SCRIPTURE: Matthew 25:1-11
The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins
“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
“And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’
Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us
some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
MEMORY VERSE: John 14:16
DIGGING DEEP: Once you are born again you are a new creation. This is who you truly now are, everything about you becomes new. But just like buying a new car, it is of necessity to put in some fuel so that the car can run, so it is with us, for us to run we must be filled. Not filled with the philosophies of religion nor with it's activities, but with the Spirit of God.
Understand these things:
1) As a Child of God what drives you is the Holy Spirit, not your senses: So therefore, to be without Him is to be stranded.
2) Until God fills you, He can't field you: This simply means that until God fills you, He can't use you. The nature of your filling, determines the level of your usage.
3) The more your fuel, the longer your service: The way we serve God is directly proportional to the level of fuel in us. Little fuel attracts little service.
4) The level of your fuel determines the level to which you burn for God: There are folks that burn for a year and there are those who burn till eternity the difference is in the capacity that they developed. Your fuel level is your fire level, your fire level is your impact level.
God does not want you to shine and have impact for a season, God does not raise stars in the kingdom for just a moment, He raises people who will cause a land slide impact. Those who will shine for Him forever and ever (Daniel 12:3). For instance, when God raised Abraham it was for transgenerational impact, when He picked Paul it was for transgenerational influence, and when Jesus came it was to raise Son's for eternity.
Beloved you can't afford to be empty of God. The more of God you have the more of God you will reveal. Because the level of God you have is to that level you will manifest Him.
Beloved you can heal the sick, win thousands of souls for the kingdom of God and tirelessly do so many terrible things in righteousness if you are filled with God. Our strife to be Godly is made easy if we open our hearts to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Our anchor Scripture states four vital things:
1. It is wisdom to be filled and foolishness to be unfilled. So many Christians today are satisfied with the level of the Spirit of God in them. That is the reason why many are powerless today and weak in revealing the things that pertains to the kingdom of God.
2. The level of your filling determines how you pass through this dark age while anticipating the return of our Lord and King.
3. The service is too large and the journey to heaven is not a short walk so maintaining low levels in God is very dangerous.
4. God does not know those who are not filled with Him: vs 11 "“Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you." Beloved to be known to God and by God is to be filled with Him.
Today, i pray for you be filled with the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER: O Lord, i submit my vessels unto you, fill me till i overflow in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: The proof of been truly filled is overflow- Dr. Dabbas Joel
DAILY READING: Psalm 104-105, Nehemiah 8-9
