Connecting heavenwards



This is the continual letter from me to my spiritual children on fathering.

Have you been praying
for your spiritual children? I have been in my time in Shenyang. God revealed great things about many of you as I prayed. I will share with you another time another platform.

I trust that you all have a blessed week. I want to continue to share about fathering. Beyond praying for your 12, which is a tall calling and needy for this hour, you need also to ask what kind of children you want to produce.

Scripture reminds us in Luke 6:40 - "A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher." Our children will reflect us. The question is would God be blessed by our reflection? The answer is therefore to bless God with our lives FIRST! I will like to challenge all of us to set HIGH standards;

HOLY – holy lives as lives set apart for godly use
INNOVATIVE – we need to be creative as we serve a creative God. Creative mind helps to tap into the innate Godly nature within us
GOOD – good is a outcome of God. We need to do everything well. God’s work is perfect HEAVENWARD – we need to go beyond the now and here to heaven and God, His kingdom. We are heavenly minded of great earthly use.

When we are holy, innovative and good, and direct all our action heavenward, we extend His kingdom in our lives and others. In another words, grow yourself before we can help our children to grow.

Set a HIGH standard today!
