Dear Church,

Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

This week is very special because it is a time for us to honor and appreciate all our fathers. Fathers are very important in our lives because they provide for us, not just material needs but also spiritual direction. They need to work hard in the marketplace to earn money and build us up spiritually at the same time. Their responsibility is heavy. Spiritual leadership at home is a 24/7 deal. He cannot take a break and have a vacation from being our father. It is a big, heavy commitment. As a result of such demands on them, they sometimes find it hard to balance between the two. Very often people misunderstand them, thinking that they are neglecting the family. But the contrary is true. No fathers set out to just earn money and ignore their family. All of them want to do both well. It is the fine line of trying to juggle between work and family that is stressing them out.

So City Harvest, today, I want to teach you and challenge you to look at your dad differently. Learn to listen to what they are going through. Show them more love and understanding. Be interested in what they are doing. Genuinely want to know how they are doing. Fervently pray for them. I believe if we change our attitude toward them, we will soon see the changes in them. Our fathers are very precious to us. They are humans too. So, do not for a split second think that they do not need our love and our attention. Be brave now… go and do something different for them. Show them that you care and that you mean it! If you do all these that I am telling you, I honestly believe your relationship with your dad will never ever be the same again!

Happy Father’s Day once again and make it a memorable one for him…

See you next week,

KEV
