It’s a story about wisdom, preparedness, and keeping our spiritual lamps full. In today’s world, it’s easy to look the part of a believer but still lack the oil—true anointing and intimacy with Jesus. This episode is your reminder to check your oil and stay ready. 📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned: Matthew 25:1-13 – The Parable of the Ten Virgins: five wise, five foolish—only those with oil were ready when the bridegroom came.Matthew 13:16 – “But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.”1 Corinthians 15:30-33 (MSG) – Paul’s bold declaration of resurrection power as the reason for his relentless faith.Isaiah 28:10 – “For precept must be upon precept… here a little, and there a little.”This isn’t just a warning—it’s an opportunity. Are you filling your lamp daily through prayer, the Word, worship, and obedience?
