Jesus was the perfect mentor. He told His disciples, \u2018He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also.\u2019<\/i> 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: <\/p>\n
(1) I am willing to spend the time it takes to build a close relationship with the learner; <\/p>\n
(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; <\/p>\n
(3) I am willing to be vulnerable and transparent before the learner, I\u2019m willing to share not only my strengths and successes, but also my weaknesses, failures, brokenness, and sins;<\/p>\n
(4) I am willing to be honest yet affirming in confronting the learner to re-examine their unproductive habits, the learner\u2019s errors, faults, and areas of immaturity; <\/p>\n
(5) I am committed to standing by the learner through trials of any kind; <\/p>\n
(6) I am committed to helping the learner set goals for his or her spiritual life, career, or ministry, and to help the learner activate his or her dream; <\/p>\n
(7) I am willing to objectively evaluate the learner\u2019s progress toward his or her goal; <\/p>\n
(8) Above all, I am committed to faithfully living out everything I teach. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
