In the above text you can see the intervention of a father in the life of Benjamin when his dying mother was setting a wrong course for him, many generations would have been affected if not for the father figure in his life. The kingdom of God is a FATHER and SON flow. In the world fatherlessness can be by force, but never in the kingdom. In the kingdom you can only be fatherless by choice or by ignorance! You need someone who knows you in your destiny; someone who calls you after your destiny. Don’t make yourself a father when you should be fathered. Don’t react against the caution of a father. Don’t neglect or overlook the silences of a father; the prodigal son failed here.
Don’t incur the wrath or anger of a father. This is the problem of the prodigal son: he rejected the ministry of a father! Great people in the Bible that fulfilled their destiny are not without a father, consider the following for examples:
Timothy had a father in Paul.
Solomon had a father in David.
Elisha had a father in Elijah!
Do you have a father?
The following are some of the things a father will do for you:
1. BEGET: Initiates the process, either a foolish son or a wise son, every father is begetting someone. As a father, do those you are raising look like you or like Christ? Be sure you will give an account of how you are raising them.
2. IDENTIFY: The hidden destiny in your children. Samson, Elijah, David-Solomon. It takes a father to see a hidden destiny.
3. NAME: Name a child after his destiny and not emotions. An example is Benjamin versus Benoni (Gen. 35:18). A name supplies identity.The following also will have great impact on your journey so pay special attention to them.
• The words of a father
• The embrace of a father
• The anger/pain of a father
Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to every area I am not cooperating with the father you have placed in my life in Jesus’ name.
