Although God is our Source, He has chosen to use men and women to impart His goodness to us. They are never the owners of His power and blessing, just stewards, and we must never idolize the man above the Master. Yet, the impartation we can receive from a man or woman of God will so enhance our spiritual experience and gives us a keen edge on our cutting tool that it is important for each of us to expect and embrace divine appointments with spiritual fathers and mothers.
The impartation we receive from such men and women is never without purpose. What God imparts to us through them is intended to be imparted through us to others. Thus, those who have been properly fathered can then become a father to others.
