FATHERHOOD (July 21, 2024)
FOUNDATION TEXT: Genesis 2:8
SCRIPTURE REF. Matthew 6:9, Genesis 1:26-27, Proverbs 13:22, and Genesis 9:22
📌As a father, although your presents to your children is necessary, your presence is paramount.
📌As we lift our hands always and pray, we need to understand that there’s a necessity for some kind of intimacy.
📌A Father leaving an inheritance for his children is not about material things but leaving a name and image.
📌 Image is your only legacy/inheritance.
How to create an image with offspring
- Create an image through conversation, and demonstrate and practically show that image.
- Fatherhood cannot be compensated with houses or material possessions.
- Fatherhood must be built on relationships. (As God always went to the Garden of Eden to converse with Adam)
- If there’s a father to plant a seed and there’s no water to water and nourish the seed, there’s always a trail of blood.
As a father, you must always be the:
- Source.
- Nourish.
- Maintain (by relationship).
❓Can an imperfect and dysfunctional Father go back to the Good Fatherhood pattern God established?
