Thank you Jesus

This calls for deep thought, after taking out time to imagine again and again the sacrifice of Jesus and the things he faced to pay the price to rescue man's soul from darkness,

Have you been bruised before? Has someone intentionally spit on your face before without saying sorry? I just mentioned a few of how ungrateful human can be. I can not hold back my gratitude to him.
Thank you Jesus.

Fathers have heavy responsibilities and here are just few outline of the things a father should be.

1. A Father Is a Teacher of God’s Ways
Fathers are commanded to teach their children the Word of God diligently.
Deuteronomy 6:6–7 – “And these words, thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children…”
Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way he should go…”
A father provides spiritual direction and foundation.

2. A Father Provides Leadership and Guidance
A father is the head of the family and gives godly direction.
Ephesians 6:4 – Fathers are instructed to bring children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Joshua 24:15
A father sets the spiritual atmosphere of the home.

3. A Father Is a Provider
Provision is a biblical responsibility of a father.
1 Timothy 5:8 – If any provide not for his own… he has denied the faith.
A father ensures the physical and material needs of the family are met.

4. A Father Represents Discipline and Correction
Correction is a sign of love, not hatred.
Hebrews 12:7 – God deals with you as sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
A father shapes character through loving discipline.

5. A Father Is a Covering and Protector
Fathers provide emotional, spiritual, and physical covering.
Psalm 103:13 – “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.”
A father reflects God's compassion and protection.

6. A Father Leaves a Legacy and Blessing
A father passes down inheritance and spiritual blessings.
Proverbs 13:22 – A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children.
A father’s words and actions affect generations.

7. A Father Reflects the Image of God
Earthly fathers reflect the Fatherhood of God.
Matthew 6:9 – “Our Father which art in heaven
James 1:17 – The Father of lights
Fatherhood is a divine institution established by God.

If you father is this, always appreciate him.

Happy New month all.
