The Unwavering Love of Kingdom Fathers: A Reflection of God's Heart
My father warned us from the time we were little that he would not be with us forever. He used to worry he would die at 47 like his own father and every year closer he was scared. Yet, in 2008 when he was 46 years old, he had a massive heart attack that required open heart surgery.
I was in the middle of Iraq and my unit just got hit by small arms fire while they were out of the wire. I was in the office and the chaos was crazy, my own squad leader and friends in their truck were hit with an IED and I thought they’d be gone.
My leader told me to go to the computer while it was all going on and I saw my mom say DAD HAD A HEART ATTACK. My leader told me to tell my mom to send Red Cross. The American Red Cross was able to get me from Iraq, my late marine brother from Japan and my Navy veteran sister from school and send us to see dad.
My hero was laying there and there was nothing I could do for him. I used my uniform to be able to sit in his room all night long hoping for a miracle.
It was his prayers, his discipline, his unwavering love that keep him here for 17 more years meeting our spouse, loving his 12 grandchildren, seeing my late brother right before he too passed. My father’s love is what is holding me together.
He used to say that he thought the world honored mothers more. Yet, I reminded him it wasn’t for the world to honor him but his children. Due to how he raised me, a daughter to be able to stand against everything I have because of his work, I am now able to continue his legacy.
The only reason I know of the Kingdom, King Jesus and what a Kingdom father is because I was blessed with the priviledge to have one. His unwavering love for us six, even my late brother who he wanted to donate his kidney to, and the love he had for my mother shows me that Kingdom Fatherhood is what America needs.
Kingdom Fathers, we are blessed to have you in our lives, your children will be great because of it.
A Kingdom Father is more than just a biological parent; he is a spiritual leader, a provider, and a protector, modeling unwavering love, grace, and patience just as God does for His children. In today’s world, where fathers are often overlooked or undervalued, Kingdom Fatherhood stands as a beacon of strength, faith, and steadfast love—impacting families, children, and communities in profound ways.
1. A Kingdom Father Loves Unconditionally
The love of a Kingdom Father is not based on perfection—it is rooted in grace and reflects the heart of God, who loves His children despite their flaws. This is unwavering love—love that corrects, forgives, and builds up, ensuring that every child feels secure, valued, and nurtured.
📖 Romans 8:38-39 – “For I am convinced that neither death nor life… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
✅ Application:
Fathers must love their families unconditionally, even in moments of failure or frustration.
True love is not just spoken—it is demonstrated through time, care, and sacrifice.
A Kingdom Father must be slow to anger and quick to forgive, mirroring God’s patience with us.
2. A Kingdom Father Extends Grace
Just as Christ extended grace to us, a Kingdom Father understands that grace must be central in his household. This means leading with kindness and wisdom rather than harshness or condemnation.
📖 Ephesians 2:8 – “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
✅ Application:
Fathers must correct with love rather than discipline with frustration.
Showing grace means being patient with children as they learn and grow.
A Kingdom Father does not hold grudges but instead guides his family toward reconciliation and healing.
3. A Kingdom Father Teaches with Patience
A Kingdom Father knows that his role as a teacher is lifelong. He raises up his children in wisdom, helping them understand the importance of faith, integrity, and obedience to God’s Word. Teaching requires patience—guiding without giving up, instructing with love, and leading by example.
📖 Proverbs 22:6 – “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”
✅ Application:
Fathers must embrace patience when teaching and guiding their children.
Teaching isn’t just about rules—it’s about wisdom, discernment, and preparation for life’s challenges.
Every Kingdom Father must be a student first, continually learning and growing in God’s Word so he can lead effectively.
4. A Kingdom Father Protects with Wisdom
Protection is more than physical safety—it is spiritual covering, emotional security, and guidance in righteousness. Fathers who lead with discernment, not reckless sacrifice, create strong, stable families that thrive under God’s protection.
📖 Psalm 82:3-4 – “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and oppressed.”
✅ Application:
Prioritize discernment over impulsiveness when protecting family and community.
A Kingdom Father is a safe place—his children should feel secure and protected in his presence.
Fathers must teach their sons how to lead with wisdom, ensuring generational protection rooted in faith.
5. A Kingdom Father Leaves a Legacy
A father’s love doesn’t end with his children—it creates a ripple effect that shapes future generations. Kingdom Fathers understand that their impact goes beyond their lifetime—and they strive to build a lasting legacy of faith, wisdom, and godly leadership.
📖 Psalm 112:1-2 – “Blessed is the man who fears the Lord… His children will be mighty in the land.”
✅ Application:
Fathers must live a life worthy of imitation—showing what it means to follow Christ.
Legacy isn’t just about wealth—it’s about spiritual inheritance, ensuring children walk in righteousness.
Kingdom Fathers mentor and disciple others, creating a lasting impact beyond their own families.
