Dear beloved,
According to some prophetic voices, February
is the month of gathering, not for Chinese New Year celebration but the
gathering of the saints to wait upon the Lord. Then we will see by March,
people who have been in hiding will now spring forth. I believe this season
runs parallel to Prophet Haggai’s time. (Hag 1:13-14
Then Haggai, the messenger of the LORD, spoke to the people with the LORD's
message, "I am with you, declares the LORD." And the LORD
stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,
and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit
of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked
on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,)
The Scripture says all the remnant of the
people, not many but just the remnant and who are they? In the book of Acts, we
have the 120 gathered in the upper room praying and waiting upon the Lord and
they caught the fire, whereas the other 380 who had also seen the Lord’s
ascension to heaven and heard Him saying in Luk 24:49 And
behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city
until you are clothed with power from on high.” somehow missed the Baptism
of the Holy Spirit and the fire.
I guess February must be one of the
busiest months of the year because of Chinese New Year. Yet King Solomon
challenged us in Psa 127:1 A Song of Ascents.
Of Solomon. Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor
in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in
vain. Shall we not put our hearts together to seek the Lord for this season?
Surely, our labour will not be in vain when we seek HIS FACE and read HIS BOOK.
Dear Lord, Your face we seek and Your
book we read. This is our priority from this day forth, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
至亲的，
据一些先知说，二月是聚集月份,
不是华人新年庆祝活动，而是圣徒的聚会，等候主。然后，我们将在三月看到，那些一直在躲藏的人涌现出。我相信这个季节和先知哈该的时间平行。（哈该书1：13-14耶和华的使者哈该奉耶和华差遣对百姓说：「耶和华说：我与你们同在。」 耶和华激动犹大省长撒拉铁的儿子所罗巴伯和约撒答的儿子大祭司约书亚，并剩下之百姓的心，他们就来为万军之耶和华他们神的殿做工。）
圣经说，剩下的人不是很多，他们是谁呢？在使徒行传中，那120个聚集在楼上祷告等待主，他们终于抓住了那火，而其他380个看见了主升天和听到祂说，在路加福音24：49‘我要将我父所应许的降在你们身上，你们要在城里等候，直到你们领受从上头来的能力。」 ’ 因有某些原因而错过了圣灵与火的洗礼。
我猜二月应该是一年中最繁忙的月份之一，因为是华人新年。然而，所罗门王挑战我们在诗篇127：1若不是耶和华建造房屋，建造的人就枉然劳力；若不是耶和华看守城池，看守的人就枉然警醒。为什么我们不能把我们的心联在一起，在这季节里寻求主呢？当然，我们的劳力就不会白费，当我们寻求祂的脸，读祂的书。
亲爱的主，袮的脸，我们寻求，和您的书，我们要读。这是从今天开始我们的首要任务。奉耶稣的名，阿门。
