WHAT IS A FATHER

Proverbs 23:22 Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old. ... Proverbs 23:24 The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him. Proverbs 20:7 The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.

A father’s role in the family is a pivotal one.  He is called upon to be a leader and protector for the family, and to give an example of Christ like character and love by being loving towards his wife and children. FATHER'S are also to be strong in the faith, and to bring their children up knowing God and right from wrong.

Lord, help our Father's be the overseer and be above reproach, help them be faithful to their wives. Father, teach them how to be temperate with their families, maintain self-controlled, always respectable to others, and show hospitable to those around him. Lord, help our father's teach and train their children in the way to go, so they do not stray for from You. Lord, let them not give in to drunkenness and violence, but be gentle and not quarrelsome. Father, let them not be a lover of money, but be a lover of the things of the Spirit.  Lord, help our FATHER'S manage their families and help his children obey him, in a manner worthy of full respect. in Jesus name Amen
