Bible Text: Luke 15:12-24

Luke 15:12

Give me attitude

The father pleaded with him but the son won’t listen

What made the son to make this request?

Because of riches, he wanted enjoyments; fashion, women, food, drinks, pleasure …

Eccl 5:10-12, Luke 12:15, 1 Timothy 6:9,10, 1Timothy 6:17-21

Riches do not last forever

A first the younger son was sick of home but later he became home-sick

The world with all its amusements can lure us

We must be careful about what the world offers us

Many of us here today are either demanding or have demanded our portion of the inheritance in terms of marriage, work, travel, healing

Verses 15,16

When he was with his father he ate well, but in the world where he thought there was enjoyment he ended up eaten swine foods

Many of us because of our association with the world are eating swine food of envy, jealousy, backbiting, witchcraft, fornication, etc.

Verses 17, 18

He came back to his right sense. Whatever wrong thing you are doing, may you come to your senses

Because we have a loving and wonderful father who is ready and looking forward to receive us
