COME OUT OF THE DUNGHILL PART 5 (THE PRODIGAL SON AND THE POWER OF MEDITATION): LUKE 15:11-24

Psalm 113:7(He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people).

Psalm121:1(I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth).

As we continue in this segment; it is very important to note that some are in the dunghill because they led themselves there. But no matter what happens or the mistake that has been made in the past that led to your dethronement; in this Kingdom where we belong our father is a merciful God and He has made a way for our return. He will not force you to return, He expects you to make that decision by yourself. The prodigal son is our case study today; he practically led himself to the dunghill and began to drag food with the swine. He did not even find a space among the poor; he had to share space with the dirtiest creature. That’s how bad his situation was and that’s how low he went deep into the valley. That will not be your portion in Jesus name. Luke 15:14(And when he spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he send him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said how many hire servants of my father have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger). The prodigal son was a wealthy prince; he collected his inheritance and squandered it and was reduced to piggery level. When he remembered where he used to be and his heritage. He engages the power of meditation and comes up with a solution to his problem. Every genuine meditation will always bring about a positive solution. Meditation is one of the keys to our success as we continue our journey here on earth. Sometimes we need to examine ourselves and our situation; you need to think deeply and ask a genuine question; why am I in this situation and how can I get out of this mess that I found myself or put myself in. The answer will definitely come and God has the answer to all questions. He is  a question answering God (Jeremiah 33:3). The prodigal son recognized that immediately; he returned home to plead with his father and to ask him for forgiveness. He actually received more than he expected; he wanted to ask his father to hire him as one of his servants but his Father was so happy that he returned; before he could ask for forgiveness he stretched out his hand and received him. Not only was he forgiven, he was reinstated into his estate with a welcome party. He got his throne back to the envy of his brother; that’s the kind of father that we have in God. He is always eager to receive us and forgive our trespasses no matter how horrible it may look. All He requires from us is a genuine repentance. What a wonderful father. Luke 15:20(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). Friends, I don’t know your situation right now but I am sure of God’s kindness and Love for you and me. In case you have collected your inheritance and misuse them I have good news for you. Our God is kind, don’t miss this opportunity, His hand is already stretching out towards you, run quickly and embrace him today and watch him restore you back to the original image he has created you to be. You are a royal diadem, a crown of glory to the LORD, a chosen generation called forth to show His excellence; so stop eating with the swine and come back home. If you are not yet his son or daughter; in this family there is a place for you and it is a beautiful mansion. Please come quickly and take your place by praying this simple salvation prayer below.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
