IMPACT YOUR WORLD WITH PURPOSE AND URGENCY
Occupy till I come (Luke 19:13).
The Lord Jesus used the words above when He spoke to the people in parables about the Kingdom of God. The statement is a call to active engagement,
a call to impact your world with purpose and urgency. Take territories. Grow the Kingdom, and maximize every opportunity to impact and transform the nations with the Gospel until the Master’s return.
You’ve been entrusted with the Gospel, and with it comes responsibility: “According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust” (1 Timothy 1:11). So, make an impact with the Gospel. There’s work to be done: souls to reach, systems to penetrate, and lives to transform. Don’t be idle or distracted.
Your manner of life has to reflect and show that you’re waiting for the Master’s return. Mark 13:35-36 says, “Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.” Don’t let Him come back and find you sleeping or doing nothing. Let Him find you working.
He said in John 9:4, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” This is the example He set for us: to be active in soul winning. Be that faithful servant, fully engaged in leading sinners to salvation. You’ve been empowered to be a witness of the resurrected Christ.
Acts 1:8 says, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” The Holy Spirit is your enabler; He grants you wisdom, boldness and guidance as you influence your world with the Gospel.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for entrusting me with the Gospel and empowering me by your Spirit to be a witness of Christ. I function with divine wisdom, urgency and purpose, taking territories and transforming lives everywhere, fully engaged in the end time global harvest of souls into the Kingdom, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
If you’re blessed by this devotional, believing every words you heard by faith in your heart, and would love to make Jesus the lord of your life, then speak the confessions below out loud, and mean them with your heart:
“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”
