“The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out…” – Proverbs 30:17

When Ham exposed the nakedness of his drunken father, he forgot that if his father hadn’t built the ark, he would have drowned with the rest of the world. What he did not know was that God had recorded his father’s single act of faith and imputed it to him as righteousness. Ham was disgracing someone that God had honoured.

Unfortunately, natural men have mistaken physical weakness for spiritual weakness. They presume that old age, sickness and problems reduce a person’s spiritual authority. That is one of the highest kinds of deceptions.

Isaac was an old blind man who could no longer tell the difference between his two sons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob deceived Isaac and received the pronouncement of a blessing from his father. Do not be misled by the blindness and weakness of your father. If a blind father can speak a blessing for it to happen, then we must fear the words of fathers.

You often hear people speaking against their fathers. They describe them as irresponsible men who didn’t look after them. Unfortunately, some young people take up the hurts of their mothers and champion the fight against their fathers. This is a terrible mistake for which they pay a high price. Some pay the price of barrenness; some pay the price of death. Yes, he may be blind, irresponsible, and deceived, but he is still a father.

May we never be part of the team that dishonours the fathers that God has honoured!
