Find below some nuggets before downloading… The male gender is the scripturally authorized entity appointed by God to be the Father. Fatherhood as a principle, goes beyond being a male. Fatherhood is most clearly seen in the family structure, but it is a principle that goes beyond the family institution. Being a father goes beyond a personality; it is an idea (virtue) that is embodied in a personality. The word “Father” comes from the Hebrew-Aramaic word “Abba”. The word “Abba” does not merely mean “Daddy”. “Abba” means source, foundation, or sustainer. The Greek word for “Father” is “Pater” (pronounced pah-TEER), and it means protector and nourisher.
Together, “Father” means source, foundation, sustainer, protector, and nourisher. Fatherhood is, first and foremost, a creation principle and a leadership quality, evident across all of life; in plants, animals, and humans. It is about initiating, maintaining, and replicating or perpetuating processes beyond oneself. Jesus Christ clearly teaches us about Fatherhood in Matthew 6:9 and Matthew 7:8-11, presenting God as the perfect Father and the ultimate model of leadership. The highest demonstration and expression of leadership is fatherhood; the ability to initiate, nourish, sustain, and replicate a process that outlives you. The highest demonstration of leadership is fatherhood; the ability to initiate or begin, birth, nourish, and replicate structures that sustain any process to outlive you. With respect to family life, a father is a male who has accepted the role and responsibility of starting a family, providing, protecting, and building the children from that family until they attain maturity. A Father is a male who has accepted the role and responsibility of starting a family, providing for its needs, protecting its well-being, and raising the children that come from that family until they attain maturity. The word “Father” is classically used in relation to family, to mean the biological fathers of children, but it clearly goes beyond that. We have biological, legal, adopted, and eldership fatherhood. The journey of fatherhood in God begins with the man, extends to his seed, and ultimately to his generations. When God seeks to transform a generation, He starts with a man. Conversely, when Satan seeks to corrupt a generation, he works in reverse, targeting the man, corrupting the seed, and ultimately influencing the generation. Man to Seed to Generation. Satan reverses the order, causing corruption. The Earth, as we know, started from one man and one woman. Today, the world’s population has grown to over 8 billion people and continues to increase. Fatherhood can be seen as one of the scriptural assignments of the man with respect to family life. It can also be seen as a leadership principle that can be practiced by all men (both genders).
