FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 25:1-13 (KJV)
1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10 And 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.
11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
Preparation is a vital tool for success in life. In every endeavour of life, we must take the initial step of planning, which starts with preparation. It is within this context that the picture of what is to be done, how to get it done, and the means of getting it done is put in place. Without adequate preparation and planning, a person is prepared to fail. The same applies to our heavenly race as Christians. The Bible tells us that we are in this world but we are not of this world. This is a reminder that we have a final destination in eternity. The desire of God for His children is that we all end up in His bosom as one big family, to start a new life with Him. However, to get there, we need to prepare. Beloved, are you prepared?

Today’s text reveals to us the benefits of preparation. Jesus Himself taught this parable to His disciples. It is a fact that the ten virgins all had their lamps, perhaps were all dressed in the same way, with the same purpose – to meet the bridegroom. Again, they all slept off but woke up suddenly at midnight to trim their lamps. Here lies the difference: the five wise virgins were well prepared, but the five foolish ones had not enough oil in their lamps.
What a calamity! Too late! There was nowhere to buy the oil at such an hour of the night. They resorted to borrowing from their mates (verses 8-9), but they also couldn’t give them so that they would not both run short of oil. While they went to buy, the bridegroom arrived and the door was shut against them. A great lesson to learn! The unpreparedness of the five foolish virgins caused them irreparable damage. They missed the bridegroom they had been waiting for. They were not adequately prepared or perhaps, they underestimated His arrival. Why should anyone fall into such an error?
No excuse, beloved! You should keep the fire burning on your altar of prayer. Let the lamp of your life burn until the Master comes! Let your oil be enough and let it overflow. Remember, no one knows when the Bridegroom is coming, but certainly, He is coming and will come suddenly! Get prepared; remain prepared, so that you don’t miss Him!
