Hello Friends!
Today I will share some interesting anecdotes from my experience of being in Christ. He never forgets his plan about you, and he never leaves any of his plans unfulfilled but the only thing that we need to keep in mind is that we have to keep him and what he wants from us right in front of our eyes without fail.
I believe you all remember the parable of the brides, the brides which were waiting for the groom to visit them and since the groom was taking time to come, they fell asleep. NO!!
Let me give a summary here in my own simple language, some women are asked to get ready since the groom has expressed desire to pick a bride from among them. They all get ready, also, they carry lamp to be used for night, in case bride takes time to come and comes at the night hour. Half of the brides carry extra oil as they deemed fit and half of them didn't carry any extra oil!!
Since groom was taking time come and these brides slept of while waiting for him. And when the groom had come to see them, half of them didn't have any oil and were not able to go and meet the groom.
What do we learn from this? Personally, I believe it has a lot to do with my own experience of being in Christ.
3 years back during a prayer time GOD has told me that I need to temporarily do a job, I being an entrepreneur most of my life and due to some issues, the business wasn't being fruitful and let me tell you clearly this business is given to us by GOD, when he told me that temporarily I need to do job and he reminded me that I shouldn't forego spending time in WORD and in Prayers giving job as a reason because ultimately I will be used by him to spread his WORD and he will take me to the people chosen by him to share the Gospel.
I had gotten job offers which were paying good salary but obviously no time for yourselves, but I had chosen a job which is less paying but gives me time to spend with WORD and in prayers and along with this it gives me time to focus on the business given by GOD.
One thing I kept reminding myself that this job is temporary and my actual work is spreading the Gospel.
So, what is the connection with my experience and the parable?
The oil that is required to keep you moving in the path of GOD is the time that we spend in WORD and prayers and the consciousness that we become his followers only when we live the Gospel. Come what may be mindful that you are Christians only when you do what HE wants you to do.
The oil is when you have HIM constantly in front in your mind and heart and live accordingly. Visiting buildings during a specific day and calling that worship is not what HE wants, remembering him always at whatever state & stage of our lives is what is called fellowship, and it is this oil which keeps our lamps burning and helps us to meet the groom when he comes.
Whoever has ears let him hear!
