*My Testimony* : few years ago, I finished from OAU with the usual uncertainty of what is obtainable for me in the Labour market. As it is a custom for pharmacy and medical students to do a compulsory internship/housemanship, I was enthusiastic about the place and hospital to apply for a placement.

I applied in five different hospitals and went for interview in all of them. I was in a bus to the venue of one of the hospitals, immediately we entered this town of which I have not been for the first time, I had the word, “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. This came clearly as a father speaking to his son. I didnt know when I blew tongues such that the people sitting beside me started asking me what the problem was.

After this revelation, I went in to pray and the Lord took me to Luke 19:13, Which happen to be our team for this year’s reunion. I searched the word in four different versions,

” And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, *Occupy till I come* KJV

“Before he left, he called his ten servants and gave them each a gold coin and told them, *”see what you can earn with this while I am gone”* GNB

And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, *Do business with this till I come* NRSV

Calling ten of his servants, he gave them ten minas, and said to them, *‘Engage in business until I come.’* ESV

It became clearly to me that I must occupy this town doing Kingdom business. And as I settled to this great revelation, everything I laid my hands to do in this land prospered.

I was chosen virtually in all the other hospitals I applied for internships but because I have heard of the Lord to Occupy the land, I neglected all others to settle down where the Lord has instructed. Within few years, the Lord made me to do exceeding exploits in the land.

There is a place for revelation as we occupy till he comes. You need to hear from him before you undertake any venture in life. Many Christians are praying but many are not hearing from God. It is not your hard work that showcases you to the world, *it is what God reveals to you that reveals you to your generation*

👉Kindly help tell every young man (and lady) around you not to waste their youthfulness and strength studying UNUSABLE Masters abroad to obtain UNNEEDED certificate if the Lord has not commanded. The time of using traveling as a criteria for success is Past! *You must be Led by the LORD before embarking on such destiny-transforming Decision!*

Painfully, some childhood friends were lost in the market of traveling abroad, and now, they try to settle down in another African Country, for shame of coming back to Nigeria with nothing but debt and stories.

It is expedient to get yourself grounded in a Direction or Skill that is connected to the real person God created you to be. Unmask the facade that education gave you. If you have to do a Masters Degree or 3rd degree, choose the one that would enhance the true nature inside you.

God is running the fake mechanics and artisans out of market
(Taye-the-carpenter, Kazeem-the-mechanic, Mustafa-the-rewire etc) using the okada riding to lure them from apprenticeship and training.

God is raising a new breed of Bezaleel and Aholiab (Exodus 31; 36:2), men that will do valiantly with an Excellent Spirit. They are not after client’s money so to speak, but they create Value and Solve Problems, which naturally attracts funds.

Let us discourage young men from wasting their lives, times and the expensive dollars on that which is not bread!

Spend the same youthfulness and money to set up the modern garage or gather tools or on the peculiar journey of your Destiny.

Together, we can create the White man’s environment in the remotest village in Nigeria.

Before  you take that step, have you inquired of the Lord? You have to inquire it before you can acquire it. Many of us are frustrated because we don’t hear from him. The more we hear from the master, the better we occupy our territory doing kingdom business till he comes.

How then can I hear from him?

*Engage in word study* – the word of God carries power and deep revelation

*Engage in Meditation* meditative enquiry with the word reveals hidden truth on your kingdom occupation.

*pray, pray and pray*

*PRAYER POINTS*

2. Lord I want to hear more of you in my kingdom assignment

👉 You shall never make mistakes in occupying your kingdom business

👉 The grace to continuously hear from the Lord in your kingdom assignment receive in Jesus name. Amen.
