Bible Reading: Luke 14:16-22 (KJV)
16Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
18And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
20And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
21So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
22And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
KEY VERSE: “And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.” Luke 14:17
Message
The grocery store is like a super-market where one can buy basic things for use at home. It ranges from fruits, nuts, grains and all types of food items that the body needs to function well. There are grocery stores in many neighbourhood. With them scattered here and there, shopping is made easy. However, it is not everyone that can benefit from the good things in the grocery stores no matter how near it may be to him/her. Individuals must have to make up his/her mind to patronize the store in order to purchase needed items.
Our God in heaven has a large store house filled with everything we desire or need. However, God’s large store contains much more precious things than food and drinks. This is the important message the parable in our Bible passage is passing across to us. The store house of God is filled with every spiritual blessing that we need namely, salvation, sanctification, Holy Ghost Baptism, fruit of the Spirit, gift of the spirit and Christian virtues. All things are ready for you to possess.
You do not need to pay anything because Jesus has paid the bill a long time ago. Do not reject the offer like those who gave excuses on why they could not honour the invitation. Come to Jesus now, pray, ask and you will receive.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, I surrender and accept your invitation to possess my possession.
