When God Ran
Luke 15:22: “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet.
If you are a believer, you are probably familiar with the touching story of the prodigal son that Jesus shared. Who do you think the father in the story represents? Jesus’ Father in heaven, of course. Jesus was giving us a picture of His Father, who is also our Father.
In the story, the father was seen running toward his son, who was returning home. (Luke 15:20) Do you realize that God is never described as being in a hurry in the Bible? He is always cool and composed. The only time He is portrayed as being in a hurry is in this story. Though improper in Jewish culture, the father held up his robe and ran. Where was he running to? Why was he in such a hurry?
The father was in a hurry because he had seen his son, who was still a long way from home. He was running toward his son as he could not wait to embrace and kiss his child again.
The father was in a hurry to clothe his son with the best robe. My friend, our Father has put the best robe — the robe of righteousness — on us. In doing so, He has reinstated us as sons of the Most High God, a position that we had lost when Adam fell.
The father was in a hurry to put a ring on his son’s hand. Like the authority that is invested in the signet ring of a rich man’s son, our Father is eager to put back into our hands the authority to invoke His name, so that we can walk in dominion every day.
The father was in a hurry to put sandals on his son’s feet to assure him that he was still his son — only servants went about barefoot. Our Father never wants us to feel like hired servants or outcasts. We are always His sons.
Beloved, if the Father appears to be in a hurry, it is only because He is in a hurry to assure you of your position as His precious child!
Confession:

This is a very precious story & a lovely representation of God’s joy to see reconciliation and restoration. God wants what’s best for us 💓, He wants to see us coming back to Him; no matter our sin!! He desires to see us restored and reconciled to Him again as His child ✝️🙏🏾🙌🏾. He wants us to come to the point of recognition of the sonship we have with Him and the access, benefits, favour & victories we have in Him. So much so that He sent His only begotten Son to die for our sins, so that we can be reconciled to Him again legally & once & for all. What a mighty God we serve!!!✝️🥳. What a powerful reminder of God’s love and good thoughts towards us. Thank you so much sir for this devotion 🙏🏾🌸🔥

This parable is one of my favourite as it is the restoration of a believer into fellowship with God.
When we sin and sin send us far from God , he waits and watches out for our return to him as he will forgive us when we admit that we have sin and we repent.
God loves us with an everlasting, unconditional love and wants all his children to serve him in spirit and in truth.
Thank you Lord for my identity in you, I am your daughter and you are my father.
God bless you Pastor 🙏
If the Father appears to be in a hurry, it is only because He is in a hurry to assure me of my position as His precious child! Glory be to GOD.HALLELUYAH. Amen

Hallelujah in the same luke 15 verse 3Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. This devotion is very powerful one as the hole of luke 15 keep talking about the joy of the father
to see us returning to Him no matter what happened and According to Psalm 51:17 The sacrifice our Father desire is a broken spirit. HE will not reject a broken and repentant heart, Once we realise this God will received us back . He will for us is to be restored and do well for us to know He care for us .
I just say Thank you Lord for all you did ,doing and about to do in my life , I surrender Lord take me as I am .
Thank you so much pastor this so powerful and very good Good scripture that explain how much The Father love us .
I pray for more strength and grace ,fresh oil in JESUS NAME 🙏
