Occupy Till Jesus Comes Back — Turning Your Busyness into Impact
“Occupy Till Jesus comes.” Pretty simple statement from the Bible (Luke 19:13); right? What did Jesus meant when He said that. He was affirming that instead of we focusing on His second coming, we should be involved in using the gifts He has entrusted us to serve one another. Fulfilling purpose is a primary priority in Christ.

The Inworking and Outworking Aspects of Salvation in Christ
Salvation is for every person on earth because Jesus came to die for all. But it’s not just a mere escape from hell.

The inworking and outworking aspects of salvation are written in Philippians 2:12-13, and knowing them will help you to understand your walk with God.
Four Prerequisites to Effective Fasting for Christians
Jesus said that when the bridegroom (Himself) had been taken from them (signifying his crucifixion, resurrection and ascension to heaven), then they would fast (not “can fast”).

And knowing them will be of great help to you spiritually.
The Principle of Single-Focusing
Vision gives birth to purposeful living. And your purpose determines your discipline, which in turn, adds value to your time. Until you focus on what God has called you to do, you’ll not see much fruition in it.
