Haggai 1: my own house vs the Temple

Haggai is a prophet who talks to the Jews who returned from Babylon during the reign of king Darius, in special, he talks to the governor of Judah: Zerubbabel (descendant of David) and to the high priest. He says:

2 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: “The people procrastinate. They say this isn’t the right time to rebuild my Temple, the Temple of God.”
3-4 Shortly after that, God said more and Haggai spoke it: “How is it that it’s the ‘right time’ for you to live in your fine new homes while the Home, God’s Temple, is in ruins?”

in other words: where is your priority? in your own house or in the temple?
He says that the Lord is punishing this behavior because they work in vain, they use money but get nothing in return. He follows:

9-11 “And why?” (This is a Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies, remember.) “Because while you’ve run around, caught up with taking care of your own houses, my Home is in ruins. That’s why. Because of your stinginess. And so I’ve given you a dry summer and a meager crop. I’ve matched your tight-fisted stinginess by decreeing a season of drought, drying up fields and hills, withering gardens and orchards, stunting vegetables and fruit. Nothing—not man or woman, not animal or crop—is going to thrive.”

In Haggai days, there must be many synagogues (that appeared in Babylon captivity) where Jews had communion, but the temple was special because in there, the Jews could exercise some activities such as sacrifices for their sins and more specially to celebrate the Passover and other feasts. The temple meant the presence of the Lord among his people. Interestingly, for us Christians, the temple as a building doesn't look so important. According to the Messiah himself, He is the temple who lived (physically) among us. Perhaps this passage could be used by some pastor when building a church, but I think, it would be a misuse of this passage.

The people listened to the prophet Haggai and understood that he had a message from the Lord.

13 Then Haggai, God’s messenger, preached God’s Message to the people: “I am with you!” God’s Word.

It reminds me the movie "star wars": "may the force be with you"; but here, it is the Lord himself saying "I am with you!" by the prophet. May the Lord be with us, may we prioritize our communion with Him.
