And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which He has spoken of him.

[Genesis 18:17-19]

Compliments of the Greatest Daddy of All Time!

Good Morning Beloved!

Happy Friday! What a BEAUTIFUL day! MySpaceGraphicsandAnimations.org

This is the day the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it! Genesis 18 is awesome! It offers us a glimpse behind the scenes into a Holy conversation. God talking about a man… Abraham. He is about to pronounce judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah. There is one problem…. Abraham’s nephew Lot and his family are living there. God knew Abraham’s heart. He knew how much he loved his nephew. At this point God is contemplating how much information He is going to share with him. God decides to tell Abraham what He is about to do. Abraham intercedes for the city, but in the end “bartered” with the Lord for the lives of his family. Abraham was a man. He had the same struggles, insecurities, fears as any other human being. His only difference was the friendship he enjoyed with God. He loved and honored God. That made him a GREAT man. He loved, respected and cherished his wife Sarah until her death. He loved his kids. He had a heart for his people and treated his servants well. A Great man. We’re about to celebrate “Father’s Day”. For many, this day is a source of pain. For the millions who never had a good father in their lives it is a reminder of what they never had. (if that is you, take heart… God is your Father.) For those who had good fathers, it is a time to celebrate and honor them. Those men who, like Abraham love and cherish their families. I personally applaud men like my Bishop.. Cornell Hughes. A father of 9, grandfather of 14 (with another grand on the way). A man who rose above his past circumstances to become a faithful husband, father, grandfather, leader and a wonderful person. Or Nathan Harkins… a young man who had also made his share of mistakes, but married a precious young lady who had four children and has become an excellent husband and father… they will celebrate 10 years in a few months. Another, is Major Coleman III… A great man who has raised two fabulous children. Not only are they great people, but thanks to their dad’s involvement and encouragement have become great athletes as well. Allan Williams is another great dad who dotes on his little princess, and strives to be the best person he can be. He lives his life as an example of the believer in word, deed and conversation. My daughter’s God-Father Angelo Parker. A great friend who has been a fantastic God-daddy over the years. He was at the hospital when my daughter was born and has always been close to our family. He has blessed us in too many ways to even count. Another special “dad” in my life, actually does not have any children right now.. Shaun Diggs. I believe he will be an awesome daddy someday. He has also been a good friend to our family for over 15 years and in that time has stepped in time and time again as a father figure and positive role model for my daughter, as well as the children of our other friends. His presence is invaluable. He can always be counted on to bring joy and laughter and a great gift! LOL! He is another great man. Our friend “Mr. Eddie” Davis. A man who lost his only son a fews year ago in a tragic accident, but who has become a father figure to other children…that makes him a great man. Kids just love him. My own father had many problems, but I honor him because he was my dad. My personality, my love of all forms of music, my love of the dramatic arts, my unruly hair… I’ve received from him. I don’t want to get into trouble naming names.. there are so many. For those I did not mention, charge my head not my heart. Good ‘ole Dads… keep up the good work! We appreciate you, not just on “Father’s Day”, but everyday. We may not tell you as often as we should, but you are invaluable and we bless God for you! I’ve learned that the word “father” is mentioned 1511 times throughout the bible…that tells us father is important. God has given you power. He has invested authority in you to speak peace, blessing, and prosperity over the lives of those around you. Use it. God Himself gave the title that describes Himself to them…
