For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just Genesis 18:19
Just as God has chosen Abraham to be the Father of many nations, God has chosen us to be the Father of our Children also. This is not something we should take for granted our lightly. It’s honor God has chosen me to be a Father of two amazing boys, it’s a responsibility I take to heart.
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Its our responsibility as Fathers and Men of God to teach our Children about God and his Word. We live in a world where God has been removed from public, schools, offices, ect. If we don’t teach our Children about God , nobody else is going to. Lay the foundation for a successful life for them.
Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Psalms 127:3
The world likes to portray Fatherhood as a death trap, but the truth is to be a Father is a blessing from God. For Abraham waited almost 100 years to have his promised son Isaac, any man who has a child has received favor from God. Don’t squander your blessing, be the Godhead of your family as you were chosen to be.
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
As a Father its our responsibility not only to teach our children about God, but teach them right from wrong. Teach them how to walk with integrity, teach them responsibility, teach them love and compassion. When you instill morals and values into your Children they will not depart from it.
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. Joshua 24:15
The world may have removed God but we as Fathers control our house. Make sure your house is serving God, make sure your Children are growing up knowing God and learning morals and values. Teach your Children how to pray and be thankful for all they have received.
As a Father I feel God has blessed me more than I could have ever imagined, I hope all you Fathers feel the same way and Thank God for your blessings in Jesus Name Amen
What a nice picture!

Forgot it was Fathers Day! Excellent post, bro. Gorgeous guys! I know someone who makes it a habit to read the Scriptures with his family every day after mealtime – still sitting round the table. It’s times like those that will reap the benefits in the future and will be remembered by the children, long after they’ve left home. As you say, it’s our responsibility and no-one is going to do it for us. Be blessed – Reuben
