Principles of Father as Head and Leader
1. Heads and leaders are first and foremost servants like Christ. It is impossible to assume a position of leadership without first serving.
2. Fathers must have the mind of Christ, which includes the knowledge and wisdom to lead a family in the ways of God.
Constitutional Scripture: I Corinthians 2:16
For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
3. As the visionary, the father anticipates things before they happen and prepares and equips the family to face the future. Fathers have perception, conception and inception.
4. Fathers discern and address the ongoing needs of their families.
5. Listening is a gift that fathers give to their families. When men listen, their listening tells their families that they care for them.
6. A true father speaks the Word of God in the home. Through the father's voice, the family is able to hear God's voice.
7. A father doesn't dominate or control his house. he develops the potential of everyone in his house through his leadership.
