2 Fathers

If possible, most of us would love to have two spiritual fathers. Isn't that most ideal? Won't that be the quintessential of every human being's fantasy?

Yet in the Bible, we were told that we could only honor one father (Matthew 6:24).

One father promises us everything that is temporary and the other promises us everything that will last for all eternity.

Still we have to make a choice. Surprisingly, most of us would pick the offer that is temporary.

Perhaps money is a priority over God in Christ Jesus, our Saviour to survive! If we have money, we don't need God, Father of our Lord Saviour Jesus.

But when we have God, we have everything and beyond!

Still most of us argue that we need money to survive! "How can anyone lived or accomplished anything without money?" echo our exclaimation. Perhaps God's power is debilitating?

All of us at some time struggle juggling making a decision between the two. The worst are those who sat on the fence; those who would love having two fathers!

I undergo 7 painful and difficult years struggling each day to finally comprehend the truth. And the truth was never about money or the things that is of this world. The truth is God loved me so much that He came in Jesus Christ to redeem me so that I could have an everlasting fellowship with Him as Father and son.

But don't we all concur that it's impossible serving and pleasing two fathers? Furthermore why would anyone desire something that is only temporary? Why would anyone not desire something that is infinite?

Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
1 John 2:15-17

I chose Jesus Christ, the son of the living Almighty God of Israel who loved me and promises me timeless relationship with Him through his death on the cross and resurrection by the power of the Holy Spirit. I await you my Lord Saviour and Redeemer Jesus to come soon to take me home safely to be with the Father. Come Lord Jesus, Amen!
