From The CITY CHURCH To The DESERT CHURCH
From The CITY CHURCH To the DESERT CHURCH: THE HEAVENLY MANDATE – THAT’S ONLY POSSIBLE BY HUMILITY!
“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I WAS NOT DISOBEDIENT UNTO THE HEAVENLY VISION: 20 but shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and then to the Gentiles, that they should REPENT and TURN to God, and do WORKS meet for REPENTANCE” Acts 26:19-20.
The CITY CHURCHES and DESERT CHURCHES are not numbers, but people of God’s CREATION that WORTH every resource of the heavenly. Sometimes in the CAUSE of OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate, our absolute dedication and commitment to excellence in the Kingdom services are pruned to justify our ESSENCE – motives, in the services of God and to increase productivity in God’s terms [John 15:1-16]. And your ability to RESPOND and not to REACT in God’s terms and perspective thus indicate the assurance and faithfulness one had without prejudice, sentiment and dissimulation (hypocrisy) TOWARD God’s mandate upon one, in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in His grace. And God’s terms could be in ratios, for example 1:1000 or 1000:1, meaning it’s not by our human calculation even as it said in this scripture:
“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that ONE day is with the Lord as a THOUSAND years, and a THOUSAND years as ONE day” 2 Peter 3:8.
There are many people today, who when they are relocated from their CITY CHURCH placement of glamour and multitudes, to a more less, the DESERT CHURCH of no glamour and multitudes per excellence, they will swiftly resign from the services of such creation in terms. They may either kick start theirs as a sign and way of rebel and not of necessity, and or REACT by complaining and murmuring and in contention, throughout their time frame away from their CITY CHURCH glamour and multitude per excellence, while at the DESERT CHURCH placemen if they eventually make a move as in this holy writ:
“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not SINCERELY, supposing to ADD AFFLICTION to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.
You see this same scenario above, also in MATTERS of life when there is shift in life rankings, positions and placements, to a very different place outside our comfort zone of glamour per excellence. Some people may live through such moment, by cursing and attributing it to witch-hunts and all manner of assertions; and some other may be doing some legislative sessions to gang ups a scene in order to win support and to authenticate their spirituality to placement; and in ensuring they stay in a particular spot all through life without craving to innovative and be creative, which in essence would have helped them to initiate and explore beyond walls and be more matured and humbled in terms.
God is the only one who determines time and season with His own – Acts 17:24-31. And He’s not subject to any human factors of any sorts and does not consult any opinion to ascertain the good for His purpose and will in any man – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11. And in God’s intent to process and prune us, so that we become more effectual, productive and result oriented, His CHANGE in us in His terms is a NECESSITY, so that we can be meaningful and able to fulfill His PURPOSE and ESSENCE in us – 1 Corinthians 9:15-17; He may sometimes and most times, shift our place for His Kingdom advancement and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay as He prune us into bearing much more fruit from a no fruit bearing in His terms – John 15:1-16. If you don’t know and understand what it means to be obedient in the heavenly mandate, you will be fighting and wrestling with God and man, thinking someone else is undoubtedly undoing you in order to bring you down and rob you of who you’ve claimed you are called of God to be in Him.
However, if you want to eat the good of the Kingdom, you must humble yourself in OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE shift as Evangelist Philip did with God, irrespective of his placement in a glamour CITY CHURCH. He, in OBEDIENCE to God’s PURPOSE and CAUSES, RESPONDED instead of REACTING to the ministerial shift, from a glamour and joyful SAMARIA CITY CHURCH to a lone one member Ethiopian man DESERT CHURCH. Acts 8:1-40. Only eternity can and would be able to explain in full details, the implications of that mission to the DESERT CHURCH from the CITY CHURCH. Can you do that TODAY? Can you respond and say – YES LORD, to that next shift in your life and or Ministry? Can you afford to change job or allowed to be transferred to a less glamour place to work and do life? Have you ever question while God has PLACED you in certain places that naturally you would not have wish or want to be? Have you come to terms with your life with God, that wherever He leads, you are willing to be OBEDIENT and to say – YES LORD, and follow? These and such like you need to THINK wisely about, before you can WORTH the saying of YES to: “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE” as Evangelist Philip of Acts 8:1-40.
God is raising an ARMY today that will take the GOSPEL beyond walls of denomination and land. He’s not just raising people only into the MINISTERIAL calls but into SECULAR and CIVIC duties. And it may not likely be in the place of your CHOICE sometimes. And the God intent and essence is that through your profession you can MAKE the Gospel to the reach of all – from the CITY to the DESERT. You are that CHURCH, that God is building and raising. It’s not the denomination or cathedral architectural building as some may purport. The DESERT CHURCH is that Local and Community assembly near you, that VILLAGE and DEPRAVED PLACE that your presence is a goldmine and precious stones missionary to the people there. You don’t have to be only in Ministerial outfits to OBEY the heavenly mandate. Your skill and talent are an absolute opportunity and your AVAILABILITY is all that God needs, so that He can lavishly pour His ABILITY in you and through you to make the difference and to make it all good to become in every respect. It’s all about becoming the MISSIONARY to meet the MISSION need in your time – either by direct ministerial calling of God or through your professional skills and trade – that’s if you can envision as Apostle Paul foresee in the Apostolic days of being fully committed and dedicated to advance the cause of God’s Kingdom and to keep the enemy at bay – Acts 16:8-10.
“And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. 9 And a VISION appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, COME OVER into Macedonia, and HELP US. 10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to PREACH THE GOSPEL unto them”
I pray that you take time to examine your life very closely, in order to ensure you know and understand God’s intent for you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen; this is very important, and it’s graciousness and gracefulness for your well-being is beyond description; this knowing and understanding is good for you in context and essence, before you start legislating spirituality in ignorance, through some unwarranted and uninformed PRAYERS acts as many have done and live unfulfilled.

OCCUPY TILL I COME
OCCUPY TILL I COME: THE MASTER CHARGED UNTIL HE RETURNS!
“And he CALLED his ten servants, and DELIVERED them ten pounds, and SAID unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13.
“So he CALLED ten of his servants, and GAVE them ten minas [one apiece, each equal to about a hundred days’ wages] and SAID to them, ‘DO BUSINESS [WITH THIS] UNTIL I RETURN” Luke 19:13/Amplified.
“So he CALLED ten of his servants, DELIVERED to them ten minas, and SAID to them, ‘DO BUSINESS TILL I COME” Luke 19:13/NKJV.
To OCCUPY TILL I COME indicates a command, charged, mandate, assignment and commission to be carried out. And it must be noted that the command, charge, assignment and commission of God in Christ Jesus to every Believer’s is not an advice at all. For God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS. And His command is according to the BESTOWMENT of grace that He has given, poured, showed and lavished upon a person or group of person’s respectively.
For where there’s God’s enabling POWER and such endowments of grace, therein is the PURPOSE for it. God doesn’t give PURPOSE without enabling POWER neither does He give enabling POWER without the PURPOSE for it to accomplish meaningfully and graciously.
“And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER the apostles GAVE WITNESS to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.
“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to those who LOVE God, to those who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/NKJV.
“In Him also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINED according to the PURPOSE of Him who works all things according to the COUNSEL of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12.
And God, in placing an order and demanding any concept of a thing to be done means there is already a sufficient and sufficiency of the supply of the enabling grace to do what it will take to make the demands to be fulfilled accordingly. God driven purpose to make us fulfill meaningfully by the charge placed on us – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” – is that we might be able to enact who we ARE in Him. And that is:
– To be Earthly Useful and Heavenly Minded.
– To be a More Than Conquerors.
– To Succeed, Triumph, be Victorious and have Dominion.
– To Thrive and be Colourful and not a Survival.
– And become COMPLETE and more, as in our REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus.
The wisdom for today for the essence above thus indicated – that living a colourful and thriving life is gracious, graceful and lovely, but it’s not a give away, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard and idlers; and there’s the need to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” as mandated, charged, commissioned and commanded by our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, with the God’s given basic RESOURCES of doing life, which are these:
* Time
* Effort
* Finance
* Material
* People
And ensuring that these named resources above are being fully and meaningfully utilised is important, and that means one needs to follow appropriately and uprightly the utilisation of them, for the reality and tangibility of the PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT of the charged mandate – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.
And the knowing that ‘You ARE of God’, “You ARE BELOVED of God” should make you steadily and readily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a victor in life and godliness while you – OCCUPY TILL HE COMES. And knowing that what makes a colourful and thriving life accessible, liveable, loveable, reachable and applicable is because the greater one lives in you also.
“You ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them, because He who is IN you is GREATER than he who is IN the world. 5 They ARE of the world. Therefore they SPEAK as of the world, and the world HEARS them. 6 We ARE of God. He who KNOWS God HEARS us; he who is NOT of God DOES NOT HEAR us. By this we KNOW the spirit of TRUTH and the spirit of ERROR” 1 John 4:4-6/NKJV.
Therefore, to ensure and enact in essence the charged to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, it’s very much imperative to let the God given resources in Christ Jesus for us to do life and live godly becomes effectuate, which are these – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL and PEOPLE (PERSONNEL). We have to ensure that they do count and account for our good and goodness as given. Suffice to know that in real life definition, SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURN INSIDE OUT – which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilised one’s given resources in principle, responsibility and accountability. And by ensuring this, you can become what you want to be if you walk in wisdom with your God given resource in your day to day plan, purpose and pursuit irrespective of the challenges that comes in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead.
“Grace and PEACE be MULTIPLIED to you in the KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His DIVINE POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him who CALLED us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and PRECIOUS PROMISES, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:3-4/NKJV.
It is on this platform knowing what’s given to us for one to ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’, that one can be driven toward being EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED as scripturally mandated; more so, to live and ensure and enact the being of A MORE THAN CONQUERORS; and to live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL who is wanting to go to heaven so quickly in order to avoid and do away with the life challenges which some likely to ascertain for self-pity and escape route, supposedly.
In a nut shell, the Month October as themed could be characterised but not limited into this headings:
** You are called to ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’ – in order for you to be of EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED – and not to be the one that’s hurrying for an escape route from life principle of responsibility and accountability due to trials, challenges, circumstances and such like as written:
“And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they THOUGHT that the kingdom of God should IMMEDIATELY APPEAR. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he CALLED his ten servants, and DELIVERED them ten pounds, and SAID unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME . . .” Luke 19:11-27.
** You are CREATED and MANDATED to FRUITFUL, to MULTIPLY, to REPLENISH and to SUBDUE and to have DOMINION (Live and Reign In DOMINION) in the earth; FOR THE EARTH IS MADE FOR MAN (YOU) AND NOT THE MAN (YOU) FOR THE EARTH. This is very important to be known.
“And God said, Let us MAKE man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God CREATED man in his own image, in the image of God CREATED he him; male and female CREATED he them. 28 And God BLESSED them, and God SAID unto them, Be FRUITFUL, and MULTIPLY, and REPLENISH the earth, and SUBDUE it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.
** You are LOVED and CALLED to live – A MORE THAN CONQUERORS with ease as your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus in REDEMPTION.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE . . . 37 Nay, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:28, 37.
** You are CALLED and ASSURED to live VICTORIOUSLY in Redemption as your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus.
“But thanks be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.
** You are CALLED and CAUSE to live always in TRIUMPH in Christ Jesus, thereby manifesting the exquisite fragrance of His KNOWLEDGE in us.
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
** Your CALLED and REDEEMED to live and reign in DOMINION over sin and it’s effect – POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. Hallelujah!
“For SIN shall not have DOMINION over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:14.
“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
I pray you BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Meaning to be empowered to succeed, triumph, and be victorious and in dominion and more than conquerors, as you adhered to Christ Jesus mandate, charge, commission and command to us – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” – by being EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED, as we awaits His return. Amen!
FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me” Luke 19:11-27.

AFD OCTOBER 2023 EDITION
WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER: THE MONTH OF ENACTING THE COMMISSION – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!
“And he called his TEN servants, and DELIVERED them TEN pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13.
“So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘DO BUSINESS TILL I COME” Luke 19:13/NKJV.
Month October indicates BLESSEDNESS. And by the knowledge and understanding of the context, it’s my earnest PRAYERS that you resolve to take a step of faith in grace to ENACT the Month October theme – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” in order to fulfil the commission mandate to us all – thereby, being Earthly useful and Heavenly minded, in Christ Jesus Christ stead. Amen.
The Month OCTOBER is the TENTH month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars; and it’s the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. It comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of new beginning signifying WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE and FERTILITY. October is normally time of the year when farmers harvest their crops.
In the northern hemisphere October is usually considered the second month of AUTUMN and is commonly associated with the season of SPRING in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and AUTUMN in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.
In line with the context of the Month October theme, you can recall that in creation God gave man a commission mandate to take charge, subdue, have dominion, replenish the earth by His enabling grace as written in the Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28 and in same scenario, our God by Christ Jesus, have recalled the essence of the great commission mandate to also “OCCUPY TILL HE COME” as written in Luke 19:13. We’ve become inexcusable if we undermine this great opportunity to SERVE God acceptably and WORSHIP Him worthily in the fellowship and partnership in the terms and context of His commission mandate.
Therefore, to enact the New Creation theme mandate – “OCCUPY TILL I COME!”, thereby ensuring being Earthy Useful and Heavenly Minded” we must be driven to note it’s about the context also, to advance the Kingdom of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers and where possible accompany with fasting even as the Scripture below do enjoin.
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.
May you find fulfilment and purpose as you take on Month October and enact the theme to the fulness of the capacity that our God has endowed you with graciousnesss and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
