Topic:The Heart
Text:Luke 15:11-32
Introduction :We use to blame the prodigal son for taking his possession and lavished it to nothing , we use to advise people regarding the prodigal son.
But today I have just got another revelation about this passage. Let us talk about the heart of the first son.
When his junior brother came back he was in the field , his father sent for him so he could receive his brother but he refused.
When he finally came back, he told the father an interesting thing. He asked him "I have ever wrong you"? His father said no, and he said then why have you not given anything. His father told him, son you have everything.
He lived in his father's house but could not access his father's wealth, but his junior brother left and still came back to enjoy more.
Let us guard our heart, because everyone is worthy of blessing, be it a bad person
people we think are not worthy.
Let us live in the abundance of God's mercy, knowing that he can mend our ways.
The first son was ignorance of the surplus blessing of the father, so he was jealous of the one that knew it and enjoyed it.
Conclusion :
Let us key into the blessings of God and not live as though he is not rich, no matter how we lavish it, he is ways enough for us.
Let us not judge any man by his ways because God is always merciful to fix them back.
