The following points sums up today sermon by Reverend Nathaniel

Colossians 4:17

First one needs to become faithful before they can be used by God to do His work.

Mathew 25:1-13

10 christians in the church(virgins) Going to meet the bridegroom(Jesus) the wise took extra oil, the foolish didn't

The extra oil are the things that are done in the church such as involving oneself in the extra things that are done in the church.

The foolish Christian does not do anything extra. The wise carried extra, always at all functions (all night, turning points n other fellowships

The bridegroom tarried to give the foolish time to rise up and perform to the best of their ability. The foolish and both the wise all went to sleep, they slumbered while the bridegroom tarried.

The purpose of availing ourselves for the things of God is for us to meet the bridegroom Jesus.

We are to pay attention to the call of our ministry as opposed to just coming n going.

We shd not allow ourselves whatever reasons for the things of God not to affect us. The bridegroom comes unannounced [Midnight] The midnight is when crisis occurs. The things of God requires time to accomplish. As they start trimming their lamps- wanting to do the things that they shd have done when they had that opportunity: now begin to offer oneself to do the things they shd have but then it becomes very late for things to be accomplished. As we are all in the church we shd be ever ready for the bridegroom (Jesus) We shd endeavor to carry extra oil doing extra things for the kingdom of God. God was talking abt doing extra things in the Church for Him.

God doesn't look for perfection. He wants us to pay attention to the things of His kingdom and the ministry He has given to us.
