READ: Luke 19:11-28
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, occupy till I come.
Luke 19:13
Many people are given the Great Commission by the Lord but few end up being chosen because they do not make themselves fully occupied with the Commission. Jesus said to His servants, “Occupy till I come.” “Occupy till I come” means make yourselves busy till I come. It is important that we fill our time and our lives with the mission that God has given us.
You are alive to fulfil the commands and instructions of the Lord. He has given you something to live for.
Perhaps you are called to the ministry! Perhaps God wants you to be a pastor, an evangelist or an apostle. It is sad to see pastors who do not give themselves to develop the art of growing churches.
It is sad to see apostles who do not have the vision of planting thousands of churches. It is sad to see evangelists who do not give themselves to winning as many souls as possible. The fields of harvest lie there, waiting for true evangelists to arrive and come to the rescue of the dying souls in the world.
There are people that are called to be teachers but do not give themselves to the art of teaching. Many of us are simply not occupied with the task that God has given to us. We have not occupied our lives with the great work that has been presented to us.
Stand up today and do what God has told you to do! If God has told you to write songs, spend all your time writing songs, singing them and making them known to people. Occupy yourself with the call of God! You will shine like a star as you occupy yourself with what God has given you!
