Fatherhood phase

Tuesday, October 11th
Fatherhood phase.

“I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. …”
1 John 2:13a

The final phase in spiritual growth is called the fatherhood phase. At this phase of spiritual growth, you are not just celebrating victories, you are celebrating spiritual discoveries. At this phase you have attained a depth in God that is beyond just a mere knowledge of Him.

The greatest revelation you can ever get from God is the revelation of Himself to you. At this phase, the Father is your obsession. He means everything to you. He means more to you at this phase than all the victories you have attained in Him.

This was where the Apostle Paul was when He said in Philippians 3:9-15, “But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.”


Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that you give unto me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the deep and intimate knowledge of you, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
