Title: You Need a Mentor
MEMORIZE:
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27 (NKJV)
BIBLE READING: MATTHEW 11:28-30 (NKJV)
[28]Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
[29] Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
[30]For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
MESSAGE:
A mentor is a wise and trusted counsellor or teacher who guides someone based on superior knowledge and experience. Young people need mentors in different areas of life so that they can scale roadblocks and eliminate children that when you have an excellent mentor, you can never miss the right path.
No experience is new, that is, whatever you do or experience has already been done or experienced by someone.
So, for you to achieve good results, you have to adopt similar strategies to those used by people that have been successful and improve on them to get better outcomes. A prominent scientist once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.”
Dear child, for you to succeed in any profession, you must learn from those who have gone ahead of you so that you can be better. However, don’t emulate wrong habits so that you will not suffer the consequences.
ACTION POINT
Pray that God should lead you to a godly mentor today.
HYMN 21 – I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS
- I want to be like Jesus,
So lowly and so meek;
For no one mark’d an angry word,
That ever heard Him speak, - I want to be like Jesus,
So frequently in prayer;
Alone upon the mountain top,
He met his Father there. - I want to be like Jesus,
I never, never find
That He, though persecuted was
To anyone unkind. - I want to be like Jesus,
Engaged in doing good;
So that of me it may be said
“He hath done what he could.” - I want to be like Jesus,
Who sweetly said to all,
“Let little children come to Me;”
I would obey the call. - But oh I’m not like Jesus,
As anyone may see;
O gentle Saviour, send Thy grace,
And make me like to Thee.
