Operation dzoka kumba series: Part 4 of 5 Title: Welcome back

Scripture reading  Luke 15:21-24

Prodigal son achisangana naBaba vake ndipo paanobva ataura mashoko ainge aronga achiri kure, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. Baba vacho ndokuti kuvaranda bring the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and shoes on his faith.

Mukomana hapana chaakumbira so far but already the father out of his love vane zvinhu zvavakutopa mwana wavo. Ndizvo zvinoitika once munhu asarudza kudzoka kuna Baba (Mwari), pane zvimwe zvinhu zvavanogona kungokupa pasina kana request. kuNyika irikure uko hauzviwane zvinhu izvozvo but once wadzoka kuna Baba unopihwa pasina kana request.

Bring the best robe, Uyai nenguo dzakaisvonaka mumupfekedze, mashoko aBaba aya.. Bhachi raakuda kupfekedzwa iri riripo pakuvharidzira marengenya aainge akapfeka. It covers his nakedness and tatters which he was wearing. Bhachi iri represents kururama kwaJesu Christu kwekuti once wadzoka kuna Baba vanokupfekedza kururama kwaChristu and vachiCover zvitadzo  zvako. Remember in Isaiah 64:6 kunonzi your own righteousness are as filthy rags before the Lord. Kururama kwako kwangofanana nemarengenya pamberi paMwari, but kana uchinge wagamuchira Jesu, GOD will cover you nekururama kwaIye Jesu Christu kusina kana chitema.

Tikaverenga kuna Zecharia 3 vs  tinoona Joshua the high priest akamira pamberi pemutumwa waMwari, and satan standing at his right hand achida kumupikisa. Verse 3 inonyatsotaura kuti Joshua ainge akapfeka nguo dzakasviba. Filthy garments. Mutumwa waMwari ndipo paanobva ati bvisai those filthy garments from Joshua and is told kuti ndichakupfekedza zvimwe. Kana Joshua apfeka nguwo dzisina kusviba kuitira kuti satan arege kuwana chekupomera paari.

Kana wauya kuna Baba kune Bhachi idzva rakakumirira, a robe of Christ’s righteousness. Ukaramba uri kunyika uko unenge wakapfeka bhachi rako rine tsvina yezvitadzo rekuti satan anenge achida kugara achingokupomera chete like  he was trying to do to Joshua. But once you are given another robe, it will cover your own faults. Dzoka kuna Baba, vakupe bhachi rekururamiswa.

The 2^nd thing chaakapiwa is a ring. this represents authority. If you read in the Bible kuna Genesis 41:42 Joseph paanogadzwa kuita Prime Minister naPharaoh anobva apihwa ring, that’s a sign of authority, a sign of power, muBook raEsther Haman paaironga kuuraya maJudha ese he was given a ring by the king as a sign yeAuthority kunzi ndakubvumidza kuita zvaunoda kuita, go ahead. (Esther 3:10). Later on when events took a turn, mambo vanotora ring iyoyo and gave it to Mordecai, as a sign yekuti Mordecai ndakupa simba. (Esther 8:2). Ring inoSignifier authority and power.

And ukaona prodigal son apihwa ring naBaba vake, it’s a sign yekuti I have given you power pamusha pano. Rega ndikuudze hama yangu kuti once wauya kuna baba, once wadzoka kuna Mwari, pane imwe authority yaunopihwa, there is power that GOD gives you. Jesus gives you the power to overcome sin, He gives you power over demons, you are given the Power of the Holy Ghost. Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Iriko (ring) power yaunopihwa kana wadzoka kuna Baba and that power you can not get it kunyika. Huya kuna baba ugamuchire simba raMweya Mutsvene.

the same ring can also represent relationship, ndokusaka uchiona kuti paya panoitwa maEngagement, mukomana anopfekedza musikana wake ring as a sign of promise that he will marry her and as a sign yeRelationship kuti uyu ndewangu uyu tambirai kure matsotsi. When they get married vese vanopfekedzana maRing as an outward sign of their relationship. Iyi ring irikupihwa prodigal son, it’s a sign yeRelationship, baba varikuedza kuda kutsvanangudza kuMwana wavo kuti you are still  my son you are not a servant or  a stranger but you are my son. John 1:12 yobva yati vese vakamugamuchira akavapa simba rekunzi vana vaMwari. Once wagamuchira Jesu you are given the authority to be called a child of GOD. relationship yaEstablishwa iyi. 1 John 3:1 Look at how great a love the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children.

He was also given a new pair of shoes,  kuitira mafambiro ake, kuti arege kufamba asina bhutsu nekuti pasi apo panopisa, pasi apo pane minzwa, pasi apo pane matoto nendove, zvinodawo kuti munhu apfeke shangu so that afambe zviri comfortable. Let me tell kuti kufamba pano pasi (living in this world) pane zvizhinji zviripo zvinotivhiringa, there are many challenges which are in the road of life but when you come to the Father, he will give you shoes to walk with, which can protect you. kana wauya kuna baba vane dzimwe shangu dzavanokuopa kuitira panofumba munyika ine minzwa inobaya you can walk over these thorns.

Baba vanodeidzira kuvaranda kuti huyai nemhuru yakakodzwa muibaye. Ngatidyei tipembere. Hapana kubatwa huku kana mbudzi but a  fattened calf. This can represent provision yeChikafu kubva kuna Baba. Ndokusaka shoko richiti musafunganya kuti muchadyei,,,tarira shiri dzedenga hadzikowe asi Mwari unongodzipa pachena wani. So far prodigal son haana chaaita chinoDeserver kuti aurayirwe mhuru, but the fact that he had returned home it’s a reason enough. Once wadzoka kuna Mwari, he will take care of the bread and butter issues. Psalms 37:25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

Pazvinhu zvese zvaapihwa izvi pane chaakumbira here, hapana but baba vangomupa havo.

Mukomana uyu apihwa zvinhu zvekuti agare pamba, pabate ipapo, the father did not give him imwe pfuma yekuti adzokere kunyika irikure but vamupa zvinhu zvekuti agare pamba. Ndiyo problem inogona kuita mumwe munhu yekuti kana auya kunaBaba anouya aine wrong motive, anouya achida kukumbira pfuma yekuti adzoke kunyika kunofara. Anouya kunonamata kuti Mwari vamuropafadze nemari so that adzokere futi kubhawa. Anouya kunonamata kuti Mwari vamupe mota so that adzokere kuNyika kunovhairira vavengi, anouya kuna baba kuti vamupe mari yekurukwa brazillian so that “maHaters” vamuone…wakauda kuti Mwari vakupe zvinhu zvekuti udzokere futi kunyika kwawakatiza.

James 4:3 yoti When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. Kukumbira unogona kukumbira hako but kana uine wrong motive yemafaro, GOD does not give you.

Hanzi naBaba For this my son was dead, and is alive again; Nokuti mwanakomana wangu uyu akanga afa, zvino araramazve. mumaRecords aBaba vainge vakaRecorder kuti mwana wangu akafa but when he came back home vakabva vati mwana wangu araramazve. Read through the Bible uone kuti prodigal son paane paakafa here, hapana, ko nhai what is the father saying kuti my son was dead,,,mwana wavo ainge afa….ukaverenga 1 Timothy 5:6 inoti But the one who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. This son paaiva ari kunyika iri kure he was living for pleasure, no wonder why he was considered to be dead. Checker life yako, hauzi urikuraramira mafaro chete here, are you not living for the purposes of pleasure. Turn back udzoke kuna baba.

Iwe unenge uchitoti I am alive but kuna Mwari you are dead. Remember paya Jesu paanoudza His disciple kuti let the dead bury their own dead. Rega vakafa vavige vakafa vavo, kureva kuti kune vamwe vanhu vapenyu vanogona kutoita burial yemushakabvu but ivo pachavo they also dead. That’s another sermon on its own,. Rega ndiisirei pano but in conclusion I just want to invite someone anoziva kuti ainge akaenda kure naBaba, ainge achirarama achida kuzvifadza even in ways dzekutadzira Mwari. I invite you kuti udzoke kuna Baba, GOD is willing to accept you back.
