I feel as though my job today is to be a part of the Heavenly Father's supply chain, to equip Father's who will in turn equip their children, to prepare for the future.
God's warehouse is full of all that we need to be fully furnished. To do this it would be important to start with equipping the mind.
Paul has this to say to the Philippians:
IN OTHER WORDS YOUR MIND, IS DESIGNED TO BE OCCUPIED WITH WHOLESOME THOUGHTS. LET ME ILLUSTRATE WHAT THE WORD OF GOD SAYS ABOUT THIS. OUR THOUGHTS OR DESIGNED TO CELEBRATE OUR REDEEMED INNOCENCE AND OUR RENEWED IDENTITY IN HIM. WE HAVE TO LET THIS HAPPEN, IT IS NOT JUST AN ACCIDENT THAT IT TAKES PLACE. WE HAVE TO LET THIS MIND BE IN US THAT WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS. TO MANY PEOPLE LIVE IN A TIT FOR TAT MINDSET THAT IS OBVIOUS IN RELIGION AND POLITICS TODAY:
READ 2ND CORINTHIANS 10:3-6
God has the ability to disengage our mindsets and perceptions that have held people captive in pseudo fortresses forever.
Obedience to Christ dwarfs the disobedience to the Adamic nature into insignificance.
We are fine tuned to the voice of our original love language that Adam and Eve were aware of in the garden of Eden. The authentic language of the Father to his creation.
Father's should understand that this is part of what is a Divine calling on us. No bigger mission is before our father's who by example and truth, lead their children on the path in life that leads to peace. I have never felt as a father, that I should teach my children should be loved on the basis of performance, especially in light of the fact that GayNell has never known anything in her life but ministry.
It is so easy to fall into that mindset, when the truth is, our Heavenly Father does not love us on the basis of our performance. It is important to always remember that we are enlightened, and if we have any hidden agenda's, darkness will triumph over truth. We need to teach our children that it is a beaming radiant light that dispels every trace of darkness. When Jesus had a meal with the Pharisee, he was offended that Jesus did not wash before the meal.
What Jesus saw was his host was more concerned about washing the outside of cup or dish than he was the inside of the cups. Teaching him he was full of violent greed, painful and wearisome religious rules and obligations.
It is our privilege to teach our children that loving God is more important than loving the chief seat in the synagogue. He went to great links not to insult the host but to teach him how to keep the real thing, the real thing and not just to decorate their own lives like the forefathers who decorated the tombs of the prophets the killed.
Father's have a responsibility to their off spring:
THE MANDATE TO FATHERS IS TO INSTILL STRONG VALUES AND TEACHINGS IN THEIR CHILDREN AS FOUND IN THE PRINCIPLES OF DEUTERONOMY:
I PRAY ALL OUR DADS HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND KEEP THE FAITH IN SUCH AWAY THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN SEE.
FATHER'S DAY BLESSING TO EACH OF YOU,
Pastor Cleddie

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Philippians 3:15
Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

THE MANDATE TO FATHERS IS TO INSTILL STRONG VALUES AND TEACHINGS IN THEIR CHILDREN AS FOUND IN THE PRINCIPLES OF DEUTERONOMY:
- Teach the importance of loving God with all your heart and soul.
- Emphasize the significance of obeying God's commandments.
- Share stories of faith and obedience from the Israelites' journey.
- Encourage regular prayer and reflection on God's word.
- Model integrity and righteousness in daily life.
- Discuss the importance of community and helping others in need.
I PRAY ALL OUR DADS HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND KEEP THE FAITH IN SUCH AWAY THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN SEE.
FATHER'S DAY BLESSING TO EACH OF YOU,
