Day 18
MENTORING AND BEING MENTORED
Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so
as ye have us for an ensample.
Philippians 3:17
Mentoring is the opportunity
of holding your torch out for others to see the way. When you shine your light for others, you don’t remain in darkness. Mentoring is pouring yourself out through service,
counselling, fellowship and such alike into the lives of the brethren.
I have been
privileged to have some great Christian women mentored me as a young person. I am
privileged to have them in my life. Eunice Adetiba, Bernadine Anyanwu and Maureen
Mbam , are women who gave their good counsel and prayers in my life.
The aged women likewise, that they
be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to
much wine, teachers of good things; That
they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love
their children
Titus 2:3-4
There are many
teachers but few Fathers. Fathers have scars; they have wealth of experience in
Christian faith, marriage, careers business, and relationships. And this is where mentoring comes in.
4 Reasons To Have a Godly Mentor
1. They guide you through the word of God. Aquila and Priscilla were a
godly couple who took Apollos under their wings and corrected him in love (Acts 18:24-26).
2. They live
godly lives that you can emulate
Remember them which have the rule over
you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering
the end of their conversation.
Hebrews 13:7
3. They speak life into your life. Great ideas may just end up in
your thoughts. You need godly wisdom to
execute your plans.
The labour of the foolish wearieth
every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
Ecclesiastes 10:15
4. They pray for you. Apostle Paul on several occasions
prayed for the people who looked up to him in ministry.
4 Reasons To Mentor Others
1. You strengthen others in faith. New believers and
other brethren often need counsel and ask questions. Being available to help
their faith walk is a privilege.
2. It improves
your Christian walk.
3. You learn from your mentees. Through their
experiences you gain knowledge
4. It builds your prayer life. It is an
opportunity to pray for those who look up you.
