ECWA THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, KAGORO Monday Chapel Update – Provost Week (January–May 2026)
Congregational Hymn; 642
SPEAKER:
Rev. Dr. Friday Sule Kassa
(The Provost)
THEME:
Faithful Stewards in a Waiting House When the Master Returns
TOPIC:
The Reality of Divine Inspection
TEXT:
Luke 12:46–48
FOCUS:
“What Would the Master find if He comes now?”
The Provost week today began by calling on us to a deep and sober reflection on our identity as stewards in God’s house. We are not owners; we are caretakers. And one truth stands firm: the Master will return. In the Gospel of Luke 12:46–48, Jesus presents a striking picture of a servant who became careless because he assumed the master was delayed. That assumption led to negligence, indiscipline, and eventual judgment. He continues by saying the danger is not ignorance, but false security. In a similar way, many today live as though there will be no inspection. We serve when watched, pray when convenient, and act holy only when visible. But Scripture reminds us that there is a coming moment of divine inspection.
Key Truths to Emphasize
- The Master’s Return is Certain
In Luke 12:36, we are told to be like men waiting for their master. His return is not a possibility; it is a certainty.
THE QUESTION IS NOT IF HE WILL COME, BUT WHEN.
- Divine Inspection is Personal
“...the servant who knew his master’s will...” (Luke 12:47)
God will not judge us based on others, but based on what we knew, what we were given, and what we did. The more you know, the more is required.
- Spirituality is a State, Not an Event
Spirituality is not:
Chapel attendance alone, but it is a requirement.
Outward appearance, but it is important to dress well.
Occasional emotional moments.
Spirituality is:
A consistent life before God.
Integrity in secret places.
Faithfulness when no one is watching.
“Spirituality is not eye-service.”
God is not impressed by performance; He is concerned with condition.
The servant in the text failed because he thought: “My master delays…”
That mindset leads to carelessness, compromise, and spiritual laziness.
But delay does not mean absence.
THE MASTER IS STILL COMING.
Hymn 791 was sung at the end of the Chapel. See you tomorrow for another moment with the Provost.
