The Story of The Businessman And His Seven Children
Continued from the “The Two Witnesses,” the LORD continues to say:
“Many of you, despite the sins of your heart and minds, are humble, sacrificially love and care for others, judge others according to My conviction, follow the voice of your Shepherd – My Son closely, kept your garments clean and washed in the Blood of the Lamb through your repentance and seeking My forgiveness constantly, praying unceasingly, interceding relentlessly for others, spending your time delighting in My Word and hiding under the Shadow of My Wings, Waiting on My Word in prayer, worship and thanksgiving, speaking with counsel and might in the courtroom of My Throne, serving and giving with humility, mercy and grace, and living in obedience through both My canonical Word, and/or spiritual revelation.
When you do these things, as a child imitating his father, then you are saved by the Blood of My Son and been given the gift of faith and through the gift of faith you have the ability to work on these things as you work on your salvation in fear and trembling.
If you do it to ‘earn’ your salvation, or because you fear hell, these will become mere works.
When these things become a yoke that is easy and burden that is light (despite natural appearance of difficulty and direness), it is no longer your flesh that is ‘doing’ but you who are alive in Christ. And for you, you will be part of the firstfruits.
If you have been given this gift before the Male Child is taken up to the Throne of God, you will be given the place of the Male Child.
If you do not receive this gift before then, you might still have a place with the Remnant and the Multitude. (They are the same).
Therefore, keep watch. Do not lose sight of the place I want to give you through this message.
If you miss it before the Male Child is taken up, your name may still be written in the Book of the Lamb, and therefore maybe a part of the Remnant. And if you miss the chance to be a part of the Remnant, you will miss the First Resurrection.
But I intensely desire that you are a part of the firstfruits (Kings and Priests in the Millennial Kingdom). And if you don’t lose sight of the things that are coming, either through this message or of others I have sent through My prophets, watchpersons, seers and dreamers, you will not miss taking your rightful place as one of the firstfruits — either as part of the Male Child or the Remnant.”
A Parable For Modern Day Application
A man is an owner of large commercial real estate, and He has many sons and daughters.
He wants all of his sons and daughters to succeed him in his business, but he knows he can only make the most capable offspring to succeed his position as the owner, and the others as directors, managers and supervisors according to their abilities.
He constantly reminded all of them at the dinner table of this, and even when he spends one to one quality time with each one — such as golfing with the oldest, woodworking with the second, fishing with the third, driving one to soccer practice and all the others according to the interests and pursuits that each one has — he would remind them of the day, he plans to ‘retire’ and for them to take positions.
All of his children know that the firstborn will succeed their father as CEO/ President/ Owner, but the positions of Vice President, Directors and Managers (kings and priests) will be given to all the others according to their abilities.
One son, the fourth out of seven children, never liked to listen to his father reminding him.
But those younger than him paid attention, because they adored their father and delighted in the trust and words of their oldest brother.
The father knew this and tried to admonish the fourth child in hopes that he would not be overtaken by his siblings. But the fourth child was stubborn. He always said ‘okay’ and dismissed his father’s advice.
While his other siblings did well and went to college and worked hard and earned degrees, the fourth child went to college, played sports, fooled around with women, drugs and alcohol and barely graduated, even though there were no financial issues and if he had emotional issues, or any other need he needed, he knew his father would have gladly paid for his well-being and recovery.
His father has been waiting for him to graduate and was getting antsy to let his beloved son to succeed him and use his talents and gifts to make the company greater than he ever could.
He waited, and he waited, until one day he said to the first son that he’s ready to retire and would like to enjoy the fruits of his lifelong work, basking at the beach with their mother or golfing with his other retired friends. So immediately there was a transition.
The oldest brother immediately took over as CEO/ Owner. And out of grace and love for his younger siblings, he asked the youngest ones — but with wisdom through their training and obedient and trust of child-like faith to him and their father through the tasks he has given them — if they would like to head the departments of their expertise as managers.
He then quickly took them under his wing and trained them personally at his CEO suite (The Harpazo) so that the employees would see the youngest ones and be amazed at their talents, intelligence, gifting and humility that their employer has bestowed upon his children.
Right at the beginning of this training, there were some cousins and other relatives who try to seize the company, saying that since their grandfather started the company, they should have places as well.
But the oldest son wanted to honor his own father’s charge upon him, so he began to try to stop them from barging into the company’s headquarters and demand from him that positions that they wanted, but were not qualified for, since all the positions have been reserved for his siblings.
Then he began inviting his middle siblings to dinners and luncheons to discuss their positions as directors/ CXO’s and told them that they shall officially take their places at their father’s Retirement Gala.
He also charged them with dealing with the relatives who want to steal their positions. So they did and after much overcoming, with legal and economic solutions, they were finally able to take their rightful places.
All this while, the oldest brother reminding the fourth child, still in school, that if he could now complete his studies, he could become one of the managers.
The fourth child asked if that was the only way to have a position. The oldest said no.
The fourth child then proceeded to say that he still needed to take a couple more classes, just so he could be in college and be a boy a little longer, so he missed becoming a manager.
Some time later, the oldest asked the fourth child about his studies, and if he would like to take a position as director. He knew his brother was not ready, but he asked anyway.
The fourth child said yes, completed his training — barely passing — and quickly returned to his home, where found out the CXO positions that he wanted, were already given to his siblings.
The oldest offered him the one remaining post, the one he had created just so his brother could hold a position, but he charged him with a project designed to test his trust in his own leadership, teachability and humility.
The fourth child failed miserably. He was stubborn, arrogant and completely shut off his parents.
While the parents were on a cruise to celebrate their coming official retirement, they sent the fourth child tweets and tried to call him on the phone and Skype, but the dismissed his mom’s gentle voicemails and ignored his father’s texts of consequences.
He even locked himself in his office, so that he could see his oldest brother through the glass, but not hear him or his instructions, other than the original project papers and protocol manuals of the company which his father wrote for the company.
He said that those little gentle voicemails of his mom and the texts and emojis from his dad, were just a waste of time.
He believed it would be more efficient and ‘safer’, to just focus on the original papers.
The oldest began to send employees to the fourth child’s office, who insisted that just following the original papers and manual were enough to work on his projects and eventually take his place as the last CXO.
Then their father returned suddenly, and because he has begun to enjoy the fruits of his legacy, he asked for the gala to be held the very next day, and hired everything and everyone he needed to make it happen the next day.
Even if he had to hire helicopters to bring in the finest champagne and wine, he would do it, not just for the wine, but for his children’s garments, the decor, the seating, the table settings and others.
In fact, all of these were already on standby, because that was how expendable his resources were to him.
Because of this suddenness, the fourth child was not ready — his project was not done and he had ignored his entire family’s advice, even the advice given through the employees.
The father completed only the preparations for his children, who were ready to take their places.
The oldest son gathered every single one of his younger siblings, who followed him as sheep follow their shepherd. The youngest ones, who were under his close supervision, were in tow as he went to meet the overcoming middle siblings.
He gathered them and took them to the grandest ballroom at the rooftop of the company’s headquarters and had all top security and employees bar uninvited guests from entering the ballroom and keep watch for uninvited guests. They were instructed to kick out all persons who were not meant to be there.
The father began to honor his new managers and CXO’s with pomp and music. And because the fourth child was not ready, he was not honored.
The fourth child was so disconnected, that he only realized at the last minute that he had to be at the gala, so he quickly went there, only to find out that the bouncers would not let him in, because he was not even wearing the right clothes!
Then they closed the door on him, as he stood outside crying.
When the gala was over, the fourth child found out his siblings has received homes and cars and gifts lavished on them though his love and benevolence, as they worked on their new positions.
And the next day, when the fourth child wanted to go back to his office, the guards would not let him in. The security team was also instructed not to let him into his father’s house.
The fourth child began to cry and beg for forgiveness. The father then hired his workers to take him to another place, so he would not cause grief or suffering for his other siblings who have been charged with the company and legacy.
The new place was like a desert to the fourth child, but he knew he was wrong and he kept crying and gritted his teeth in regret.
The father was distraught, but there is nothing else could be done, without costing him his entire family’s promised legacy.
