The last few devotionals we have been warning you about the coming storms and persecutions to rock this planet. By the authority of scripture, and yes, by the witness of the Holy Spirit, I must tell you that we are on the verge of Revelation beginning to fulfill itself. The end is beginning.
Now, you might not understand fully what we are saying, maybe you can’t fully realize what we are telling you about the events to come. That’s ok. Understanding the timeline and sequence of events is not as important as what I am about to tell you. Notice our scripture for today; we are all aware of the parable of the 10 virgins. But also notice in this parable, the two things that were most important.
1. The “friend of the bridegroom” sent a warning the master was coming, to get up and prepare.
2. They acquired an extra supply of “oil” to carry them thru the end.
Suppose they didn’t fully understand the “friend’s” message, and what it meant in the grand scheme of things, but they knew enough to know they were receiving a warning, something was definitely not right, and they better do something about it. Because they did take heed, they got an extra supply of oil, and when they needed it, and they would, it was there. Because the other 5 would not listen, they waited to late, unable to get an extra supply, and were left behind.
I ask you, look around, something is not right today. You can see the condition of men, the signs of the times and know something is coming. Even the cult leaders and followers feel something big looming on the horizon, yet why do so many Christians turn their nose up at watchers who cry aloud; “Something is coming, our master is on his way, be ready now”. If you don’t understand fully the events in Revelation, fine, but listen to the warning. Look for yourself in your bible, let the spirit that is within you speak to your soul and prepare. Remember, because the virgins prepared ahead of time, they made it. This is the ONLY way you will stand.
