FULL PREPARATION

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: FULL PREPARATION

Mathew 25

One of the most striking facts about this story if you have been following us is how similar the ten virgins appear on the surface:

· All had been invited the banquet and all had responded positively.

· All ten had gone out to wait for the bridegroom.

· All of them had their lamps with them.

· All the virgins wanted to see the bridegroom.

· All were in the right place at the right time for the right reason.

· All of them wanted to go to the wedding banquet.

· All had some oil in their lamps at the beginning.

· All fell asleep while waiting for the bridegroom.

· All were awakened by the midnight cry.

· All ten virgins got up to prepare their lamps.

· All appeared to be equally prepared for the bridegroom’s coming.

That last statement is crucial. Let’s suppose that we were to ask the ten virgins to stand in front of us in no particular order. Could you pick out the five foolish virgins? Answer: no,
I submit to you that there was no way to tell in advance who was wise and who was foolish. To the untrained eye, they would all look the same.

But somethings reveal the secrete of why they were foolish, the foolish LACK OF FULL PREPARATION, ACTS OF NEGLIGENCE AND FAILURE TO SEE BEYOND THEIR PRESENT NEED...
It's a pity that many don't know what they need now to rest in peace at the end of their life,

Genesis 30:30 KJV
For it was little which thou hadst before I came , and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the Lord hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?

All you need now is Jesus, because without Jesus you can't go to the father, he is the door. John 14:6 KJV
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name you will end well, you will not die in sin, Satan will lose the battle of your soul.
