HONOURING A FATHER (Remain faithful)

#SamKorankyeAnkrah

“My father, see! the corner of your robe in my hand! For I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, know and see that there is neither evil nor rebellion in my hand, I have not sinned against you. Yet you hunt my life to take it.”
I Samuel 24:11 NKJV

David remained faithful and submitted to the authority of Saul, who was not only a king but a father to him. Despite Saul's jealousy and attempts to harm David, David still honoured him as God's anointed.

Although David had a justifiable reason to defend himself against Saul, killing him would have meant touching God’s anointed. This would have brought David under judgment.

Fathers are humans and may sometimes hurt us with their actions. Regardless of these disagreements, acknowledge their anointing as fathers.

God ordains a father and holds the authority to punish him. Despite any personal grievances, refrain from dishonouring fathers. Give honour to whom honour is due and invite blessings into your life.

I pray that God gives you the heart of understanding and love to respect the fathers in your life so that you will also be honoured by Him in Jesus’ Name!
Stay blessed!
