DCLM Children Daily Devotional July 06, 2020 By Pastor W.F Kumyi – The Prodigal Son
MONDAY JULY 6, 2020
TOPIC: THE PRODIGAL SON
BIBLE TEXT: LUKE 15:20-24
Key Verse: "And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son" (Luke 15:21).
The young man suddenly became rebellious. He asked his father for his portion of inheritance and left the family to live in another city. He went to a far country, became a prodigal, and wasted all that he collected from his father. His family thought he was dead because they had not heard from him for a long time. Some boys and girls are like this young man, they want to follow the way of the world, not willing to remain under the control of their godly parents and teachers.
The prodigal son however realized his foolishness and sinful state, and decided to go back to his father. He was accepted and forgiven. Likewise, our heavenly Father is willing to forgive and take back backsliders who repent and turn away from their sins. If you have gone astray, Jesus is willing and waiting to accept you back unto Himself. Come back home today.
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to repent of all my sins today.
