The story of the ten virgins
Text:
Romans 13:8-14, Matthew 25:1-13.
Are
you preparing for the rapture?
Are
you ready?
Be
ready, Jesus is coming soon!
Awake!
Stop sleeping.
CHARACTERISTICS
OF THE TEN VIRGINS
1. They were all chosen
2. They all have lamp. What makes the lamp
to burn is oil and the oil is the Holy Spirit. Are you born again?
3. They were all purified (consecrated for
God). How do you see yourself?
You
can’t get your satisfaction from any human being. The longing of your soul can
only be satisfied by Jesus.
Learn
to walk with the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God in you building up the power of
God in you (practical Christianity by the Holy Spirit).
We
can dry the Holy Spirit, He can leave us.
THINGS
THAT DRY UP THE OIL (HOLY SPIRIT)
1 Strife – fight/abuse.
2 Lying.
3 Disconnection from the Holy Spirit –
doing your own things, doing your own permissive will and not the perfect will
of God.
4 Love of the world. James 4:4 something
may not be sinful but might not be permitted by God for you. Walk with God and
be His friend. Desire more of God, dedicate your life to the Lord and don’t
take it back.
5 Bitterness.
WHAT
MAKES FOR EXTRA OIL?
1 Humility and obedience. Philippians
2:5. Live a life connected to the Holy Spirit, hear Him, obey Him and be full
of Him. You are going to be lifted when you are humble. The way to deal with
the devil is obedience and humility.
2 Always be prepared. Be a vessel unto
honor fit for the Master’s use.
3 Being sensitive. Be connected to the
Holy Spirit.
4 Be Word full – full with the Word of
God. Go beyond the morning devotion, study to show yourself approved.
5 Have faith. 2 Peter 3:4-9
6 Be prayerful. Be conscious of Heaven.
7 Take responsibility for your spiritual
growth.
8 Be available for God’s use and
service.
In
conclusion, the oil dries gradually.
Sharpen
your spiritual gifts in the place of prayer, worship and study of the Word of
God.
If
the church is sleeping, don’t join the church to sleep.
The
church should allow you to grow.
Are
you growing spiritually?
Do
something before Jesus come, give oil to others – introduce them to Jesus and
make them grow.
What
is the Lord asking you to do to touch lives positively?
Let
the Lord give you oil in your lamp to keep you burning till the break of day.
Song
I’m
a new creation
I’m a brand new man
Old things are past away, I’m born again.
More
than a conquer that’s who I am
I’m a new
creation, I’m a brand new man.
