MENTORSHIP WITHOUT MANTLESHIP

-
Who is your mentor? Who do you look up to? What level of mantleship do you crave for? Is it possible to long for sonship tie from a different breed i.e. a dog roaring like a lion? Of what appropriate  guidance  can a footballer mentor be to a wrestler? Are you an accountant and your mentor is a surgeon? To be in this category is to have a mentor without a mantleship.

Our youths presently engage in a path that the obvious outcome would be ineffective and unproductive. No doubt, some of us have mentors, we go as far as follow our mentor hook, line and sinker yet we notice that what has produced for them cannot produce for  us. This happens not because  there can't be a replication in us but because we chose the wrong mentors, we chase after those not heading to our own desired destination and once the foundation is faulty, alot of things will certainly not just be right. This is exactly where Gehazi missed it. Rather than crave for Elisha's mantleship, he had a different focus not in tune with his mentor. At the end, the conflict of interest led to his leprosy. To compare it with the relationship between Elijah and Elisha, we get;
"At the end, this was said of their relationship 'the spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha...'' 2 kings 2:15b 

We call them mentors not just because they have teachable/ impartible spirit but because they run with a mantle we need for our accomplishment and in following them, we carry out the duplication and multiplication function.

Always remember that good company make good product. Your mentor must rub off on you. It is only those in pursuit of your like mind purpose, dream and vision can add value to you. It's not too late to make the right choice. Get a mentor today. Don't be afraid to say yes to JESUS. Don't look out to money rather crave for sonship.

Stop taking care. Start taking charge.

The Fight between Chelsea and Manchester United

It's no news that football or soccer is a universally accepted game that brings people irrespective of their ethnicity together. The passion football lovers exhibit at the sight of the game tell me that, whenever passion is present, anything is possible. Back in my university days, my younger sister who loved football(still does till date) could sacrifice her last penny to go watch football. She is a strong Man Utd fan. Many times, she came back really exited about the outcome, other times so sad that everybody around could just tell that something was wrong. That is passion! There were times when she went as far as watching it on credit, with the intention to pay later. She may even look for who will pay for her. Her love for it was so strong that it got to a point where they allowed her watch for free. The owners of the view center had never seen a girl with so much love and passion for football like her. Chelsea and Manchester Utd are two club that I know have this

LOYALTY TO YOUR SPOUSE

-
I once read an article that talked about loyalty. So many know what it is but only a few practice it. The hierarchy in marriage is                   God                      ||                 Husband                       ||                     Wife                       ||                  Parents                      ||                  Spiritual Leaders                       ||                   Office boss                       ||                     Others       Note that Loyalty is equal to submission in marriage and its in ALL things.    Note also that the surest way to a man's heart is no more food but loyalty and total submission.             But so many misconstrue this. God placed hierarchy in every sphere of life for the sake of order. Chaos dwells where there is no order. Now someone may ask, how do I balance loyalty to my parents and to my spouse? In my opinion, I still maintain that your spouse has the upper hand. I'm an advocate of respect a

Why teens fall prey to sexual acts

Why teens fall prey to sexual acts This topic is termed very sensitive because it has do to with sex education. A lot of people especially our parents tend to shy away from it. Nevertheless, its importance in our day and can't be over emphasised as we see that most teens fall into error in this regard. Sex is sacred and its exclusively for the married. When anyone engage in it outside the context of marriage is an abominable act. Illicit sex is so prominent in this generation so much so that feelings and appearances lead most people into the act. Yes!its called an act simple because it involves two people performing it. Now,our teens fall prey most times as a result of many factors. It could be as a result of gullibility, lack of self control, inadequate sex education, peer pressure, competition or complex issues etc Whenever this topic poops up, its always easy for most people to point accusing fingers on teens forgetting that they were born into homes. Unlike most people
