Topic: Occupy Till I Come (2)
Scriptures: Luke 19:13, Revelation 16:15, John 14:1, John 3:27
Sermon
The Christian life requires diligence, steadfastness, and purposeful effort as we await the second coming of Christ.
As believers, we are called to diligently wait for the Lord. However, waiting does not mean remaining idle. While we wait, God has entrusted each of us with gifts, abilities, opportunities, and kingdom resources that we are expected to use for His glory.
One day, we will stand before the Lord and give an account of how we used everything He placed in our hands.
Whatever gift God has given you, remember that there is a divine expectation attached to it. It is your responsibility to discover your God-given gifts and use them faithfully.
When Jesus said, “Occupy till I come,” He was calling us to actively engage what He has entrusted to us and make it fruitful for His Kingdom.
Being born again gives us a relationship with God, but we must continually grow in our walk with Him and live in readiness for His coming.
Lessons
Everyone born of God will one day give an account before the Lord. Be ready.
You were not created merely to exist and pass away; God created you to make an impact.
As a child of God, you are expected to be remembered for something good and kingdom-minded.
Do not allow the gifts, opportunities, and resources God has placed in your hands to go to waste.
A time will come when there will be no opportunity to correct what was left undone. Do not wait until it is too late.
God expects us to be faithful stewards of everything He has entrusted to us.
Discover your gift. Develop it. Deploy it for God's Kingdom.
While we wait for Christ's return, occupy, serve, and remain faithful.
Glory to God
