IFFM LEADERSHIP HONORS THE FATHERS
“Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.’ Exodus 20:12
“Honour thy father and thy mother, as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Deuteronomy 5:16
The leadership of IFFM with DR TAVEAU D’ARCY LEADERSHIP MINISTRIES honors the FATHERS.
We honor the natural FATHER as well as the SPIRITUAL PIONEERING FOUNDER FATHERS of prior Christ following Bible teaching movements. (as it is upon THEIR shoulders which we each stand TODAY..and Bible equip /ministry lead TODAY)
DR TAVEAU D’ARCY honors her own dear senior pioneering pastor ,now departed, father: Senior Pastor M. Kimball Johnson, Jr. (see above picture)
And while IFFM doesn’t regard “spiritual fathering” in the religious modern ministry sense, we certainly AGREE with the SPIRIT OF THE FATHER residing in SOME mature leaders more than others…
AND WHILE IFFM Leadership fully yields to MATTHEW 23:9 “And do not call anyone on earth FATHER..” (which is in deep contrast to very MANY who now do, as it this is currently a very popular modern senior leadership grass roots apostolic TREND)…
IFFM DOES accept the fact that there are SOME God sent true mature spiritual leader persons, who DO have a like “anointing, imparting spiritual DNA” and even a shared kindred natural, spiritual ‘family feel’ TRUE SPIRIT.
THIS THEN is indeed AKIN to finding “the (nonlegalistic) SPIRIT OF ADOPTION in a ministry, mentor or human person “ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED” over all God SENT sense.
And this has been the case with the IFFM founding pioneering minister, TAVEAU, and the accepting, encouraging and imparting, always supremely joyful, deeply wise and pure hearted insightful, the very faithful and BLESSED Reverend John Chappell.
SO TODAY IFFM honors, deeply appreciates and maturely respects Brother John Chappell who, for more than 20 pioneering ministry long, abiding years, was ” truly there” (along with faithful wife Pattie) during IFFM Ministry founder’s greatest longsuffering, highly eventful years.
Again BLESSINGS!
IFFM HONORS all single FATHERS today, who must serve as both father, nurturing mother as well as breadwinner, decision maker.
IFFM HONORS all single MOTHERS, who must serve as both head of one parent home, and who are forced to act as BOTH “father and mother” in the Lord AND in the natural over all sense: forced to stand in the office of the only breadwinner and having double, triple the ongoing responsibility and over all work load.
IFFM also includes and HONORS the married as well as single GRAND FATHERS and GRAND MOTHERS who now parent their children’s children, who also do similar.
And for each apostolic pioneering 5 fold office (akin to a spiritual/model of even a natural) PARENT, we BLESS and HONOR YOU today as well.
SO BLESSINGS and sending to each a HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
WE CLOSE WITH PSALM 112 and agree with it in our prayers for all of YOU
“Praise ye the Lord. BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT FEARS THE LORD that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.”
