Galatians 4:1-2 ESV
I mean that the HEIR, as long as he is a CHILD, is no different from a SLAVE, though he is the owner of everything,
[2]but he is under GUARDIANS and MANAGERS until the DATE SET by his FATHER.
The role and importance of a father figure in a child destiny is very Paramount and cannot be downplayed.
Fathers play very sensitive roles in building and contributing to the growth and development of their children by instilling discipline into them, fortify them with prayers and good counsel for them to fulfill purpose and destiny in life.
However, for any minister of God to move forward in the course of his ministry, he needs the Holy Ghost, serious dedication, discipline, hard work and more so a presence of a SPIRITUAL FATHER in his ministry. For instance, Timothy excelled on ministry because he had the presence of a spiritual father in the person of Apostle Paul around him. Also Elisha received his portion from Elijah his spiritual father because he took his time to carefully, diligently and faithfully serve his master by waiting on him to pour water in his cup for twenty years. Nevertheless, being a spiritual father has nothing to do with age, gender, ethnic background, size, fame, position, and race or language differences. It requires experience in ministry, the grace the person carries, the impact in your life, and the measure of his anointing working in your life.
WHO IS A SPIRITUAL FATHER???
1. He is a humble man of God, filled with the wisdom and the power of the Holy Spirit to a great capacity with vast experience in the work of ministry to impart, build, direct, instruct, counsel and bring out the best in the life of his children for fulfillment in the work of ministry.
2. He is a man you must not miss in your life to enhance your spiritual growth, build your spiritual life and help you to sharpen your spiritual antenna to connect signals from the third heaven.
3. He is very humble, gentle and disciplined through whom his children can receive truth from his mouth, regardless of their position, status, and fame, achievement in ministry or wealth.
4, He is a man that reproduces his kind via attitude, grace, and in the demonstration of God's anointing and power.
5. He is a man of authority set over you by God to release words of power and authority into your life and ministry.
HOW DO I RECOGNIZE MY SPIRITUAL FATHER???
1. Through training under his ministry.
2. By prophetic instruction
3. By divine revelation
4. By connecting to his ministry
5. By divine Encounter
6. By the leading of the Holy Spirit
7. By angelic assistance
8. Through dream
9. By having testimony anytime he prays for You
10. Through physical contact
HOW CAN I CONNECT TO THE ANOINTING OF A SPIRITUAL FATHER?
1. By following him closely and faithfully
2. By respecting and honouring his anointing
3. By praying for him secretly and privately
4. By ministering to his needs as the spirit leads you
5. By reading his books and listening to his messages
6. Total dedication and obedience to his instruction
7. Through humility
8. Through direct impartation
9. Through discernment
10. Through prophesy and so on
NOTE:
The fact that somebody converted you does not mean he is your spiritual father. The mere fact that someone is older than you or got into ministry before you doesnt qualify such a person as your spiritual father. You must know your spiritual father and he must also be able to recognize you, communicate wit you and pray for you. He must know secret thing about you and be able to identify you in the midst of the crowd. He must know your family, recognize your voice, understand your spiritual condition and know your temperament. He must also know your weaknesses, character, background, strength, education, you calling and ministry. He can stand for you in the public and identify your joy, pain and fulfillment. He must play an active role in your life and influence your destiny to the glory of God...
