Matthew 25:1,13
25:1 "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
25:13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."
The Church of God (ten virgins) must be watchful always to be ready in welcoming Jesus' second coming in glory as King of kings and Heavenly Bridegroom.
We must keep our lamp to burn continually.
Two requirements to keep our lamp to burn continually are below:
Meaning we have the oil of Holy Spirit abundantly.
The steps are below:
25:1 "Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
25:13 "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."
The Church of God (ten virgins) must be watchful always to be ready in welcoming Jesus' second coming in glory as King of kings and Heavenly Bridegroom.
We must keep our lamp to burn continually.
Two requirements to keep our lamp to burn continually are below:
- [Matthew 25:5-7] Receiving Bride Tidings = the light of the gospel of the glory of the Lord.
- Having oil for supply in the vessel.
Matthew 25:2-4
25:2 "Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
25:3 "Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them,
25:4 "but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Meaning we have the oil of Holy Spirit abundantly.
The steps are below:
- Having the anointing oil of Holy Spirit = passing the Gate to enter into the Court of Tabernacle.
Romans 10:17
10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Passing the Gate = having faith, believing in Jesus through hearing the Word in the anointing of Holy Spirit.
Believing in the Word, we get the anointing of Holy Spirit.
The practice of having the anointing of Holy Spirit is below:- The Altar of Burnt Offering -->repentance.
Sinning, we have to confess to God and men and not repeat the sin. - Brazen Laver -->water baptism = renewal of life.
1 John 3:9
3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.
Renewed person will not sin anymore = being delivered from sin, not sinning anymore whatever advantage he may get or whatever threat he may receive.
It continues until he cannot sin but being righteous as Jesus is righteous.This is one who is anointed by Holy Spirit.
- The Altar of Burnt Offering -->repentance.
- Being filled with Holy Spirit up to the fullness = passing the Door of Tabernacle to get entry into the Sanctuary.
There is no roof upon the Court but the Sanctuary has coverings as the roof.
The practice is real through our patience in committing three main services to the Lord as follows:- Golden Candlestick (https://www.gptkk.org/tabernacle_golden+candlestick.html) -->patience in committing General Service.
- Table of Showbread (https://www.gptkk.org/tabernacle_table+of+showbread.html) -->patience in committing Bible Study Service and the Holy Communion.
- The Golden Altar of Incense (https://www.gptkk.org/tabernacle_the+golden+altar+of+incense.html) -->patience in committing Prayer Service.
Hebrews 10:36-37
10:36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
10:37 "For yet a little while, And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
There are many we need in the last days but the main need is PATIENCE in shepherding, in which Great Shepherd has already fulfilled all of our needs.
Besides, we will be able to be patient in waiting and welcoming Jesus' second coming. - Golden Candlestick (https://www.gptkk.org/tabernacle_golden+candlestick.html) -->patience in committing General Service.
- Having the oil of Holy Spirit abundantly =having the oil for supply = passing through the Veil to enter into the Most Holy Place.
The practice is below:- Being faithful and responsible in little things.
Matthew 25:14-15,21-23
25:14 "For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.
25:15 "And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.
25:21 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
25:22 "He also who had received two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.'
25:23 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'
Talent/ministry is the trust of God to us.
All talents are a few things before God whether five talents, two talents, et cetera.
Being a few means below:- Being humble, do not have pride/arrogance or inferior feeling.
- We are able always to do the ministry, there is no reason not to do it.
Being faithful and responsible in a few things is the oil for supply.
Actually, the servant receiving one talent is the one receiving the least of the least so he gets the biggest chance to be faithful and responsible (to have the oil for supply the most).
Do not make the ministry a little thing as the servant receiving one talent. Being unfaithful and irresponsible in a few things, one will be cast into outer darkness and left when Jesus comes a second time.
Being faithful and responsible in a few things, even the least thing, God will employ us in the revival of Holy Spirit at the last rain until we may welcome Jesus' second coming on the clouds to enter into the marriage supper of the Lamb. - Being humble, do not have pride/arrogance or inferior feeling.
- Being watchful always in worship for one hour = the tearing of flesh.
Mark 14:37-38
14:37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
14:38 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
The flesh's being torn, the anointing oil of Holy Spirit is poured out to us.
What must be torn?- The lust, so that we will not fall into the sins of Babel (sins concerning eating-drinking and sexuality) and we do not perish together with Babel in one hour.
Revelation 18:16
18:16 "and saying, 'Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls!'For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.' - The will of flesh,so we can be obedient in full to the Lord, only crying 'Abba, Father.'
Mark 14:36,38
14:36 And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will."
14:38 "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Temptation will come when we do not obey the Word.
If we always obey the word, we will never fall into temptation and we will also get miracle in physical life and spiritual one (the renewal of life).
- The lust, so that we will not fall into the sins of Babel (sins concerning eating-drinking and sexuality) and we do not perish together with Babel in one hour.
- Suffering without any sin/having the sprinkling of blood.
Being righteous but blamed is the time we have the oil for supply.
Fasting when we have food at home is also the oil for supply.
Committing service to the Lord after working is also the oil for supply.
1 Peter 4:14
4:14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
4:18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
The sprinkling of blood will result in the Spirit of Glory so we can be strong and of good courage.
Being strong and of good courage = being confident, meaning as follows:- Not being disappointed or hopeless in facing all matters but hoping in God fully.
- Holding fast the true teaching Word whatever risk may come.
- Not being defiled or easily sinning.
- Making efforts to be well pleasing to God.
2 Corinthians 5:7-10
5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
5:9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him.
5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. - Believing in the judgment seat of Christ that will judge our sins. In such a manner, we finish our sins through making reconciliation seriously before Jesus comes a second time, we confess our sins uprightly, forgive other's sins and forget them.
Making reconciliation, we are in the embrace of High Priest because reconciliation is the ministry of Jesus as High Priest.
The result of reconciliation from sins is below:- The merciful hand of High Priest is able to help us from all problems in time of need.
Hebrews 2:17-18
2:17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
2:18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. - The merciful hand of High Priest gives us a future and a hope.
Jeremiah 29:11
29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. - The merciful hand of High Priest writes our name in the Book of Life in heavenly kingdom.
Exodus 32:30-33
32:30 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses said to the people, "You have committed a great sin. So now I will go up to the LORD; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."
32:31 Then Moses returned to the LORD and said, "Oh, these people have committed a great sin, and have made for themselves a god of gold!
32:32 "Yet now, if You will forgive their sin -- but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written."
32:33 And the LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.
The proof of our name being written in the Book of Life is the peace in our heart.
- The merciful hand of High Priest is able to help us from all problems in time of need.
- Not being disappointed or hopeless in facing all matters but hoping in God fully.
- Being faithful and responsible in little things.
