READ: 2Corinthians 10:4-5
“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” – John 8:32
You can have prodigal (wasteful) sons, businessmen, wives, Christians and even pastors. The list is endless. The “wasteful” tag can be fixed on anyone who misuses money, opportunities and resources, as though they were in endless supply. In all cases, wasteful people do not seem to realize what they have. They seem to walk away from very good opportunities, and simply waste the blessings of life.
You may have a good church, a good pastor, a good mother, a good father, a good husband, a good wife, or a good job. Do you realize how blessed you are?
A wasteful person may turn against the very people who helped him and walk away from excellent opportunities. What makes people behave in this way? Why did the prodigal boy walk away from his golden position, opportunities, riches and a bright future? I believe he was influenced by the devil. When someone is under the influence of evil spirits, he often does not pay heed to advice but will continue in his sin.
There are evil spirits, which influence people to waste away great opportunities that come their way.
If you are having problems in this area, do not despair. Pray and come against these evil spirits in the name of Jesus. Ask God to show you how to pray, and His Holy Spirit will teach you. Believe and confess the Word of God and you shall be delivered!
