Father’s Day Special

June 21st 2009 is the Father’s Day. I thank the Father’s for your sacrifice in loving and providing for the family. Father’s your sacrifices today may be weary, God will bless your toil and when you see the fruits you will be pleased. God Bless You.

Remembering my Father:

I thank my dear father Daniel a wonderful loving, caring, hard working, God fearing, who set an example for me to live a life of purpose. I remember his life with great Joy.

* The day he disciplined me when I was wrong, never hesitated to take rods.

* He always made sure where we come from, explaining his very humble beginnings with great thankfulness for God and the people who helped him.

* When he took me, my brother and my sister to our Village Eriodu in a southern corner of India by his new scooter. It was awesome bumpy ride trip.

* My father and my mother will pray early in the morning from 5:30 AM for our family, friends, neighbours, church and nation. They did not teach me to do it, I saw their example, They did it until my mother left this world for more than 20 years. My father he still continues to pray, He is a Man of Prayer.

* When he took me to his friends house to borrow money for my education with great humility, Had a great heart that somehow his children will excel than him.

* He always stood with my mother in all their decisions, they made sure that it is always their decision as parents not a lonely decision.

* My father loved, respected and honored my Mother in such a way, that I want to follow in my life with God’s Grace.

* Taught to Love God in difficult and in all circumstances.

Thank you daddy, you are great. I Love you.

Father is a Gardener

Genesis 2:15 – The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

Children are like Arrow

Psalm 127:3-5 – Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

Father leading the Way

1 Corinthians 11:1 – Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

 Some Scriptures about the Fathers:

Colossians 3:21  Fathers, do not aggravate your children, or they will become discouraged.

Proverbs 23:13-14 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.

Proverbs 3:11-12 – My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.

Proverbs 23:24 – “The father of a righteous man has great joy; he who has a wise son delights in him.”-

Ephesians 6:4 – Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.

Ephesians 6:2 – “Honor your father and mother.” This is the first commandment with a promise:
