Occupy until I come!!!!
The word occupy means to take back and keep that which is His aggressively.
Occupy is used 45 times in the Bible.
He is coming again in the same form as He left. Two thousand years ago, He ascended into the clouds. Are you looking for His return?
While we wait, we are to occupy? What does that mean today? If you follow Jesus, what are you doing to occupy?
Are we taking a stand in this world? Do we have influence in government, entertainment, the education of our children, and the technology that every child and adult holds in their hands every day?
Do we complain there is no prayer in our schools?
If we are to occupy, take, or possess what is His, we must be bold. He has given us the talents and gifts we will need. He has given us His love, His power to speak, to write, and to share His wonderful message with the world.
In the Old Testament, there was a man named Caleb. It says that when facing the enemy, he had a different spirit, and he followed God fully. That different spirit in Him said our God is mighty, and with Him, we can take the land, even the giants in it.
We can also say this: The enemy is defeated. Our Father has given us the tools to occupy and stand strong. We can wield His sword and shine His light in the darkness that seems to be trying to take over our world. Let us join our hands and our hearts and hold fast our positions. I urge you to discover your talents and gifts and use every possible way to share Him!!
He is our hope for a brighter tomorrow.
“And he called his ten servants and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Luke 19:13 KJV
