DO BUSINESS TILL I COME

Read: LUKE 19:11-27

Meditation verse:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age” (Matt 28: 19-20).

 

Before His departure, Jesus commanded His followers to “do business till I come”—to actively engage in Kingdom work until His return. He made it clear that each one would one day give an account of their stewardship. As Matthew 24:46–51 warns, blessed is the servant whom the Master finds faithfully serving at His coming. But the unfaithful, careless servant will face judgment.

In today’s parable, a nobleman entrusted his servants with resources and instructed them to trade with it while he was away. On his return, those who had been faithful were rewarded with rulership. But one servant, who hid his talent and produced nothing, was condemned as wicked and unprofitable.

This parable is a mirror for us today. God has entrusted you with talents, time, spiritual gifts, money, and influence. These are not for selfish use alone, but to invest in Kingdom expansion—especially in the business of soul-winning. Scripture declares, “He who wins souls is wise” (Proverbs 11:30).

Everywhere you go, in whatever you do, you are called to be a witness for Christ. This is the Father’s heart, and this is your Kingdom assignment. Be faithful in the business of the Kingdom, so that at Christ’s return, you will hear Him say: “Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your Lord” (Matthew 25:23).

 

Prayer for today:

Lord, help me to be faithful in the Kingdom business of soul winning.

 Teach me to use my time, talents, and resources for Your glory, so that when You return, I may be found profitable in Your service. Amen.

Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?
He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest."
Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.
