Mentoring

Exerpt from my book, Living Unleashed. 

Acts 1:1-11.

Mentoring.  Jesus says that we will be his witnesses to the ends of the earth.  As with service, carrying the message of Jesus and his kingdom to the world is an integral part of being a Jesus-follower.
The most effective way of introducing others to Jesus and fanning into flame a passion for God within them is through relationships.  We mentor them by being involved in their lives and inviting them to be involved in ours.

Our mentoring goes beyond mere words.  It is most effective when our lives demonstrate the passion for God that we profess.  It does not mean that we have everything perfect, but our lives are moving forward to better reflect our passion for God and the attributes of his kingdom.

Mentoring is also intentional.  Usually, it doesn’t just happen.  We want to carry the message of Jesus to the world.  We want our lives to reflect his kingdom.  Therefore, we strive to establish relationships where these things can happen.

Once we stir up a passion for God in someone, we do not leave them.  We guide them through the same path of the Prism Principle so that they too can become mentors to others.

Do you already have relationships where you are intentionally sharing your passion for God?  If not, do you have present relationships where you could begin to share your passion for God?  Who are they?

Keep on Living Unleashed!
