“And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.” Mathew 25:8-9. (KJV)
Your lamp will not go out in Jesus name. We are closer to the second coming of Christ than ever and we must study the scripture to adequately prepare ourselves. Hear the word of the Lord: extra oil is needed to make it.
Beloved, you need to be serious with your Christian walk and pay the price to generate the extra oil needed to be counted worthy at the return of Christ. There is no room for the flesh driven, lamp out, lukewarm Christians when He returns. The fact that the wise virgins told the foolish virgins to go and buy indicates that price is involved in generating the oil. The price include taking covenant responsibility, living bible-based life, putting God’s will first in our lives and spending time with God. You must stand out as a Christian in this corrupt world.
Most of us are carried away with our quest for wealth. Listen! True wealth comes by living a life of service and obedience to God. Such wealth comes without sorrow and does not take heaven from you. For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36). Wealth acquired in an unrighteous way will lead to hell fire. We must not forget that wealth is part of the covenant and God is willing to give it to us.
As we consider this, let me ask you at what level is your oil? You can generate more now.
I ask God to keep you in His way in Jesus name. If you are not yet born again, repent now for He comes soon.
