What is important in this principle is what we imitate and the qualities of those we are moved to imitate. Most assuredly, God wants us to imitate Him. He wants us to keep His commandments, which are a basic description of the way He would live were He a man. When Jesus became a man, He never sinned even once! In John 5:19-20, He says:

Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

The apostle Paul confirms this principle in I Corinthians 4:16, where he strongly states, "Therefore I urge you, imitate me." In I Corinthians 11:1, he repeats, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ." Finally, in Philippians 3:17, he writes, "Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern." In addition to Paul, Peter teaches us in I Peter 2:21 that Jesus set "us an example, that [we] should follow His steps." Imitation and conformity is a fact of life.

Anybody can call his or her father in the Lord any name they wish to but I for one know that I have just one Father in heaven and one on earth. All the others who brought me up spiritually are simply pastors to me. I do this because I dont want to idolise any human in my heart.

  PAPA or no PAPA its a show of respect for the man of God. Just as we say papa to the bread winner and head of the family, we call our spiritual heads papa also
