he teaching reminds us that the King—Jesus—is coming, and until He returns, His command to believers is: “Occupy till I come.”

Using the parables of the pounds and the talents, the message explains that:

• God has given every believer something to use for His kingdom.

• He expects faithfulness, growth, and impact with what we have received.

• Faithful believers will be rewarded, while unfaithful ones lose even the little they kept.

The purpose of our assignment is clear:
To advance God’s kingdom on earth until the kingdoms of this world become the kingdom of our Lord.

We accomplish this through:

• Holiness

• Spiritual power

• Obedience

• Wielding the authority of kings and priests through Christ

Holiness gives power. Without holiness, there is no spiritual authority.

We are God’s volunteer army, called to stand in righteousness, make godly decrees, and allow God’s power to pull down every stronghold.

In summary:
Live holy, stay faithful, use your gifts, and keep advancing God’s kingdom—because the King is coming.
