A father's Duty



Ephesians 6:4
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.


Exposition 

Malachi 4:6 promised that fathers and children would be reunited in heart. Let's make that true in our homes by nurturing and correcting our children — with a balance between nurture and correction. 

Let's not make our faith so full of rules and restrictions that it becomes impossible for our children to hear that they are our beloved children, with whom we are very pleased!

 Let's not grant so much freedom that our children feel neglected and uncertain. Let's turn our hearts toward them and pray for God to turn their hearts toward their home with us and their home with you!


Prayer  

O Lord God Almighty, Abba Father, our land lies under a curse because so many Fathers have spiritually and physically abandoned their children.

 Please raise up parents, especially fathers, who will balance the challenging tasks of love, nurture, and correction so that our land may be healed and our children may know your love and grace. In Jesus name. Amen.

You're Nothing without Me, says the LORD

Matthew:19.26  Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Exposition Beloved, God is God. His potency makes Him God. His independence in decisions makes Him God. His ability to known and seen everywhere is what makes Him different from  humanity. This being known, why are you still seeing impossibilities in what you do? Have you forgotten about God's existence so soon? Don't be doing the probability calculation for God. He's a mathematician on His own. Don't think for Him either, He has His own head to reason. Whatever thing you are doing, whatever you so dream about ; God is making it possible. The word said 'This' meaning there's that particular thing that seems impossible to man, but to God, It's ever possible. God is able to do, just what He says He will do. Just invite Him, He is ever ready to help. He's only waiting on your call. Prayer Father, have mer...

The God of ages, we serve

Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead — whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. Exposition Peter is making clear that his faith in Jesus didn't just begin with Jesus. It began with the Patriarchs, the great Jewish fathers. The God who blessed them also raised Jesus from the dead, even though Jesus had been executed in the most heinous and degrading way possible for a faithful Jew — he was nailed to a cross, something that was both illegal and a sign of being cursed under Jewish Law. He raised Jesus from the dead and exalted him and made him our Savior and our Lord. Praise God! Prayer   Thank you, dear Father, for showing your power over evil, sin, hate, jealousy, and death. In the name of Jesus, my Lord and Savior, I offer my praise and thanksgiving. Amen.

Just let your tongue do the work.

James:3.6  The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. Exposition Beloved, use your tongue for the betterment of your life. Imagine how you would speak without the tongue in your mouth. Let's do an exercise, roll your tongue over and try speaking. How did you sound? Funny right? That is how funny your life becomes if you don't use your tongue well. Your tongue is fire, according to God's word. And fire as we all know can cause harm and can be useful as well. Why cause harm when you can change the situation to be good? Let good words proceed out of out mouths. Let your tongue draw others to Christ. Our words describe us. Enrich your words with hope and comfort. Never use your tongue to inflict pain or death. But rather let life proceed from your mouth. Prayer Dear LORD, I bow before your throne, LORD touch my tongue and let li...
