TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON. (Part 2) 5: Not Partiality
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 15:25-27
“25 “Now his older son was in the field. And as he came and drew near to the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked what these things meant.
27 And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and because he has received him safe and sound, your father has killed the fatted calf.’
This lesson today is one of the most important lesson to note. Most often, this has been the occurrences in churches and even in our homes. The father welcomed the prodigal son with warmth embrace, killed the fastest calf for him, which was meant to be part of the inheritance of the elder brother. He came in and was angry and refuses to join the celebration.
In Christiandom, New converts enjoys the grace of been favoured, attended to and been helped while many regular members always feel neglected. They see this as partiality and some become discourage in serving God to the extent of exiting the department, it shouldn’t be so. When God calls in new souls, they need to be cared for and show love in other to keep them in the vineyard. When the father cared for the prodigal son, it wasn’t with hatred to the elder son but with love for the lost soul. Don’t react to the love shown to those who repent of their ways, don’t be envious of them, join in showing them the love of God. You are not hated, you are a saved vessel already, be glad for that lost brother of yours, He/she was lost but now found. Welcome them with warmth embrace as God welcome them.
Good Morning.
