Listen from:
Then spake Haggai the Lord's messenger in the Lord's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord. Haggai 1:1313Then spake Haggai the Lord's messenger in the Lord's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord. (Haggai 1:13)
As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters. Proverbs 25:1313As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters. (Proverbs 25:13)
AG 1:13{RO 25:13{We are not all called to be the King's ambassadors, but all who have heard the message of salvation for themselves are called to be the Lord's messengers, and day by day, as He gives us opportunity, we are to deliver the Lord's message unto the people. That message, as committed to Haggai, was, "I am with you, saith the Lord." Is there not work enough for any lifetime in unfolding and distributing that one message to His own people? Then, for those who are still far off, we have that equally full message from our Lord to give out, which He has condensed for us into the one word, "Come!”
Yes, we have a word for Jesus! We will bravely speak for Thee.
And Thy bold and faithful soldiers. Savior, we would henceforth be:
In Thy name set up our banners. while Thine own shall wave above,
With Thy crimson Name of Merry, and Thy golden Name of Love.
