ABIDE


Text:  Luk 15:12.


 *The younger one told his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So the father divided his property between them.* 


 The story of the prodigal son is one of the popular stories told by Jesus. 


After the younger son had collected his share of the father's inheritance, he gathered everything he owned and traveled to a distant country. There he wasted it all on wild living.


After he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. Luke 15:14.


Now, this son's offence was not just that he collected his share of the inheritance, as a matter of fact, collecting his inheritance was not a sin because the father later told the elder brother that he was free to have whatever he so desired, Luke 15:31.


The sin was that he walked away from the father. *Whatever blessing that makes you walk away from the presence of God is a curse in disguise.* 


After he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. Luke 15:14.


 *The moment you are disconnected from the source, it's a matter of time, you'll soon experience dryness.* 


 *True blessing is gotten when you stay connected to the source of the blessing.* 


The Psalmist says a blessed man is like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Psalms 1:3.


That is, *to stay blessed,  you must stay connected to the source,* you must learn to abide in the father.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


Father, help me to stay connected to you all the days of my life.



 *PRAYER FOCUS* 



 *Bible Reading* 


Luke 15:11-32.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
