THE UNCERTIFIED PRIEST
(for fathers)
Waking up to lead others,
Being a godly example to
others,
Teaching what he has learnt
from God to others,
Accurately dividing the word
of truth to others,
Upright in his dealings,
Father o! Father.
A father that learnt from
another Father,
He cannot explain his ways
with a maid,
You must leave your father,
Cleave to your wife,
You must know she is your
helpmeet,
You must provide for her not
to be an infidel,
You must love your wife,
You must be faithful to your
covenant with your wife,
You must dwell with her
according to knowledge,
You must give honour unto
her,
You must not be bitter
against her,
You must know that you are
both heirs of grace,
She is your partner to
answered prayers.
You must not make your
children angry,
You must nurture your
children,
You must not discourage them
You must admonish your
children in the Lord.
You must not grieve the
Spirit of God,
You must be given to
hospitality,
You must not be given to
wine,
You must not be greedy,
You must not be corrupt,
You must be peaceable,
You must be able to lead
your family,
Your must have good report
of outsiders.
By all these,
You must be an uncertified
Priest,
Priest that must preside,
Till the President of the
family returns,
When we would all be a
family.
