April 2009: Month to Occupy Until Jesus Comes

Beloved brethren in the Lord Jesus,

Greetings and grace be multiplied to you all in Jesus name.

The good old saying goes that “when the going gets tough the tough get going.” This could not be more apt than in these tough economic times, but we all know that our God, the toughest, the Almighty whose sons and daughters we are, certainly will get going by His grace.

The Master has called us all with a holy calling (2Tim 1:9) to occupy until He comes (Luke 19:13).

In this fourth month of the year of bliss we shall surely by His grace “do business” (occupy) physically, academically, spiritually, financially etc until He comes.

By His grace we shall overcome the afflictors and persecutor (the devil) in every sphere that he may try to come against us for the spirit of God will fight for us and lift up a standard (Is 59:19) against the enemy.

Let us spend and be spent for the spread of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as we take our cities and communities for Jesus (Matt 28:19) for the coming of the Lord is nigh.

Fight the good fight of faith but hold on to eternal life (1Tim 6:12).

Let us uphold one another in these times and may the Lord bless and keep us while we occupy till He comes.

Shalom,

Pastor Chris Ogali
