Starting Your Mentorship Journey

By
Every divine journey begins with guidance. No one fulfills purpose alone. God’s pattern has always been to raise men through men. Even though Moses heard God directly, Joshua still needed his mentorship before leading Israel. A mentor doesn’t replace God’s voice; they help you recognize and mature in it. Proverbs 11:14 reminds us, “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” Mentorship is God’s system of preservation.

Before you seek a mentor, define what you’re becoming. Many people are eager to be guided but unclear about their direction. When you know your calling, passion, or season of growth, you can identify who carries the wisdom you need. Elisha didn’t follow every prophet—he followed Elijah because his destiny was tied to his mantle. Clarity attracts the right mentorship (Habakkuk 2:2).

The right mentor will not pamper your weakness but strengthen your faith. Mentorship is not a comfort zone; it is a refining process. Expect correction, discipline, and redirection. Hebrews 12:11 says, “No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness.” Submission to mentorship is not slavery—it’s a seed of humility that produces maturity.

Following a mentor requires both discernment and obedience. Many fail because they listen halfway. Ruth followed Naomi not for fame but for divine alignment, and her loyalty positioned her for destiny (Ruth 1:16–17). Mentorship demands consistency, gratitude, and service. You cannot receive what you constantly resist.

Finally, mentorship is not forever tied to proximity—it’s tied to posture. You can learn from afar if your heart is rightly positioned. Books, teachings, and examples can mentor you as much as personal contact. The key is to remain teachable and prayerful. Isaiah 30:21 assures, “And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it.” True mentorship keeps you walking in God’s way until you become who He designed you to be.

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...
