The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Monday 13 Th March 2023 Is “Parable of The Ten Virgins Ii”
Read: MATTHEW 25:1-13
[1]Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
[2]And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
[3]They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
[4]But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
[5]While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
[6]And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
[7]Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
[8]And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
[9]But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
[10]And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
[11]Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
[12]But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
[13]Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Memorise: Titus 2:11
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.
Two striking points from this parable are: First, all the ladies were virgins. Virginity here refers to purity and holiness. If you will be ready for the second coming of the Lord, then you must be born again. The five virgins without the oil represents fake believers who enjoy the show of being called Christians without truly loving the Lord.
Every believer must work out his/her salvation with fear and trembling. Two, all the virgins slept off! Yes, we all slumber and sleep off on this journey at different times because we don’t know the exact time the Bridegroom will come. Some relax on their faith, some backslide, and some draw back completely.
However, only those who prepare for His coming will awake into everlasting life like the five virgins with the extra oil. Eternity is for uncountable years; if you miss Heaven, you cannot miss hell. Therefore, you must remain a virgin and be ready for the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

OPEN HEAVEN FOR TEENS 13 MARCH 2023 HYMN
HYMN 7 – JUST AS I AM, WITHOUT ONE PLEA
1. Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
2. Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
3. Just as I am though tossed about,
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fighting’s and fears within, without,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
4. Just as I am poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing of the mind
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
5. Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because Thy promise I believe
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
6. Just as I am Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea Thine alone,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
7. Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth and
height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
Oh Lamb of God I come, I come.
