IT IS YOUR DECISION

IS YOUR DECISOIN that God will work with, what you decide to do in your mind is what influences your asking. That is whatever you ask is a result of what you have decided to do so God respect your decision so if your result in life is not good enough, you may have to have a rethink and ask for help.

 

Mat 25:1 the scripture declared then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. Now ten bridesmaid or ten virgins these became possible because they have not brought shame to their families which is connected to the very ELECT OF GOD or the body of Christ. The bible declare in Mat 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost, Mat 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.

 

Joseph would have put Mary away because the whole community knew they were dating but not married and now she is pregnant who is responsible. Joseph ask and the angel of God responded to him that look this child is conceived of the HOLY GHOST. This was the tradition of the Jews that they all have practice.

 

Deut 24:1  When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.  Deut 24:2, and when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.

 

 Mat 25:3 they that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: They took their LAMP, a lamp is what give out light and every light has fire, these can only be likened to the HOLY GHOST, john the Baptist talk about him in Mat 3:11  I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: The bible says he will baptize you with holy ghost and fire. These were the case of the bridesmaid, but the fire of five was foolish because it lack oil, and oil is that which energize the fire. A Christian that does not have the HOLY GHOST is likened to a curse tree that has no fruit in it. In Psalm 1:1 blessed is the man that walked not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Psalm 1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. Psalm 1:3 and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

 

JESUS saw the fig tree and responded to it with a curse because the tree has leave and no fruits, Mar 11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: Mar 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

 

Mar 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it. Under normal circumstance when a tree has leave it’s an indication that it should have fruits. The implication of this is that Christian or most Christian serve God with a lot of see finish therefore lack the character or the oil (that which energizes or ignite the fire to gain speed needed according to the ordinances of God most high) this is why JESUS said In Luke 3:8, the scripture declared, bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.

 

 Luke 3:9 and now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. God can raise children for Abraham from stone.

 

This must be a decision you must take, your decision to obey God and win souls were you should for the kingdom, because you are a tree that must bear fruits if you refuse to win souls for the kingdom of God, God can raise stones in your place (May that not be our portion) if you refuse to obey the word of the lord in this God will raise another who will.

 

 

Luke 6:43 for a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Luke 6:44 for every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A Christian must reproduce itself.

 

In verse 3 the bible says, they that were foolish took their lamps and did not take oil with them, the lamp is liken to the HOLY GHOST because of the fire associated with it, but they do not have oil, not extra oil, the original word for this is that they took oil in a vessel not in their lamps as that was the tradition you don’t carry the oil in the lamp, you only carry oil in a vessel. They did not take with them oil but carry with them their lamps,(I don’t care personality in church) now what make the difference between the wise and the foolish one is that the wise virgins prepared for the marriage feast by going to buy oils for their lamps, but the foolish  virgins did nothing.

 

The HOLYGHOST is a personality in the God head, it has its functions and powers, now for the HOLYGHOST power to function or manifest in your life there is a sacrifice you must pay, the price for that oil you must pay it will not just manifest you will pay a price for it, that is the sacrifices I talk about. Read verse eight and nine of matt twenty five, the wise said to the foolish go and buy oil, now understand that without oil there is no light because the oil is the power behind the light so you as a believer, you must buy that oil and how do you buy that oil or make the sacrifice? Mat 6:33 the scripture declared, but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

 

Devote your time for God kingdom activities, the wise virgins said go and buy. That means go and labor and get paid so that you can get the oil, I tell you, you must pay the sacrifice to have the oil and I like you to know that it is the oil that powered the lamp, you cannot have extra oil because you are not a bowl but a channels you receive and give out. That is the life of a wise believe you must pay the price to be among the wise, the foolish virgins could not pay the price that is why they fail. How do you pay the sacrifice?

 

1) Study the word, 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 1Thess 4:11 and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

 

2) Prayer Phil 4:6 be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God; Col 4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

 

3) win a soul, Pro 11:30  The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise;  Dan 12:3  And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
