THE OCCUPYING ARMY

In this enlightening teaching, Prophet Edem Julius-Cudjoe presents the church as an occupying army commissioned to represent Christ, maintain godly order, serve society, and remain faithful until the King returns. He explains that believers must be careful about the voices and doctrines shaping their minds, because what they believe influences how they live, while knowing God gives direction without the endless search for personal purpose. Using the imagery of soldiers, the one-pound servant, and the Good Samaritan, he shows that Christians are not merely called to receive from the church but to be strengthened, sent, and positioned to serve, protect, build and restore those around them. Ultimately, to “occupy till I come” means refusing the shortcuts and distractions of the world, embracing God’s methods, remaining accountable and disciplined, and carrying Christ’s victory into every sphere of life where He has placed us. ------------------------------------------- Join us in person: 📅 Every Sunday @ 12:30pm GMT 📍 The Son Place (Mikaddo Plaza, Labone, Accra) 💬 Like, Comment and Subscribe to our channel.
