Who is your mentor?

“Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone. Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:” Exodus 18:18-19
A mentor is a teacher, a guide and a counsellor. He has the information you need to achieve your goals and fulfill your destiny. Mentoring can be by physical contact or by proxy. By proxy includes books, audio and video tapes etc. Whatever you do if you have the right mentor, and you really listen and obey, you will succeed.
Moses was struggling to lead the three million people God committed into his hands but Jethro took the position of a mentor in his life. He got a solution to lead the people without wearing away both himself and his people. Now listen to this, Moses had seen God face to face and had also heard Him but yet God used a man to mentor him. Don’t be too spiritual or anointed, and reject a divinely ordained mentor. The other thing is this, some people have achieved “success” in an ungodly and wicked way, if you make such your mentors whether physically or by proxy, they will teach you to become ungodly and wicked. The bible says concerning Ahaziah in 2 chronicles 22:3, “He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother advised him to do wickedly.”
In this information age, no one has the reason to fail in anything be it career, business or ministry, if he is listening to the right person and he is acting on the instructions.
May you choose to listen to the right person, may God bring right men and women into your life, may your struggles be terminated in Jesus name.
Prayer for today: O God lead me to the right person, give me the spirit of discernment to know who You have sent into my life to take me into the promised land in Jesus name.
