Father's Mistake - Part 2


It’s time for teenagers to step out their judgment seat, and allow compassion to take its place in their heart. It’s time for teenagers to stop blaming and start praying for more clarity and details of what God wants them to do.  It’s time teenagers stop despising the fathers for their mistakes and start appreciating their effort and success.

Apart from the mistakes of the fathers, they have achieved things too; their strength                                                                has helped us in some ways. We have learnt from them too.  You must be careful not to allow their mistakes to blind you from their sacrifices they have made for us. 

This is not an excuse for the fathers to stay in their comfort zone. Fathers need to do what the Lord has set for them to do. Irrespective of their effort, fathers must understand that where they will stop is the starting point for the teenagers. 

Our fathers are accountable to God for whatsoever God has asked them to do. The success of the fathers will always look like the starting point for the teenagers. Fathers need to feel comfortable and secure with this reality. In the nearest future, the success of these present teenagers will also become the starting point for their unborn children. 

The mistake of the fathers is a call into what God has called you to do as teenagers. If teenagers can take the fathers out of the picture and focus on the mistakes on ground; teenagers will become wiser than this. This is the beginning of the teenagers who are ready to embrace the responsibility of quitting the blame game and start seeing the situation of adding value to the mistake on ground.

Don’t just sit and take note of the faults – question the fault you see and ask the Holy Spirit for answer.  Its time you begin to seek to know Gods opinion about the faults that is holding your attention as a teenager. You that is reading this, I want to invite you to take your father out of the picture and study the mistakes.  It’s time to know what created that mistake (idea). What kind of mindset generated this mistake? Why is this mindset faulty? What is the right mind-set? What must you stop doing? What must you start doing? What must you stop believing? What must you start believing? What’s the right approach? When is the perfect timing? What’s God opinion about this faulty?

Don’t hate the fathers, hate the mistakes. If you hate the fathers and create a gap between you and them, the chances to understand the mistakes will be lost. We still need the fathers to help us because they have being there before and they have more understanding than us.

Finding answers to the faults will demand the availability of the Holy Spirit and the fathers.  If the fathers consciously refuse to help you in understanding the faults dues to insecurity, depend on the Holy Spirit for answers. Always test to prove every information and answers you get from the father; make sure it align with the scriptures and the Holy Spirit. The mistakes are necessary for the continuation of Gods operations from one generation to another generation. 

Some fathers might be willing to help you understand the mistakes and some fathers will not accept but in all depend on the Holy Spirit. 

May the Holy Spirit heal your hurt and give you peace.

Jesus loves you.

It's time to forgive your father.

Teenagers and Purpose Discovery in Walking with God Through the Process

Beloved of God, your teenage years are not a mistake in God’s timetable. They are a sacred training ground where destiny begins to take shape. Purpose is not something you stumble into by chance. It is something God guides you into step by step when your heart is willing to learn, grow, and listen. Don’t jump the process in your purpose discovery and preparation, because every season carries a lesson designed to shape the version of you that will handle the future God has planned. God is not just preparing a purpose for you. He is preparing you for that purpose. Scripture says, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them” Ephesians 2 verse 10. Beloved, many teenagers feel pressure to rush through life, to achieve something fast, to be seen, to be celebrated, or to get ahead of others. But God’s kingdom culture is different. He builds slowly, deeply, and intentionally. Daivd was anointed as a teenager but ...

Making Time for God As Teenagers

What does it mean to make time for God as a teenager? It means learning to balance school, chores, and personal devotion without losing your connection with Him. God doesn’t just want your Sunday; He wants to walk with you every day. Daniel was a teenager when he decided to pray three times a day, even in a foreign land (Daniel 6:10). Making time for God is how you stay strong, wise, and calm when life feels busy or confusing. How can you make this time real and practical? Start small—pray before classes, read a verse before bed, and talk to God while doing chores. Keep your Bible or devotion app handy and build a simple schedule that fits your day. Choose consistency over perfection; even five minutes of sincere prayer can change your attitude and focus. Making time for God is less about the clock and more about the heart. Why is this important, and who must take responsibility for it? You must—because your relationship with God shapes every other part of your life. Where it happens i...

Why Building Discipline Around Your Talents Matters as Teenagers

Every teenager has something God has placed within—a spark that can grow into purpose. But talent alone isn’t enough; discipline shapes it. Many young people have great potential but never see results because they lack consistency. It’s not enough to have a gift—you must train it. Proverbs 22:29 says, “Do you see a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings.” Diligence means showing up even when you don’t feel like it. Purpose doesn’t grow in comfort; it grows in commitment. The singers who rehearse when no one’s watching, the writers who keep practicing even when no one reads, the students who study hard despite distractions—those are the ones who rise. Discipline turns dreams into reality. Every time you practice, you’re not just improving your skill; you’re preparing for your divine assignment. God can only use what you’ve developed. David’s victory over Goliath started with private practice—using his sling in the fields when no one noticed. Don’t despise your small begin...
