A CALL TO FATHERHOOD
And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him a hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads…
Let’s focus on the famous vision of a hundred and forty-four men standing in glory upon mount Zion. This is an eternal spiritual eye view of those who have attained to the ultimate divine state of Fatherhood. You must see yourself standing in that company and make it a present reality. This great vision is a present and continuous event throughout the ages revealing the state of those who have come unto the fully blown image of the Son, unto God the fountain of life. Walking in the Father nature depicts the end of the faith for those who awaken unto their true selves. In recovering themselves they have thus known that endless life that spans eternity.
What great news! The Lord God and Father is the great promise and reward for those with hearing ears. This call unto Fatherhood is the only saving message transmitted through the ages to mankind but rarely do men discern this great call to divinity and life. This is the calling with which the likes of Noah, Abram, Lot and the host of God seekers through the ages were called unto but they could not discern this.
Abraham received a call along with a promise saying: “I will make you Father of a multitude of nations”. Not able to tap into the language of the Spirit, he looked forward to the fulfilment of the call upon the earth and prospered according to his level a faith. Today we see the natural descendants of Abraham spread over the face of the earth, but I must tell you it is all a mere shadow of greater things to come. There can only be one Father of a multitude of nations, He is called the Lord of hosts, hence the Spirit says call no man upon the earth Father. The Father is the living one who inhabits eternity; some may call this habitation heaven others mount Zion. Those who attain to the ultimate promise do ascend into the Father and thus live by the Father.
People might wonder, if there is one Father how come there are many who attain to that state? well this is another mystery that men can not accomplish on their own except by the Spirit. Those who ascend on high do unite in one Spirit with the Father and this union is orchestrated divinely in a manner beyond the understanding of man. The discerning eye recognizes the reality of one Spirit, one Lord, on God and Father in all and as all; this is the undefiled mindset and the new song of those who walk in the Father. With this mindset there is no occasion of stumbling.
Before I drop the pen, I call on all men who are still in the valley of decision to take time out to ponder on this one question asked throughout the ages: “who will ascend into the Father upon Zion”. The one who will understand this call and thus ascend into God will gladly leave the foolish vanities of humanity even his most treasured things as a man to attain to the ultimate Blessing. In so doing he inherits all things. He realizes that even though he sojourns in this world, this is not his world.
Ascending on high will mean a forsaking of all things that pertain to the old to lay a hold on that with is new. The old has to do with the mortal man of the earth, his traditions, his wisdom and all that he highly esteems in his finite understanding. The new will be that which pertains to the life of the Father; to ascend you must think and see as the Father. Now we are getting a clear picture of the veiled message to Abram which says: “leave all that is yours and I will show you the new“.
If you have heard the inner anointing bearing witness to what you just heard, with joy and holy reverence loosen yourself from the elements of the world below and patiently begin your ascent by walking in the reality of the Father nature now. Boldly stand in your place among the redeemed on the pinnacle of creation and behold the glory of the Father in the creation.
