Day 39 (Wednesday 15 September) - Preparing His Glorious Bride!

by NECF Malaysia 40-Day Fast & Prayer on Wednesday, 15 September 2010 at 01:03

In this critical time, the Bride of Christ must be PREPARED! In the parable of the 10 virgins in Matt 25:1-13, five had made adequate preparation for their lamps had extra oil in jars (Matt 25:4). The other five had lamps but no extra oil. At midnight, the bridegroom arrived. The lamps of the five virgins without extra oil went out to search for oil and missed the arrival of the bridegroom. When they returned and found the wedding feast in progress, they sought admission but were denied.

Jesus' coming is near, but not all will be spiritually prepared for it. His coming will be sudden and unexpected. Those who fail to acknowledge Him truly as Lord cannot enter His kingdom. Since the day and hour of His return are unknown, let us consider how we should live our lives. This is a desperate call for all generations to keep WATCH, be ALERT and be PREPARED!

Reflection: Matt 25:1-13. Honestly ask ourselves, "How have I been investing my time, resources or talents? Am I ready for His return?" Let us strip off every falsehood, pretension, spiritual dullness and self justification and allow His Spirit to renew us in our commitment to Him.

Prayer Points
■ Call on the Lord to raise up His standard to bring His Body into a new level of purity and holiness, separating herself from all defilement to know the time and season.
■ Call into His chamber - believers to enter into a new season of intimacy; to be filled with fresh anointing daily to minister out of relationship.
■ Call to watch - awaken believers to the privilege of His high calling to be His watchmen to watch and pray with fervency and intensity, renewing faith and focus until His Kingdom comes! Prayer Cells to be established in private/government offices, housing estates, apartments, parks, in places where none exists in all the states.
■ Call forth:
- the greatest revival to come forth to the fullness of people groups who have yet to receive His salvation
- His Glorious Bride without wrinkles to be prepared for His Glorious return! Maranatha! Come Lord Jesus, Come! The Spirit and the Bride say, AMEN!
