Back To Jesus
Home with the pigs
Pleads for forgiveness.
Waiting for The Prodigals
Back To Jesus
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repented.
And Jesus said, a certain man had two sons .And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living and not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him .And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before them .And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servant .
And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing .And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and so
And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and in treated him.
And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. Luke 15;10-31.
This is a popular proverb, this is a popular saying ,this is worthy of emulation. The initial and final decision of the prodigal son teaches us that no decision is too hard to take, no condition is too bad to remedy and only in the grave that hope is finally lost for man.
When he took the decision for an untimely journey into the open world of pleasure, he was wise in his own eyes but unknown to him there is a way which seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof are the ways of death[proverbs 14;12] He deceived himself believing he was matured enough to .
After wasting with speed in riotous living, the huge substance he gathered from his father, he came face to face with the realities of the time courtesy of the mighty famine that hit he coast. Mr prodigal had no other option than to seek for an alternative way of living. He quickly joined himself with a friendly citizen of that country who wasted no time sending him to work, live , wine and dine with his swines.
He found appetite in the husks the swines did eat because no one gave nor cared for him, but soon the wise man came to his senses and went back to his father. He asked himself this pertinent question. How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger in a foreign land, eating the pigs menu?
Now I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before them .And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants .
The things that God almighty detests are now the universal way of life, Satan is promoting them to distract men from following God.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God[Roman 3;23] and all our righteousness are as filthy rags [Isaiah 64;6] As it is written , there is none righteous, no, not even one[ Roman3;10] Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin and so death passed unto all men for all have sinned.
Beloved brethren, you must not deceive yourself, “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not is us”[1 John 18-9]
You must have been playing with sin, fornicating, adultery, raping, lying, stealing, cheating, in wanton destructive activities, even lives. You are a Christian but you still forge documents and signatures ,gamble ,hide and seek, abort babies, a drug merchant and smoker of hard cigar. You spend your time in the clubs and high places where free women and the stings of alcohol take you to the heights.
You must not live in ignorance of what the end of this life will , Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. [1 Cor 6;9-11]
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:[ Hebrews 9;27.]
God has therefore commanded all men to repent irrespective of your prodigal ways because he has appointed a day in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man of Calvary[Jesus]
So therefore, if you must come out of the world, of you must separate yourself from the sinking world, if you must gather and be gathered, you must dance the prodigal tunes ,retrace your steps and plead to God to save you, wash you and accept you back to the fold for you were dead but now lives. The prodigal son took such a bold step and succeeded, you too can do it. You too can succeed.
