FATHERHOOD‬

#‎FATHERHOOD‬

This will be the last in this Series in honour of Father's Day. And here we'll try and know the view of God of a Father.

"A Man ought not to cover his own head," is deeper than the one of wearing or not wearing a cap. It speaks of the unveiling of the glory which every man is born to bear on earth FOR God.

A rebel cannot bear the delegated authority of God on earth as the head of the family - many young men &married men are Rebels! How are they rebels? A rebel is someone who refuse to obey or carry out the order or instruction of his superior. A man becomes a rebel when he refuse delibrately to carry out God's instructions, laws and commandments. So how can then exercise His delegated authority in their lives? FATHERS, every time you sin, and disobey God you short-change your divinely delegated authority to be HEAD of the Family!

The Glory of your wife is only but a reflection of what you are in essence. A personal discovery of God's perspective of who you are born to be is the foundational to your correct functioning in life. For a woman, there is a cover that God talks about. It is not that of shame but that of SUBMISSION (A topic of discussion some other time). But when you see a man covering his head, it is a cover of shame... A Rebel!

=> Every Married man has the mandate of representing the Lord Jesus to his wife accurately as possible, in ‪#‎Love‬, in Selfless-Sacrifice, in Sanctification, in washing and Cleansing of the wife till she is presentable without any Spot or Wrinkle.

=> A father is the one by the virtue of his position in the family or in the community who is a nourisher, a protector and an upholder.

=> A father is the one ordained to name the Children and to bless them - setting the Identity, the Direction and the Destiny of the children.

OBLIGATIONS OF A FATHER

* Father is a burden bearer... He bears the burden of himself, his wife, children, family, church, and country in prayer before God.

* Father shows compassion and Empathy. Not one with 'I don't care' attitude.

* Father corrects and Disciplines. This is a holy obligation of a Loving father... Love must disciplines or else the children will become a half-baked cake... Unturned.

* Father Instructs too. Instruction is the act of teaching or informing the understanding of a person in that which he was before ignorant.

* Father Commands. This is not when one want to be indignant or irresponsible. In following through instructions and discipline.

* Father Exhort, Comforts and Charge. This is the priestly duties of every father in the family.

This is just to help us all to be better in our responsibilities to God and our Family thereby making the World better than how we met it!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!
