  • Father’s Day: Cleric urges fathers to embrace responsibility, serve as role models

    by

    ,

    As the world celebrates Father’s Day, Pastor Emmanuel Ademola, the Funder, senior Pastor,  of Christ Renewal Church of All Nations, Aratunsi, Oke Aro Akure, Ondo state, has called on fathers to take their God-given responsibilities seriously by leading their families with love, care, and spiritual guidance.

    Speaking during a special Father’s Day service, Pastor Ademola emphasized that fathers are more than just providers, they are also spiritual leaders and role models to their children.

    “Every father is the pastor of his home,” he said. “You are the spiritual head of that little church called your family. You must give direction and lead by example.”

    The cleric urged fathers to embody Christ-like character and provide not only material needs but also emotional and spiritual support to their families. He noted that fatherhood is not defined solely by biological ties, as any man who takes responsibility for a child’s upbringing is worthy of the title.

    Citing a testimony from a church member, he recounted how a man who raised an adopted child later benefited from the child’s success. “Had he not played the role of a father, he may never have enjoyed that blessing,” Pastor Ademola noted.

    The cleric also spoke against domestic violence, stressing the importance of peaceful coexistence and mutual respect in the home.

    “Fathers, never raise your hands against your wives, especially in the presence of your children. Seek counseling if you are facing challenges,” he advised. “Mothers, too, should encourage strong, healthy bonds between fathers and their children.”

    Addressing common parenting issues, Pastor Ademola cautioned against excessive discipline, urging fathers to correct their children with love.

    “It’s wrong to beat a child into a coma just because they made a mistake. Ask yourself: did you not make such mistakes when you were their age?”

    He further charged fathers to live in a way that inspires their children. “Can your daughter confidently say she wants a husband like her father?” he asked, urging men to model Christ-like behavior and integrity.

    Quoting Matthew 5:48 and 1 Timothy 5:8, the pastor reminded fathers to strive for perfection in character and to fulfill their obligation to provide for their families.

    He concluded by urging parents to pray for their homes, spend quality time with their children, and avoid lifestyles that distance them from their families.

    “Let us correct in love, lead in truth, and love in action,” he said.

  • “We Don’t Have To Wait For Lent Before Fasting” – Cleric

    by

    ,

    A cleric, Pastor (Mrs.) Florence O. Ilemobade of The Great God Divine Presence Church, Akure, has advised Christians not to wait for the Lenten season before engaging in fasting and prayer.

    Pastor Ilemobade made this statement while speaking on the significance of Lent as the 40-day observance reached its 12th day.

    “As children of God, we should stop treating fasting and prayer as mere religious rituals. Instead, they should be a time of complete surrender, a period of separation from worldly distractions, and an opportunity to reflect, repent, and draw closer to God,” she said, citing Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 22:39-46 as biblical references.

    She described Lent as a period of fasting and prayer in preparation for the remembrance of Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection.

    “Lent is a 40-day period of spiritual preparation for Easter, the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a time for Christians to reflect on their faith, repent of their sins, and renew their commitment to following Christ,” she explained.

    According to her, Lent offers a unique opportunity for self-examination, repentance, and seeking God’s forgiveness. Through prayer, fasting, and charitable giving, believers can strengthen their relationship with God and grow in faith.

    Pastor Ilemobade also emphasized the Three Pillars of Lent: which includes , Prayer -Spending more time seeking God’s guidance, forgiveness, and strength. Fasting-Giving up something enjoyable, such as a favorite food or activity, to focus on spiritual growth. And Charitable Giving -Showing kindness and generosity to those in need.

    “I pray that the purpose of Lent will be fulfilled in our lives, in Jesus’ name,” she concluded.
