Spiritual Warfare for Preparing Ourselves For The End
Times By Understanding The LAW OF USE
Our spiritual warfare for end times preparation is enhanced
by understanding God’s Kingdom Law of Use. The term “law” is used in this
series because we are looking at Universal Principles. The Principle or Law of
Use here is “Do business until I return.”
God’s Kingdom Law Of Use Is The Foundation Of All
Personal And Corporate Development.
In Matthew 25:14-30 Jesus tells about a rich man who is
going away on a trip (representing Jesus returning to heaven) and he distributes
different resources to each of his servants (representing the gifts each of us
have been given).
Jesus said that the point of the parable in Matthew
25:14-30 was first that while Jesus is away, the true believer is to do
something – he is to work and to work faithfully and diligently. The second
point Jesus makes in the parable is that the work will be either greatly
rewarded or severely judged.
To one servant the rich man gave 10 talents, to another he
gave two talents and to a third he gave one talent.
Here is the spiritual warfare; we are given talents or
gifts and we are to do something with what God has given us. Satan will see to
it that the world, other people and/or our own thinking are interfered with to
cause us to be ineffective. The point in this spiritual warfare is that we have
a choice as to whether we will listen to the enemy, the world or other people
and we will be either greatly rewarded or severely judged.
The Parable
In this parable, Jesus was dealing with His return from
heaven. He went “into a far country” (v. 14) and “after a long time, the Lord
returned” (v. 19). Christ was teaching a much-needed lesson: we must be
diligent and faithful, for if we are not, when He returns there will be sever
judgment.
The lesson that we must be diligent and faithful in making
use of what God has given us is the “Law of Use”. We are expected to do
business and make use of what God has given us. It goes without saying that we
must be alert to any spiritual warfare that would keep us from being diligent
and faithful.
In the parable, two servants invested what they were given,
but the third did not. When the master came back, he asked for an accounting.
The first two were praised and rewarded for their diligence, but when Jesus told
this story, the ending seemed unfair. He took away from the man who did not
invest in gave his talent to the most faithful investor, firmly announcing this
law of his kingdom: "to everyone who has more will be given … but from him who
does not have, even what he has will be taken away".
The Law of Use
In other words, if you use what is given to you, you will
gain more. If you fail to use what is given to you, you will lose even what you
think you have.
What has been given to you can be in the physical,
intellectual, financial, or relational dealings. Whatever is given you, however
small it is, use it. Use it diligently and use it on an ever-increasing scale.
Set Goals to Increase
Set goals to increase what ever you do. This applies to
all your personal and corporate development.
The spiritual warfare for the end times preparation is a
key secret of the kingdom. It allows success with the Law of Use. The Law of
Use guarantees success to any Christian who applies it – “Do business until I
(Jesus) return” requires diligent, specific, intentional work on our part and
that requires setting goals for kingdom work and often engaging in spiritual
warfare.
