ENGLISH #FathersAndLoyalty-17.Quote."The father and all that he represents also provoke certain reactions and responses from children. These reactions vary from child to child and cause either a rise or fall of that child."-Bishop Dag Heward-Mills. Today’s Study Book – Fathers and Loyalty, by Dag Heward-Mills. Chapter - 1 Study Subject - How to Identify a Father Memory Verse - "And He said, Abba, Father, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE UNTO THEE; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt." Mark 14:36 (KJV) WHY ARE FATHERS DIFFERENT? (contd. 10) 2. God further makes it an issue to put and establish the distinction. (contd.9) iv) Protocol for Fathers (contd. 8) (d) God the Father and Jesus the Son (3) (XVI) Refusing to be provoked by your father “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children unto wrath: ...” Ephesians 6:4 (KJV). Children can be provoked by fathers, therefore children must learn that in the hour of provocation, we must refuse to be provoked. Why should we refuse to be provoked? We must because it is dangerous, even suicidal, to strike back or attack a father. David was provoked several times to kill King Saul. In fact, God gave him two different opportunities to kill Saul, but David observed this protocol, that of: ‘Even when being provoked by a father, refuse to be provoked!” If you yield to the provocation, you will retaliate and strike out at your father. Jesus, however, provides us with is the best example of this. In Today’s Memory Verse Jesus reminds God that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM, God, and so if He, God, really wanted to, He could change the plan. This is best example you can find of Jesus interceding and pleading skillfully as a gifted lawyer would in court. Yet, Jesus was not angry nor provoked by God’s refusal to heed this His heart rendering prayer and plea to escape the cross. Jesus went along WILLINGLY with this the most painful and bitterest ever of all His experiences.
