LOST AND FOUND

Text: Luke 15:32.

 *But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come back to life. He was lost and has been found.’”* 

In Luke chapter fifteen, Jesus told the story of the loving Father. From this story, it's clear that we have two kinds of people in the Church depicted by two brothers.

The first, which is generally known as the prodigal son represents the  backsliding Christians, and the second who was referred to as 'the elder brother' represents the religious Christians. 

Note that the prodigal son was not an unbeliever. He was a son to the Father. He was a son who strayed away from God. He squanders his inheritance, experiences hardship, and eventually came to the realization of his sins and requests to be a hired servant. His humility and repentance led to a joyous reunion with his father, who embraces him back as a son.

The Father gladly declared that His son was lost and found.
He received him with open arms and jubilation.

Our heavenly Father is still lovingly waiting to receive you back if only you will turn to Him. He says in John 6:37 that He will by no means cast away those who turn to Him.

At times, the devil can deceive you that you have moved too far away from God, that you can't go back to Him. Know that this is a lie. the prodigal son received a Fatherly welcome because he chose to go back to the Father. Choose to go back to God.

Romans 5:8 says, But *God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.* If God allowed His son, Jesus Christ to die for you while you were still a sinner, He is more than ready to accept you now that you have known Him.

Proverbs 24:16 says for though a righteous man falls seven times, he will rise again. What makes a righteous man is not that he can't fall, but that he will not stay fallen, he will rise again.

You can also rise again and return back to the Father today.

 *Bible Reading :* 

Luke 15:11-32.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to always come back to you and to stay by your side always in Jesus name.

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...
