Are You A Wise Or Foolish Virgin?

-
This has to be one of the best stories in the Bible, Matthew 25: 1-13 because it makes you ponder on what type of Christian we are? Let me break down the story for you 10 virgins were waiting for the bridegroom to come, the bridegroom represents Jesus the 10 virgins represents us the Christians, so 5 of them were wise they kept the lamp burning and had spare oil so when the lamp stopped burning they had enough oil to fill it, the foolish virgins didn't keep spare oil so they left it to the last minute to get oil when they had got oil they missed the bridegroom come and weren't let in, this will be many Christians who think we can live a life of sin, and give our lives to God later and live heavily in heaven which won't be the case, the oil represents our faith, I hope you get it lol? Because this blog will break down what type of Christians we are. 

Who represents the wise virgins? Are the Christians who kept their faith, stayed away from sin and had/have a relationship with God so when/if we die or the rapture happens we are saved and go to heaven. Who represents the foolish virgins? Unfortunately, the believers who think we can sin enjoy the bad fruits of this world didn't keep our faith and were/are far from God and in their last days or if the rapture happens they will give their life to God last minute, make repentance for the sake of being saved, God won't accept this and sadly these people won't go to heaven and won't be saved. 


I know this blog was quite weighty, and I wasn't trying to write or rank who and what is a bad or good Christian, I simply wanted to define what the 10 virgin parable means to us as Christians today, many Christians are keeping their faith and zeal for God burning and are saved, and will go to heaven while many Christians are far from God and think they have time to be saved, but we don't know when we'll die or when Jesus comes back, our faith is not some uni assignment that we can just write and hand in, in the last minute it's something we must keep and look after every day until we leave this earth you'll know if you're on the right or wrong path with God as the scriptures states in Matthew 7:15 - 20 "you'll know a tree by its fruits" You can't say you're a grape tree If you know you grow figs meaning you can't claim to be saved when deep down we know we're not!!!! We need to be wise virgins before It's too late!! Also, the scriptures say in Malachi 3:18 there's a difference between the wicked and the righteous. It sounds harsh but if we are not with God, we are wicked souls in the hands of the devil!!!! Which is a sad representation of the foolish virgins they thought had time and could leave it last minute but can't, the same mistake we Christians make with our faith and salvation.

Church Hurt

Church Hurt   For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 For week’s I didn’t know how to start this blog, as many pushed me to do this blog, because church hurt is a sensitive subject to talk about where many have given up, many are bitter and many like me, not anymore gave up on the church and questioned the Christian community (DISCLAIMER - THIS IS NOT TO EXPOSE ANYONE WHO I FELT ATTACKED BY AS NAMES/ORGANISATIONS WON’T BE MENTIONED THIS IS TO HELP NOT PUT DOWN OR CRITICIZE). So let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I got over my church hurt 5 years ago, and I compare church hurt to one of Killmonger (Yh I’m using a Black Panther analogy, don’t cry, don’t beg about spoilers you’ve had more than a month to watch it!!!! Lool) so back to my point Killmonger is those who’ve gone through church hurt, Killmonger who is Black Panther’s long lost cousin and arch nemesis

Spiritual Priorities

If you ask me "what's the main principle of being a Christian?" I would tell you it's to put God and the things of God FIRST!!!!!!! But this is the thing that I don't see much of Christians in this era, most of us don't value our spiritual priorities or sadly don't have any. What do I mean by spiritual priorities? It's how we prioritize the things of God and how we serve God in our day to day lives. This is what saddens me, slowly and slowly many Christians put God and their faith as the last thing on their list of priorities. There's always an excuse why we didn't go to church, why we didn't pray, why we don't seek or fast and so on and so on, because we put our lives, the things of this world and our busy schedules before God. Okay it doesn't help that we live in the era of technology and demanding work and commitment schedules in life but surely if we serve a great God surely we can make time for him in a 24 hour day???

The Spirit Of Disobedience

"But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." 2 Timothy 3:1-7   If you asked what is the reason or the biggest sin that takes Christians, people away from God? I would say justification of living in sin and when you're living in sin on PURPOSE you are disobeying God. In the word it says we shouldn't do A to Z but in in today times where even many Christian authorities disobey the ways of God. This is why there is many sorry to say many lost, weak Christians in the world. Okay we all have different spiritual journeys we all take time and move in differe
