Luke chapter 15 verse 29 to 31

In this popular parable of the prodigal son, Jesus Christ taught us the story of two christians, both were born into Christianity, they conducted mass, sang in the choir, led prayer welfare and warfare, brokedown the word of God in Sunday school and bible study, but they still had different characteristics.

SON "ONE"

One day, the younger son, the new generation kid, the one who likes trend, discovered that there is another part of the world, a part you don't need to clap hands but twerk your waist, the place you don't need to dress decent but wear whatever, the place where elders do not advise you because they do not see anything wrong in what you are doing, the place you eat and make merry from night till dawn, not a place you preach and pray. So he told himself, enough of this boring life with so much rules and regulations, so much dos and don'ts, it is time to port to the other side where the network is glowing. He went to his father (God), the One who knows the heart of men, the One who understands the situation we are in, the One who sees tomorrow from today and knows the end from our yesterday, he said Luke 15:12 , and without any arguments, without any disturbance, he shared his properties and gave it to the son, he gave him that his dream job, he gave her that husband she has been crying about, that baby she promised to serve him with, that house he has always pray to have, he gave him everything and this everything made him to start giving excuses why he is no longer in his service room. He said, oh I won't be able to come to church today I am working on Sunday. She said her baby always cries during service so she stopped coming so she don't disturb others. Before I take care of my husband the rehearsal time is over. The place I relocated to is very far from the church. We hold lectures on Saturdays so I need Sundays to rest and arrange myself for Monday. And the one who gave you this property is just somewhere far away looking at you chapter 20, waiting for you, praying you don't lose the most important thing (your life) why you are busy chasing earthly things he provided for your comfort and domination. This son took his properties, enjoyed the life the property gave, celebrated with people who are in the same shoes and give bad mouth to people who are still consistent in the service of the father. The son was consumed by the enjoyment that he forgot the father (God) who gave him the properties he was enjoying. And then the famine came chapter 14, the problems came, the husband who is supposed to be a source of joy became a source of pain, the child starts becoming wayward, your boss start taking hit at you making your job to become unsecured and your lecturers said you will never pass his course. All this time your father is far away looking, but because of your ego you say no to him, you say you can do it on your own, you say it is not yet out of hand, and your father is still far away looking and waiting, waiting for you to tag him so he can fight it all for you, but your ego won't let you go back to him.

This son was so stubborn that it took him losing his job. She became a punching bag to her husband. The child joined a cult group and became the source of her sleepless night. The lecturer had his way with her and still failed her. He got HIV AIDS because he refused to let go of womanizing. His organs began to fail him because it has absorbed too much cigarettes and alcohol, chapter 15 and 16. it took him this far before he remember that he has a father who has all the answers and solutions to his problem chapter 17 to 19. And the Bible recorded that after everything, just like in the case of Saul who turned Paul, the son got up and head back home, he answer the call of salvation and was worn a new garment of righteousness and a welcome party was thrown for him chapter 22 to 24 because there is joy in heaven over one man who repent, one man who say enough of this earthly suffering, it is time to set my eyes on the prize of enternity, it is time to forget about the things that seemeth right unto a man and the end is destruction, it's time to pick up my bag and walk home. For the Bible recorded that the father saw him, run to him with a compassion filled heart, threw his arms around him and kiss him passionately chapter 20. And the son continued to remain in the father's house, lived right in the ways of his father and enjoy the benefits of salvation.

So my brethren, most times it takes you coming face to face with the worst situations for you to remember your maker, some people never recover from the situation you are going through and now they are dead without a chance of redemption, but God is patiently waiting from a far place, hoping you will surrender to Him now you are still alive because He is always willing to accept you and place you back on His plans

SON "TWO"

The second son who was with the father, serving in his father's vineyard, involving in evangelism, follow up, choir, bible studies, sanitation etc, but his heart was not set on the father whom he is serving, his heart was set at the son who was out of the father's house enjoying life chapter 30. Yes he was serving his father but his heart was not genuine, he was busy serving to get recognition chapter 29, he was serving yet he knew what the unbelievers are doing and how they are enjoying their wealth, he was serving yet he knew that the man who just got a job has moved from a room apartment to a four bedroom flats and he was still in a room, she knew that the lady who just got married was taken to London for vacation by her husband yet she is still single, she knew that the friend who just got admitted is now on sprayed hair and torn jeans with sleaveless hand moving around school but she hasn't gotten admitted, he knew that his friend turns up from parte after parte and he has kept himself clean. This son was serving but his mind wasn't in the service he was rendering, his eyes were set on seeing the enjoyment, the fake smiles and Instagram likes the other sons uploaded, but he never knew the challenges the other son was going through. Because he was in the field working do not mean he was having full understanding of his father's ways. He was with his father (God) but he was not aware of his father's principles, his father says

"DO NOT JUDGE SO YOU WON'T BE JUDGED".

I DID NOT COME FOR THOSE WHO ARE SAVED BUT FOR THE SINNERS".

"A SHEPHERD MUST LOOK FOR HIS ONE SHEEP EVEN WITH HIS 99" .

"THERE IS JOY IN HEAVEN OVER A SINNER WHO REPENTS".

And because he did not understand the ways of his father (God) in whom he was serving, even when time came for him to make a request for his service he asked for little chapter 29. He was serving a father (God) who shared his properties into half and still has much remaining to give to the son who came back (sinner who repents). Yet because of his lack of understanding of his father, he asked for just a young goat for himself and his friends. He was in the service of the provider, the owner of all, the one with the world in His palm, the one with the Governors, Prime ministers, Presidents on his shoulders, Yet when this son asked, out of fear, out of lack of self-confidence and awareness, out of lack of understanding, he asked for little forgetting he owns all things chapter 31.

You might be in the service of God and your heart is still set on the things of the world, it wil onlyl take little things for you to shift from the second son you are now to the first son and you might not get the opportunity to return like the prodigal son.

The one who made you know that the race of Christianity is not an easy one, He was crucified for it, but He is asking you to work in his field and focus on His purpose, do not get distracted by earthly pleasures but the things of God should be your number one priority and at the end "ALL THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU " , Matthew 6:33.

@nbstudio and @nb_d_star

Do not add to the truth of Jesus Christ and do not remove !

It will be bettter for you to hang a millstone around your neck and cast yourself into the sea than for you to, by enhancing or reducing His truth lead His own to sin.

Where are the curses in revelation on those who add to the Bible?

Plagues!
