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.

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

  Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations.

Walking By Faith - Daily Devotional

Verse: "For we walk by faith, not by sight." - 2 Corinthians 5:7 (ESV) Devotional: As Christians, our journey is one of faith. We are called to walk by faith, not by what we see or understand with our natural senses. This can be both a challenging and a rewarding path. Walking by faith means trusting in God's promises even when circumstances seem uncertain or difficult. It means believing that God's plan is greater than our understanding. Imagine walking in a dense fog, unable to see more than a few steps ahead. In life, we often face situations where we can't see the road ahead clearly. It's during these moments that our faith is put to the test. But just as a person walking in the fog relies on each step they take, we can rely on God with every step we take in our faith journey. The Bible tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). It's like having a confident assurance in God's promises e...
