What if Father was right?

I have never been afraid of writing an article; this time I am - perhaps as a result of terms and their collective realities, their depth and their vulnerabilities - What if Father was right?

?

This may sound familiar; ‘my Father once said’. For everyone who shares the heart response to the harmony of those words, you must indeed be reminded that soon you would be a Father and/or perhaps your children may learn of their usage soon.

?

What makes Father right always, didn’t Father say - Listen to your Mother, you know she’s always right, as the joy of Motherhood, marries being a wife; the acknowledgement of her voice, support to her quest and affirmation of her resolve while celebrating every leap of her abundance, yet again, Father was right. I do think wisdom comes with age, transferred knowledge from the?aged and the fear of being caged, given the responsibility assigned by GOD to him, him includes you, each and every man.

Nurture, nature, serve, protect, provide and learn - Father.

Welcome to the re-education of your role dear Fathers, and aspiring as I gratefully belong to. A fear or a delight to the responsibilities ahead, both a feeling and a gift I sense, responsibilities from the conviction to service and learning - the actual definition of mentorship from the Father of Fathers after the benevolence of HIS grace to a vital instruction - ‘Dear Men, it will delight me to observe that you love your wives as my SON, JESUS the Anointed loves the Church, not a Church; as you must have read my thought on the characters of Churches’.

The character of Churches, loving her as Christ loves the Church (this one deep o ..). The responsibilities before fatherhood just births crystal clarity to the instruction of not defiling the bed before marriage; apt, been in bed with the wrong wife could make any man age; a mirage unfolded by age, a marred rage age. Apparently, the wife of your youth, the produce from your groans, the strength of your old age and the honour to GOD’S name makes a good man leave gracious inheritance for his children and children’s children.

?

That responsibility is neither for children, for young men, for old men, but for HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRED AND MENTORED MEN. This is deep. Is this the wisdom of the grey? Vital component that making Father always right

?

The psalms of David, the Spoken words of JESUS, the melody to John’s passionate affections as reflected from JESUS and the calmness of healing as bestowed on the character of Peter - all of these humbling experiences simplify the complexity of manhood; the title, the expectations, the fleshy bondage leaving out the authenticity of his purpose; ‘Adam teach your wife - my fellowship in the cool of the day birthed communion in stages. Adam, she could be a queen and more if you fail in teaching her what I had earlier taught you before her appearance; the where have you been all of my life moment shouldn’t replace the how can I teach you all that I have learnt from the Source of My Life without placing a burden of knowledge on you?’

?

I am excited about the simplicity of this process; phases and phases, as we learnt in parts until we become complete in resemblance to HIM. Therefore, Father must have learnt this earlier before he and Mother became custodians of us.
