The Prophet Haggai’s message from the Lord was plain and simple: It’s time to get back to the Lord’s work.

In 520 BC, the prophet Haggai (Hag-eye) recorded four messages to the Jewish people of Jerusalem, eighteen years after their return from exile in Babylon (538 BC).

Steps To Protect Our Families

Contributed by S. R. Manohar on Jan 2, 2019

Through JESUS Christ every family is restored and protected. It is God's will that before the coming of Lord Jesus Christ all the families should be restored to their original form i.e., how Adam and Eve were in their love, understanding and walk with God.

The nearest thing to God's heart is a family; therefore, the first priority on the devil's list to destroy, is families. Exactly as he destroyed the first family of Adam and Eve. But the Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him ...read more
