A CHARGE TO THE EARTHLY FATHERS ON THIS YEAR’S FATHERS’ DAY.
Do you know Our Heavenly Father?
📖 "As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him." — Psalm 103:13.
For Fathers who will enjoy the compassion of our Heavenly Father, the only prerequisite to a great and rewarding fatherhood is to love and fear Him (Heavenly Father) according to the scripture above.
Our Heavenly Father is the Creator of all things. He knows us by name, understands our deepest thoughts, and loves us with an everlasting love.
His care for us is constant and unwavering. Even when we make mistakes, He remains faithful, extending grace, mercy, and forgiveness to those who seek Him.
His love is not based so much on our performance but on our connectivity because of His unchanging nature.
As earthly fathers, and all single mothers as well as widows who play the role of both parents in the lives of their children, we need to connect to our source to be able to fulfill our stewardship and earthly roles of fatherhood.
Earthly Fathers
As Earthly fathers, we have the important responsibility of reflecting God's love within our families.
A good father gives spiritual and physical guidance and guardian, provides, protects, teaches, corrects, and encourages his children. He serves as a source of strength and wisdom, helping to shape their character and future of the next generation.
Please note that He doesn’t replace his presence with presents (some fathers are not known in their children’s schools throughout their education period, but they pay school fees promptly and give gifts).
They are able to fulfilled their earthly roles and reap the reward of stewardship of fatherhood, if they are connected to their Heavenly Father.
That is why most of today’s earthly fathers “err” in their duties and calling. There is a big disconnect between them and the Fatherhood of our Heavenly Father.
Let’s take a look at the Lord’s Prayer and the pattern of the prayer to prove this further.
PATTERN OF THE LORDS’ PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name:
The prayer begins by acknowledging God as a loving Father and your knowledge of Him is the connection to acknowledging and praising His Holy character, making Him your number one priority as an earthly father.
Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven:
Have you, as an earthly father surrendered your own life, agendas, needs, even wants to God our Heavenly Father and pray for God's purposes to advance in your life, family and in the world?
Give us today our daily bread:
Having done the above, according to the pattern of the prayer.
You then present your specific, everyday spiritual, physical, material and financial needs and that of your family to your Heavenly Father Who is the source and Creator of all things, always willing to hear and answer His own children.
HE OWNS ALL THINGS AND THE HEART OF KINGS ARE IN HIS HANDS!
"For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.
If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it. Psalm 50: 10-12.
“For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof”. I Corinthian 10:26 (Kjv).
What do you need as an earthly father? look up to, and ask your Heavenly Father, He owns all things and He is able to supply.
The earth is the Lord's, everything in it. I Corinthian 10:26 (Niv).
“Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors” You can ask for forgiveness for your wrongs and commit to extending grace to others, if you are connected to the Heavenly Father, this is seamless.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: You ask for spiritual protection for you and your family from your Heavenly Father against spiritual attacks and bad decisions.
What can you really do without your Heavenly Father in this bizarre world filled with evil and security threats?
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen: Your acknowledgement and relationship with your Heavenly Father will give you the assurance of eternal life and the certainty of leading your earthly family to Heaven through your fatherly connection.
By affirming God's ultimate authority and majesty over you and your household, you are settled for life and in the life to come. Please reflect on these things and be a better father from now on.
