When God Travels – PART 2 [3 THINGS That Happens When God Travels] 当上帝的旅行。

Today, as promised, I bring you the second part of the message, WHEN GOD TRAVELS. I pray this message blesses you in Jesus’ name.

This noble man in Luke 19:12-27, according to Jesus’ parable was going into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to RETURN.

The day of his departure was here. Family and friends, his ten servants, and community members all came to bid him farewell.

But before he left, Luke 19:13 says, “And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.”

Now whiles he was gone, THREE things happened.

1. Concern Citizens Coalition – Opposition From Enemies

Verse 14 says, “But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.”

These enemies vowed to sabotage the process. They hated him. They didn’t want him to rule over them. Why did they hate this man, when the Bible says he was a noble man? Because of their own selfish desires.

They formed the pressure group, ‘Concern Citizens Coalition’ to press home their demands: “We will not have this man to reign over us.” They held Press Conferences, street march and demonstrations and probably won some sympathy from the International Community.

2. Occupying Servants

Verse 13 says, “And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.”

The faithful ones among his servants obeyed his charge: “Occupy till I come.” They had faithfulness learned their master’s trade or business whiles he was yet with them. They understood the strategies of success in their master’s line of business. They proved they were ready to work under little or no supervision.

They loved their master and had a heart for his business. They worked hard whiles their master was away.

3. Unoccupying Servants

These group are amazing to watch. They have no understanding of their master’s business. They don’t understand his investment lines, strategies, patience and sacrifices. They care less about the input.

They are only concerned with the yields and royalties of their master. They judge his returns and profits, saying, “you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.”

They didn’t love their master and had no heart for his business. They were idle whiles their master was away.

Today, the question is, which of the above things are you ENGAGED in. Our Lord Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us; to take for Himself a Kingdom, and to RETURN.

Many people are denying him, and campaigning against Jesus today. It has become their life’s mission to discredit Him as the Messiah and Son of God. They have become ‘Concern Citizens’ seeking to deny Him a Kingdom God has prepared for Him.

Others, even Christians have ignored the Lord’s command in Matthew 28:19 to spread the Gospel. They give all kinds of reasons why they are not evangelizing. They are not occupying.

Those that are busy occupying are people with a heart of love for the lost and perishing. They bring in the lost into the Kingdom of God. They carry the good news of salvation in Christ through grace. They understand that God is still in the reconciliation and salvation business. They make profit for God!

If Jesus returns today, this very minute, what will He find you doing? Will He find you…?:

A. an active Concern Citizens Coalition member

B. a faithful Occupying Servant

C. a lazy Unoccupying Servant

It wasn’t long and the noble man, the new King, returned home.
