MFM Daily Devotional 23 December 2021 OUTLINE
There are three key future events that comprise God’s distinct prophetic plan for the church: the rapture, the judgement seat of Christ and the marriage of the Lamb. The church consists of all faithful believers from all time. The parable of the ten virgins clarifies what it means to prepare for the coming of the bride groom. The virgins were waiting and hoped to take part in the wedding banquet.
The groom didn’t come at the expected time, five of the virgins prepared while the other five didn’t. The five that did not prepare ran out of oil. By the time they wanted to purchase oil, it was too late to join the feast. This tells us that when Jesus returns to take His people to heaven, you and I must be prepared and be ready. Our relationship with our Maker must be taken as our own responsibility.
If you fail to prepare, there is no excuse The Church will be caught up to the Father’s house and each believer will be rewarded. The bride will be presented to her Bridegroom. All these will happen before the Church returns with Christ to earth at His second coming. The Bible calls it the Marriage of the Lamb, when our Lord Jesus Christ is joined to His bride, the church in heaven.
This was the price Jesus paid at Calvary, the death of the cross. It gave Him the opportunity to go to the grave to collect the key of death from satan. He went back to heaven to prepare a place for us. He promised that in his Father’s house there are many mansions. He added that He would go and prepare a place for us all, that where He is, we should be there also (John 14:1-3).
If not for his death on the cross, none would have had the advantage to prepare for the great wedding. This is the next great event in heaven that will take place after the reviewing and rewarding of the saints at the Judgement Seat of Christ.
Beloved, without your preparation you might lose the great event. How do you prepare? Focus on God’s will for your life. Don’t worry about anything, instead pray. Thank God always. Run away from sin. Repentance and forgiveness is essential. As you prepare, the presence of God will envelope you always.
