DO YOU HAVE AN EXTRA OIL?

When you begin your walk with God , you need oil to keep you going so you dont deviate from the narrow path and follow the wide path. The story of the ten virgins indicates that they were all christians waiting for the return of Jesus Christ . Oil has a huge significance David was anointed by Samuel with oil, likewise Saul and immediately their lives never remained the same immediately the oil touched Saul he began to prohesise.
But the virgins  needed lamp bringing us to the question that must I be  a virgin to see God ?of course not remember Jesus never discriminaated while on earth infact He was seen amongst the rejected in the society more, tax collectors(Matthew, Zaccheus , harlots , the poor so you past life is no significance to God on the condition that you repent and dont go back to your past life.
The virgins needed a lamp for light , you are a child of God and automatically light as it is written on judgement day Jesus Christ will tell so many accalaimed chrsitians that I dont know you implying that giving your life to Jesus Christ is one step but being wise is having a lamp .
The lamp of life is your love for Christ and doing all His commandment but the oil   keeps the zeal burning , when you are a child of God and initially evangelise every saturday to make it continuos requires oil so that the fire of your lamp doesnt burn out.

So many christians are even doubting if Jesus Christ is really coming back soon because the oil of their lamp is getting low . SIGNS THAT THE OIL OF YOUR LAMP IS GETTING LOW
You hardly pray anymore
You hardly read the word of God
Evangelism seem to be a burden
You doubt in your heart that Jesus Christ will answer your prayer request .
Because it seem Jesus Christ is delaying though all the signs of His return are obvious yet you still doubt it will be one day , one minute there will be the trumpet sound and then the appearance of Jesus Christ as the ten virgins were all drowsy and sleepy then the bridegroom arrived but the oil of the virgins were running out so five asked the other half for some oil so they can fill their lamp but they refused so they ran to go and back more oil but by the time they returned the door had been shut.
There was enough time while waiting to buy oil and waited till the last minute but unfortunately the door had been shut. While waiting for the return of JESUS CHRIST and you are still privilenge to be alive why dont you from this moment begin to buy extra oil by reading the word of God , praying fervently, healing the sick , winning souls for the kingdom of Heaven so that when the trumpet will sound , you will be very happy and will be worthy to be amongst the rapture of the saints .

BIBLE REFERENCE : MATTHEW 25:1-13
