The prodigal son is wise - Pst Babafemi Fekoya


According to the book of luke chapter 15 verse 12
a certain man had two sons(The father is God, the first son
is a faithfull child of God and the second is a new convert or unbeliever)
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.


Now the reason the prodigal son was wise is because he requested for his
own portion in time not waiting until he fathe grows old
he wanted to start making use of his blessing on time because
his father is too wealthy for him to be poor.

verse 13 says and not many days after the young son gathered
all together(gathered all his blessings). and there wasted his substance with
riotous living (Sin) when he had spen all, there arose a great famine in the land
and he began to suffer,(punishment of sin). Now the reason why he is called "prodigal son"
was because he did not invest, he went about going to clubs, drinking, womanizing,etc.
and forgot that his father who gave him the wealth. some of you are rich, instead of you
to use your money to serve and give God glory, you are spending the money in the lust
of the flesh; not paying your tithes,offerings,not acknowledging him who gave you the substance.
why do you think God will not take it away from you or is it by your power?
So then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but iof God that showeth mercy ( Romans 9 v 16). Stop playing with Gods mercy.

Verse 18 says; and when he came to himself (Acknowleged his sin) he said i will arise and go to my father and
i will say unto him, father i have sinned against heaven, and before thee, am no more worthy to be called
thy son: make me as one of your hired servants .
And he arose and came to his father and when his father saw him, he had compassion, and ran,
and fell on his neck and kiss him (God is ready to welcome you back).
And he said unto his father, father, i have sinned against heaven and thy sight and am no more worthy
to be called your son (confession of sin) but the father said unto his servants, bring forth the best robe and put on him,
and put a ring on his hand and a ring in his feet (As you come back to christ, he will wear you a new garment and remove the
garment of sin......amen
They killed the fatest calf and start to merry( there is ajoy in heaven when a sinner repents Luke 15:10)

And the elder son(a believer) came seeing his brother merrying, he became angry and walked to his father and said
these many years do i served thee neither transgressed i at any time thy commandment:and thou had never gavest me a kid,(money or wealth) that
i might make merry with my friends, but as soon as thy son(the unbeliever) was come which have devoured thy living(wealth) with harlots,
thou has killed for him the fatted calf (big blessing) and his father said unto him son, thou art ever with me and all that i have is thine...

This is what is happening in the church today, many unbelievers/new commers will come to the church and recieve there miracles and go while
you as a faithful child of God is poor and afflicted, why? You have not requested from your God, even if you have requested; the blessing is with you but
you dont want to take them. take your blessings through fasting, prayer, praises, worship, paying your tithes, offerings and sowing of seed.
the reason why is like that is because as a child of God, you have ticket to God's blessings.to Gods blessing through Gods mercy, they get it.
I PRAY FOR SOMEBODY...AS A FAITHFULL CHILD OF GOD, YOU WILL NOT BE POOR.....EVERY GARMENT OF POVERTY, DELAY, SHAME, DISGRACE BE DESTROYED.....AMEN!!!
