TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON 5: Self Affliction
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 15:14
“15 Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.”
The prodigal son squandered his wealth. He lavished his inheritance in a far country without a mentor and experience, and he suffered for it. He inflicted himself with suffering. He became a slave in a far country where he was once honoured. I pray for someone today, may you not be the cause of your affliction in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. There at home was his brother, who was seen as a fool, working day and night, having no room for pleasure, but still had his inheritance untouched while he who taught he’s wise is now a slave to people he could feed some times ago.
Many Christians has fallen victim of affliction. They’ve afflicted themselves with some curses in the name of enjoyment, wealth and position in the name of being opportune to help people and they couldn’t deliver. The way we treat others, how we talk arrogantly, (even some men of God are not left out). Everything we do today is either afflicting us or blessing us. Many are placed where they do not belong all because of the way they treated others in time past. What is that ego controlling you? What do you have that makes you feel above the heavens? Remember, everything that goes up can comes down. Stop using your today against your tomorrow. Use every opportunity well in order to build a good tomorrow. A rich man today can still become the poor man tomorrow and can become more richer, don’t be a victim rather a victor. God bless you all.
Good Morning.
