Dear Friends,
The words of Jesus in Luke 19:13, “Occupy till I come,” ring as a clarion call to every believer. This is a divine mandate to stay active, productive, and impactful in this year of FAITH LEGACY. It is a call to action, a charge to embrace purpose, and a reminder that our time, talents, and treasures are to be used for His glory.
From papa’s message today, we want to ignite within everyone fresh fire to Occupy Till He Comes!
1. BUILDING MOMENTUM WITH POSITIVITY
At the House of Praise, we are a family of faith, hope, and love. Positivity is the fuel that propels us forward as we fulfill God’s mandate. The Apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians 4:8, “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
As we embark on this journey, let positivity define our outlook:
-Speak life:
Let your words encourage, uplift, and motivate one another.
-See the possibilities: Challenges are only stepping stones for breakthroughs.
-Celebrate victories: Every soul saved, every life touched, and every step forward is a testimony of God’s faithfulness.
Together, we can create an atmosphere where faith flourishes and dreams are birthed.
2. FOSTERING PRODUCTIVITY
To occupy effectively, we must be productive, maximizing every opportunity to do the work of the kingdom. Jesus likened us to servants entrusted with talents, expecting us to multiply them (Matthew 25:14-30).
Remember, productivity is not just about being busy; it’s about bearing fruit that lasts.
Here’s how we can collectively increase our productivity:
-Engage actively in ministry: Whether through evangelism, discipleship, or serving in various capacities, there is work for everyone in the house.
-Sharpen your skills: Attend workshops, training sessions, masterminds and Bible studies to equip yourself for greater impact.
-Invest your time wisely: Prioritize activities that align with kingdom goals, ensuring every moment counts for eternity.
Imagine what we can accomplish when everyone steps into their God-ordained role with zeal and determination!
3. A VISION FOR MASSIVE SOUL WINNING EXPLOSION
Soul-winning is at the heart of our mission. The Great Commission which is our mandate, compels us to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). At the House of Praise, London, we believe that now is the time for a massive explosion in soul-winning.
To achieve this:
-Pray fervently: Let’s commit to interceding for our city, families, and workplaces, asking God to draw souls to Himself.
-Share your faith boldly: Whether through one-on-one conversations, social media outreach, or group evangelism efforts, let’s proclaim the Good News with courage.
-Invite intentionally: Every service, program, and event is an opportunity to introduce someone to Jesus. Who will you invite this week?
We are the light of the world and the salt of the earth. London is our mission field, and the harvest is ripe. Together, we can fill every corner of our city with the love and truth of Jesus Christ.
4. THE TIME IS NOW
This is not a season for passivity or procrastination; it’s a season for action. The King is coming soon, and He expects to find us faithfully occupying—building His kingdom, growing His church, and expanding His influence.
House of Praise, let’s rise together in unity and purpose. Let us:
Be positive in your outlook.
Stay productive in our efforts.
Pursue a massive explosion in soul-winning with fervor.
As we occupy till He comes, may we experience unprecedented growth, favor, and testimonies, all to the glory of God. The time to act is now. Let us arise and shine, for our light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon us!
With love and blessings,
Pastor Yemi Adeleke
