The Far Country Effect. ( The Story Of The Prodigal Son Luke 15:11-16) by Nobody: 8:00pm On Mar 27, 2016
I pray that the eyes of our understanding be made open to the knowledge of truth that is in the word of God. There was certainly a son who once had everything he needed in life. He was so basked in affluence that he began to be uncomfortable with it. The bible said he one day decided to have his own portion of the inheritance and not only did he seek after his own portion , he also seek to be all alone solely depending on himself and his bounty. the bible said he went to a far country, by now i feel he had sort for counsel from his peers or had been seeing the way other people of his age enjoyed their selves. He thought to himself that it was not just going to be rich but also there was pleasure in going to a far country where you are the master of yourself, nobody is there to tell you what to do to mentor you and also to admonish you when you go wrong. not many days after the father divided his property the boy gathered everything and took off to a far country a place of riotous living where prostitutes parade in the light of day, a place of waste and regrets. and when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that far country and the boy began to be in want because nobody invest in a far country and makes it big time rather you will be in want. the far country is a strange place for whoever that is not a citizen. The boy went and joined himself to a citizen of that far country so that he can eat at least once in a day, this citizen made him do jobs that slaves could do,he sent this boy to the field to feed swines. As dirty as the swine and its environs can be , the boy would fain have filled his belly with the husks,chaffs and remnant of the swines food. The bible said no man gave him. But thanks be to God that he came to himself and God took the glory of restoring him to his position of son-ship. Beware of the far country
