Talking about a spiritual father is equivalent to talking about a spiritual covering, and neither of the two can occur if there is no parent-child relationship. Today the fact of being affiliated with a denomination, a ministry or an association of pastors is called coverage; but this does not imply that a person has spiritual coverage, since the children do not even know their spiritual father personally. How can they receive an inheritance that is not wanted to be given to them? How can you go after a spiritual father who is only after your money and is not willing to transfer an inheritance to you? In light of these hard truths, the question that then arises is: who is a spiritual father?

A spiritual father is one who invests his life, his gifts, abilities and resources in men and women who want to fulfill God's will in their lives; He rescues them, heals them, gives them a name, value, meaning, receives them into his home, adopts them as his children and, finally, teaches and trains them so that they reach their destiny and purpose in God.
