STAY AWAKE

Dear children of God, let us be vigilant, and stay awake for the adversary is ready to devour God’s children. We have come to the end of the age and ready to meet our Lord and master Jesus Christ, who is going to come soon. He is going to give the reward according to our deeds. Jesus said that let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still are holy. Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done. Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the son, but the Father only. For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the man. For as in those days before flood they were eating and drinking and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah enter the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the son of man.

FAITHFUL AND WISE SERVANT:-  God wants us to faithful and wise servant to stay awake. If we stay awake to do his will, then we can receive the reward. He says that I will pay the recompense with me, the reward according to your deeds. Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his house hold, to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you, he will set over him over all his possession. But if that wicked servant says to himself, My Master is delayed’, and begins to beat his fellow servants and eats and drinks with drunkards,  the master of that servant will come on a day  when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

FAITHFUL AND WISE VIRGIN:- Some time we become foolish virgins and try to manage things without right preparations. We try to behave like foolish virgins, doing things haste and harry without stay awake. We try to do things like foolish virgins, everything is over. Ten virgins went out to meet the Bridegroom, who took their lamps. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him. Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. But the wise answered, saying, since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves. And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, Lord. Lord, open to us. But he answered; truly, I say to you, I do not know you. Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

FAITHFUL AND WISE STEWARD:- Let us stay awake to give accounts to the Lord who ask for it to give away the recompense and pay the rewards. Lord and master of the house who called his stewards; and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. Now after a long time the master of those stewards came and settled accounts with them. And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more. His mater said to him, well done, good and faithful steward. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master. And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more. His master said to him, well done, good and faithful steward. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master. He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying , Master, I knew  you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours. But his master answered him, you wicked and slothful steward! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him and give it to him who has ten talents. For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the worthless steward into the outer darkness. In that place, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Dear friends, behold, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. Each one’s work will become manifest, for the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done. If the work that anyone has built on the foundation survives, he will receive reward, if anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss, though he himself will be saved, but only as through fire. Dear friends if you are stay awake to receive the reward from the Lord, who is coming soon, kindly proclaim the good news and share with others and please send a word to my email ID. revsjc@gmail.com, revsjc12@hotmail.com, johnchelliah857@ yahoo.com.
