I LOVE APOSTLE FEMI LAZARUS FOR THIS:

I LOVE BISHOP BIMBO ANIMASHAUN MORE FOR THIS ALSO:

THIS IS HOW TO KNOW YOU ARE THE SPIRITUAL FATHER OF THAT BIG AND POPULAR SON:

HE IS NOT ASHAMED TO CALL YOU MY SPIRITUAL FATHER OPENLY:

YOU DONT DO THE TALKING ON BEHALF OF THAT YOUR BIG SON:

I am aware that His Lordship Bishop Bimbo Animashaun is the Spiritual father of Apostle Femi Lazarus. But I have never heard Bishop Bimbo lay claim to that position. He doesn't go about saying everywhere I raised him, he was under me at a time. I can tell you his life history. He never did any of that.

You will never hear it from his mouth. On his birthday yesterday, Apostle Femi Lazarus on his official page openly referred to him as His Spiritual father. In his words, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SPIRITUAL FATHER. That settles every confusion on who is the father of that popular man of God?
I love him for that. But much more I love Bishop Bimbo Animashaun for not announcing it everywhere. Even though it will be a thing of joy for people to know that he is the father of that fast rising Apostle.

MY POINT IS THIS:

JUST FOUR OF THEM:

1. If you are a son who is doing well in ministry, and rising very fast, most fathers will want to lay claim to you, some will want to possess you by all means. Some want to reap where they did not sow. You are the one to put the record straight. Otherwise, you will become the son of every big father in town. Only a desperate father will want to struggle Apostle Femi Lazarus with Bishop Bimbo Animashaun. Never allow your fruit to make you forget your root.

2. Wait for sons to call you their father, before you rush and disgrace yourself on social media. Nothing is as bad as calling a man your son, only for the man to be telling people, you are not his father, he only loves and honours you. Respect yourself please.

3. Don't be desperate to be called a spiritual father, it is a very big responsibility. Do you understand fatherhood? can you father a child, until he becomes a son, and survive with him every shame and stress the child will bring to you in the process of Growing? You are looking for perfect sons, they don't exist anywhere. Sons are to cover the nakedness of their fathers, but fathers must also identify with the nakedness of their sons. It is not only fathers that have nakedness. Sons also have nakedness.

4. It is easy to father a son you are bigger than, anybody can do that. Real fatherhood is to raise sons who become bigger than you, and you are not afraid of their lifting. You still stand with them and father them to become even bigger than you. If your biological sons are greater than you, you don't have a problem with that, but your spiritual sons must not be greater than you, that is where you have a problem. Biblically, that mindset is completely wrong. The glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former.
Fathers, please allow your sons to rise, Even if it means rising above you.
It doesn't change anything.

My friend and Brother, Bishop Bimbo Animashaun is a big success in life and ministry. Who is raising sons without placing any restrictions and limitations on them.

I love Apostle Femi Lazarus for his open identification, but I love Bishop Bimbo Animashaun more for not first laying claim on that son on social media.

Look at the humility of His Lordship, he still used the phrase sir, to refer to his son, who is also younger in age to him. Not all Bishops are proud, some of us became more humble with the office.

That is how to know the difference between the real Bishops from the APC Bishops.

Be blessed.
