First Chronicles Twenty-Two - Father's Charge

 

"Now David said, 'Solomon my son is young and inexperienced, and the house to be built for the Lord must be exceedingly magnificent, famous and glorious throughout all countries. I will now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparations before his death. Then he called for his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for the Lord God of Israel,'" 1 Chronicles 22:5-6, NKJV. #FathersCharge

Before the death of some of the most renowned servants of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ, many of whom themselves were either actual fathers, or seen as "fathers" or leaders, a charge was issued to their son, sons or predecessors; they often dealt with marriage, perpetuating the work of the Lord or spiritual warfare.

Genesis 24:1-4, John 21:15-17 and 1 Timothy 1:18-20.
