The Parable of the #PRODIGAL SON (Luke 15:1-32)
According to Chapter 17-19 of Luke Chapter 15, "When he (THE PRODIGAL SON) came to himself he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger. I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, 19 and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.”
THE PRODIGAL SON never returned back home arrogantly or with any riotous attitude. He was very sober and prepared to even become one of the hired servants in his own biological father's empire and accept only what his father got to offer him.
It was this show of, remorseful, soberness and apologetic manner he adopted that made the father rushed towards him and declared merriment (Chapter 20) .............Oro po ninu iwe Luukuu.

Fast forward to Chapter 28 when the elder son came back from the field and met the house in ceremonial mood.......... But as a father (not ordinary sperm donor) who understands the pains of the elder son who has remained with him all through.
He (the father) said to HIS LOYAL SON “Son, YOU ARE ALWAYS WITH ME, AND ALL THAT I HAVE YOURS. It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found.”

THERE MUST BE SPECIAL REWARD FOR STEADFASTNESS, PERSEVERANCE, LOYALTY, DEDICATION.
May our Loyalty not be tested.
