PREPARED OR UNPREPARED?

PREPARED OR UNPREPARED?


The Lord is COMING again
To JUDGE us all


Will you BE
ONE of the PREPARED
Or one of the unprepared?


“Therefore=stay AWAKE=
For you know NEITHER
The day or the hour” Matthew 25:13


TODAY=we have the story
Of the TEN VIRGINS=
Five=who are prepared=
And five=of who are UNPREPARED


Five brought oil for
Their lamps=to MEET
The bridegroom
And five were unprepared=
WITHOUT the oil for their lamps


They were GONE looking
For oil=when the bridegroom came
And MISSED their chance


How about you?
Will you be PREPARED=
When the LORD comes back?


Or will you be out
LOOKING for something? Will
He find you UNPREPARED
When he comes?


“You PREPARE a table
Before me
In the PRESENCE
Of my enemies


You anoint my head
With OIL
My cup overflows” Psalm 23:5


“However=as it is written=


'What no eye has seen
What no ear has heard


And what no human mind
Has conceived--------


The things God has PREPARED
For those who LOVE HIM--------'” 1 Corinthians 2:9


“For we are=GOD'S handiwork
CREATED in Christ Jesus
To do good works


Which God PREPARED=in advance
For us to do” Ephesians 2:10


These words=”STAY AWAKE”
STICK with me=AM I ready
For the LORD?


Am I LIVING in love=kindness=
And forgiveness? Am I living the BEATITUDES?
Are you? Are you STAYING AWAKE?


“As for me=I will
Be vindicated=and will
See your face


When I AWAKE
I will be satisfied
With seeing your likeness” Psalm 17:15


“So then=
Let us NOT BE
Like others
Who are asleep


But let us BE AWAKE
And sober” 1 Thessalonians 5:6


YES!=let us stay AWAKE
Let us be PREPARED
For the COMING of the Lord


Let us be READY
To MEET the bridegroom
When he comes


Let us have our OIL=
And ALL of our GIFTS
Like the five virgins


Let us be PREPARED
For the COMING OF THE LORD!


In the names of Jesus and his ALMIGHTY=all LOVING FATHER
