Greeting Fathers, Children of the Fathers, and Families:   I pray that you all have a beautiful time with your family as the Father's Day is approaching.  Honor your earthly father and your heavenly Father and you shall be blessed!  I pray that God would grant you understanding of who He (our heavenly Father) is and how He desires to bless the fathers, their children, and their families all over the earth.   May God richly bless you!  Happy Father's Day!

From Our God the Father, the Godhead ("I AM" & Jehovah) and His Begotten Son, Jesus Christ: 

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."  John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."  Matthew 3:17 "And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”  2 Peter 1:17 "For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory..."  In John 10:30, Jesus says, "I and My Father are one."  1 John 5:6-8 "This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.  And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood (Jesus); and these three agree as one." 

To the Fathers and or the Husbands:

Today, you need to be like Jesus, the follower of Jesus, to be a real good father, and a good husband, and or a good leader.  

Ephesians 5:22-28: "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.  For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.  Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself."   The husband and the wife in unity with Christ will create a happy family with the respect of their children and others.

Ephesians 6:4: "And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord."

Proverbs 23:24: "The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, and he who begets a wise child will delight in him."

God promised to bless your generations from the fathers to the children and to the grandchildren and more if you love and obey God: 

Deuteronomy 5:9 "For I, the Lord your God...but showing mercy to thousands (many generations), to those who love Me and keep My commandments."

Jeremiah 32:18 "You show lovingkindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them—  the Great, the Mighty God, whose name is the Lord of hosts." 

Proverbs 19: 14 "Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord." 

Proverbs 17:6 "Children’s children are the crown of old men, And the glory of children is their father."

Jeremiah 25: 4-6 "And the Lord has sent to you all His servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, but you have not listened nor inclined your ear to hear. They said, ‘Repent now everyone of his evil way and his evil doings, and dwell in the land that the Lord has given to you and your fathers forever and ever. Do not go after other gods to serve them and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands; and I will not harm you.’ "

Isaiah 51:1,2  "You who seek the Lord:...Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; For I called him alone, and blessed him and increased him.”  The blessing came to Abraham, the father of faith, then to us from our Lord.

To the Sons & Daughters (Children) of the Fathers:

Proverbs 13:1,15:20:  "A wise son heeds his father’s instruction, but a scoffer does not listen to rebuke...A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish man despises his mother."

Deuteronomy 5:16, Mark 7:10, Ephesians 6:1: "Honor your father and your mother as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be long, and that it may be well with you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you...‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death'...Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right."

For believers, if you don't have a father on earth for whatever reason, you do have the Father in Heaven who loves you and cares about you. 2 Corinthians 6:16-18 "For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:  “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.”   Therefore “Come out from among them (unbelievers) and be separate, says the Lord.  Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.”  “I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” " 

God wants to bring peace and unity in the Fathers and His Children:   Malachi 4:5,6 "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet.  Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.  And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers..."

May God be your joy and peace and the center of your family!  I pray in Jesus' name.
