Jesus told a parable about a King who left his kingdom,
instructing his ten servants to occupy and multiply what
he had given them until his return. Out of the ten,
eight hated and cursed the master and thanklessly stole
what was given them, one did nothing positive or negative
with what was given and just sat on it, but the last two
not only stood their ground but added to their
Lord’s kingdom.
This is a direct parallel to what the faithful servants of
God are to do in the world today! The eight represent
those that do not believe in God, the one that did nothing
are those that believe and fear God in word but do nothing
except live their life, and the last two are those that are
STANDING and OCCUPYING and GROWING the Kingdom in
preparation for Christ’s return.
Today, instead of holding up Godly values, there is ever increasing cultural
pressure to accept all kinds of diversity, inclusiveness
and acceptance of ANY & EVERY thought or thing no matter how
offensive or vile. Even now more than ever in a world
that is moving closer and closer to evil and away from God,
it is vital – just as Jesus said that we say NO!
“Occupy Until I Come!”
This is not a Passive Prerogative or an Optional Opinion,
but an OPERATIONAL ORDER by the commander of creation
to not just hold the ground given, but to prosper it and
prepare it for his return.
Friend, if you are in Christ, be a faithful servant in His Kingdom!
Now more than ever is the time to stand your ground, despite
political correctness, ridicule, or even persecution and OCCUPY
just as the Lord’s prayer instructs —
“Thy Kingdom Come, THY WILL BE DONE.”
Which of the ten are you?
