When God Ran

Luke 15:22: β€œBut the father said to his servants, β€˜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 β€” the robe of righteousness β€” 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 β€” 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:
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.

  11. The love of the father to us is never dated. Either in the past or the future, it is limitless.
    He wants the best for us because he loves us.
    We need to keep reminding ourselves of this because the devil has a way of throwing things at us in order for us to question that love.

  25. Evangelist Margaret Jesuorobo

    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.

    SERING THIS HERE IN THIS WONDERFUL LOVE STORY AS A FATHER AND SON. THEY DEFINITELY HADCA GOOD LOVING RELATIONSHIP BEFORE THE SON WENT AWAY FROM THE FATHER’S PRESENCE, ONLY TO SUFFER UNNECESSARILY.

    BUT THE FATHER GAVE HIM FREE WILL JUSTVLIKE OUR HEAVENLY GAVE US ABD HE HAS SAID, I GIVE LIFE , I GIVE DEATH CHOSE LIFE.

    OUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS WAITING FOR US TO COME BACK TO RECONCILE BACK WITH HIM. HIS WORD SAYS.. IT IS NOT MY WILL THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH.

    PASTOR TAUGHT US OF GOD’S HEART BEAT πŸ’“ IT’S EVANGELISIM. JUST AS THE FATHER IN THIS STORY WAS JOYFUL ABD THROW THE BIGGEST PARTY πŸ₯³ πŸŽ‰ 🀣 FOR THE RETUN OF HIS SON.

    THIS IS HOW THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN ARE ALWAYS REJOICING WHEN SOULS ARE WON FROM THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS TO THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT.

    LET US MAKE PAPA GOD JOYFUL BY EVANGELISIM.

    THAT IS HIS HEART BEAT πŸ’“ THAT NONE SHOULD PERISH.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH PASTOR FOR THIS POWERFUL DEVOTIONAL SIR. I AM TRULY BLESSED. MORE GRACE AND INCREASED STRENGTH SIR. SHALOM

    THANK YOU FOR SHARING BRO GBENGA GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU STRONG IN HIM. AMEN
