Be occupied till Christ comes.

Be occupied till I come 

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

Our Lord is coming back for His church , the blood bought saints of His,  during the imminent rapture.

He assured His followers of all ages that , He will certainly come back for them.

John  14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Why the host of darkness are tireless in their assaults against the readiness of the saints, because of their awareness that, they had a short time.

Revelation  12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

The Spirit of God repeatedly is exhorting the saints to rise up and be up and doing, because their time is short and our Lord could come anytime from now.

1 Corinthians  7:29 Byut this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

Romans  13:11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.  13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.  13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.  13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Firstly, Beloved Brethren arise and do everything as a wise virgin to ensure you have oil in your vessel, living a watchful lifestyle that will help you not to be caught unaware when our Lord comes.

Luke  21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.  21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.  21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

1 Peter  4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Secondly, be obedient to our Lord, by doing everything to help those in your world of influence are also ready for the coming of our Lord.

Your unsaved spouse, children, parents, siblings, inlaws close & extended relatives, neighbors, colleagues in your place of work.

Be an epistle through which Christ can be lifted up to draw them to Himself.

2 Corinthians  3:2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:

John  12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Intercede for their conversion in your secret place often and reach out to evangelize them.

Remember one unchanging requisite for eternity with Christ, is obedience.

Hebrews  5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Be obedient to Christ, occupy till He comes, first by being a wise virgin full of oil in your vessel and second being occupied to preparing those in your world of influence ready for our coming Lord.

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

Let us pray.
