TOPIC – The Prodigal Experience (1) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 4 October 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 7, Jeremiah 8, John 15, John 16.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Luke 15:11-24 (KJV)
11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
19 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 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.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
MEMORY VERSE: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28 (KJV)

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: May you be delivered from every worldly attraction, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
A man had two sons. The elder brother remained with the father while the younger one took his inheritance, left for an unknown land, lived a riotous life and squandered his possessions. The end of the story is that he “came to himself,” woke up to the reality, and determined he would return to his father in repentance and humility, having suffered so much. For the prodigal son, it was a turning point for good. He was not expecting a celebration. All he wanted was his father’s forgiveness and acceptance.
Surprisingly, he got more than he expected; a warm and loving embrace from the father, a celebration to mark his return, and a change of garment which he did not consider fit for himself, considering the wastage. This is God’s way of receiving the prodigal, and restoring the lost but found, making him or her a bonafide son or daughter of the kingdom.
Perhaps you are like the prodigal son. You have strayed very far from your Maker, and you have lived life on your own terms for a long time. The truth of God to you today is that you can still return and receive His acceptance. No matter how long and how far away you have gone, He will take you if you come to Him. As long as there is life, there is still hope. Don’t let the devil deceive you into thinking that your sins are too great to be forgiven.
It is a good thing that the prodigal son did not die in a strange land, but he was able to return to the father. You also have a chance to return to your Father in Heaven while you are still alive. Death seals judgement. Do not wait until you die to return to your Maker. He is calling you today. Return to Him and receive His mercy and forgiveness.
