Fatherhood is intentional

January 27, 2026January 27, 2026 admin

When God made man, His purpose was to create a copy of Himself. Man was not a mere caretaker of a garden. He was a reflection of the goodness and kindness of the one who made him. He was an image of the first Father of the world.

When a man has children under his care, he becomes the father of his world. Like God, he should be intentional about the well-being of these children. He does not leave it to chance. He provides for his children and sacrifices every comfort of his for them.

With the demands of juggling between keeping a career and home in our modern world today, fatherhood needs to be intentional now more than ever.
