The word “foolish” in the above scripture is from a Greek word “moros”. It means to be blocked headed or headless. In contemporary English, it is to be dull. This may sound harsh but why does Jesus call them foolish? They were called foolish because they lacked foresight so they did take oil with them. They failed to make adequate preparation for what they claimed to be expecting.

Sadly, some persons are this way. They may be well-intentioned people with good ideas, but they lack a good strategy for implementation. They do not project into the future and anticipate challenges, so they are shocked when they meet challenges. They do not determine what they will require aforetime, so they are always running helter-skelter at the last minute.

They have a mind to succeed, but they do not think things through before they start building their businesses or endeavours. They do the right things at the wrong time or at the wrong place, hence they are not effective. Like the foolish virgins, they know to buy oil but do not know to get enough. They are those who always try to solve issues at the minute when things have already gone bad. And, like the foolish virgins, because their foolishness, brings losses into their lives, relationships and businesses, they always end up being rejected.

As someone who intends to succeed, you must shun foolishness in every form. Become deliberate about adequately planning and strategic implementation of your ideas. Think through every project so that you can anticipate challenges, and make plans to surmount them even before they surface. That way, you will not incur losses.
