A LITTLE TIP ON FATHERHOOD

FATHERHOOD; A POST OF RESPONSIBILITY

The post of Fatherhood is as though a Pastoral Office amidst the five fold ministry stated in Eph. 4:11.
It has to do with the proper management of the lifestyle of the young ones through positive influence.
Many blame their mismanagement on the way they were brought up, many also blame it on the dilapidated society, why some don't find faults in their wrongs at all, stating that they're just being strict as Fathers.

Why do most men see Fatherhood as though having a Child???

Is Fatherhood not responsibility???
I know someone will quickly say YES!, paying the Child's bills and so on, neglecting the main aim of Fatherhood, "Living a lifestyle pattern that the Child can imitate". Now, that's the real Responsibility. Children are prone to adapt to the environment they are brought up in, and they simply just manifest greater dimensions of the character of the Father/Mother.
Don't blame the waywardness of your child on the society, rather be responsible for their Character development. If we have Fathers in such a society as this Nigerian One, Nigeria would be  better.
The definition of "Home Training" is inscribed in the way of Life of the Father&Mother. It is the influence of their character on the Child.

Only true Sons attain the post of Fatherhood. Build yourself, train yourself to take responsibilities first for your actions and words, then you can be responsible for others.
Fatherhood isn't Age-wise, Fatherhood isn't just Child bearing, Fatherhood is being courageous enough to take responsibility.
Help your potential Children by being responsible.
Don't wait until you have them before you start learning Responsibility.
