Happy Father's Day - Behold Your Father!

He later became the 16^th president of the United States of America. The hard work paved the way for him and helped him succeed in the exalted position. By obeying his father, he became what he may not have become. May your obedience pave the way for your glorious actualization in the name of Jesus.

Note:

1.    Father’s have to be careful to bring children up in the way of the Lord, since children naturally take after and behave like their father’s. Hence the saying Like Father like son, like mother like daughter etc.

For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. (John 8:44)

May evil inherited traits in your life melt away by fire in the name of Jesus.

2.    Father’s take care of their family and cares for them as our heavenly Father cares for us.

But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.(ESV)

If anyone fails to provide for his own, and especially for those of his own family, he has denied the faith [by disregarding its precepts] and is worse than an unbeliever [who fulfills his obligation in these matters]. AMP (1 Timothy 5:8)

Pray:

 Father, help the fathers to provide abundantly for their families and others in Jesus’ name.

Lord, do not let father’s lack or be stressed in Jesus’ name.

Father, make a way for all our father’s in Jesus’ name.

May God always make ways for our father’s to be able to provide for their families in Jesus name.

3.    God has given the authority to bless children to the father’s

25He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, so that my soul may bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. 26Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.” 27And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said:

“Surely, the smell of my son
Is like the smell of a field
Which the Lord has blessed.
28Therefore may God give you
Of the dew of heaven,
Of the fatness of the earth,
And plenty of grain and wine.
29Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And let your mother’s sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”

34When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me—me also, O my father!”

35But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”

36And Esau said, “Is he not rightly named [e]Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”

37Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have [f]sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?”

38And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

May the blessing of your father speak good for your life and future in the name of Jesus.

4.    The blessings declared by your present father is greater than the blessings of previous generations. Jacob said in Genesis 49:26

“The blessings of your father Are greater than the blessings of my ancestors [Abraham and Isaac] Up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills; They shall be on the head of Joseph, Even on the crown of the head of him who was the distinguished one and the one who is prince among (separate from) his brothers.

May you not miss your present, uplifting and overriding blessings in Jesus name.

5.    There is blessing in submitting to the training of your father/parents

Hebrews 12:9 Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we submitted and respected them [for training us]; shall we not much more willingly submit to the Father of spirits, and live [by learning from His discipline]?

May the grace to submit to beneficial training rest upon your life in Jesus’ name.

Of the fatness of the earth,
And plenty of grain and wine.
29Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And let your mother’s sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”

And so shall it be in the name of Jesus.
