Father's Day

Dear Partner, family & friends,

"Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me"  - Wade Boggs

This Sunday is Father's Day! I felt to share on the importance of honouring our Dads. As you can see from the quote, anyone can be a Father, but not every Father is a Dad. Our heavenly Father is not only a Father to us, but He is also a Dad. God loves us, sending His only Son to die for us, to give us everlasting life, joy, peace and happiness. God not only wants to be a Father to you in the eternal Kingdoms to come, but He wants to be a Dad to you now.  

God wants to protect us; care for us with long life, satisfy us and reveal to us His great salvation.

Romans 8:15 says, "The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’"

We can see here that we are to call God Abba Father. Not only Father but Abba, which means Daddy.

Abba means - "Father," also used as the term of tender endearment by a beloved child - i.e. in an affectionate, dependent relationship with their father; "daddy," "papa."

You can see from this meaning that God wants to have a close personal relationship with you being your Daddy. God is also "Father", which means "One who imparts life and is committed to it; a progenitor, bringing into being to pass on the potential for likeness."

2 Corinthians 3:18 says, "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord."

God wants all of us to grow into His same image as He is. He wants us not only to be Fathers, but He wants us to be Daddys. Let us all have a goal to allow the Holy Spirit, through the Word of God, to keep on changing us so that we can grow up into Him to be like Him.  

There is a lot of fear on the earth today, but God doesn't want us to be in fear, slavery or bondage. Jesus came to set the captives free. "Whom the Son sets free, is free indeed" (John 8: 36).

I dare you to boldly declare, "Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!" Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty!  

I dare you to continue to grow and be everything God has destined and designed you to be. Let us honour our heavenly Dad and all of our Fathers at this time. Let's continue to pray for every Father and for all of their children, that we might all experience and know the love of our heavenly Father that has been provided for us in Jesus Christ.

God bless and much love,

Ps. Shaun Marler

“I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe.” Smith Wigglesworth.

If God’s Word says you are forgiven, then you are forgiven, if God’s Word says your needs are met, then your needs are met. If God’s Word says you are healed, you are healed. If you don’t let go of God’s Word, but keep it in your heart and mouth, then you can’t lose. There is no force the devil can bring against you that can overthrow the Word of God. God’s Word will make you a victor every time. So if you have been wanting good success and it has been eluding you, quit wondering if you have what it takes to succeed and remember instead, who lives in you. Then turn to the Word and put God’s success formula to work in your life. Start talking it, start thinking it, start doing it! You can believe all day long that the Bible is true- and that’s to your credit- but what the Bible says will never affect your life in a personal way until you start acting on God’s Word. Do not worry or fret that God has given more faith to others than He has to you. Rest assured in the fact that God h...

Honour your man of God

“Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.” Romans 13:7 (AMP) The word honour means: to respect, to revere, to treat with deference and submission and perform relevant duties to. Honouring your man of God is vital in the life of every born-again believer. Even as a Senior Pastor, it is a privilege for me to honour the men of God that I consider my spiritual fathers and mentors. They are life coaches to me on my spiritual journey to success, shining examples of excellence in ministry, men to whom I look for advice, prayer, guidance and leadership. The importance of a man such as this cannot be overstated. Many of us would not be saved from the wrath to come, had it not been for the assistance, support and intervention of our Pastors. We would be ignorant of the Word, were it not for a man of God anointed to teach. Thank God for men who dare to teach the “Word of God”, i...

THE LAW OF REPETITION

Image
What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe. Repetition, our school teachers know this basic law of learning. That’s why when we were at school, we learned many things in our early years by repetition. Someone once said, “You must hear something at least 16 times, before you eventually believe it”. Television commercials are repeated over and over. These are backed up by newspaper, magazine, internet and billboard advertisements. The marketers know we must continually hear and see something before we respond to it.  Romans 10:17 says “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God ”.  It simply takes time to absorb a message. Great achievers understand the necessity for their team and those following them, to hear instructions, teaching and training, again and again, before they fully grasp new concepts.  Do not expect those around you and those with whom you network, to understand everything instantly. You are a result o...
