HOW LEVELED UP ARE YOU?
The WORD leveled up. referring to meeting up to the responsibility. You are saying do not get left behind. Gird up your loins be the man you are. Rise to the situation and be ready. Carry yourself with grace and honor be what you're called to be. You are saying do not lay back. Make sure you do not find wanting.
If you use this word and it helps you buckle up into committed and rising up to the responsibility. Then what do we call the five foolish virgins? Who refuses to understand the seriousness of waiting for the master? They refuse to level up to the situation. came with lamps with not enough oil that will be able to sustain them. hoping that they will lobby with the five wise ones that took extra oil for their lamps and see how it goes.
Micheal Koulianos is a Jesus lover man that Pastor Jesus' image church. He made mention in one of his admonitions on Matthew 25 that he could understand the scenario very well. He said being a Greek native. The distance of where to get oil for the lamps is always like two houses away. and the most surprising thing is that the Bridegroom came and the door got shut. Even before the virgins could make it back.
It was within a short period. In today we have the structure but lack power as the virgin has their lamps but no oil. The foolish virgins might even have the recent innovative lamp yet with no oil. You might have the best structure as a company, team, establishment but no good leadership. You might have the most beautiful structure when it comes to your place of worship.
But how leveled up are you with your oil of serving. How much of his presence and audience do you have? Is Jesus the focus of your attention? How is your leadership servant nature towards humanity? Is your gathering solving or adding to the problem?
The virgins did not go too far but they still did not make it. All these innovations and mechanisms should get you closer and closer to your maker. Is JESUS the Lord of all? Can he count on you when he comes? Will you level up to the expectations? Will your lifestyle level up to him? Do you know it could be when you are pitching for the contract? or during your group meetings or board meetings that the Bridegroom will come? Do you have enough oil?
