Have you ever wondered why fathers are faced with so much responsinlities that seem almost a dauting one or perhaps, the main reason why statistically, fathers die way too early than mothers? Well those question will continue to remain a mirage for everyone as regards why such an ugly situation remains what it is down to this time.
However, it mist be noted and taken to heart that fact that fathers are the main reason why child births are initiated and brought into this world of mankind and without any iota of doubt given the scientific prove of the man's spam that is fused with the woman's egg inorder to form a zygote or the baby that is otherwise known as the phoetus.
But aside that fatherly role in the act of reprocreation, it can not be overemphasized in the roles that fathers also play in other aspects in life. I'll rather implore all of you to join me in estblishing the father's other roles as we take them head on and in the most specific nature of it.
A father as the protector.
The role a father plays in the protection of the other members of his household is absolutely on a noticeable increase. He acts like a buffalo's soldier in his tireless quest in ensuring that no one ever tries to reduce his family to nothing or even try to berate the financially or otherwise.
What we often see the fathers here is taking an immidiate action towards the genuine and legal course of ensuring that his children and wife would have had their confidence and morales well boosted against any form of external aggressions.
A father as a daily provider
The role of a father in the provision of bread on a daily basis for his family members is really overwhelmingly surprising to me. My father's case here is a big example of a man or a father who's always ever ready to ensure that his family members have something to always eat even if it meant at his own expense, how impres.impressive such an amiable function and quality that is well inbuiled in him right from creason
A father as a mother at home.
Have you not heard that most men/fathers these days have taken over the kitchen matters from their wives and these can be seen in the ways they ensured that the other home chores are well handled aright.
Most fathers would fancy the idea of helping out in the kitchen in order to at least relieve their wives of some demanding tasks of always going into the kitchen to get some meals ready for the family's other needs.
I have a friend named kunle who does all that to the extent that before his wife eithers wakes up in the morning to do a thing in the kitchen or perherps try to enter the kitchen to prepare something for the family to eat after a very busy and tight schedule at work, Kunle would have been able to help her out in those regards that i'm most of the time left to ponder over why his surprising yet amiable character on that regard.
A father as christ like
The holy bible talked about the fathers as the head of the family just as the christ (jesus) is the head of the congregation. What we usually see of fathers are the roles they play in taking the lead to ensure his family stays spiritually strong.
He does all that by ensuring that he organizes a regular family worship in a bid not to forsake the gathering of the christ as some persons do have the custom.
However, the father usually does all that either on a daily or weekly basis and He leads or even presides over the bible study with some few words of a carefully chosen words of prayer.
A father as a patient teacher
Fathers are known for their patience but and a zero tolerance to all manners of indiscipline and as the case may be, he is ever ready never to withold the rod and spoil the child which is a wise counsel he was able to pick from the biblical injuction that says that; "spare the rod and spoil the child", yet a father won't even want to condescend himself down too low to sparing the rod while in his very watchful eyes, his child spoils.
In all, we can always accept the simple term for a father's strong will in that regard as being a loving father who only wants the best out of his children in all ramifications.
A father as a sacrificial lamb
In the days of old, lambs represent a symbol of peace and obedience and at that, most lambs are used as a sacrifice to the almighty God due to their importance spiritual wise.
Fathers can be said to truly reflect that lamb role in the lives of his children as at every point in time, he's ever ready to lay down his life to as a propitiatory sacrifice and ransome so as to redeem others and like christ, he establishes that even to the far reaching ends.
