Grace for you today !
Beholding Jesus is Knowing the Father’s inheritance!
“And the younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything.”
Luke 15:12, 14-16 NKJV
The Scripture portion taken this morning is from what is famously known as the parable of the prodigal son, who estranged himself from his father, taking with him what was rightfully his inheritance from his loving father.
He spent all of it in prodigal living and the Word says that there arose a famine and since he didn’t have any resources left to sustain himself & he began to be in want. He lacked even the basic necessities such as food, clothes, shelter & also good friends who could have bailed him out or friends who could work like destiny connectors like Mordecai in the life of Esther, who became Queen. Esther was raised to her God ordained destiny because Mordecai was her destiny connector.
But, if we look intently at the reason behind this famine, the Spirit teaches us that there was actually a famine of the father’s love in the son’s life first of all. This was caused by the personal choice of the son by estranging himself from the father.
Yes my beloved, let’s return to our Heavenly Daddy God!
And feeding on the Father’s love daily will keep you closest to Him just the way John the beloved Apostle kept himself in the bosom of Jesus( love of God ). The 180 degree turnaround in the son’s life took place because of the realisation of this divine truth.
Prayer: Father, grant me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation of thyself and of Jesus your most beloved Son in Jesus name ! Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
