* Any attack on your growth is an attack on your manifestation
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”

- True mark of followership is the deposit of pouring of the ideology of the father i.e Peter followed so powerfully that even his walking style was like of Jesus.
* Children always fight to leave the father, home is a cell, and they need to be forced to live by father's rules (i.e prodigal son) but Sons desire to go back home and live with the father after the assignment is done.
- Sons have a home in heaven they don't die they transit to home. What makes a place a home is a father.

- Children are a burden to the father but sons take the burden of the father and the kingdom
