About this book
In a world where believers often find themselves waiting — for breakthrough, for promises fulfilled, for Christ's return — it's easy to slip into spiritual apathy. In Occupy Till I Come, author and evangelist 'Tina Suwa delivers a stirring reminder that waiting was never meant to mean waiting idly. Rooted in Jesus's parable of the servants entrusted with a pound each in Luke 19, this mini-book explores the rich, multi-layered meaning of the word "occupy" — to subdue, to take dominion, to be in charge, to hold possession, and to do business faithfully with everything God has given us until He returns. Suwa argues that the Church today too often resembles "an army in disarray," distracted and defensive, while the enemy advances into territory that rightfully belongs to God's people. Across four compact but content-rich chapters, Suwa walks readers through: Awake, O Sleeper — a wake-up call addressing the spiritual drowsiness that has allowed the enemy to creep into hearts, homes, and nations, and an outline of the different postures believers take toward the territories in their care. What Does It Mean to Occupy? — a biblically grounded exploration of occupying as dominion, kingship, stewardship, and diligent labor — in business, ministry, family, and personal calling. Why Should I Occupy? — a rallying argument for why passivity is not an option, and why believers are called to go on the offensive rather than merely defend what little ground they have left. How Long Should I Occupy? — an encouragement for the weary and discouraged to keep holding on, regardless of delay, disappointment, or hardship, until the promise is fulfilled. Woven throughout with Scripture, real-world illustration, and heartfelt conviction, Occupy Till I Come is both a theological reflection and a personal challenge. It speaks to those who feel they've been standing still too long — encouraging singles still waiting for a spouse, believers facing illness or loss, and anyone tempted to give up just before the finish line. Short in length but rich in exhortation, this booklet is ideal for personal devotion, small group study, or as a gift to someone in need of renewed resolve. It closes with the timeless hymn "Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus," reinforcing its central message: don't quit, don't retreat — occupy, until He comes.
