Occupy Till I Come : Teachings

Occupy Till I Come : Teachings

 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come (Lk. 19:13 KJV)


Living for God and working for God are two sides of the same coin. God has  life for us to live and work. A healthy relationship with God is a necessary foundation, but the Lord also works on earth. He wants us to  actively participate in it. Therefore, loving Jesus, living a holy life, or attending a large church is not enough. We must be actively involved in my father's business.


The parable of a nobleman distributing his money to his servants reveals how God feels about our involvement in activities that promote His interests on earth. In this parable, a nobleman distributed his property to his servants and went to a faraway land. Before leaving, however, he ordered his servants to "occupy until I come." His orders made clear his expectations: he wanted the servants to do something with what they had received. 


The terms used in this parable mean to do business or trade. This implies the idea of ​​using initial capital to generate profits through various business activities. So there are at least three key ideas embedded in it. Seed capital, active trading or business involvement, and making a profit. But predictably, the moral of this parable is metaphorical rather than literal. This parable teaches us about God's expectations of the gifts He gives us. The first capital letter represents the gift that God has given us. Active trade represents spiritual activity in the service of people. Profits represent the benefits we get for the kingdom of God.


We are busy in God's house, using our gifts to minister to others, to bring in the lost, to build up the saints, and to expand the kingdom of God. He watches over the impact of our lives, resources, time, talents and activities on others. Remember, as I  taught earlier, service is essentially service to people. All of these are important, but not primarily titles, buildings, personnel, or material resources.


Live in the house of God until Jesus comes. And he will come soon. Your life, time, gifts and resources should be put to good use in building God's house: bring in new stones (lost victories) and polish the living stones already in the building ( strengthen or build up the church). You like a fig tree that  was fresh and leafy (love Jesus, live a holy life, etc.) but bear no fruit (no indication of the gift the Father has given you) don't let me find.

HIS NAME HAS POWER IN
ALL THREE WORLDS: Daily Devotional

  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is  above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things  in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth - (Philippians 2:9-10). If Jesus really did give us the legal right, that is, authority, to use His name, what results should we expect from using His name? What is so important about the name of Jesus? What does His name represent and why should we have so much faith in Jesus' name? We have the answer in our first scripture. Notice the construction; is absolute. It says, "At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow"; that is a sovereign decision, a law in the realm of the spirit. Hallelujah! This sovereign decree applies in heaven, on earth and under the earth (in hell). His name has power in the three worlds; this power is applied to "things," that is, everything that exists in the three worlds; be it thrones, governments, galaxies, principalities, pow...

The Key to Receiving!: Daily Devotional

  “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:24 (KJV) Using the right key will always open the door to blessings in your life. Jesus Christ has all the secrets to make life endless joy (John 8:12). The key to the effectiveness of your prayer is believing that you have received everything you asked for. When you have this awareness, prayer time always becomes a time of joy and celebration, knowing that your prayers have been answered. Beloved, before you stop praying, get the conviction that Your prayers have been answered. Keep believing that you have received it, give thanks and praise to God; Keep that attitude until you actually have it (Mark 9:23).
