If you are not will acquainted with the parable, it will be very helpful to you to stop here and read it carefully before going on. This saying, “Occupy until I come,” is found in a parable in the 19th chapter of Luke, verses 11 through 27. The title of this chapter is a general all-inclusive statement, made by our Lord, which gives us instruction as to what the man of God is expected to do while Jesus Christ is not here in person. It is at this point that it is very important that the man of God understand what is expected of him as far as “bearing fruit” in his ministry is concerned.ĭoes God expect everybody that preaches to be successful in whatever his ministry is? Am I not successful if I simply defend the faith and maintain my walk with the Lord? What is the minimum requirement that God makes of me? ![]() Once it is clearly established in the mind of the apostolic preacher that he is called of God, and he has a clear understanding of what his purpose in life is and once he understands that it is a position of sober responsibility, then he must recognize that with responsibility God always gives authority. “And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, occupy till I come.” Luke 19:13
