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.

LET JESUS SAVE YOU : Daily Devotional

  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.   - Psalm 46:1 Do you think that you are working hard but the results are not coming out? You may feel like you are at a dead end in your career. Or maybe everything you've tried to save your marriage isn't working. Perhaps your hard work has to do with raising children. No matter how much effort you put into    your child, your relationship is getting colder every day. My friend, now is not the time to give up, but to listen to your wonderful    Savior, Jesus. Listen to him. Instead of relying on your experience and knowledge, rely on Him. you are not alone. Our Lord Jesus told Peter to cast “nets” (plural in Luke 5:4). The request made no sense to Peter because he and his fishermen worked all night and caught nothing. Nevertheless, Peter said in the singular, “You say, I will let down my nets” (Luke 5:5). Naturally, the net began to break and Peter had to call    his friends for h...

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?: Daily Devotional

  And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and  Standby), that He may remain with you forever (John 14:16 AMPC). The Holy Spirit is not smoke or a cloud, nor is He a light. He's not a thing! The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. This is because He is the last of the Trinity known to us! In Genesis 1:1, God was introduced to us as “Elohim” (Hebrew). "Elohim" is the Hebrew plural for God. We are told in the second verse that "the Spirit of God hovered upon the face of the deep." Although the Holy Spirit is the first to be revealed from "Elohim", he is the last known to us because of what Jesus said to his disciples in John 14:16-17: "And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another comforter who will be with you forever; Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him and does not know him, but you do know him; ...
