 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD WEDNESDAY 20TH NOVEMBER, 2024 TEXT: Luke 15:20-21 [20]And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. [21]And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (7)              One of the events that was noted in the scripture that brought joy in heaven is when a sinner find his way back to God. God is loving and compassionate to the extent that he is not interested in the death of sinner but rather repentance . The prodigal son’s story illustrated this.           The son was thinking that he has done so bad and deserved to be disowned. The father was not interested in his stories because he saw sincerity in his heart and a change of mind. The father had seen him afar off, the joy of seeing him again in his domain overwhelmed him that he wa

LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (6)

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD TUESDAY 19TH NOVEMBER, 2024 TEXT: Luke 15:18-19 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (6)        Genuine repentance takes place at the heart, it is accompany with corresponding actions of forsaking the old ways of living and instantaneous change of attitude. God looks at the heart, a contrite heart, he cannot despise, he knows truly those that have repented and he is ever willing to receive and accept them back.       Some people linger in sins because they feel that they have done terrible things which warrant bigger punishment and they are ready to die in their sins rather than confess and turn away from it. The prodigal son was willing to face the punishment and consequences of his action. His story was a parable Jesus used to explain genuine repentance at work. Take a

LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (5)

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD MONDAY 18TH NOVEMBER, 2024 TEXT: Luke 15:17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (5)         The path to repentance starts from knowing that you are on a wrong path and willingness to have a change of mind by making a choice to turn away from the old path if sin that lead to death and destruction. It does not profit God if anyone dies in sin and it is his desire that all make it to heavenly home.         The prodigal son came to his senses, sins have darkened his reasons, he could no longer think straight, he had forgotten path of holiness, he had forgotten teachings of his father, he had lost his goals and life visions. He knew that he had gone astrayed and was willing to get back on his feet. Are you in your right spiritual state? Think about it and come to repentance today before it is too late.

LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (4)

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SUNDAY 17TH NOVEMBER, 2024 TEXT: Luke 15:15-16 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (4)  Believers are citizens of heavens and ambassadors of God on earth. The earth is not our home, we are sojourners and will return home someday. As Christians it is expected of us not to get ourselves tangle with worldly affairs and our affections should be on things above and not on worldly things. The prodigal son forgot that he was God’s ambassador, the scripture said he went and joined himself to a citizen. He lost his identity with the world, lost focus and sense of direction. What he got was ridicule , pains and disappointments. Do not join or get mixed up with the world that you forget your heavenly citizenship. Remember your identity in Christ and live

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SATURDAY 16TH NOVEMBER, 2024 TEXT : Luke 15:14 [14]And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (3)      Life is temporary , nothing goes on forever, God permit uncertainties in life to draw attention of humanity to him. If life goes as planned at all times, men would trust in their wisdom and understanding. Whatever God has given you to enlarge his kingdom will finish if you do not spend it appropriately.        The son spent all. He did not save for rainy season. Probably he thought that he is too rich to be poor again. He lacked financial intelligence to sustain kingdom wealth. When you have more than enough, learn to invest and multiply wealth. Investment is one of the secrets of wealthy people. Savings is not enough, learn to invest appropriately ,have multiple streams of income in such a way that if one business stop working, others will work. Action point: Do

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD THURSDAY 14TH NOVEMBER 2024 TEXT: LUKE 15:12 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. TOPIC: LESSONS FROM THE PRODIGAL SON (1)           The fatherhood of God was illustrated in this parable and it is full of practical lessons for believers. God is a father who will not withhold anything good from his children. The prodigal son knew the worth of his father, he was aware of his portion with him and at a time he humbly requested for his own portion. His father did not deny him his request, he knew that he was mature enough to handle his allocation.              God is a giver of all good things. He is a father and knows what you actually need to survive in life. God will not give you your portion if you do not ask. Do not assume that he knows and he will give you. The reason Jesus Christ said “ask and it shall be given to you”. That great need of yours, have you tal
