Andrew Wommack Daily Devotional 24 July 2024 Message
God’s Word makes it clear that the wages of sin is death (Rom. 6:23). Romans 1:18-20 reveals that even those who don’t know God’s Word have an intuitive knowledge of right and wrong and God’s judgment against sin.
Therefore, for anyone to live in sin, as depicted by this prodigal son, they have to be deceived. This is exactly what the Bible says is the case in 2 Corinthians 4:4. When Jesus said, ‘he came to himself,’ He was referring to the deception being removed and the son’s spiritual eyes being opened.
Like this story of the prodigal, tragedy often brings people out of deception and back to their senses. It’s not that God sends the tragedy. God spoke through the prophet Jeremiah, ‘Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee’ (Jer. 4:18).
However, tragic situations do clearly illustrate that ‘it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps’ (Jer. 10:23), and they cause us to look somewhere else for help. Although turning to God is always beneficial, regardless of what provides the motivation, ‘hard knocks’ are not the best teacher.
Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, ‘All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.’ God’s Word was given for reproof and correction and if we will submit to it, we can ‘be perfect, thoroughly furnished’ without having to experience tragedy first.
Note: Do you need to receive the healing touch of Christ? Or do you have a personal testimony you would like to share? You can if you first accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior by saying this prayer:
Jesus Trends Salvation Prayer
Heavenly Father,
I come to You in humility and repentance, acknowledging my sins and my need for Your grace. Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I confess You as my Savior and Lord.
Forgive me, cleanse me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I turn away from my sinful ways and open my heart to You. Take control of my life and guide me in Your truth.
If you joined in that life-changing prayer, congratulations! We are happy that you have surrendered your life to Jesus!
