“Occupy until I come.” – Luke 19:13

In the parable of the talents, Jesus gives a powerful directive to His followers: to occupy—to steward our lives with purpose and faithfulness until His return. This 30-day devotional is an invitation to align your heart, mind, and actions with this divine command.

To "occupy" is to actively engage in the work of God's Kingdom, using your time, talents, and resources for His glory. It’s more than just filling space—it's about purposefully advancing God's mission on earth. Whether in your family, your career, or your community, you are called to take ground for His Kingdom. Yet, too often, we allow distractions, fear, or complacency to keep us from stepping into the fullness of God's calling.

Through daily reflections, Scripture, and prayer, Occupy challenges you to live with intentionality and conviction. As you journey through these 30 days, you’ll be reminded that your life matters deeply in the Kingdom of God. No moment is too small to steward for His purpose, and no space is too insignificant to occupy for His glory.

The world needs believers who are steadfast and unmovable—those who occupy with purpose, taking ground for the Kingdom of God. Will you be one of them?

Let’s occupy. Let’s advance. And let’s live for the day we hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."
