A father is a male figure (Y chromosome) which provides protection, structure, moral values, blueprint, vision, and purpose in a family.

One that originates, constitutes or institutes the psychological state of confidence. 

A leader who passes on an inheritance to his children and community. <“Moses” is likened unto a spiritual father of Israel, the 12 apostles were the fathers of the church>.

The desire of wanting to be rewarded, appreciated & glorified is stimulated by a father in a family:

Through the image of a loving father (being the head or the brain of the family or house), this is where the true essence of reward, revelation, vision, purpose, structure, and order derives it’s nature from.

The reward of the family (children), and even the wife in a family springs from the father. 

The compliments, the encouragements, the support, the love, the example of moral values of a father, and including the intimate expression that the father shows to his wife, this becomes the image that the children wants to achieve or imitate.

Psychologically – on a psychological level;

the basal ganglia (dopamine) of the children which is located in the brain, begins to model one’s gratification and desire for reward according to the inner interests of their father, (a person starts to do things for the sake of pleasing his or her father on a conscious, subconscious and unconscious level). 

A good father figure has the ability to project God’s image, and also increase the love for God’s moral standards in the earth.

But the opposite is also true; Children with out fathers always end up seeking or pursuing after false rewards.

Scientific research has proven that most of the children who have been molested by pedophiles, neglected by their fathers, raised by single mothers will be drawn to immoral images and false rewards which are projected via violence, pornography, love of money, prostitution, immoral music stars, immoral celebrities, drugs, alcohol and the list goes on.
