THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE FATHER


The beauty of human creation is that God created us in his own image and likeness. God is the Father. He share that nomenclature with man only through reproduction of human generation. Everyman who reproduce another man is a father. That honour is not extended to animals even though they too reproduce.

Aside the biological reproduction of man that granted preveledge of the title father, I will like to say that God doesn't share that honour with man even on spiritual matters.
On this background I will like to say there is Christ standard for Christian leadership relationship I discovered from scriptures which was once in practice when I was growing up to know Pentecostal churches and fellowship but today it's no longer applicable. Even though Catholic and Orthodox seem to be guilty of nomenclature but in practical appear they value truth about the one and only true father much more than  people who claimed to know the truth. Apologies for mentioning denomination. I am as catholic as pentecostal.

Here is the message. Do you know there are 3 titles/nomenclature that is not acceptable to use for fellow brethren(Christian) irrespective of age, status whenever we a talking about spiritual matters.
TEACHER(RABBI), FATHER AND MASTER. Yes this 3 words, run away from them if anyone call you such in spiritual gathering.
You can answer teacher as secular school teacher. But don't accept it in sunday school gathering as your official identity. Neither receive that honour because you are gifted in dividing the word of God.
Never fall into the trap of our Father in the Lord. You're never permitted by Jesus Christ to take that honour. If someone address you as biological father or our of respect because of your age. That's ok
But for your exploit of faith and display of anointing. Never take the title of Father or Master.There is only one true father whenever and wherever spiritual gathering of people will be found.

In spiritual gathering God alone is the Father and Christ alone is the Master, Holy Spirit of God is the Teacher.
Erroneously instead of addressing ourselves as Brothers and Sisters (Brethren) just as Jesus Christ laid it down in the scriptures. We elevated fellow men to the position of God simply because the gift of God in them manifest.
This has lead many anointed children of God into valley of spiritual emptiness and pride.
If Jesus Christ clearly warn us to simply  call each other brethren. Why do we set aside this important instruction just to acclaim honour to ourselves.

But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.   And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.   Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.   But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.   And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Matthew 23:8‭-‬12 KJV

Brethren, how much honour truly flow from your heart to God the Father? I can tell you how much honour and importance you attach to your father in the lord. The honor you never gave God.
Dear Anointed Pastors and Super Preachers, have you not read the above scripture before? Why not tell other members they can grow as you are in anointing and in the word of God. That you're just a brother like them. But no, you prefer to be referred to as OUR FATHER, POWERFUL TEACHER and all sort of titles robbing God of His Identity and Glory.

If you address some Christian as brother so and so, you've committed unforgivable sin to their spiritual status.
On the contrary, such anger and mindset is simply a reflection of their pride. No matter what and who you are in spiritual journey, you're simply brethren. God is the Father, Jesus is the TEACHER. All of us are vessels useful at different levels. A men with 1 or 10 talents have equal access to eternal home in heaven. Each rewarded in accordance with the assignment given him. Don't you remember that the man hired at first hour and the eleventh hour man both earn same reward by the just Master. Many who seem insignificant may be of much value to God than public figures; a pretentious Pharisees.
Do your role in the place of worship with full focus on GOD THE FATHER. You don't have any other father in the Lord. We are all brethren in the Lord.

A powerful teacher is not higher than church security. Everyone on different assignments. We are all brethren. Let the church of Christ follow his words. I doubt if any figure in heaven and on earth have right to speak contrary to Jesus's instruction.
Even if Paul, Peter or any Apostle speak contrary, that's a shallow knowledge. I haven't seen any injunction of Christ deliberately ignored by Christian leaders as Mathew 23:8-12

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephesians 4:6‭-‬7‭, ‬11‭-‬15 KJV

Apostle Paul equally confirmed God as ONE FATHER OF ALL. No more no less.
Please note: A Prophet, Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher all these are referred to as GIFT OF  CHRIST with 3 purposes of PERFECTING OF THE SAINTS, WORK OF THE MINISTRY and EDIFYING CHURCH OF CHRIST. These 3 things until we all have united faith in Christ (not faith of one man who gathered us all as father in the lord).
Until we all come to the knowledge of the Son of God (Not knowledge of how anointed or powerful our preacher, prophet, teacher has become).
Until stature of the fulness of Christ is attain. When everyone see each other as complete in Christ, as brethren. No super hero. 
All these are the purpose of the gift of Christ.

You see brethren, if we push this Christ divine purpose. We cannot be indoctrinated by men who claimed to be super Christian with more access to God. If our focus is on knowing God as our only Father, Christ as the only Master and Holy Spirit as the only Teacher. Everyone with similar purpose is simply brethren not super Christian. Anybody that teaches otherwise is simply exhorting recepient of the gift of Christ more than Christ himself. 

In natural sense biological parents or aged adults out of tribal honour and respect can be called father. But on Spiritual Christian doctrine as instructed by Jesus Christ. Call only God FATHER and not a fellow Christian. If only we follow Christ instructions from this scripture, spiritual arrogance will end and more love will flow in the fellowship of brethren.
As for me GOD IS MY FATHER and EVERY CHILDREN OF GOD LIKE MYSELF ARE MY BRETHREN.
I don't have FATHER IN THE LORD but BRETHREN IN THE LORD.
Shalom.

What is This? God's Principle of Meeting Christian Needs.

The mindset to develop as true child of God on our needs and daily provision was established in the scripture both old and new testaments. This revelation is important as many today still stay comfortably in Egypt with deception and false hope that they are fairing well on the road to Canaan. Many have enjoyed the grace established by Jesus Christ on the Cross when He said Father forgive them for they knew not what they are doing. But should children of God remained in Ignorance? Will it not lead to destruction and they too will perish with unbelieving world. Let us quickly examine one important principle of God's dealing with man in term of possession. And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.  And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron...

Church and Alcoholism.

Is Strong Wine or Beer acceptable in both old and modern Church? Text: Deuteronomy 14:22-26, 1 Samuel 1:1-19.  This is one of the controversial topic among Christian communities. The new testament Church want to know why the preachers of the Gospel discouraged the people from enjoying what God made provision for in Deuteronomy 14: 26. Let's go through this study together and see to what extent God's permission was given to difference classes of His creation to benefit, enjoyed or damage their life from all He made. It will interest you to know that there was a deliberate planting of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the centre of the first place of worship(Eden) in addition to other blessed trees. Genesis 2:16-17, 3:1-3. Questions of interest. 1. Why did God plant this? Omniscient. 2. Why put restrictions? Simply put; to prove our obedience and affirm our power of choice. 3. Why double standard, Genesis 1:29 granted permission to eat from all fruitful tr...

Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani? The cry of Sinful Saints.

Many people are under the yoke of different problems and difficult challenges emanating from finances, health, emotion, social and material needs. Prayers and supplications going up to God everyday in order to receive liberation from these evil works of the Devil. The torment when a man found himself in an unpleasant situations, forsaken, despised and rejected by men. I was deep in thought how difficult such situation may be until the revelation from God about what real suffering means hit me. There is a particular heartbroken, bone draining and devastating situation. If a child of God is found in sin, every other problems should be set aside to address it. Freedom from all other evil lies in victory won when believer ceased to be a Sinful Saint. What does it mean to be a Sinful Saint? That was the question I asked when the thought troubled my spirit until revelation from scripture ignites me with truth and reality about Saints who are living in sin. Many take sin so lightly with t...

Is restoration of the Kingdom to Isreal God's priority?

United State of America before had made several attempts and speeches about restoring Israel. Isreal on the other hand had fought several war from inception but the battle seems unending. They enjoyed support from some countries and rebukes from many. The climax happened recently when President Donald Trump in 2017 formally announced relocation of American embassy to Jerusalem with his declaration of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel. The ultimate expectation of the declaration was echoed by American Evangelical Christian Movement; as rebuilding of Jerusalem Temple in readiness for the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Restoration of Isreal Kingdom is that major to God than restoration of the kingdom of God to all nations? This same question was asked by Apostle almost immediately after resurrection of Jesus Christ before His ascension. The answer He gave reflect a better prophecy to any Christian body and the true mind of God for humanity. When men are eager to use authority...

Divine approach to forgiveness of deep hurt before sunset.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:  Neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:26‭-‬27 KJV There was a discussion in the congregation of saints recently about the possibility of God's demand in the above scripture. The pressing question is how can error, sin or hurts too deep; be forgiven before sunset?  How possible if the event occurred in the evening of the day?  Many more queries and questions some of which the logical answers tend to buttress the impossibility of God's demand. But one thing is certain, the word of the Lord remains the only truth and source of life for a child of God. Attempt to fault or inability to obey any of God's instruction is pure manifestation of the flesh. Thus there is just one simple question children of God should ask; what is the divine approach to forgiveness of deep hurt before sunset. Answer to this question will be based on the premise that we are Christian "Like Father like son" in other...
