// Read: Matthew 22: 1-14; Luke 14:16-24 //
Luke 14:16-24
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And 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. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So 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. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.(KJV)

Meditation:
Let us take note of verse 5 that says, “But they made light of it and went their ways. One went to his farm, another to his merchandise”. Are you preparing for the marriage of the lamb? How do you take the preparations of God in your life for the day? The messages you are listening to; the work of the kingdom in your care; your endowment are some of the things God is using to prepare you for His coming. Are you making light of them too? Verse 7 is the result of this attitude in the kingdom. Also, care should be taken about your cloth. Verse 11- 13 is very important. Are you dressing yourself for the marriage feast? The call will be sudden, let it not catch you unprepared!

PRAYER: Pray that you will have the right attitude to the things of God and daily dress yourself for His coming.
