CLERIC ADIVICES FATHERS TO LIVE RESPONSIBLY
Source: Punch Newspaper
Pastor Fred Odekhian of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Court
of His Majesty, on Sunday, advised fathers to live responsibly and shun
divorce in order to raise morally upright children.
Odekhian gave the advice during the commemoration of Fathers’ Day with the theme: “Understanding Manhood: Fatherhood’’, at Abesan Estate, Ipaja, Lagos State.
He said the increase in social vices among youths was as a result of fathers’ absence in training the children right from infancy.
“The father and mother should stay together to raise the children. Try to understand your differences and live happily together.
In his address, he said the home should be a place to celebrate and not a place to be beating your wife and oppressing her.
“Align yourself with the word of God. Build your spiritual stamina by reading books from anointed men of God so as to gain wisdom.
“Real fathers are constructive in approaching issues of life, not selfish.
“Pursue integrity, holiness, righteousness, spirituality, be a critical thinker and don’t be ruled by your emotions.
“True fathers accept responsibilities; own up to their failures and take steps to make improvements,’’ Odekhian admonished. (NAN)

He urged the men to lead by example, radiate qualities worthy of
emulation and to be picked as role models by their children and others.
He said fathers should stand up to their responsibilities even when
their wives earn more than they do and financial responsibilities must
be met.“Align yourself with the word of God. Build your spiritual stamina by reading books from anointed men of God so as to gain wisdom.
