Precious Stones FATHERS DAY EDITION
THE REPRAIRER OF THE BREACH
This Father’s Day is an unusual one and could become a most memorable one to date. Because this Father’s Day is the one that fathers should be given over and above the well-deserved recognition for those who merit the praiseworthy deeds of good character and support of their families. Many of them aren’t expecting anything, some even forget about it, not because it’s not

important, but they considered it their reasonable service and love their families, but the acknowledgment should be done. Especially in light of the fact that so many fathers deserve absolutely nothing, just sperm donators and often the only credit to their existence is a beautiful little creation that looks just like them. Since that is the perception of them, this paper and ink won’t be wasted on them, that’s not being judgmental of them, it is only where evidence has been proven it true, but “if the crack pipe fits smoke it.” I used to notice when I was pastoring, that on Mother’s Day we gave all these gifts and flowers, they wore the most beautiful hats you’ve ever seen. Special recognition was given for extraordinary service, the aged sometimes were given plaques for their participation in certain church events. I even featured some of them on my television broadcast it was a very anticipated festive occasion, an air of appreciation and happiness filled the place while I always did an accompanying message.
Fathers would fix dinner that day or take the family to dinner, I don’t cook so it was a restaurant and long lines that reached to Christmas. But Father’s Day nobody said nothing, because it was left to the women to orchestrate and nobody never came to me about doing anything. I had to suggest somebody do something one year that started the ball rolling, it was okay, nothing to write home about and certainly wasn’t going to win any prizes. I am sure they were very grateful (smile). I did my usual Father’s Day message and dug as deep as I could at trying to pulling out every hero, champion and warrior I could to establish the struggles of a black father. Because he was not an ordinary father, his struggles were different, his competition was greater, his work was always harder.

Our ability to be so expressive in loving was original product of our created purpose to be directed towards God and to teach the world to do so. The prophetic is more about leading the world back to God in the loving manner that is our nature, the love the world is talking about is a matter of the head, not the heart, that’s why they can “love” across forbidden boundaries and constantly redefine it.

AN EXPERIENCE IN INTIMACY
When King David was old and he learned from the Lord that he wouldn’t be allowed to build the House of The Lord as it was in his heart to do. He had prepared the materials to accomplish the work and gather the workers according to their skills, but he commission his son Solomon to build the Lord a house ( I Chron.22:8). God spoke to David before Solomon was born that he’d have a son and what was to be his name and Solomon loved the Lord. He followed the Lord as his father David had followed the Lord, it was not that David didn’t make mistakes, he made many of them, some drastic and deadly. But in as earnest as he was in seeking and following the Lord, he sought forgiveness in his error with the same fervency with all his heart.
As a father David loved all chil-
dren as God had loved him, this same spirit was passed on to Solomon his son. He learned that God was the source of strength and victories, the wisdom of his kingdom, inspiration of his praises and the reason for his meditation. He wrote many songs about the intimacy of that relationship, from where we get the Psalms of scripture. David and his kingdom was a foreshadowing of Christ to come as King and His kingdom, so God had to guide David in order to properly picture Christ. Therefore if Christ would be the epitome of a Son and father relationship with God as His father and David foreshadowed that depiction, characteristically he had to be suitable.

Joshua, David and Solomon would have been portrayed as WHITE, which is difficult for black men to perceive as meant for them.
Yet it is taboo to speak in terms of “color” or reference black people in the resolution of a plan or even what God has to say about a remedy for black people. Immediately, we will hear don’t you mean “ALL PEOPLE,” respectfully, NO I DON’T! While this is the word of our God and He meant it for all people, the focus here is BLACK, IT IS MEANT TO CAPTURE THE ATTENTION OF BLACK MEN AND THEIR SONS, HOPEFULLY BEFORE SOMEBODY KILL THEM OR A PRISON DOOR IS SLAM SHUT UNTIL THE 12TH OF NEVER. I hope anyone can benefit from this word and they can, but my target is black men, if you don’t aim at something you will certainly hit nothing. In so many instances God is being blamed for our trouble and that certainly isn’t true, so it is just as much justification and vindication of God. What good does it do for me to know the truth of these situations and my brother not knowing dying in the street or portrayed as an animal. How many black men have heard that Ham was cursed by God and that’s why he is black, ALL OF WHICH ARE LIES, but how many know or have even heard a scintilla of what I have taken this lengthy time to express. I didn’t bother to go into the black lineage of David and Solomon or the Kings, Queens, Prince, Priest and prophets that were black in the bible. Because this isn’t about color, that argument is older than I am, but the spiritual intercourse is something not too many people understand or will risk the investment of time and money. Ham mocked the image of God, in God personalizing Himself to the people of the earth, God was casting Himself as Father to the inhabitants of the earth. This was of great importance and distinguished Him from the whole idea of a “god,” the relationship took on a personal air of distinction and respect. Noah represented this and His portrayal, so it was God in the final analysis that Ham disrespected as well as the intimacy of the portrayal. Ham’s nature didn’t change due to the incident, the breach just brought an interruption between Ham and his father, breaking the influence of God upon his nature. The breach brought other problems, because it was Noah that named him and would take his father to teach him what his name meant, which was a suffix of the name of God Elohim or Elo-Ham since the “I” was interchangeable with “A.”
Just as God told David the name of his son
Solomon and what he would do and God’s purpose for him, Noah would have to teach Ham who he was, but he brought shame upon all this. So he lived out his whole existence without the influence of God upon his nature, yielded therefore to influence of
satanic purpose. By the third generation into full blown witchcraft and the occult in Nimrod, a breach between the father was to wreak havoc upon the whole lineage. It is the knowledge of what God’s original intent and assigning ourselves to that, that makes it possible to recapture the original covenant. If black fathers knowing that today would make a return to God and our families, we could recover the purpose of the covenant and turn around what no other proposal for black people has been able to accomplish. Please take note of all the problems throughout black lineage was upon the family, fathers missing, incarcerated, killed mostly by other black men, sons following in their footsteps, women abandoned, un-partnered, unmarried, daughters pregnant. Everything that a father would have prevented, the very spirit that disrespected his father (Ham and Noah) is the same spirit, unchecked running rampant throughout the black lineage. That is not white people’s fault, the system or the world, though it is not design for us to make it. A father could have stop everything before it ever got to white people, we can love, be hungry, bleed or die together, we didn’t solve one thing by running out, we only rearranged the chairs on the Titanic. This Father’s Day could mark a most memorable occasion on the calendar of black history, by securing the help of God in winning other black men to the greatest use of our time. Since black men were meant to affect the world to that degree, satanic stumbling-blocks is be expected. But the only position from which opposition can fight is the normal “color issue” what would happen if we “turn on the light.” Then the world can see what was done in the dark, just by turning on the light. It is understanding who we are that is our greatest strength, then understanding how it functions. This is key to activating the supernatural, because we will have embraced the will purpose of God and every promise He has made is then effectively unleashed in our behalf. It is to fathers, the foundation of family, that is the “REPAIRER OF THE BREACH, THE RESTORER OF PATHS TO DWELL IN, IT IS HE THAT SHALL BUILD THE OLD WASTE PLACES AND RAISE UP THE FOUNDATION OF MANY GENERATIONS,” (Isa.58:12).
