So concentrate on them instead of requiring other people's children to be calling you "papa", etc while abandoning their own biological fathers.

We have this treasure in earthen vessels. As long as the vessel is earthen, there will be mistakes made. It is also a mistake to be always there for your kids because they will not learn that life can be hard. I celebrate the archbishop for being very tranc[arent so younger ministers will learn. I remember Benny Hinn saying he made the same mistake, he put ministry ahead of family when family should have been his first ministry. It has cost many ministers their marriages. God bless you Papa. The irony is that he is a father to a generation, and yet his own son will not call him father. The Lord will avenge!!!

At least, let's give him the benefit of the doubt for being candid. These are the silent chapters of the ministers of the Gospel. God bless you, sir.

He is giving spurious excuses. He's not the first man in the pulpit. So long as he didn't sleep in his Church, he could go home and attend to his kids and wife, and it's called affection.

You don't need 10 hours everyday to show tenderness and love to those who didn't ask you to bring them into this world. I regret, he's not a genuine pastor.

When you make describe ur realization as revelation u confuse people. Simply, u lacked wisdom and experience at that time until u grew up saw the resultant effect of not raising the kid with ur wife. So tell your congregants that experience have now taught to have time with ur children not by special or spiritual revelation as u put.

His story is repeated in the lives of countless families where either the father or mother or even both parents are caught up in career or vocational pursuits. As a good few "clients" of mine have admitted over many years they regretted "not making time for [their] children or spouse", they did not "know where the time went" (because time seemed to pass so quickly). One gentleman spent nearly two decades trotting all over the globe in his very lucrative high profile job and missed out seeing his daughters grow up. He retired home a stranger to hos family. Others lost their spouse because they neglected them and one day they got a call telling them they were going to be ALONE.
MAKING TIME FOR ONES FAMILY (SPOUSE, CHILDREN) IS VITAL FOR THE HEALTH OF ONE'S FAMILY AND ONE'S EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. We are talking about the nuclear family ,not the extended families which are lower in terms of priorities. Money, Career ,Friends and even extended family must never ever replace NUCLEAR FAMILY in terms of importance.

Being broke and staying at home can also cause a 24hr nagging and resentment even though you see the children everyday and try to show love.

But if you have no kudiii to provide them their needs and they see their freinds dad doing it they will equally resent you for being broke. If you not even careful Madam will be shagging someone who provides her her needs,

Its a tough world for a man i swear!

The key for many of us is our inability to recognize the need to work very hard to acquire a profession or skill so that we can eventually earn a good income. Many people work hard but do not plan well and do not know how to delay gratification. They set up a business and work very hard .However as soon as they start earning well they quickly increase their spending instead of allowing their profits to grow so that they can re-invest this into the business and make it expand further. They divert profits into buying a car, wear expensive clothing ,throw expensive parties in order to impress friends and relatives. But a wise man or prudent woman will have discipline and practice DELAYED GRATIFICATION ( i.e Sacrifice today or economize today in order to enjoy tomorrow). The wise constantly strive to improve themselves.

hmmm... Gh problem paaa... even if they are present, they want the kids to fear them, so they are so emotionally unattached. The kids are called, "the woman's children." It's all a type of mental health or cultural issue, where the father/man thinks or plays overly bossy to command respect instead of earning it. Gaslighting the wife, kids, all bla's... We are different. we realized this, and pray to give all the love, time, to create memories with our kids, just like our Heavenly Father. At least, thanks for accepting this fault, may God restore your relationship with your kids. Your latter days will be better because of this confession.

Can you articulate your thoughts without insults? If you are a father who works to make ends meet, you will empathize with him. This is the life of a career man or woman, unless you are a lazy baby daddy

But do the children really care if even you give them an arm and a leg. In todays tough world they have their own lives to live. Jobs, careers and family whom they vave to prioritize. Even in wealthy countries over 70% of parents end up in old people homes despite the love shown by parents to children. Its just the way ir goes!

And they call all these charlatans daddies and papas, appuuuu. They don't deserve to be called that. God did not reveal anything to you, it's just a simple realization that you messed up and has failed as a father in the physical, so you cannot be a spiritual father either. Why can't you lift dirty hands you claim to be holy, on your children for healing. Obinim has confessed his lying attitude, next will be you, and all the others will follow. Your cups are getting full and will over flow with disgrace and shame.
