ALWAYS BE PREPARED

Have you noticed that every success story you might have read or heard of is always as a result of adequate preparation? Understand people of God that no one succeeds by mistake, chance and some of us may even call it luck. Now follow me as we go on this journey: In Matt 25:1-13, understand that all the ten virgins took their lamps to meet the bridegroom at the same time. They all had the same opportunity and time to prepare adequately for the coming of the bridegroom, all ten of them were virgins, all ten of these virgins slept off at the same time. But what distinguished the five wise virgins and the five foolish virgins was ADEQUATE PREPARATION.

Note also that the association you keep will either make you worse than you are or better than you already are. The company you keep will either cause you to prepare for your life, ministry, destiny, business and for the next level. Put differently they can either bring you closer to God or further from God (proverbs 13:20). You know I wonder just maybe among the foolish virgins one tried to be smarter and probably brought up the idea to carry extra oil (the word of God). But maybe the four virgins shut her down and probably said “it’s not necessary, our oil will never burn out”.

Sir’s and Ma’s a wise man is a man with extra. Put differently a man or woman with extra is always distinguished. Have you noticed in schools that the best students is always the one who read further and had something extra to add to what his/her teacher has taught. Preparation is not done in assumption. The word of God is the oil to keep adding for you to be prepared for the coming of the lord. Never assume that you know the word totally and you don’t need any more of it; never assume that you know all about your destiny, business, career, marriage, and relationship, there is always room to dig deeper and most of all don’t get to the point that you don’t need God anymore.

Friends, you never know when that open door will come, or when that long awaited call or contract will come, IT’S ONLY WHEN YOUR LIGHT KEEPS SHINING YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE HIDDEN TREASURES THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU. STAY PREPARED FOR THE UNEXPECTED.

ASSIGNMENT

Always take with you extra oil (the word of God) you never know when the bridegroom will come. Always walk with the wise in order for you to stay prepared. Remember that your friends will always make you or break you. God bless you.
