TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON 6: Self Discovery
Memory Verse: Prov. 14:12.
“12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But it’s end is the way of death.”
Bible Reading: Luke 15:17-19
“17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you,
19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”
What a good day for the prodigal son. A day that would have come earlier when he was wealthy and young. According to a Yoruba saying, “Without suffering you can’t be wise”. Until you go through some hard time in life, you might not realise the real you. After lavishing all his wealth, he came back to his senses. He remembered how the slaves in his father’s empire do enjoy better things than how he was then. He discovered he is not fit for where he is, he’s been wrongly placed. This is the beginning of transformation.
We are where we are because we’ve not realize the real person we are meant to be. We seems to be enjoying where we are because we are not aware of where we are meant to be. Until we realise who we are, where we are meant to be and what we are called to do, we will always accept everything that comes our way. All we need do is to think of how we’ve been living our lives and ask God to make known who we are meant to be. When you discover something is wrong with the way you are, then your transformation is about to start. Are you at the right place? Are you fulfilling destiny? Is anyone following or
admiring your way of life? Are you a motivation to someone or a discouragement? As this word come to you today, I decree and declare, may you discover your placement in life in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
Good Morning.
