Now its time for us to talk the talk here....
Do you call your preacher Father?Is it the same thing as 'Daddy in the Lord'? same as 'Papa'?
A lot of you call your pastors your Spiritual Fathers right?I dont know about you but if you do such,this message may be just for you.
Remember that God is a JEALOUS GOD .....
What do you think about this?After reading this message will you still call your Pastor ''Father,Daddy,Papa''?
Hmmmm.....I see it as nothing bad. I call my pastor sir but if I want to gist someone about him I use the word *father in the Lord*
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
DeleteHmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
DeleteThe context is what is important here. You need discernment while reading the Bible. I believe this means you can out of respect for your pastors age and calling, call him Father but don't worship him or turn him into a god.
DeleteIf we were to reason along these lines then even Reno should call his biological father by his name or is it only your biological father you refer to as 'father'?
Reno abeg
How about calling my biological papa,Father?
DeleteMrsB, d bible was straight abt it, don't call anyone Father. Shikena
Delete1 Cor 4: 15..Paul said "Even if you had ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel...It is not about the mere word and human translation but the spiritual meaning. Remember the bible was translated to english. The word "father" as Jesus stated here meant "God"...as you have one God in heaven. This is similar to Exodus 20:3 -you shall have no other gods before me... If you call a man "dad" or "daddy" or "father" as long as you do not see him from your heart as your God or pray to him...it does not apply here. God is a spirit and sees the heart...he is not a man. Reno just revealed either his ignorance or his desire for controversy.
DeleteAnon, okay. Does this include one's biological father too?
DeleteWhat exactly is wrong with pastor, reverend, rabbi etc?
DeleteTank you Ayzee. God bless you.
DeleteThere's no big deal here in my opinion. If you are as old as my biological father I'd accord you the same reverence. That's all.
DeleteHmmmmmm.....
ReplyDeleteIt is well.
Let us learn to read the word of God with a lot of prayers for inspiration from the Holy Spirit to discern...we need that a lot or else we would read it like it's a story book.
DeleteTo the issue at hand, you see, God knows the end right from the beginning, he knew what christendom would become, anyways, the pharisees were already exhibiting some "ungodly things" so he had to leave an instruction for the future because he knew how worse it would get.
In this country, we revere "men of God" than God himself. People remember what their MOG says and not remember a line of the scripture.
"Daddy GO said this....", "Daddy GO prophesied this...."
I dare say that if your "Daddy in the lord" exhibits any of the characteristics in verses 1 - 12 of the above quoted chapter, you are in the WRONG fellowship!
If your "daddy" or "father" is out of respect for their age, God sees your heart.
But if it is because you see him as a mini-god or worse still because they demanded to be called such. IT IS WRONG.
Spiritually, only God is father.
Afterall, there is no grandchild of God...
Bipolar 👏👏
Delete@ bipolar me,thank you! You call them that out of respect for their age or contribution( father figure) to your life and not because you see them as gods,that's when it becomes a sin.... Reno should sometimes keep kwayet!
DeleteTo me pastor na pastor
ReplyDeleteHighest I use sir for him
My mum calls our priest "Nna anyi". We are Anglicans btw
DeleteGo and research on why Catholics address their priests as Father.. I dont know about daddy and co.
ReplyDeleteSo its ok to call Rev father..father but to call pastor father wrong ...my dear are they not both human beings ..Rev fathers are not exempted.
DeleteNooo dont misunderstand me, I'm saying i dont know why Pastors are called daddy but the Catholic church has a genuine reason.. Pls educate me if you know why I'm very willing to learn my dear.
Delete@oby o, u should research and tell us why the Catholics have a genuine reason Na. Hian
DeleteDaddy wasn't written in the bible. And what is the Catholics reason?
Delete@ Oby O, educate me on why catholic church call their pastors rev.father, please.
DeleteBiko SDK bvs make una no wound me oo i dont have the energy to type epistle except White Diamond will assist me lol.The reasons are numerous but let me make it as brief as possible, The reason Catholics address thier priests as Father is to remind them of tbe grave responsibilty entrusted on them to cater to both the spiritual (Confession etc) and physical needs (food, shelter etc)of God's flock in his care.Just as a biological Father must nourish, correct, instruct and forgive his children so also a priest for his spiritual children entrusted in his care....
DeleteIgnorance really condemns. I had no idea
ReplyDelete...But children, obey your father and mother...
ReplyDeleteWhich father z the bible talking about in this case?
The christian race ain't easy.
Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteThis one is strong oooo.
I call them daddy and mummy
I don't even know what to think now.
I don't know what to say about this.
ReplyDeletereading comments.
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteRespect and acknowledging the power and presence of God in him.
ReplyDeleteReno is jobless so he can continue to talk rubbish. When he was with Jonathan did he ever opened his foolish mouth to write this.
Reno and Abati both of you should go and look for job to do. Am sure una money never finish
Why are you digressing from the topic? GEJ hater oshi.
DeleteHnmmm
ReplyDeleteSo i will not call my biological father papa abi....just negodu
ReplyDelete#I am a fruitful vine, I am a joyful mother of children
Story!...
ReplyDeleteMy daddy in The Lord is my spiritual father!..what do you expect me to call him?...
I call him daddy the same way I call any old man daddy!...
It's a sign of respect!!...since my father is late,lemme be "daddying"everybody...
Reno,this your conversation no hold water!...
Lol.
DeleteI am coming let me read the amplified version.
ReplyDeleteLolz
DeleteWho's 'Reno omokri', z he a Muslim or does he like troubling the sleeping dog?
ReplyDeleteSo na bro i go dey call my papa? Reno should go and sleep. What is happening globally is beyond making references to trivial things.
ReplyDeleteThat is the truth.
ReplyDeleteWe are not supposed to refer to them as "Father" or "Daddy". It is not right.
Let's read from the earlier part of that particular chapter 23; 1- 12. It is not a figurative section of the bible, it is as real as ever.
And it referred to the Pharisees who thought they were the MOST HOLY then and still refers to our so called "Pastors"
Who want to be reverred, ran after in church, sit on high tables, and be called "The great teacher"... it's enough to call him "Pastor......" but which one is "Ou daddy, our father in the lord".
I have just one Father in the lord.
This is one of the things I love about the Seventh - Day Adventists (even though I have reservations about some of their other doctrines), their pastors are on the general note, the most humble crop of pastors I know.
Tuale!!!!! Daddy David Oyedekpo
ReplyDeleteFrom glory to glory.....that's my new name
From glory to glory......that's where I'm going
Stella what about your earthly father?
You no deu call am papa,father ni?
Reno omokiri,don't allow the devil 😈 to use you oh!!!!
Tuale!!!!! To Daddy G O
DeleteNo mind them jor. Them need spiritual understanding of the bible
Abi oo...on the winning team 🙌
DeleteTriple Tuale to both Daddy G O and Bishop Oyedepo.
DeleteFrom Glory to Glory that is where I am going to. Christian should be alert some people are anti Christ ready to confuse the world.
Thank you my correct pple. They should b reading d bible n confusing themselves. God is God, our Heavenly Father. We have spiritual fathers here on earth, just like Paul was to Timothy...
DeleteThat passage is from the scriptures and not from Reno
DeleteBy the way its self explanatory
Please read the whole chapter,not just one verse.
ReplyDelete"Anyone here on earth", meaning his kids do not call him dad,innit?
This is what you get when you read the bible like you're reading a story book.
ReplyDeleteThis simply means we should not worship any earthly man like we worship our heavenly father.
He should start calling the man that gave birth to him uncle or his name na.
Reno, when next you want to read the bible, ask the Holy Spirit for understanding.
God would bless you!
DeleteDon't mind him. He wants to trend by force
DeleteOpened this post, to see your opinion. Love you
DeleteLinda eze over to youuu... Lol
ReplyDeleteI call pastor. But if u have contributed significantly into my life (spiritually, financially, morally, intellectually) then i can as well call u daddy for playing a father figure to me. Infact any responsible man/woman old enough to be my parent i call them daddy/mummy. The problem lies when people start seeing men of God as God Himself almost like worshipping them. Thats wrong! Some people do not have a personal relationship with God. You have a bad dream at night instead of you to wake up and pray you start calling pastor.
ReplyDeleteEnd time kwarapt
ReplyDeleteI call my father in the Lord Daddy.
ReplyDeleteHe is my daddy,ofcus...he is older than me..he can give birth to me sefff

ReplyDeleteWith all due respect sir, YOU ARE JOBLESS!!!.
There are so many souls lost.
So many people need to be saved and be led to Christ.
There are so many people around you (lost souls) that you can introduce Jesus for their salvation.
what you should be thinking is how to advance God's Kingdom and NOT a topic for argument sir.
Don't mind him!!!
Delete
ReplyDeleteI don't call any Pastor daddy. I address them as "Sir" whenever i come across any.
Although i don't see anything wrong in it. A true christian/believer knows the difference when you call God Almighty "Father" and when you call any other man "Father"
I only have problem with those who call their pastor's wife mummy, kneeling down and genuflecting to them. Especially those old women calling pastors wives mummy.
That man should go and take a chill pill.
Well i am not used to saying Daddy unless you are my papa.
ReplyDeleteLol. Read this funny akpos jokes here
Why should a God be jealous in the first place? He created human with tendency to sin in the name of freewill and when they do he gets jealous? In fact There is almost no difference between Christian God Yahweh and those Jew's and Greeks that may have Invented him. He gets jealous,loves money, gets angry, degrades women, repents,supported slavery, favours some set of people? why can people see this?
ReplyDeleteI don't think the creator of this universe should posses these human characters if he is suppose to be All knowing and just. Also taking inconsideration the fact that revealed religion itself is mostly influenced by location and childhood indoctrination and this is one of the reasons why with reason, I rejected revealed religion including Christianity and embraced Deism ,coz I believe God gave us reason and not religion (apologies if this offended you) -@tweetest_boi
At least you acknowledge that there is God..
DeleteReno i will love to know the term you use for your biological father. If you have ever called him father.....

Elijah called Elisha, "MY FATHER, MY FATHER" ...2Kings2:12.
It shows the tie/bond between a spiritual father and son.
Elisha was able to be imparted the grace of God on Elijah because he maintained a soul tie with him.
My father in the Lord is Bishop David Oyedepo and i call him PAPA and am proud to have him as my father in the faith.
conclusion is that Reno Omokri is JOBLESS!!!
God bless daddy and mummy GO of RCCGworldwide
ReplyDeleteGod bless them
DeleteWho started this Papa and daddy trend in Christainity sef?
ReplyDeleteAfter relocating from Nigeria, my mentality about church just changed. Service here is strictly to worship God. No unnessary drama of announcement and co like i use to see in Nigeria(service is 2hours). Just one offering, pastor is humble like what i dont know. Nothing like mama or papa, daddy or father.
DeleteThey will tell you to simply look to the cross.
During winter people smoke outside the parking lot, during summer na shorts people dey wear lolz.
Preaching about repentence and Godly living is the main topic.
I have learnt not to judge anyone by smoking or dressing but simply work on my own salvation. So goodluck to everyone on this race of salvation.

He Only selling his market trying to be important in this present regime.
ReplyDeleteVery soon his social account will go numb...
Referring to the earthly fathers doesn't change peoples mind set on the Authority from Above.
Or has he heard anyone during prayer session saying " Our lord father Adeboye, or holy papa Oyedepo please grant me wisdom, favor, heart desires before?
He just Confused and a Hater...Continue
Na Only you go waka go soon
Reno this is not a time for argument or saying what we already new, but a time to come closer to God the everlasting father
ReplyDeleteIf I ondastnd d quote in Matt: 23:9 vry well. Does it mean dat we 'ldn't even address our biological fada's as ' Father / Daddy '. Pple 'ld stp being agent of Satan. God is nt begotten neither did HE begot 4 we re all HIS Creatures who shall be accountable 2 Him alone on d dy of judgment. U can tke dat 2 d Bank nd cash it.
ReplyDeleteYou really need to type like this.
Delete@ lovelace, sori babe, I dnt gt myself involved with pple who ve reptilian brain. U offspring of d beast.
DeleteHas any one stopped to ask why the recent attacks on men of God. All these people questioning the men of God, are they doing the same to their ocultic grand masters, imams, their chief priests and all other such satanic religious leaders? Why christian dom? This is the current method the devil is using to rubbish the children of God and some blind Christians are joining the fight. When st Paul addressed Timothy as his son what was he expecting Timothy to address him as? When st Peter addressed his audience/ readers/ early church as his children, what does he mean? Meanwhile, who are you to judge another man's servant? My pastor is my father, my papa, daddy, my Lord spiritual. The same goes to my biological father and all godly elderly men around me.
ReplyDeleteJews have father Abraham
ReplyDeleteElisha called Elijah My father
Paul called Timothy his son
Abraham for us Christians is our father in faith
the founding fathers of Nigeria etc
Do not read the Bible literally. Even you Stella have a lot to learn by jumping to conclusion that is is wrong to call someone father apart of from God. God is our Father with a capital "F" and only him deserves the highest respect and honour above our earthly fathers.
When u read d Old testament nd d New testament of d bible one 'll find lots of distortions. D Old testament as it is classified by dese writers, we were tld God Almighty is 1 God nd a jealous God nt Gods as we were made 2 blif in d New Testament where we were tld dia is God d Fada, God d Holy Spirit nd God d Son ( Jesus ). Who among dese 3 God's is most powerful?. Dia re mny verses in d bible wia Jesus himself has attest 42 d fact dat dia is 1 supreme Being God Almighty. Dese writers even went further 2 say dat d Old testament is old nd as passed way nd d new testament is d in thing. They quote 4rm d old testament wen it's convenient 2 do so but dey turn around 2 say ' Behold Old tins has passed away' referring 2 d Old Testament, 4gtting dat diaris dis quote dey used 2 quote ' Behold d Heavens nd Earth shall pass away but my word shall nt cme 2 Me void. God is watching d manipulator's of His book nd surely dia place is d bottomless pit with Satan.
ReplyDeleteMy pastor is my father and my daddy anytime anyday no devil nor Reno can change it.
ReplyDeleteHeight of joblessness.I thot Reno is a Pastor?
ReplyDeleteWell, if you do not have people calling you daddy, it is simply because there is nothing you are impacting on your flock. Yes, I have a spiritual father and I choose to call daddy cos of all he impacts in me. Shikena! He does not in anyway compete with my God. The same way I accord my earthly father respect too for bringing me to this world and teaching me values.
That would be the most stupidest thing I would ever do. #Daddy in the lord. Pastor go dey prophecy give woman the woman go dey say "yes daddy"
ReplyDeleteNa #father I bin wan talk. Una know say Na daddy common pass
ReplyDeleteReno you really need to stop taking things you read literally because it makes you sound foolish. You selected few chapters in the bible and built a conclusion on it and thinks it will hold water? Why don't you stick to the things you actually know cos obviously the Bible ain't one of them
ReplyDeleteBless you.
DeleteI am a co-heir with the Lord Jesus, so my Pastor is either Pastor or Sir. No de "papa or mama" any body.
ReplyDeletePeople latch on to one verse of the Bible and wait for an evil spirit to send them intrepretations and fiam off to Twitter they go. This man obviously doesnt read his Bible enough. Even God Almighty said "look unto Abraham thy father,and to Sarah that bore thee. Elisha called Elijah Father, Paul called Timothy son, what Jesus was trying to say was,a father figure basically provides,protects,inspires,and should be anyone's first and ultimate source,so we as children should look unto God alone,and unto no man,because it is God Almighty who can truly fulfill that role in our lives.let God alone be ur ultimate source for Everything. That's why the Bible says the letter killeth,but the spirit gives life.when u read the Bible,interpretation from the holyspirit is very important,that's why we have crazy doctrines everywhere.people preach anything.
ReplyDeleteYou are knowledgeable
DeleteAnon 16:49. True talk. Nigerians and their wahala.
ReplyDeleteDaddy this, daddy that for common scammers in the lord. Anyway, when hunger and poverty wire you, you fit call a goat daddy. Blame problems/poverty/hunger.
