RETURN OF 1 OF THE 99

Luke 15:20

 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
--------------------------------------------
The son was long gone. He enjoyed the world to his peak. He saw that the regulations within the father's house were not his level. He wanted to find "life".

There are times we become prodigal sons and prodigal daughters. We feel the standards that God has set for us, the church has set for us are no longer at our levels. We feel we have the ability to make our lives at whatever angle that we feel and think it should be. It is bad news for some of the prodigal daughters and sons. Some go wandering and never feel they should return. They feel the weight of sin commited is unforgivable in whichever manner of repentance. They feel they have lost their worth and all they are equal to is pig's food.

It is good new today, the return of 1 of the 99 brings celebration to the house of God. But have you ever wondered why the father of the prodigal son made a celebration for the one who had returned and not for the one who had stayed? Anyway some answer is within scripture. The Pharisees questioned Jesus why his disciples never fasted during time for fasting, but rather went around and picked grain as they ate. Jesus replied and said that when He is around, they have the source, and when He is gone , they will fast. His presence was a table already made, it was a celebration ongoing.To the son who had remained faithful to his father, he was through celebrations from time to time. 

He that is in the world gets a pinch of the love of the father. His coming back to the camp is worth of joy and celebration. 
If you think you have drowned into the world and feel no need of return, know that your return is of greater joy in the house of God. It is of greater celebration. Come back from wherever you have been trapped. Busy schedules may have trapped you. Evil relationships may have trapped you. Evil agendas may have drowned you. Look back to where you were with God. Backsliding is the reduction of the original standard that one had with God before. If you related at 70 and went to 60, that is backsliding. You used to give a tithe and no longer interested, that is backsliding. Renew the standard at which you used to relate with God. Renew the love that you had for his ministry. Return and make a new celebration within his house!

                     GOD BLESS YOU

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
