A Father To The Fatherless

Psalms 68:4-5 (NKJV)

4 Sing to God, sing praises to His name;

Extol Him who rides on the clouds,

By His name YAH,

And rejoice before Him.

5 A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,

Is God in His holy habitation.

Our Father In Heaven

The Role of a Father

Matthew 6:9 (NKJV)

9 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be Your name.

Jehovah Shammah: The Lord who is there.

Jehovah Rohi: the Lord my shepherd.

Jehovah Jireh: The Lord who provides.

Jehovah Shalom: The Lord my peace.

Jehovah Nissi: The Lord my banner.

God Is Our Role Model

The Reality of Fatherless

I Corinthians 4:15 (NKJV)

15 For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.

-According to a 2019 U.S. Census Bureau study, nearly 16 million children – about 21% – live only with single mothers, compared to 8% in 1960.

-Biggest problem in America is Father-less-ness!

-The Impact of Absent Fathers:

-Confidence

-Emotional Security

-Gender Identity

Godly Fathers To The Rescue

II Timothy 1:1-7 (NKJV)

1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,

2 To Timothy, a beloved son:

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day,

4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy,

5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

It’s time, as godly Fathers, that we become Fathers to the Fatherless!

A Revival of Fatherhood

Malachi 4:5-6 (NKJV) 

5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet

Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

6 And he will turn

The hearts of the fathers to the children,

And the hearts of the children to their fathers,

Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

Hope For America!
