Topic: Minding Our Mentors – Higher Every Day by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi [Saturday, October 7, 2017].
KEY VERSE: “Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him” (Esther 2:20).
A mentor is a trusted counsellor or guide who tutors and/or provides help and advice to a younger or less experienced person. Mordecai picked up his uncle’s daughter, Esther as an orphan and mentored her to maturity and royal majesty. Even after she attained the status of a queen by divine intervention, Esther still honoured her mentor, Mordecai.
Many young people are quick to forsake their spiritual mentors and ignore their wise counsels as soon as they think that they have arrived’ in one sense or the other. Such youths might end up like Rehobo am (I Kings 12:1-16). However, Esther continued to be faithful to Mordecai after she had become a Queen. Other examples include Joshua who was mentored by Moses, and Elisha, the mentee of Elijah. Your mentor may be your teacher, trainer, pastor, or youth leader. Follow their good instructions and example. Promotion awaits those who learn well under their mentors.
Challenge: Learn from others’ experiences instead of personal blunders.
Prayer: Lord, give me good mentors and the discipline to learn.
Quote: Follow their good instructions and example
