In the sermon 'Occupy Till I Come' by Conrad Mbewe, the speaker emphasizes the importance of using the opportunities and abilities God has given us to advance His cause and glorify Him. He urges individuals and families not to hide in fear during difficult times, but to act with wisdom and innocence, ensuring that God's mission continues. Mbewe highlights the danger of being like the lazy servant who hid his talents, stressing that God wants to use us as instruments to create the families, churches, and societies He desires. The sermon encourages active engagement and contribution to God's work, regardless of circumstances.

God has given us as individuals and us as families opportunities and abilities. And He expects us to use those opportunities and abilities for his cause and for his glory. We are not, especially in bad times, to go into hiding for fear of what might happen to us. We must use our intelligence, of course. We must be wise, as wise as serpents, as innocent as doves, but ensure that God's cause continues, whichever way we can, so that in the end we have families that God wants us to have, we have churches that God wants us to have, and we even have societies that God wants us to have because we are the instruments in his hands.

We cannot afford to do what that foolish and lazy servant did of hiding the talents in the ground and then saying, well we knew you were sovereign, you could do whatever you please and so forth. No, no, no, no. God wants to use us. So occupy until I come.
