There are so much differenecs between each and every one of us as much as there are similarities, but one thing that stands out is the fact that there's no one on the face of the earth who wasn't born of the sperm of a man. This means at one point in time, we all had a father.
Who then is a father ?
A father is:
A (generally human) male who begets a child.
A person who plays the role of a father in some way.
From the above definitions, we can see that being a father doesn't stop by been responsible for the birth of a child, it also entails being responsible for that child till he attains the age of accountability.
Also, we have different kinds of fathers, these includes
- Biological Fathers
- Adopted Fathers
- Step Fathers
- Mentors
- Spiritual Fathers
Of all these, the most important is the Spiritual Fathers. A Spiritual Father is one who is responsible for your spiritual growth. He watches out for your soul. Any man who seeks to make any spiritual advancement must have a spiritual Father.
Biblically, the words of our biological Father and our Spiritual Father can be effective in our lives depending on the situation. This can seen in the life of Jacob when Isaac proclaimed untold blessing on him. Even though Jacob ran away from home with nothing due to the fear of his brother Esau, he was still able to become so great as proclaimed by his Father Isaac. This is how powerful A Father's word on his son can be.
No wonder the bible admonishes in
Exodus 20:12 to
KJV:Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Fathers are important personalities in our lives, that is why it is expedient to celebrate them. Therefore, i join every to say Happy Fathers day to all Fathers in the world. You deserves some accolades.
