    Let's look at the heart of a father. Fathers are a gift from the heavenly Father. Here is a well known story Jesus told about a special father - special because Jesus was using Him to describe what the heavenly Father is really like.

    THE PRODIGAL FATHER Luke 15:11-24 11 Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them. 13 Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a ...read more

    It is true that fathers like to give rather than to receive. If they are not giving they are fixing. Anything that is broken around the house. Mothers will fix meals, patch up a skinned knee or elbow, but Dads like it most when they can fix a lawnmower

    THE PRODIGAL’S FATHER We are thankful for all of our fathers. Question: Do you know what day of the year that there are the most phone calls made???…… Mothers day. On mothers day everyone wants to call home. By contrast - What do you thinks happens on Father’s Day? The most collect Calls. Dads ...read more

    In the parable of the prodigal son, Jesus reveals God as Father who is extravagant in His love for us, welcoming both rebellious and religious sons to come home.

    The Spirit Of The Sons Of Eli/The Spirit Of Lot’s Daughters/ The Prodigal Son (The Vagabond Spirit)

    Contributed by Babatunmishe Oke on Oct 8, 2024
     | 1,069 views

    The vagabond spirit is the spirit that makes a person live an irregular life or a wandering life. Some contribution has been added from Dr D.O Olukoya's teachings.

    Throughout the Bible God speaks of the importance of parents raising their children to obey the Lord. After Lot's wife had turned back to look at Sodom and turned to salt, Lot and his two daughters fled from the plain up into the hills, where they could be safer. There were no settlements ...read more

    We don’t want to take God’s forgiveness for granted. Rather, we should be blown away by God’s grace, overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude that permeates all that we are, all that we do. And we should give this grace freely to others in forgiveness.

    Luke 15:11-32 The Prodigal God When people make mistakes, they should be punished for them! After all, they’ve brought it on themselves! And if we don’t look out after ourselves, who will? It’s a cutthroat world out there. Every person for themselves. And truth be told, it feels ...read more

    This message reveals the great grace, mercy, and love of God extended to the lost sinner. But only those willing to realize their sinful condition, and repent from the heart can be true recipients of the Father’s forgiveness and restoration.

    We live in a negative world. The Bible is full of positives. In the parable of the Prodigal Son & the Elder Brother, we see both optimism & pessimism.
