ANOTHER CHANCE

Text: “But the father said to his servants, bring forth the best robe, and put on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.” Luke 15:22

He had all the opportunity in the world but wasted it. Wasted his father’s trust, wasted his inheritance, and wasted his time. Justice would have said it’s over with him. The father forgave him and took him back. This is the summary of the story of the prodigal son.

As far as God is concerned there is always another chance for us. The time we wasted, the opportunities we lost can never be a
hindrance to what God wants to do in our lives today. The prodigal son was restored back to his dignity, restored back to his place and restored back to his destiny. The blood of Jesus is powerful enough to completely erase the past and give us a new beginning.

It can never be over with you as far as God is concerned. The lost relationship, the lost job or business in not the end of the road. What the devil meant for evil can become a comeback for you as you learn to return back to God. He’ll give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning and the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. A new day is ahead of you. Make up your mind not to waste another chance.

Every new day, new month and New Year that God gives is another chance to re-write the story of our lives. The history will only remain powerful and intimidating if we refuse to write another story today. Today is another chance of your life to make the most of your life. Don’t waste it.

PRAYER:

In the name of Jesus I break the hold of the past on my life. I disconnect from every mistake of the past. In Christ my honour is restored. I step into what belongs to me today. New opportunities are opening for me today in every area of my life.
