EVERLASTING FATHER – Thursday August 17 2017
Memorise: I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was,
and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8
Read: Isaiah 9:6-7 (KJV)
9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and
the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of
Peace.
9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall
be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to
establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The
zeal of the Lord of
hosts will perform this.

MESSAGE:
A
father is the male personality among the two parents from whom children
originate. Parents are uniquely linked to their children by blood, and they are
the source of the fundamental and distinctive characteristics of their
children. This special connection is responsible for the usual display of
filial affection between parents and their children. There is a kind of deep
love, compassion, dedication, trust, respect, devotion and loyalty that usually
exists in the relationship between parents and their children that may not
exist in other forms of relationships. Furthermore, good fathers are known to
provide leadership, protection, provision, discipline, spiritual guidance, and
emotional stability for members of their family. Obviously, mothers are equally
important and their role as parents and leaders in the family cannot be
overemphasised. However, under normal circumstances, the balance of a family is
usually maintained by its organisation around a father-figure. This is why
homes without a father tend to become dysfunctional families. I therefore pray
that God will restore all broken homes, support all single parents, and rebuke
death in our families in the Name of Jesus.
Action Point
Pray that the Everlasting
Father will heal every broken home and dysfunction in your family and local
church.
