From Follower to Builder as a Mentor

Image
By
The goal of mentorship is not to remain a follower forever but to grow into a builder who can also raise others. Every mentee must develop the right heart posture to transition well. Philippians 2:5 says, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” The right attitude attracts wisdom and sustains favor in mentorship.

A good mentee serves with joy, not with hidden competition. True service refines your spirit and prepares you for leadership. Joshua served Moses faithfully before leading Israel. Exodus 33:11 records that “Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.” Service teaches patience, timing, and faithfulness in little things before greater assignments come.

The right attitude also embraces correction with gratitude. Mentorship exposes weaknesses not to shame you but to shape you. Proverbs 12:1 puts it clearly: “Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.” Every correction is a seed of wisdom that prepares you for lasting impact.

As a mentee, never rush out of process. Many abort growth because they crave recognition before transformation. Stay long enough to be molded. Elisha stayed with Elijah through all transitions before receiving the double portion (2 Kings 2:9–10). Timing in mentorship is as important as calling. Rushing out early births immaturity.

Finally, the right attitude remembers to give back. When you grow, reproduce the same grace in others. 2 Timothy 2:2 instructs, “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men.” A true mentee becomes a builder—multiplying what was poured into them. Growth is never complete until it produces others.

individual Differences in Mentoring.

By
As a mentor, it is very important your pay attention to individual differences among humans. You can't generalize everything and expect to have impact. One of the keys of becoming a healthy mentor is to pay attention to individual differences in people. Using animals as examples, what a lion appreciate is different from what a monkey will appreciate. So are humans, our individual temperament determines the way we perceive things. We have four different human temperaments wired in every human blood. Make your research, learnt and understand the right approach for each of your mentee. Comparing one person to another will fight your mentee instead of helping them. Each of your mentee is unique in their individual capacity. The capacity of learning among them is different. Some are low learners and some are fast learner while some don't even need supervision. They can engage in self learning. So, relate with each of your mentee according to their capacity. Don't generalize your...

Play Your Part

By
I need you to give attention to this. Every ministry has a pattern and specifications. Your specification and pattern will be determined by the clarity of the vision or assignment God has given you. No body own a vision, it's the vision that owns you and dictate what you ought to do and not to do. Daily seek to understand the pattern God has designed for his work in your hand. Ministry is not about success or achievement. Ministry is about accurate obedience to Gods instruction at the right time. Your bible study and prayer points ought to be dictated by the clarity of the vision God has given you. This is and will be in future the basic for your personal relationship with the Lord. I mean, a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit. Never you value the people more than the vision. The vision is to the people, for the people and must stay with the people. What God has given you is bigger than you So play your part well as you prepare to hand over to the successor the Lord...
