of God's yard. When they think of their house and the weekly care, their reminded of the weekly care at God's house. They don't think just of their house; they think of God's house. Too, often them and their family are left with the weight to take care both theirs and God's. While, many saints have no thought, no mind other than Church time. Never asking prior and after services: "WHEN WAS THIS DONE?" "WHO DID IT?" and "HOW WAS IT DONE?"
Pastor's do not have to have members of the Church inform them of common things that need to be done at their personal houses. Likewise, Church members don't need Pastor's to inform them when common things need to be done at their houses. Yet, how is it that the Pastor has to be both mindful of common things for both his house and God's house? Why is it that the Pastor is expected to remind Church members of the common things that need to be done at God's House? Common things at our houses and at God's Houses. Here are some common examples in comparison. Yard cleaning and maintenance. House cleaning and maintenance. Taking trash out? Locking doors? Unlocking doors? Turning water spickets on and off (especially in freeze warning conditions).
Turning lights on or off. Turning/setting thermostats on or off, etc. Common things that are so often overlooked except by those who OVERSEE. Things that are so common at our houses yet are so neglected at God's Houses. Why? Because most think...the Pastor or his family will do it.
According to (Acts 6:4), the main responsibility of the Pastor is "prayer & preaching". Yet, because there is so much neglect of common thing, the local minister becomes the one carrying both His House and God's. A task that will eventually wear him down at both his house and sadly at God's house in the pulpit. Which is satan's plot. The enemy loves lazy saints who let their Pastor's, and their families do all the common things at the Church. Then he (the wolf) can sit back with the sluggish sheep and watch the battered shepherd become smitten, so then the sheep might be scattered. (Mark 14:27). Why? So, the wolf (satan) can then feed on scattered sheep who want come feed. Battered (wore out) shepherds lead to scattered (wandering off) sheep. Then the wolf succeeds in devouring and wasting both. It all leads back to the waste of God's House and the common neglect. This is where the waste and wear begins.
Wake up saints! Get Work up Church! Come Alive in 2025!
Churches, Time and Shepherds are being Wasted over the common simple things being neglected.
THOSE WHO ARE CONNECTED TO HIS CROSS, WILL BE CONNECTED TO HIS CHURCH!
Be Not Deceived...saith the preacher!
In the Spirit with Haggai the Prophet,
Abiding, Night Watching Shepherd,

ATTENTION:
THE COVID 19 VACCINATION(S) And Our Freedom To Exercise Our Religious Beliefs
We here at "ACTS 29 CHURCH UNTO GOD INC.", as active members believe it is against the free exercise of our religion "Christianity" when it comes to receiving any of the "Covid 19 Vaccine(s)" according to the 1st Amendment of The Constitution of The United States. After studying both sides of scientific claims, we conclude that there are important (question’s) that reveal that these vaccine(s) involve “genetic manipulation” in the human gene. Also that these vaccine(s) are associated with abortion and “fetal cell lines” within its contents. Therefore, because it is believed to alter the human gene, we consider it to be both unsafe for the body physically and spiritually unacceptable in the practice of our religion. Because we believe according to the following scripture (we follow)…..
(1 Corinthians 6:19-20) and (Roman's 12:1-2) that our body belongs to God our Creator. That we are commanded by our faith to glorify God in our Body and our Spirit which are our Lord's. We are to present our body unto Him as a living sacrifice. Proving what's acceptable according to His perfect will.
Therefore, all present Covid Vaccine(s) we believe is a violation of our faith in this respect.
We consider these vaccine(s) to be a tampering with our human DNA. As it has been said to compromise the "human gene." Therefore our faith in our God, rejects with respect to receive it, seeing that our God is the “God of All Flesh” according to (Jeremiah 32:27). Because we believe our flesh/body belongs to Him. Therefore, we confidently affirm as the Holy Spirit bears witness in our conscience as taught by (Romans 9:1) that this is not acceptable, nor is it the perfect Will of God for our bodies which again belong to Him. Therefore, it's our responsibility to resist taking these vaccine(s) as a conviction/belief of both our relationship with Christ and the free exercise of our religion "Christianity."
We hold these beliefs in good conscience. This we affirm upon our faith in Christ, “as practicing Christians” and again upon our “1st Amendment Rights” as outlined in the “Constitution” for all American Citizens concerning the free exercise of our religion, without fear of Congress making any law respecting our religion. We are also committed to respect different opinions and beliefs concerning this topic. We will respect all other beliefs without discrimination, maintaining brotherly love. Believing that every human being should have the freedom/right to make their own choice to what is put in their bodies. But we also expect “in return” the same respect “in freedom” to that we hold as acceptable or unacceptable to our faith and the freedom to exercise our faith/religion as our conscience dictates to us, without discrimination from any big government or big business unconstitutional over-reach of those freedoms.
All “ordained ministers” with “Acts 29 Church unto God Inc.” are encouraged not to receive any of the Covid 19 vaccination(s), which would be a violation of what we render acceptable according to our belief and the free exercise of our religion. This recommendation is for Ordained Ministers Only.
Logged into our “minutes” during our “Church Business/Ministry Meeting. Agreed Upon By All Active “Acts 29 Church unto God” Board Members on (08/29/21).
Religious Exemption Letters Are Available For Those Who Ask, After Approved & Signed By Lead Pastor.
This belief and decision is not included as a part of requirements in becoming a member at “Acts 29 Church unto God”. Seeing that would infringe upon individual health/religious/medical rights. This is shared for “religious exemption and waiver” purposes according to the practice of our religious freedoms within the 1st Amendment of the Constitution. Anyone (desiring to be a member) who has already received this “vaccination(s)” will not be discriminated against going forward. Meaning: Though we believe “against” receiving this “vaccination” for purposes we have disclosed above, both “spiritually and physically”. Yet those who view differently and have received the vaccination(s) will not be disregarded, or discourage from becoming a future member at “Acts 29 Church unto God”, as long as “he or she” (they) “adhere” too, and “believe” our “doctrine” and “practice our requirements” for membership. Neither shall it be allowed among our members, for those who have been "vaccinated" to discriminate against any others who have not been “vaccinated”. Again, because this is “a personal, medical and religious right of all Americans, concerning one’s own health-care”. No one will be treated differently because of what “he or she” holds as their religious belief concerning receiving or not receiving this “vaccine”. But we still believe that these vaccine(s) are a violation of scripture(s) for the reason(s) we have listed above. Therefore, those of us who oppose receiving these vaccine(s) for these religious reasons, should be allowed to exercise freely our religion in respect to the Constitution.
