Sunday, August 14, 2011, is a day I
will never forget. My earthly father
transitioned from this life leaving a gaping whole in my soul. Unfortunately, twenty-nine years prior, three of my siblings and I lost
our biological mother, and here we are venturing down
the road of grief again. However, this
time we (with two additional siblings) had a twist of reality…being
orphans – fatherless.
During
the weeks following his memorial service, the pain from my natural experience
became a burden on my heart for all who were
fatherless, just like me. This
situational awareness illuminated my spiritual eyes in a way they had never
been enlightened before. There were more
like me than I initially considered.
Yes, many have a sense of abandonment by their fathers caused by natural
deaths. However, there are many more that
have been abandoned by their fathers due to sheer neglect.
Unfortunately,
many males have conveniently become mere sperm donators, dropping their seed
wherever they wish without even turning back to see the harvest they have left
behind. They pompously talk about how many children they have without
understanding the magnitude of the responsibility that lies at their door to
take care – nurture, provide, protect, guide, and love – each and every one of
them. At times, I’ve even heard that if
they can’t have the “Mommas”, in revenge, they dismiss and disregard the child(ren).
Take the opportunity to do an investigative
inventory. You will discover that the
primary source of societal current ills can be traced back to a male. Additionally, the dysfunction of many marital
unions or most often, the lack thereof, has left innocent children vulnerable
to the malevolent vices of society.
Basically, the mother and children are open prey to the demonic forces
of hell when males stalled in their development into manhood, underestimate the
importance and relevance of their spiritual positions as fathers, or become missing-in-action
altogether. Lately, my heart has ached
for these children – from infants to grown adults – like never before. The reports of mothers killing their own
children have especially caused me to weep.
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Yes,
I do realize there are many males who are attempting to be fathers when in
actuality there has been a lack of proper role models for them to follow. However, in light of today’s advance
technology and massive information which is readily available and accessible,
there is no excuse for remaining ignorant.
Therefore, if the current state of your children represents one of the
ones I’ve carried on my heart for the past few months, I say, “Man
Up”! It’s time to get in a posture
to receive, becoming a teachable vessel that can embrace, contain, and absorb
information for revelatory application in your life. Your children did not ask to be earthed, and
yet they are depending on you to fulfill your role with effectiveness. You are the footprint that they desire to
walk in. They are counting on you. As a society, we are counting on you. And most importantly, God and the Heavenly
Host are counting on you as well!
