How does God stir the hearts of His people according to Haggai?

In Haggai, we see that God stirs the spirit of leaders and the remnant of the people through His prophet. After years of neglecting the temple, it was the proclamation of God’s Word that moved the hearts of Zerubbabel, Joshua, and the remnant to action (Haggai 1:14). This highlights the power of God’s message and the necessity of His Spirit in prompting spiritual awakening and renewal. It serves as a reminder that sincere preaching is essential for stirring believers to acknowledge God's command and pursue holiness in their communal and individual lives.
