The Archbishop, Ecclesiastical Province of The Niger and Anglican Bishop of Awka , Alexander Ibezim has urged Fathers to stand strong and unshakable as pillars of their families.
Ibezim stated this on the occassion of the 2023 Father’s Day celebration in Awka on Sunday.
The theme of the message was “The Role of the Christian Family in a Time Like This”.
The Bishop applauded Fathers for their various roles as pillars of their homes, saying they have to do more by not relenting in their roles of building a healthy family that will turn out a good society, especially under the present economic imbalance in the country.
Ibezim said that God will empower Fathers to live up to their responsibilities as He has instituted marriage to procreate and grow good families.
According to Ibezim, in Genesis 18, verse 19, the Bible said that the father will command his children and his household after him and they shall keep the way of the Lord to do justice.
He urged Fathers to live exemplary lives and shun unholy activities which could breed hatred, unnatural affection covetousness and pride.
He reminded them that God has empowered Fathers to head their homes and provide care for the people he entrusted into their care, warning that this will be achieved only when Fathers live right and embrace God as head of their families .
