OBEDIENCE || FATHERHOOD

✨ Happy NewMonth ✨Being the fathers day month,we must learn a thing about the Father.But for our understanding of His person let's begin here 👇👇This looks like an intentional sequence Ephesians 6:1-3🤎Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.🤎“Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise:🤎that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.As a parent , I have absolutes in my house . Things that are are not subject to discussion with my son , I am slowly learning why God makes it that way . Because obedience forms a child . However ,am sure by the time he turns 20 or 30 he will have grown enough to decided whether to do what am saying or not . Children ought to obey because they are children , inexperienced and without much knowledge so it's expected of them to follow the instructions of a parent .Obedience is better than sacrifice yes and in obeying something is quietly being built, foundationally.Obedience is basically following instructions to the letter and this teaches us to develop an attentive ear,to incline to God's saying.Before they follow a shepherd ,sheep always hear his voice As a child , obedience is the foundation upon which honour is built .Where there's obedience,honour will thrive with ease .Honour has a lot to do with maturity. A transition from milk to meat.. if you skip milk , meat will choke you😀😀Honour means you have grown in Sonship so much to understand and also choose to do what's expected of you.Not because you were told but because you know ,you know what to do and you do it circumstances notwithstanding.Also, noticed how honour ties up a promise of your well being to itself? Why? Well,because as long as you remain a child there are responsibilities that won't be given and lack of responsibilities means there are places you wont go. Even God sent a Son and He was sure, through Him His pleasure will prosper . IT PLEASES YOUR FATHER to give you the kingdom.Dont be the heir who remains a child .Let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. 

(Heb 6:1)Obedience forms the child. Honour reveals the son. Sonship positions us for inheritance, inheritance guarantees our well being and longevity if our life#GoodFathe
