Another point worthy of note is putting us in a family . This is where (Galatians 4:1 -2) appreciates in the divine scheme of things for Spiritual Sons and Fathers.
“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under TUTORS and GOVERNORS until the time appointed of the father."
You were put under tutors and governors until the time appointed of your father. Are you under a father? Who’s your father in the Lord? Did you think you could escape this divine order?
“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with knowledge and understanding". (Jeremiah 3:15)
Why has God given you a Father?
Malachi 2:7
"For the priest's lips should keep KNOWLEDGE, and they should seek the LAW at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts".
Fathers are the Lord’s messengers whose lips keep and dispense knowledge: the laws of the spirit are in such ancient wells (their spirit)
There’s no way out of this consanguineous system established and enforced by God for your sweatless success and safety in ministry. There’s someone after God’s own heart that He has ordained to feed you with Knowledge and understanding into all things as pertain to your fruitful walk with the Holy Ghost.
Proverbs 13:1
“A wise son heareth his father's instruction:but a scorner heareth not rebuke."
Only those who take and follow instructions from FATHERS are well advised.The well advised is wise
Proverbs 13:10
"Only by PRIDE cometh contention: but with the WELL ADVISED is wisdom."
Nobody however, is self made in the kingdom; we are all placed UNDER tutors and governors by the Holy Spirit to His own glory.
It is no doubt, however , that our generation is blessed with a pantheon of spiritual fathers from whose depths of precipicacous wells of impartation we both drink and draw (from). Why and how on earth could one possibly think of excelling and finishing strong without a coach?
Proverbs 23:10
“Remove not the OLD LANDMARKS ; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless:”
Many are quite familiar with landmarks even today , especially, as it serves as tools for directional purposes. But in the Bible, it marked a PROPERTY LINE. Those lines were sacred, and served as BOUNDARIES. God was so keen on such borders in ancient times so much that He places a curse on anyone who contravened the demarcations of such sacred points.
Deuteronomy 27:17
“Cursed be he that removeth hisneighbour's landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen”.
Those landmarks were to remain undisturbed and never to be encroached upon. It’s God who established those landmarks and when He did, they remained.
Fathers are ancient landmarks according to Proverbs 23:10. Don’t remove them from your life. It’s very dangerous.
Proverbs 22:28
"Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy FATHERS have set."
Fathers also set boundaries or landmarks recognizable by God, within which the ancient wells run. You can not drink from those wells unless you know the demarcations. Such demarcations too often, have limits and liberties.
Proverbs 15:12
"A scorner loveth not one that reproveth him: neither will he go unto the wise."
Anyone who rejects the role of a father in his life is a scorner. His soul loathes correction and direction.
Proverbs 15:10
"Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die."
The next episode gives a detailed information on the three distinct ways of identifying your spiritual father , the three roles of spiritual fathers and the three ways of tapping into their ancient wells.
