The sermon began with Pastor Dami Oguntunde sharing the words of wisdom, that “while power creates, wisdom sustains” (Jeremiah 10:12). Believers are encouraged to seek wisdom to sustain and multiply what they have received.
The message then focused on The Mystery of Generosity, emphasizing that generosity is not just about money but a broad scope of selflessness which extends to “Fatherhood”—a divine gift (Psalm 68:5, James 1:27). The absence of fathers leads to societal decay, as God sees fatherlessness as an affliction (Proverbs 19:17).
A father provides three key things:
- Vision – Without vision, provision is meaningless.
- Provision – Meeting the needs of those under his care.
- Defense – Offering protection and guidance.
The essence of fatherhood is presence. The call to action : step into the role of a father for the fatherless and lead them to Christ.
