The Mahula house

Posted bycgvanPosted inDevotionals

I taught at the Bible School today, the lesson was how to prepare to do visitation with church members in need. To highlight the importance of preparation we read Mathew 25:1-13. “At that time the Kingdom of heaven will be like…” Jesus says. At the end of time and we are in the end times; yet no one knows only the Father when that time will be. The point is: Be prepared! That is what this parable is about. The ten virgins represent the universal church. We are all waiting for the coming of the Jesus, for the wedding feast to begin. Five virgins were wise, they had extra oil for their lamps since the groom could come at any time, especially when they least expected it. Five virgins were foolish; they had filled their lamps but did not have extra oil. Today as well, it seems to be a long time that Jesus has been on the way back, is he ever going to come we ask? The virgins grew drowsy and fell asleep; take note they all fell asleep. Like the ten virgins the church has fallen asleep; we worry about legalities, about fine points of theology and spend our time in endless discussion about things that have nothing to do with salvation itself and we worry very little about those not ready to meet Christ. Today it is hard to know who is ready (has extra oil) and who is not ready. The oil is the thinking of Jesus, the Way of Jesus, the Words of Jesus, and the actions of Jesus. That is the oil we need but our lamps are barely on, turned down for the long nap we are in. If we are to be ready we must have extra oil (all of the characteristics of Jesus) if the church is going to shine brightly up to the time of Jesus’ return. Those who have taken on the difficulty and the suffering of being like Jesus in all that they say and do will be ready to meet the King (bridegroom). But those who have taken the easy way out and not made the sacrifices that go along with real Christianity will be left behind. Jesus does not know them, verse 12. “Therefore, keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.”

The housing is good at Mahula

The house is around 3000 sq. ft. with a large enclosed porch
Great air flow, short on privacy
A lot of room for meetings
The porch is a great meeting place, and has other uses
Trying to cool down the bedroom, it drops about 20 deg.
The 12volt Evaperator cooler taxes the solar sy. runs only 4 hr. a day
