E198: Day 2 The Servants Knew from the Prodigal son | Greatest Gift

DAY 2 — MAY 9The Servants KnewIn the story of the prodigal son, something happens when the father runs to meet his lost boy that most readers move right past. The father calls out: bring the ring, the robe, the fatted calf. And someone has to know where all of those things are kept.Not the son who just came home — he's been gone. Not the older brother sulking in the field. The servants. The ones who stayed close. The ones who knew the house.This is Chapter 1 of Pastor Jose Boveda's teaching: the Three Purposes of Ministry. And before you skip this because you're not in ministry — these three purposes are not for people with titles. They're for anyone who wants to walk in the full will of God. They're for anyone who wants to be close enough to know where the ring is kept.Purpose One: Experience God. Not know about Him — experience Him in supernatural encounter. Purpose Two: Be Taught by God. Not just read the Word — let God become your personal teacher in the quiet moments. Purpose Three: Give Back to God. Let what comes into you flow back out. You're not a reservoir. You're a river.The Greek word doulos — bond-servant — describes someone who belongs completely and therefore has access to everything the master possesses.
