The
Vision

The vision for this ministry
is based on the following
passage of scripture:
Luke
19:12-13
He said, a
certain nobleman went into a far country
to receive for himself
a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten
servants,
and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them,
"Occupy till I
come".
Pastor Chuck Smith's
Commentary
(Tape 8063)
So here is “a certain nobleman who went to a far country
to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants,
and delivered them ten pounds, and he said unto them, Occupy till I come. This
is dealing with diligence with the things that are God’s, with that which God
has entrusted in your life. Using what God has entrusted unto you.
The
command is, Occupy till I come. That is still the order of the Lord for us.
Occupy till I come. We are not to try to guess the day and the hour that the
Lord is going to return and then plan our lives accordingly. Go out and run up
all of our credit cards to the limit thinking, I won’t have to pay for these.
The Lord is coming soon. But the command is to occupy until He comes. Stay busy
about His work.
What
have you done or what are you doing with what God has entrusted into your
keeping? One day you’re going to give an answer to the Lord as you
will be required to stand before Him and to give an accounting to Him of what He
has entrusted into your keeping. Are you occupying? Are you using that which God
has invested in you for the kingdom of God and for its expansion? You see,
that’s why when the kingdom of God does come, many people who have been very
prominent in the worldly affairs and in worldly things will be heavenly paupers.
And many people who have been earthly paupers will be rulers over large
territories. It’s your faithfulness in using what God has entrusted to you.
Using it for Him and for His glory.
To
God be the Glory!
