RISE
TO THE TOP
Luke 15 : 7
Romans 13 : 11- 12
In creation, God created man as a
being in his class and placed him in charge and above all of his creation. However
man fell from grace because of sin and lost his place and glory which the
father bequeathed him and has continued to struggle with the elements of this world being in subjection until the coming of our
Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.
The prodigal son in luke 15, typically
exemplifies the state of man today as he struggles to navigate through life,
having gone away from his father's covering and was reduced to ridicule and
shame until he came to himself, an awakening of his spirit man to his original
position when he was with his father and made a turnaround decision to return
to the top. In Genesis 39, we see Joseph made the decision to rise above the
mediocrity of infidelity and advances of his master's wife, and God honoured
his decision and took him far beyond his wildest imagination.
