Title: Watch Before You Submit
MEMORIZE: Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1
BIBLE READING HEBREWS 6:12
[12]That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
MESSAGE:
Mentorship is the act of leading, teaching, and tutoring a less knowledgeable person in a field to upgrade them to a higher level of knowledge, skill and expertise. I tell young people that it’s good to be mentored by someone older in the faith, provided the person is truly following the Lord.
There’s an anointing that flows from a mentor to a mentee. So, if you bring yourself under the anointing of a sinful mentor, his lifestyle will soon become your reality. This explains why some teenagers have become sex tools, fraudsters, and degenerated souls right under their mentors.
Today, some mentors are not yet broken by the Lord; they conferred the title on themselves because they are seeking respect at all costs. If you’re not careful and you go under their mentorship, you may become prey in their hands.
Therefore, study to know if their lifestyle is patterned after the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to screen anyone who Comes your way before you submit to his/her mentoring.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please lead me to godly mentors
HYMN 18 – WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1. When we walk with the Lord,
In the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
CHORUS
Trust and obey!
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.
2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey
4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey.
5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.
