THE FOLLY OF BEING UNPREPARED

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." -- Mat_25:10. THE FOOLISH virgins made five great mistakes. (1)They made no provision for the continuance of their light. It is not enough merely to have the lamp; it must be lit and maintained, because there is something for the fire to feed on. How many there are who are on fire and in earnest during the first stage of their religious life, but they have made no provision for maintaining the flame which has been kindled by the grace of God. They have lamps, but have neglected to take oil. The oil stands for fellowship with the Lord Jesus, for the grace of the Holy Spirit, for the daily study of the Bible, for the kindling communion of worship with fellow-Christians. (2)They slept. There was a difference between the sleep of the foolish and that of the wise. There are two kinds of sleep. The one arises from a sense of security and trust. Every preparatio...

THE DIMENSIONS OF GOD'S LOVE

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge." -- Eph_3:17-19. THE DIMENSIONS of the Love of Christ! It is broad as humanity, "for God so loved the world"; the length God's love had no date of origin, and shall have none of conclusion. God is Love, it continueth ever, indissoluble, unchangeable, a perpetual present tense. Its height--as the Flood out-topped the highest mountains, so that Love covers our highest sins.

He has touched the bottomless pit of our sin and misery, sorrow and need. However low your fall, or lowly your lot, the everlasting arms of His love are always underneath. The Apostle talks by hyperbole, when he prays that we may a...

DREAM BIG

Man, alone, has the power to transform his thoughts into physical reality; man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come true. Napoleon Hill (1883-1970, American Speaker, Motivational Writer, ''Think and Grow Rich'') When you dream, dream big, as big as the ocean blue. The hit song of Ryan Shupe and the Rubber band became a household name in Ghana a few years ago and even now, still gets people singing and humming along anytime it is played. However I wonder how many of us have really taken time to really study the lyrics and understand them. The song says, WHEN you dream, dream BIG. The best part of the song for me is WHEN you dream and not IF you dream. Someone said, why dream at all if you are going to dream small. The world is filled with so many opportunities that sometimes thinking about it overwhelms me. These opportunities are waiting for someone with a dream or an idea to take advantage of the vast resources available. Dreams are the building blocks, the proto...
