It was wonderful to spend this last week with my father Dr S.Y. Govender and my brothers at the Open Heaven Conference in Durban. When you spend much of your time in other nations, it is always great to come back home to a family. This has always been the desire of God…a family..a people belonging to Him. As much as God has ownership over His sons, we require those who carry a “fathering” grace to watch over us, to mentor us and lead us to find our place in Christ.
I shared this scripture with the brothers:
Psalms 61:2
2 From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
What David cried out for was leadership that would help him on his journey towards the Rock..Christ Jesus! We cannot stumble into this place…we require leadership…both the leadership of the Holy Spirit as well as spiritual fathers who are learned and are blessed with the wisdom of God to unravel the mysteries of God that are hidden in the scriptures.
The Lord has blessed me in planting me in a family that is able to illuminate my pathways as I would lead my household on this epic journey to the Rock that is higher than I!
