Find a Mentor. Become a Mentor.
February 25, 2014
‘…The works that I do [you] will do also…’ John 14:12 NKJV
Jesus was the perfect mentor. He told His disciples, ‘The works that I do [you] will do also.’ If you want to reach the fullness of your God–given potential, ask God for the right mentors. You will always go further with a good mentor coaching and pushing you. Some mentors are given for a short season, others for a lifetime, so you must know the difference.
How do you recognise a mentor? In eight ways. The credo of the true mentor is this: (1) I am willing to spend the time it takes to build a close relationship with the learner; (2) I commit myself to believing in the potential of the learner, to telling them the exciting future I see ahead for him or her; to visualising and verbalising the possibilities for their life; (3) I am willing to be vulnerable and transparent before the learner, I’m willing to share not only my strengths and successes, but also my weaknesses, failures, brokenness and sins; (4) I am willing to be honest yet affirming in confronting the learner’s errors, faults and areas of immaturity; (5) I am committed to standing by the learner through trials—even trials that are self–inflicted as a result of ignorance or error; (6) I am committed to helping the learner set goals for his or her spiritual life, career or ministry and to helping the learner dream his or her dream; (7) I am willing to objectively evaluate the learner’s progress toward his or her goal; (8) Above all, I am committed to faithfully living out everything I teach.
