Prodigal principles

It is not how we start...but how we finish, always remembering that God sees the beginning from the end. We can all learn from the prodigal son in LK 15:17-20. These are the Prodigal Principles.

1. We must come to the end of ourselves first


2. We must speak it-"I will arise and go to my father..."


3. We must humble ourselves-although the prodigal worked in "pig slop", it still required a degree of humility to return to the father because of pride


4. We must repent-
   

   And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.



5. 
   

   We must do what we say we are going to do.



6. 
   

   We must accept the good-Join the party or more accurately realize that the heavenly host are rejoicing when we repent
