by Matt Redman
Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name
The sun comes up
It’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me
Let me be singing
When the evening comes
Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name
You’re rich in love
And You’re slow to anger
Your name is great
And Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find
So bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name
Bless You Lord
And on that day
When my strength is failing
The end draws near
And my time has come
Still my soul will
Sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years
And then forevermore
Forevermore
Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name
Bless the Lord oh my soul
Oh my soul
Worship His Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name
Yes I’ll worship Your Holy name
Lord I’ll worship Your Holy name
Sing like never before
Oh my soul
I’ll worship Your Holy name
Jesus I will worship Your Holy name
Worship Your Holy name
Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell; on the third day, He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Universal Church,
The communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.
Scripture Reading
Haggai 2:1-9
In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet: 2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, 3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes? 4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. Be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. Work, for I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, 5 according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit remains in your midst. Fear not. 6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7 And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. 9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’”

Those Who Pledged Their Lives
In the Bible, there were priests, prophets, and kings. But since those couldn’t bring the ultimate solution, God promised to send the true King, Prophet, and Priest. That is ‘the Christ.’ It is from here that the work of the Triune God begins to take place invisibly.
He first works by the power of the throne. The answer called ‘the kingdom of God’ begins to come. Visible answers start from this point on. The work of the kingdom of God—constantly praying for this is the life of faith. It is about enjoying (24), waiting (25), and challenging (eternity—Go to all peoples, to the ends of the earth) this blessing.
Then comes the answer of transcendence of time and space (237 nations, 5000 people groups). What must be confirmed is the unprecedented-and-never-again answer given only to you. When you seek what is rightful, necessary, and absolute, you can see it clearly.
Then you come to discover the value worth staking your life on. Apart from the gospel, it is absolutely impossible. “Those who pledged their lives” – they are the ones who discovered the value worth staking their lives on.
▣ Introduction – Important biblical terms
1. The remnant – Isaiah 6:13, Isaiah 10:20–23, Zechariah 8:12
2. Sojourners – Philippians 3:20, Hebrews 11:13: those whose citizenship is in heaven
3. The scattered ones – They were taken into the great empires. To them God commanded the rebuilding of the temple.
▷ It is about establishing the throne’s bartizan, journey, and guidepost that transcend time and space, and finding your mission (40 days). Pastors should form mission churches only for evangelism, while focusing on the covenant for 40 days. The unprecedented-and-never-again answer will arise through the Word, becoming the system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation (Acts 2:42). Then the Word will be fulfilled, and you will come to know the value worth staking your life on (Acts 2:46–47). The true answer of world evangelization begins from this point. Have Summit Time holding onto this covenant.
▣ Main
1. Babylon – Testimonies of those who staked their lives
1) The three young men
2) Daniel
3) Esther
2. Those who must stake their lives – the final opportunity
1) The Word came to Haggai.
2) Speak to Joshua.
3) Deliver it to the remnant people (verse 2).
4) Tell Zerubbabel to be strong.
5) Speak to Joshua.
3. Those who will deliver it – We must leave behind to the next generation the mission to block the global spiritual disaster.
1) Is there anyone who saw the former temple?
2) Just as My Spirit was with you when you came out of Egypt, I will continue to be with you, so do not be afraid (verse 5).
3) I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the nations.
▣ Conclusion
1. “This is what the Lord says.”
2. “The glory of the latter temple will be greater than the former.”
3. The reason – the three courtyards that block the forces of darkness, the three-day weekend to save the next generation, the age of holy meditation to heal the world.
Genesis 13:18 (Abraham), the 7 Remnants (RT7), the Early Church, Paul, and the people of Romans 16 discovered the value worth staking their lives on. Now is the time to restore the strength that comes both spiritually and physically.
