Get your supplies ready…
”Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying, Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, prepare provision for yourselves, for within three days you will cross over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess.” Joshua 1:10-11, is an exhortation to the people at his time, it’s ours as well. It is time to get our supplies ready for the habitation of God.
We read in Matthew 25: 1-13, “ Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps”.
The parable of the ten virgins, of which the five Virgins got their oil supplies ready. We know what happened to the other five’s that failed to get their supplies of oil ready, basically, they missed our Lord visitation.

But when our anticipation is high and we come with heart full of expectation, we will experience His presence. Remember, what you anticipate, you’ll prepare for. God wants us to be ready at His coming, “Get Ready” make necessary preparation, so He may meet you in a good posture, ready posture to receive Him and everything He will bring.
