FATHER

Text: Proverbs  17:6.

Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.

One major problem in the home, society, community, nations and in our world today is the  absence of  Father. Though there are fathers, but there are few correct or ideal Fathers as intended by God. 

The world we live has wrongly defined fatherhood for us. It has erroneously raised a wrong standard of what and who a father is. 

As we prepare to celebrate Fathers' day tomorrow, the Lord would have us lay out his foundational plans and standard for a father. 

A father is one who generates, produces or originates biologically, spiritually or intellectually. He is more than one who gives birth to another biologically. In fact, to be a biological father is about the first and lowest level of fatherhood. *Until you are able to lead your children to God, you are not yet a real father as far as God is concerned.* 

Abram was called 'Exalted father' before he even had a child. His name was changed to Father of multitude or Father of many Nations even when he had only one child.

It is therefore clear that God's ideal Father is one who can generate another life biologically or spiritually for the purpose of raising such offspring for Him. 

For instance, there are many children in our world today who will never be able to identify a biological father. Many women now resolve to sperm bank in order to purchase human semen for the purpose of artificial insemination. So, you can imagine that there are many children in our world today without a known father.

Meanwhile, another couple may decide to adopt an orphan and raise such under a home. On the other hand, there are many young men impregnating young ladies out there who are not willing to take responsibility of  fatherhood.

When God is talking about Father, He really meant  business.
In the beginning God created the first human Father -Adam. It is good to note that every man is a potential father. 

Adam, having not had a child yet, threw all his children unborn into bondage of sin. Thanks be unto Jesus our Lord, He has brought us back to the Father of glory. (1 Peter 1:3).

If you have been given the opportunity to bring another life into this world, you must carefully follow God through Jesus Christ before you can be able to do Fatherhood well.

 *It takes a father who is under Father God to Father a child in God's own way.*  

 *Bible Reading:* 

 Psalms 128:1-4.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
