When he delay

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: WHEN HE DELAY

Matthew 25:5 KJV
While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

When he is delayed, they all fall asleep. At midnight someone shouts the good news, “Behold, the bridegroom is coming!” The virgins wake up and prepare to relight their lamps, which had gone out while they slept. Five of the virgins had brought extra oil and so could relight their lamps. Five had no extra oil. When the first group asked to borrow some from the other five virgins, they were refused. While they went off to buy some oil, the bridegroom appeared and the five virgins whose lamps were lit went in with him to start the party. The door was shut by the time the other five virgins returned. Here is the sad end of the story, “Later the others also came. ‘Sir! Sir!’ they said. ‘Open the door for us!’ But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you’” (Matthew 25:11-12). Jesus makes a simple application to his Second Coming in verse 13, “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”

That’s the story. It’s a little slice of life from a wedding that went haywire. The focus of the story is on the ten virgins. Five were wise and five were foolish. Five had oil and five didn’t. Five were ready and five weren’t ready. Five entered the wedding banquet and five were refused. All of this is meant to teach us that some people will be ready and others won’t be ready when Jesus returns to the earth.

Which category do you fall, five wise or five foolish, what can make one to be a fool is to hear the call to salvation and reject it.
Hell is real, Jesus is the way to heaven, salvation is free, all you need is to accept Jesus and heaven will be yours.

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name you are saved and may the door of favour and opportunities not shut against you,
