“PREPARED ALWAYS”

​

​

“Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

 

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 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. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.”

The great lessons within this timely parable of the Ten Virgins we receive a heavenly message of preparedness. This is our instruction to remain ever prepared in readiness for the presence of Yehoshua Ha’Moshiach (Jesus, The Annointed One). For no one knows the time or day of His return. From this we learn it is best to exemplify readiness and why the present moment (and each and every moment) is of great importance requiring our fullness of attention. The present this VERY moment is all we have. Therefore, we must spend every moment of our life in preparation. For what should we be prepared? 

​

We must remain at the ready for the day of calling of Ha’Moshiach awaiting His return in the suit of His Armor prepared for the battles of victory which lay the foundations of Elohim’s Kingdom on earth. Beneath our armor are layered cloaks of purity as our lamps are filled with the oil of faith which illuminate hope that we as vessels of His love and light with draw with us His gathering sheep. If our robes yet lack purity and remain stained with sin, we make best advantage of ‘this moment’ which yields us yet time to cleanse it freely with humbled repentance and unbridled forgiveness. Should we find our lamps oil lacking, we humbled before Him seek its increase and fulfillment in glorifying prayer. Should we find our lamp unlit, let us kindle the loving spark of His love and mercy to ignite our darkness within the inspiring Word of Elohim. Should our vessel be lacking HIS great love with which to share and care, we surrender to the solace that through Rauch Ha' Kodesh (Holy Spirit) with prayer shall allow our vessel to overflow.
