“WHERE ARE THE FATHERS? I have seen this cry in countless men and women in the body of Christ. Most of them are young and with a strong call of God on their lives. They cry out for a father, a man to disciple, love, support, and encourage them. This is why God said He would “turn the hearts of the fathers [leaders] to the children [people], and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse” (Mal. 4:6). Our nation lost its fathers (dads, leaders, or ministers) in the 1940s and 1950s, and today our condition is getting worse. Not unlike Saul, many leaders in our homes, corporations, and churches are more concerned with their goals than with their offspring. Because of this attitude, these leaders view God’s people as resources to serve their vision instead of seeing the vision as the vehicle to serve the people.”

“What is our true desire and our true passion? Are we seeking after God? Are we seeking to have a right heart? It is OK to ask God to restore our passion, to give us a right heart. The spirit of a man is the lamp of the LORD, Searching all the inner depths of his heart. (Proverbs 20:27 NKJV). He who loves purity of heart and has grace on his lips, the king will be his friend (Proverbs 22:11 NKJV). In order to access the window to the Kingdom, we must clean the rooms in our hearts. Then, and only then, will we access the rivers of living waters, revelation, power, and love of the Kingdom.”

“justifies the cost of wounded lives and shattered people. Justice, mercy, integrity, and love are compromised for success. Decisions are based on money, numbers, and results.”
