Get your own oil.

       Hey y'all. Do you guys remember in the Bible where it talks the five foolish virgins and the five wise virgins? If not, you can go to Matthew:25:1-13.  :) Well, that story or parable is about meeting the bridegroom in time for his wedding. Well, since there were Jewish weddings held at night they all needed to get some oil to be able to see their way to his wedding. Well, the time came for the bridegroom to enter into the wedding and the call was made. The girls trimmed their lamps but five of them did not have enough oil to  keep their lamps burning. They asked the other girls for some oil but they refused because they would not have enough if they gave them some their oil. So the wise girls told them to go and buy their own oil. The foolish girls went and did it but by the time they got back, it was too late. The bridegroom went into the hall for the wedding and the doors were shut.

      Listen guys and girls. Don't wait until it is too late to do what you need to do. If God has placed anything on your heart to do in the Earth, do all you know how to do in order for God's purpose to be fulfilled in your life and in the Earth. We are given gifts and talents for a reason. Now, we did not earn because gifts and talents are given without repentance. Whatever your gift and talent is, utilize it for the glory of God. If you rap, use it for God. If you paint, use it for God. If you write, use it for God. And use it in whatever capacity that He tells you to use it in. Let Him guide and direct your footsteps so your life can be blessed and others lives can be blessed by your obedience. I am not saying that everybody that has a gift is going to be stinking rick and wealthy but somebody's life will be changed if you follow what God has already laid out for your life. And in Heaven your rewards will be great. The mansions in Heaven makes the ones down here look like a ghetto. Also, you get a new body called a glorified body, a crown or two, new clothes, a new name....and most importantly everlasting life with Jesus. So you see what you do for God has its rewards. Just do what He had called you to do while there is still time to do it. The night comes because the day is far spent. Tim your candles and get your oil. The bridegroom is coming.
