Title: How to Get a Mentor
MEMORIZE: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6 (NKJV)
BIBLE READING 1 PETER 5:5 (NKJV)
[5]Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for “God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
MESSAGE:
There is something in the life of a Christian that makes him/her crave intimacy with Christ. We can pursue God on our own, but He created us for relationships, and He can choose to use an elderly believer to guide a younger believer in the process of growth.
As a young Christian, I realized early enough that I couldn’t grow without the tutelage of mentors, so I employed the following ways to find them:
1. Seek a relationship: It is very rare to find a serious spiritual mentor who is not also working on his/her growth. So, rather than expect him/her to search for you, you should be the one seeking to get closer. When my father-in-the-Lord was alive, I was always around him to get all the knowledge, impartation, discipline, anointing, et cetera, needed to run the race.
2. Seek resources: The knowledge of a man can be transferred to his/her readers or listeners through their books/sermons. Therefore, you must be very selective in your choice of mentors and the content you are interacting with. Many ministers of God have mentored me through their books, sermons, podcasts, and YouTube messages. You can be mentored likewise.
PRAYER POINT
Father, please lead me to those who will strengthen my walk with you.
HYMN 16 – BREATHE ON ME
1. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love the way you love,
And do what you would do.
2. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until my will is one with yours,
To do and to endure.
3. Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with you the perfect life
For all eternity.
