Blind To Privilege

Son, you are always with me, all that is mine is yours. (Luke 15:31)

All that is mine is yours … that’s my frustration, it’s yours Dad; not mine. I want the control and benefit personally without accountability to you or anyone for it.

Blind to Privilege
1. Son, you are always with me … this privilege of association needs to be respected as it will grant you insight and wisdom in conducting successful day to day operations which in turn will positively impact your quality of life in an ongoing way.
2. Learning how to make things happen and maintain momentum doesn’t come automatically to anyone – it must be learnt from those who know how. What a privilege when you are invited to learn.
3. Potential and opportunity are both existing yet definitely hidden resources to everyone. Discerning either requires a quiet confidence they exist and a commitment to find them, with encouragement along the way from those who have gone before and been successful.
4. Because of the association you’ll be positioned, equipped and trained to have as much as your mentor or far more, why not? i.e. The Rockefeller family – the association with the name Rockefeller alone would open multiple opportunities. There is however one who is greater in power, influence and resource than Rockefeller yet demands association and relationship to benefit from his availability and Kingdom resource.
5. Cultivating the spirit to achieve demands humility and the hunger to stay connected to the teacher until a working understanding is produced in the pupil.

The attitude demonstrated by the son is appalling as no wealth gained will last or function without prudent management and business savvy. The Father’s resource was already accessible by his son to enjoy and benefit from and was never an issue with the father. He was concerned that even though his son was physically with him, his heart wasn’t and thus wouldn’t be capable of maintaining or multiplying the privilege he had been afforded.

Bitterness and resentment will always blind you to privilege and with it opportunity … be warned!

Every day, somebody, somewhere is crying for a savior! “Who will we send? …Here I am Lord send me.” (Isa 6:8) The Father already knows what you have need of, before you even ask … Ask in Jesus’ Name

God bless you and keep you in His unfolding love in Jesus’ name. Amen
