Have you ever just felt that you are drowning in darkness when the sun is shining brightly all around you? Your soul is crying out for oil. The soul needs the oil of the precious Holy Ghost to keep it burning bright. Aaron had to keep the lamps burning in the tabernacle of God at all times. They didn't just burn forever, he continually cared for them and added oil as needed to keep them burning brightly. Our souls will give in to darkness unless we have the oil of Calvary flowing through us!!
The foolish virgins let their oil run dry. They may have thought just any oil would suffice, but not every oil will keep your lamp burning it's brightest. Though there be many kinds of oil from various sources, you must have that pure oil of the Holy Ghost or your lamp will go out. You can't shine with pretended Grace, or natural goodness. Ceremonies and going through the motions won't do it. You must make that trip to Calvary and fill your lamp with the pure oil of Jesus Christ's holy spirit. The oil of the Sweet Holy Ghost. It's the oil of Grace, Love, Truth and Holiness and it's FREE for the taking.
Our churches today are letting their lamps run dry of oil. We, the saints of God are not doing our part to keep the lamps burning. The alters are empty and souls are not being added to the church daily as Christ intended because the saints are not keeping their own lamps burning. We must fill our alters. We must get back to the alter and fill our lamps with new oil daily. It's a pressing way and we must continue praying and seeking after God and happily he will be found. When we do this, we will begin to see souls saved, we will see our church pews filling up and we will see change. Lost souls are seeking and searching for the light, but if the saints lights are dim, then the souls don't know where to go. We must let our lights shine brightly and lead those souls to Jesus!!
