Be Occupied for Christ
Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
There is one assignment Christ our Master and Lord has given to all Bible believing believers of all ages and you in particular.
It is for us all to be occupied in advancing His kingdom in our world of influence.
Meaning we have to reach out to our unsaved spouse, children parents, the siblings, in-laws, neighbors and colleagues in the office etc.
He affirmed same in His farewell messages in the gospel of Matthew and Mark.
Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
But then each time we go in obedience to this great commission, our Lord Jesus Christ our Master and Lord backs us up by confirming His words with signs and wonders.
Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
This was the experience of Philip when he went to Samaria.
Acts 8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. 8:6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 8:7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8:8 And there was great joy in that city.
It was the experience of Paul and Barnabas when they went to Iconium.
Acts 14:1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed. 14:2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren. 14:3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
The good Lord is calling all of us again to commit ourselves to the great commission for multitude to be prepared for the imminent rapture.
He will surely reward our obedience in Jesus name.
1 Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
His unfailing grace will be sufficient for you in Jesus name
2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
