Then you see four people trying to make it up the icy street, crawling on all fours. They are all progressing steadily, and just as they are approaching the top of the street, one of them gets up too soon.<!--more--> His sudden movement sends him sliding back down the street. All the ground he had gained, lost in an instant. Do not get up too soon.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Do not sprout too soon, take your time to grow your roots. Take the territory, be planted, take the roots and <span class=\"s1\">Grow<\/span>. In your life, the time of losing grounds has come to an end in the Mighty Name of Jesus. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/LUK.13.18-19\">Luke 13:<sup>18-19<\/sup> <\/a>\u201c<i>Then Jesus said,\u00a0\u201cWhat is the Kingdom of God like? How can I illustrate it?\u00a0 It is like a tiny mustard seed that a man planted in a garden; it <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>grows<\/i><\/b><\/span><i> and becomes a tree, and the birds make nests in its branches<\/i>.\u201d [emphasis added]. The fourth thing you need to do to occupy is you have to <span class=\"s1\">Grow<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">In fact, your growth will be inevitable if you do the first three things. You have to grow in God, and you must remember that it is stewardship, meaning you will give account. Jesus said in<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/1\/LUK.19.13\"> Lu.19:<\/a><sup>13 <\/sup><i>\u201c\u2026Occupy <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>till I come<\/i><\/b><\/span><i>.\u201d<\/i> (KJV). How long should we occupy? How long should you read your Bible? Till you overcome the depression? Till you overcome the rough patch? Some people read their Bible and do confessions until they overcome the problem, then they go to sleep.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Jesus says \u2026<i>Occupy <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>till I come<\/i><\/b><\/span>. How long should I be faithful and pay my tithe? Till Jesus comes and not just until I get out of debt. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/2016\/LUK.19.13\">Lu.19:<sup>13<\/sup><\/a><b> <\/b><i>\u201c\u2026and said to them, \u2018Do business with these <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>until I come back<\/i><\/b><\/span><i>.<\/i>\u2019\u201d\u00a0(NRSV, emphasis added). <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/LUK.19.13\">Lu.19:<sup>13<\/sup><b> <\/b><\/a>\u201c<i>\u2026saying, \u2018Invest this <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>for me<\/i><\/b><\/span><i> while I am gone<\/i>.\u2019 [emphasis added]. It is for who? So, the territory we are taking, the planting that is taking place, and the taking root, we are doing it for Jesus. The growth that will come inevitably is also for Jesus. It is all for my king, it is all for your king. It is all for Jesus. So, occupy until He comes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www2.bible.com\/en-GB\/bible\/116\/LUK.19.17\">Lu.19:<sup>17<\/sup> <\/a>\u201c\u2018<i>Well done!\u2019 the king exclaimed. \u2018You are a good servant. You have been faithful with the little I entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten <\/i><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>cities<\/i><\/b><\/span><i> as your reward<\/i>.\u2019 [emphasis added]. In other words, Jesus is saying what you do here and now will affect the reward you get when He comes to rule the world physically. His disciples thought Jesus had come to establish the physical Kingdom. Remember, Jesus went to receive a Kingdom. You and I are to occupy and to expand the invisible Kingdom. When Jesus comes back with His Kingdom to rule from Jerusalem, your position in His cabinet will be determined by how you occupy. Some people will get countries, some people will get continents, and some people will get estates. This is just my imagination and not in the Bible. What I am saying is, how we occupy with the invisible Kingdom will determine how we are rewarded in the physical Kingdom when Jesus comes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Prayer<\/b>: Father, thank You for the areas of influence You have given to me, help me occupy till You return, in Jesus Name.
