Spiritual fathers!

When Peter asked Jesus a very serious question:


“We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?” ‭Matthew 19:27 NIV‬

What is Jesus' response?


Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
‭Matthew 19:28-30 NIV‬


So according to Jesus if anyone has left a father to follow Jesus will he be blessed with many fathers?

Are those many fathers his biological or spiritual fathers in the Lord?

Well there is nothing wrong in having many spiritual fathers but then there is one father we all have who has the final say Jesus said that is our heavenly Father! Matthew 23:8-10 compare to John 20:17

So what is the practical application of these scriptures?

Just as children are to obey their parents in line with the what God said {Ephesians 6:1} all our spiritual fathers should be in union with the Lord so that there won't be contradicting counsels from those we view as our spiritual fathers! 1Corinthans 1:10; 1Peter 3:8

This means if two elderly men aren't in agreement regarding doctrine then they are not sound spiritual fathers but worldly fathers who teaches children according to their own thoughts unlike Jesus who always teaches his disciples (children) just as his father taught him! John 5:30

May you have peace!
Guess what?

I heard the Holy Spirit, made a comment about many Nairalanders this morning, saying:

"They can only quote scriptures, THEY DON'T LIVE BY IT"

"Lobatan"

Just exactly what I said about Manny Nairalanders few hours ago on this thread

You people need to be born again, and STOP faking to be Christians.

I'm sorry to say, YOU PEOPLE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT JESUS / GOD.

NOTHING IS HOLY ABOUT YOU GUYS.

YOU BETTER EMBRACE JESUS CHRIST NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

HELL FIRE IS REAL OOOOOOOOOOO

RhemaJet7:
The Bible claims to be written by the Holy Spirit through human authors, describing itself as "God-breathed" (

). The core proof rests on biblical testimony, where prophets and apostles were "carried along by the Holy Spirit," ensuring the text is a divine-human partnership where God supervised the content.
Hey, Paul allegedly wrote the God-breathed verse in 2 Timothy 3:16. But he wasn't a witness over any of the scriptures. Even the ones he wrote still has words like these in red:

To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord):If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. 1 Corinthians 7:12

Are all scriptures still God-breathed? And what does "I, not the Lord" mean above?

Secondly,.the first verses of Luke has already exposed this! Many were just writing what they heard, investigated and received from unnamed eyewitnesses! No holy spirit or God-breathed anything!

Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. Luke 1:1-4

Where is the location of Hell fire?😂
Re: Can A Believer Have More Than One Spiritual Father? by lezz(m): 11:29am On Apr 19
The idea of spiritual father is a myth. You're not in the Saint Paul era where the bible and gospel is new and unprecedented.

You people are now business conglomerate pretending to be spiritual fathers.
Re: Can A Believer Have More Than One Spiritual Father? by Precious201010(m): 11:32am On Apr 19
The answer is NO, the same way U can't have more than one biological father....

What many of us calls spiritual father today is actually mentors..... Your spiritual father is one who first led U to Christ and nurtured U.

INTRODUCTION

Who is a Spiritual Father?

A spiritual father is a mature Christian leader who provides mentorship, covering, doctrinal guidance, and accountability to foster a believer’s spiritual maturity.

Can a believer have more than one Spiritual Father?
No,
You can have multiple Mentors or Guardians in Christ, but you can not have more than one Father.

1 Corinthians 4:15-17

15. Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
1 Corinthians 4:17

16. I urge you to imitate me.

17. For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.

How To Identify Your Spiritual Father?

For the fact that you worship in a church does not mean that the Overall Head of that church is automatically your Spiritual Father.
Only Jesus Christ assigns a Spiritual Father to a believer.
Your Spiritual Father may be the Over Head of your former Church or someone else.
It can as well be the Overall Head of your current church.
To identify your Spiritual Father, therefore, you have to seek the help of the Holy Spirit to reveal him to you.
You can have multiple Mentors or Guardians in Christ, but you can not have more than one Spiritual Father.
Another thing about a Spiritual Father, is that, your Spiritual Father may not even know you from Adam, but in dreams, you will be interacting with each other.
He is the foundation for your calling.

If you choose a wrong person as your Spiritual Father, YOU ARE LOST!

I am speaking from experience, inspired by the Holy Spirit .

When you're filled by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit / anointing will teach you all things, even the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 2:10.

A life without divine guidance, is a life in chaos.

Seek the in-filling of the Holy Spirit today, and become wiser.

Benefits of having a Spiritual Father:

(1) Spiritual Coverings: A man without a Spiritual Father is running a risk.
Spiritual Father provides coverings that no other person can provide

(2) Empowerment: Impartation of anointing

(3) A Life of Maximum Grace

(4) Spiritual Maturity and Mentorship: They act as coaches, building character and discipline, similar to the relationship between Paul and Timothy.

(5) Guidance and Protection: They offer protection (like a shepherd) and, through their experience, help navigate life's decisions, preventing mistakes and fostering growth.

(6) Impartation of Maximum Grace: They pass down spiritual authority, mantles, and insights gained from their own walk with God.

(7) Accountability and Covering: They provide a safe space for correction and prayer, covering you spiritually and creating a strong foundation for your calling.

(cool Identity and Legacy: They help clarify your calling, often providing a "spiritual family" and ensuring the continuation of godly values and legacy.

(9) Opportunities for Growth: They provide platforms to serve and develop your skills.

Seek the help of Holy Spirit today, to reveal your Spiritual Father to you.

God bless you.

HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE YET TO BE BORN AGAIN,
THE BEST TIME TO DO THAT IS NOW,
KINDLY FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:

(1) Repent today

(2) Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Saviour

(3) Do Water Baptism: at this stage, you shall receive gifts from the Holy Spirit.

Having done all these, then, you shall be saved, be cleansed, experience the peace of God, and secure ETERNITY.

John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

And guess what? There is no sin that God can not handle, whether you're a Murderer, an Armed Robber, a Prostitute or whatsoever, the moment you have repented, God is always available to receive you, forgive you and shall bless you and you shall have peace in Him.
God is a Father, and He is full of mercy.
God does not want the death of any sinner, He loves you unconditionally.

Every sinner has a hope,

Every sinner has a future.

Say This Prayer After Me Wholeheartedly:

Lord Jesus, thank you for this Gift of Salvation, I am sorry for all the sins I have committed, today, I accept you as my Lord and Personal Saviour, I surrender everything unto you, let your Spirit begin to lead me, guide me, today, I am born again and I promise never to go back to sin anymore, help me Lord, in Jesus Mighty name, amen!

As you have prayed, so shall it be in Jesus Mighty name, amen!

Congratulations!

Luke 15:7

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Look for a Bible believing church around you and be worshipping there.

At your church, join any Service Unit of your choice and be serving God there, serve with your money, time or other resources.

Continue to love God, seek Him diligently, then you will become more precious to God, and He will be committed to reward you abundantly both on earth and in heaven.

Regarding the benefits, I have given enough info on that.
God back and read
grammatical not having many fathers isn't equal to saying you must have only one father.

Being a father is liken to being a founder, there can be one founder or multiple founders

We only have one spiritual father, who is God Almighty, yet we have other men who play the roles of fathers in our lives, our biological fathers inclusive.

It is very interesting, seeing many Nairalanders, washing their dirty linen in public, arguing blindly that THERE IS NOTHING CALLED HUMAN SPIRITUAL FATHER.
They keep quoting scriptures they don't understand.
I have told them severally that, they can't fully understand the scriptures, except with the help of the Holy Spirit to interpret it for them for better UNDERSTANDING, but they remained headstrong, keep teaching FALSE DOCTRINE, leading people astray.

1 Corinthians 2:14

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

I repeat, below, is the real scripture for Spiritual Fatherhood:

1 Thessalonians 2:11-12

For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children,

encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.

Shalom.

Read Matthew 23 vs 8. This will change your thinking about all you have just wrote. moreso, read the entire Matthew 23 so that you will not be like those Jesus is talking about in the Chapter.

INTRODUCTION

Who is a Spiritual Father?

A spiritual father is a mature Christian leader who provides mentorship, covering, doctrinal guidance, and accountability to foster a believer’s spiritual maturity.

Can a believer have more than one Spiritual Father?
No,
You can have multiple Mentors or Guardians in Christ, but you can not have more than one Father.

1 Corinthians 4:15-17

15. Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
1 Corinthians 4:17

16. I urge you to imitate me.

17. For this reason I have sent to you Timothy, my son whom I love, who is faithful in the Lord. He will remind you of my way of life in Christ Jesus, which agrees with what I teach everywhere in every church.

How To Identify Your Spiritual Father?

For the fact that you worship in a church does not mean that the Overall Head of that church is automatically your Spiritual Father.
Only Jesus Christ assigns a Spiritual Father to a believer.
Your Spiritual Father may be the Over Head of your former Church or someone else.
It can as well be the Overall Head of your current church.
To identify your Spiritual Father, therefore, you have to seek the help of the Holy Spirit to reveal him to you.
You can have multiple Mentors or Guardians in Christ, but you can not have more than one Spiritual Father.
Another thing about a Spiritual Father, is that, your Spiritual Father may not even know you from Adam, but in dreams, you will be interacting with each other.
He is the foundation for your calling.

If you choose a wrong person as your Spiritual Father, YOU ARE LOST!

I am speaking from experience, inspired by the Holy Spirit .

When you're filled by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit / anointing will teach you all things, even the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 2:10.

A life without divine guidance, is a life in chaos.

Seek the in-filling of the Holy Spirit today, and become wiser.

Benefits of having a Spiritual Father:

(1) Spiritual Coverings: A man without a Spiritual Father is running a risk.
Spiritual Father provides coverings that no other person can provide

(2) Empowerment: Impartation of anointing

(3) A Life of Maximum Grace

(4) Spiritual Maturity and Mentorship: They act as coaches, building character and discipline, similar to the relationship between Paul and Timothy.

(5) Guidance and Protection: They offer protection (like a shepherd) and, through their experience, help navigate life's decisions, preventing mistakes and fostering growth.

(6) Impartation of Maximum Grace: They pass down spiritual authority, mantles, and insights gained from their own walk with God.

(7) Accountability and Covering: They provide a safe space for correction and prayer, covering you spiritually and creating a strong foundation for your calling.

(cool Identity and Legacy: They help clarify your calling, often providing a "spiritual family" and ensuring the continuation of godly values and legacy.

(9) Opportunities for Growth: They provide platforms to serve and develop your skills.

Seek the help of Holy Spirit today, to reveal your Spiritual Father to you.

God bless you.

HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE YET TO BE BORN AGAIN,
THE BEST TIME TO DO THAT IS NOW,
KINDLY FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS BELOW:

(1) Repent today

(2) Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Saviour

(3) Do Water Baptism: at this stage, you shall receive gifts from the Holy Spirit.

Having done all these, then, you shall be saved, be cleansed, experience the peace of God, and secure ETERNITY.

John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

And guess what? There is no sin that God can not handle, whether you're a Murderer, an Armed Robber, a Prostitute or whatsoever, the moment you have repented, God is always available to receive you, forgive you and shall bless you and you shall have peace in Him.
God is a Father, and He is full of mercy.
God does not want the death of any sinner, He loves you unconditionally.

Every sinner has a hope,

Every sinner has a future.

Say This Prayer After Me Wholeheartedly:

Lord Jesus, thank you for this Gift of Salvation, I am sorry for all the sins I have committed, today, I accept you as my Lord and Personal Saviour, I surrender everything unto you, let your Spirit begin to lead me, guide me, today, I am born again and I promise never to go back to sin anymore, help me Lord, in Jesus Mighty name, amen!

As you have prayed, so shall it be in Jesus Mighty name, amen!

Congratulations!

Luke 15:7

I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.

Look for a Bible believing church around you and be worshipping there.

At your church, join any Service Unit of your choice and be serving God there, serve with your money, time or other resources.

Continue to love God, seek Him diligently, then you will become more precious to God, and He will be committed to reward you abundantly both on earth and in heaven.
Hebrews 11:6, Matthew 6: 33.

Lol! grin I wonder where you lot are getting all these false teachings from! Lol angry grin.

So you can't relate or have a direct intimate relationship with God Himself and be covered? You only receive spiritual covering only when you have a spiritual father grin grin! Very funny.
May God Have mercy on us.
RhemaJet7:
Spiritual Fatherhood is very important.
As a believer, if you don't have a Father, you're running a risk, exposed to DANGER.
The type of Spiritual Coverings a Father provides, no one can provide it.

All the passage you quoted, none addresses Paul as spiritual father

The phrase 'spiritual father' is a scam used to cheat in the christendom

Spiritual fatherhood is a false doctrine. Not taught by Jesus , Peter or Paul.

There is no mediator between man and God apart from Jesus. Every letter of Paul always point believers to Jesus' teachings

1cor 1: 11-17

My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas[a]”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized in the name of Paul? 14 I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15 so no one can say that you were baptized in my name. 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else.) 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
