7 MOMENTS WHEN IT IS TIME AND SAFE TO DISCONNECT FROM A FATHER AS A SON:
By all means, refuse to be disconnected. Do everything within your power not to disconnect. That is how it should be. But wise sons and know when disconnecting is the safest thing to do.
They don't only know when to disconnect, but they know how to do it without disrespect and dishonor.
NOW HOW DO I KNOW IT IS TIME TO DISCONNECT FROM A FATHER AS A SON?
1. When you are led by God to disconnect. Don't question God, he sees what you can't see, and knows what you don't know. Most especially, if he is a father you gave to yourself and not the father that begot you in the gospel. 90 Percent of the people we call fathers, at best should be a mentor or a senior Brother. There are conversations God heard, that made him said you should leave. Don't argue with him.
2. When your father has gone into doctrinal errors or doctrine you don't think is safe for your Christian well-being. For example, if a father, says there is no heaven anywhere. And he is proving it from scriptures. If you believe in Heaven, please stay away. Otherwise, you will join him to preach it very soon. A father we all believe in, gave this counsel to an assistant Pastor, when his General Overseer started preaching- once saved is forever saved-. He left to go and found his own church. Where he can preach once saved is not forever saved, if you go into sin. No sentiment.
3. When your father is swimming in all kinds of sins, and he believes you must prove your loyalty to him by either doing it with him or covering for him. No father is perfect, the one whose imperfection is known to even the blind, is a shame to be called your father. You must be stronger than the drunkard whose nakedness you want to cover so that he doesn't end up tearing the cloth you are wearing also. How can you be arranging girls for a father, can't he get girls by himself? Don't partake in other peoples sin. That is what the scripture admonishes.
Cover weaknesses that are not sin, but walk away from weaknesses that are sinful. They don't have another Heaven to take you to.
4. When he wants you to always obey him, even when you have to disobey God by obeying him.
But be sure you heard God accurately I was told how a father in the land, told his spiritual father who has gone to be with the Lord, I said God asked me to relocate and you said I should not move. Were you there when God called me? God said I should move, and you are saying I should not move to anywhere. The spiritual father apologized and asked him to move. Today, that is the move that changed everything about that ministry. Obey spiritual fathers, but don't disobey your heavenly father.
5. When he wants to change your mandate and ministry pattern to suit his own mandate and pattern. May God bless and honor Papa Oyedepo for how he handles his 2 most celebrated sons who operate a ministry where people fall under the anointing, a dimension that is completely different from the Living Faith mandate. Some fathers would have lost those 2 great men of God. All you will be hearing every time they gather for ministers' conference, it is not by falling under the anointing. Stop that nonsense. You can tell that to a branch pastor, but not to a founder. A founder is accountable to God and not to any man. Imagine if Apostle Johnson Suleman needs to bury the prophetic, in order to appease Daddy Adeboye and Papa Ayo? A portion of his ministry would have been lost. That is why you must not submit to a father, who wants to control your mandate and your ministry pattern.
6. When jealousy and envy has eaten deep into the father's heart against the achievements of the son.
He who is jealous of you can kill you. He who is jealous of you can set you up. He who is jealous of you, will spoil your name behind you. He who is jealous of you can poison you. According to the scriptures, jealousy is worse than death. Anywhere jealousy starts, is where the relationship should end.
MY DEFINITION OF A FATHER AND SON RELATIONSHIP, IS HOW OUR FATHER PAPA OYEDEPO, AND DADDY G.O. OPERATE IT.
Are you saying Daddy G.O. doesn't know Shiloh is same week with Holy Ghost Congress? Are you saying Daddy G.O. doesn't know that the man with the largest church building is building another largest church building? Are you saying that Daddy G.O., doesn't know the number of planes Winners have? Are you saying Daddy G.O., doesn't know what is Papa Oyedepo's stand on the political state of our nation? There is a difference between submission by frustration and submission by mere respect and honor for you. Some sons came because they are suffering, some came because they just love and honor you. Don't get carried away, and want to control everything about a son, who is a father in his own right. To be a good father, go and study Daddy G.O. and Papa Oyedepo. Also, study Papa Oyedepo and Pst David Ibiyeomie and Dr. Paul Enenche. Some of us will be free from the witchcraft we are practicing in the name of fatherhood.
7. When a father like Saul in the Bible has released his javelin against David.
David, it is wrong to touch Saul. But very right to run away from the presence of Saul. David ran away from the presence of Saul so many times and in so many places. REBELLION IS WRONG, BUT RUNNING AWAY IS RIGHT.
REBELLION IS WITCHCRAFT, BUT RUNNING AWAY IS WISECRAFT.
Don't touch God's anointed, but don't also allow God's anointed to kill you, run for your life. To survive the Javelin of Saul, you must know how to escape from his presence.
1 Samuel 18:11.
Saul attempted to kill David 14 good times in the scriptures. At this point, there is no wisdom in surviving Saul, other than running away from his presence, and fortifying yourself wherever you are. Because he can go spiritual and diabolical, running away is the key. GIVE ME THREE KEYS ON HOW TO SUBMIT TO A MAN THAT WANTS YOU DEAD. There is no key. Just keep running until you guys meet in Heaven.
Be blessed.
