Reading:Matthew 25:1-13
Thanks and praise to our dear lord who is striving to mold us for his kingdom by giving us the oil for eternal life.
• We all are aware, invited to enter the Kingdom of god and is waiting for the second coming of Jesus. How are we accepting and responding to the invitation of God? How are we waiting? Are we ready ?or are we forgetting?
• we all have the Lamps. But do we have oil to light it when Jesus is coming,for us to be seen glowing?
Or are we forgetting to take the oil?
• Let us check our lamps. Are they under something? Why are we desiring to shine? What is our intention in doing many things?
• As we wait for our lord, let us strive to increase the oil by allowing it to flow into us from our lord by abiding in him in faith and doing as he says- let us strive for the spiritual by living in spirit- listening more to holy spirit and doing only what the holy spirit guides us.
• the holy spirit guides us to know and do the father's will and his fire will purify us from all that is not of the lord's in us. So that when we hear the notice of trumpets in body and soul, we will be able to appear with lamps lighted thus our soul shines magnifying the glory of lord through all we have done.
• Prepare our soul for the eternity. Let us check the status of our soul. Let us empty ourselves just like Jesus has shown us and by faith through his Grace live filling in spirit. Amidst all storms of trials or showers of blessings let our soul always cling to our lord Jesus,eyes fixed on him and hand holding the stretched hand of Jesus. With him we are in peace and our oil never dries out no matter how deceiving or challenging the world becomes. Deposit for heaven keeping our souls alive in Grace of God.
Matthew 7:21-Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come-1 Timothy 4:8
Those who delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in seasona and whose leaf does not wither(Psalms 1)
Stay alert and be vigilant for we do not know the hour when Jesus comes to call us. (Let us read verses from.pdf Hebrews 3, Colossians 4,1 Peter 2:, Ephesians 4 to know how .)
But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.Jude 1:20-25
Let us not be seen barren without oil but shining in the light of Christ.
Let's pray Psalms 123 and Joel 2
God bless 🙏
