Bible Texts: Lk.15:11-18, Ps.51:1-10, Lam.3:22, Rom.6:1, 2Cor.5:17, Rom.12:1-3, Jn.3:16, Heb.13:8, Ps.1:1-3, 1Jn.5:17, Philp.2:13
Today’s message is that of repentance and restoration for the husbandman who has backslide and fallen into sin and error and has concluded there is no hope for him in God. The Spirit of the Lord is saying to you as you read this devotion that you should return to your heavenly Father, regardless of how far you have gone disobeying the commandments of God for you as the man, husband and father. Your heavenly Father’s arm is wide open to receive you and forgive you of all your trespasses.
I will arise and go to my father and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before thee (Lk.15:18)
The summary of the Scripture is that of a son who wasted all that his father gave him as his inheritance in a strange land and began to suffer the consequences. When he could no longer bear the pain, he decided to return to his father. That is what God wants for you right now.
You may have wasted the opportunities to act like the good and godly man, husband and father. Nevertheless, God wants to restore you back to a life of honour, dignity and responsibility. God wants you to live a righteous life and do what He commands you to do as the good and godly man, husband and father (Jn.3:16).
God’s love for you is not conditional. He loved you yesterday. He still loves you today and He will continue to love you till eternity. His loving kindness is ever new.
Are you ready to return to your heavenly Father through Jesus Christ?
As you return to your heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, in sincere repentance, you must be very careful of being blackmailed by satan, who will want to remind you of your past mistakes. Anytime satan reminds you of your past, remind him also of your new life in Christ Jesus and keep pleading the blood of Jesus Christ over your life (2Cor.5:17, Rev.12:11).
Your heavenly Father is waiting for you. Go quickly to Him. He loves you.
SPIRITUAL EXERCISE
- Father, in the Name of Jesus, forgive me of all my trespasses and have mercy upon me.

FAITH CONFESSION
I return to my heavenly Father, repenting from all my transgression, and I am now restored and accepted into the beloved again because I want to live a life pleasing unto God as the good and godly husbandman in Jesus name. Amen.
