Lights Out

Matthew 25:1-13 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

The 5 foolish virgins did not store up the oil needed to endure the coming of the bridegroom. Which of these do you liken yourself too? This wedding processional was done at night which is why the virgins needed the lamps and oil to wait on the bridegroom this was a Jewish custom. The word of God is a light unto our feet and a lamp unto our path. Oil in the scripture refers to being prepared for Christ return and the lack of oil shows how we are not prepared hence the 5 foolish virgins. Throughout your journey stay Kingdom minded and look for the King in every situation. Every Kingdom has a King and ours is Christ Jesus the Anointed One.
Be blessed
