One reason why Islam is one of the fastest growing religions of our day and also a reason why there has been a DECLINE in the advancement of Christianity is...... FATHERS!
Islam is led by the men. They are the ones allowed to lead and to attend mosque sessions. They are in charge of discipling and leading their households in the faith. They are so serious about it that a woman will have to convert if they want to marry a Muslim properly.
Sadly, it has been the opposite among Christians. In many Christian homes, fathers are lagging behind when it comes to matters spiritual. Many do not even know how to bless the food. They say "Wacha mama nani aombe".
Matters of faith are in the back banner of their priorities with mums struggling to cover up and also to be priest in the home.

It is an unspoken fact that in the family setting, daddy only gets involved in the most important things.
Even when it comes to spanking, mum can spank and correct but the big cases will go to daddy. So when a dad is listless about spiritual things, they have communicated to the children that faith is not important. It is "umama'.
And when the children see, in the same daddy, triple passion for soccer, tribe and politics, they communicate to the children that these are the most important aspects of life.
What kind of Church would we have if all fathers raised kids in the faith like you are raising yours?
This serious commitment to disciple one's own household, is actually the main reason why God chose and blessed Abraham to be the Father of Faith. It is a precious trait to God and a rare trait today.
Men, may you be that kind of father to your children and single ladies, may you marry that kind of father for your children.
