And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also
A sign of a true leader is the ability to positively affect others with the same zeal or fire in him. For a teacher to be rated successful, he must be able to reproduce himself in others, meaning that his knowledge must not be in him alone. He must raise or mentor more people who can further teach others. As such, a leader who cannot train and develop other leaders capable of taking his place has failed.
Our Lord Jesus Christ was able to reproduce others who looked like him, also called Christians. In our daily Christian walk, we meet several people of different ages and circumstances. As a Christian and a born leader, let us allow ourselves to mentor someone to the knowledge of God. To successfully mentor another person, it calls for love, understanding, commitment, continuity and prayers.
In the place of ministry, is there a complete stand still whenever you’re not around, because there’s no one else who can do what you do? Then it’s time to commit to mentoring another to learn your skills. In your family and among your friends, is there anyone that has the fear of God as you do? Take at least one person, and mentor the person to growth in God. Follow up another Christian today.
Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to love another person enough to help them know you more and get closer to you. Jesus you are the best teacher, give me the skills and patience to draw others to you. I pray for your great name to be established in more and more lives in Jesus name.
Pray for someone today – Pray for Christians everywhere, that the hand of God will strengthen them to overcome the challenges of staying as Christians in this present world. Pray for yourself too.
God's love and mine...
