NOTE The LORD Yahshua told His disciples to pray For the Kingdom to come that the will of the Father might he done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:9.10) This earth was not created to be populated always with greedy selfish covetous men and women, war-mongers, and every sort of sinners. The Creator has power to bring about this pending change, and it is now very near. Although it will require a terrible destruction of lives and property to cleanse the world of sin and sinners, it is sure to come and this time by fire instead of by water as in the days of Noah.

NOTE Yahshua did not say lie would send for the redeemed ones to come to where He was going. But He said, "I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also…" We are told in many places that when He comes He will be King and will reign on the earth. The kingdoms of this world will become His. He was born for this purpose. Isaiah 9: 6, 7.
4. What will happen to the righteous to give them eternal life? 1 Corinthians 15:51-53.
5. What present means will life and health he imparted to the redeemed? Revelation 22:2.
6. Will we be reunited with our loved ones? Jer. 31:16.17.
7. Will our bodies be changed and become the same as the spiritual body of Messiah? Philippians 3:20.21.
NOTE After Yahshua was resurrected from the dead, and therefore possessed this immortal never dying body: He walked with His apostles to the city of Emmaus eight miles northwest of Yerusalem. He also ate with them, but their eyes were Holden so they would not recognize Him while walking in the way. Therefore He looked the same as before, and it was necessary for the eyes of His friends to be changed, because He appeared as before. Then later they recognized Him. (Luke 24:28-31). As our bodies are to be changed and become like unto His glorious body, we will also look the same as we do now, and will know our loved ones, and they will know us.

9. Whom did our Lord Yahshua set forth as our example of perfection? Matthew 5:48.
10. What must the rich do in order to attain perfection? Matthew 19:16-21.
11. How did the wealthy man react to this demand? Matthew 19:22.
12. In a certain parable, how much are we required to sell in order to receive salvation? Matthew 13:45,46.
NOTE: Self is the only obstacle in the way of our goal of perfection. Wealth hinders the rich. What hinders the poor? Do we sell all? Some of us treasure malice, envy, wrath, and deceit in our souls and refuse to sell them out in order to buy the pearl of great price, which pearl is Messiah.

THE TEN VIRGINS
Scripture Reading: Matt 25:1-13.
Memory Verse: 1 Cor 16:13.

We read that the Apostles were filled (or anointed) and refilled with the Spirit and that is how the extra oil is maintained. Those who receive the Spirit and then do not continue to “walk in the Spirit” will be among the foolish virgins, for their lamps will go out.
8. What took place while the Bridegroom tarried? Matthew 25:5.
9. What was heard at midnight? Matthew 25:6.
10. What did they arise to do? Matthew 25:7.
11. What did the foolish ones ask for? Matthew 25:8.
12. What answer and advice did they get? Matthew 25:9.
NOTE: It is not possible to borrow faith and spiritual strength from someone else. You must get it from it’s source. This parable especially stresses the importance of being prepared at all times and the danger of being lax in our spiritual walk. (See Matthew 25:10-13.)
****************************

Fahamu: Ubinafsi ndio kikwazo pekee katika lengo letu la kuufikia ukamilifu. Utajiri ndio huwazuia matajiri. Ni nini huwazuia maskini? Je, huwa tunauza kila kitu? Baadhi yetu huweka hazina ya uovu, wivu, hasira, na udanganyifu katika nafsi zetu na kukataa kuviuza vyote ili kununua lulu ya thamani kuu, lulu ambayo ni Masihi.

WANAWALI KUMI
Somo la Maandiko:- Mat 25: 1-13.
Aya ya Kukariri: 1 Wakor 16:13.
1. Mwokozi alifananisha ufalme wa Mbinguni na nini? Mathayo 25: 1.
2. Wanawali kumi walikuwa na tabia zipi ambazo zilikuwa sawa? Mathayo 25: 1 (sehemu ya mwisho).
3. Jinsi gani wale wapumbavu walionyesha upumbavu wao? Mathayo 25:3.
4. Jinsi gani wale wenye busara walionyesha hekima yao? Mathayo 25: 4.
FAHAMU:- Tunaona ya kwamba wote kumi walikuwa wanawali. Hii inaashiria usafi wa tabia. Wanawakilisha Kanisa ambalo linamsubiri Masihi. Wanawali wote kumi pia walikuwa na taa zinawaka.
5.Tukizungumza kwa lugha ya kiroho, taa inawakilisha nini? Zaburi 119:105.
6. Kwa kuwa neno ni taa, mafuta yanawakilisha nini? Ufunuo 3:18
7. Ni nini hututia mafuta katika wakati huu? Matendo ya Mitume 10:38; 1 Yohana 2:27.
FAHAMU:- Kutokana na hili tunaona kwamba mafuta ni Roho. Wanawali hawa wote walikuwa wamepokea upako wa Roho Mtakatifu, lakini watano hawakuwa na upako wa kutosha. Tunasoma kwamba Mitume walikuwa wamejazwa (au wametiwa mafuta) na wamejazwa na Roho na hivyo ndivyo mafuta ya ziada huhifadhiwa. Wale ambao hupokea Roho na wanakosa kuendelea “kuenenda katika Roho” watakuwa kati ya wanawali wapumbavu, kwa sababu taa zao zitazimika.
8. Nini ilitendeka wakati Bwana arusi alipokawia? Mathayo 25: 5.
9. Ni nini ilisikika usiku wa manane? Mathayo 25: 6.

12. Walipata jibu lipi na ushauri upi? Mathayo 25: 9.
FAHAMU:- Haiwezekani kuazima imani na nguvu za kiroho kutoka kwa mtu mwingine. Lazima upate kutoka kwa Bwana. Mfano huu hasa unasisitiza umuhimu wa kuwa tayari katika nyakati zote na hatari ya kuzembea katika mienendo yetu ya kiroho. (Soma Mathayo 25: 10-13.)

2. Ni nini kwanza inafaa kufanyika kabla ya kujaribu kurekebisha wengine? Mathayo 7:4, 5; Mathayo 5:23, 24.
FAHAMU:- Ni kwa sababu ya mtu binafsi kukosa Roho wa kweli na wa uvumilivu, na kwa kukosa upendo, humuelekeza kusisitiza makosa ya wengine, na kutengeneza mlima mkubwa kutoka kwa mchanga wa fuko. Kulaumu na kutahayarisha wengine ni mambo ambayo hayajawahi kuokoa nafsi iliopotoka, lakini wengi huwasukuma hata mbali zaidi. Roho wa huruma na wakuonya kwa upole, na kwa siri na kwa muongozo wa rehema na upendo kwa yule aliye kosea, ndilo jambo linalomrejesha mtu katika njia nyembamba.

8. Je, Yahshua anasema nini kuhusu wale watakao ingia katika ufalme? Mathayo 7:21.

10. Wale husikia tu wanalinganishwa na nini? Mathayo 7:26, 27.
