CHOOSE THE RIGHT MENTOR(S)

-

Young man, you will have a lot of decisions to make in life. These decisions will either make or mar you. You will feel as most youth does, that you can take them by yourself. Well, it will get to certain time in your life that you will be expected to do so though. But you see, growing up, don't take decisions without consulting your mentor. Your mentor is some one who is ahead of you and knows the terrain you are traveling in. They may be more than one in your life but if God help you to have SEVERAL-IN-ONE kind of a mentor, you will be glad. If not, chose them in various aspect of life under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. You will need their counsels. You will need their shoulders. You will need their comforts. You will need their encouragement. You will need their experience. You will need their truth (where they failed or succeeded without hiding anything). Your path may not exactly be like theirs but they definitely have done some similar things. Who your mentors are can also help us understand what you are BECOMING. If you have a man or woman who loves the lord, serve him, have a beautiful home and is excellent on your career path, you have several-in-one kind of a mentor. You will learn God, you will learn family growth in God's way and you will learn how to excel more in your career. Such men are devoid of envy for you. They are men who celebrates every of your wins. They rejoice at your breaking forth. Young man, I have been privileged to have several-in-one kind of a mentor. I have other mentors in other areas whom God has permitted me to pick lessons from. But I have one who has become a Father. All the packages I discussed earlier is found in him and his wife. A guide,  support system,  teacher, tutor and leader whose life is admirable as individual, as a family man and a career giant. Young man, you need such mentor. They won't counsel you against God. They won't counsel you to rush. They will be there to support you in all your making process. You need to pray for such. Mind you, young man, your  parents, your pastor or whosoever have not been underestimated. However, you need such guide and cover to become who you are becoming. You will go fast and far in purpose fulfilment and you will finish strong. Moses was a great mentor to Joshua and Elisha had an excellent one in Elijah. Don't run this phase of your life alone. The reality is that you may go fast if you do it alone, but you may not go far. Your goal is to go far and fulfil purpose.

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol

FRIENDS

-
The circle of people around you has a huge influence on who you are becoming. Remember, we have discussed that you are becoming what you will become.  No one became anything suddenly. It's a process. While you are becoming what you will become, you need to know that the friends you keep will have a large influence on you. Let me tell you the bitter truth. You cannot be friends with everyone. An attempt to try it will be the beginning of you becoming a deformed you. It is foolishness to want everyone in your camp and be in the "good" book of everyone. You must learn to select your friends. Even if they select you, you must also check your parameters of judgment to bring such people close. Meanwhile, some people may be colleagues at work and their position must not be more. Some may be mere acquaintances, an attempt to make them more than that will be catastrophic for your dream and goals in life. You dare not discuss details of your life with such. A friend is indeed a dee

TRUST GOD EVEN IF IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE

-
Young man, I am glad to pen some issues on your current challenges to you today. You may be currently in the worst state you could ever be. Let me tell you not to shift your attention away from God. Stay with him. Learn to trust God in all you do. Hold firmly to the truth of his word that he never fails. Even when it does not make sense, trust him harder. Even when it does not match your physical senses and the road seems blocked, trust him better. Trust God if it is senseless. Trust God if it's locked and it can't be opened by men. Trust God is it's dead and no hope of life. Trust God if it's broken and can't be fixed by men. Trust God when all road seems to be locked down. Trust God when the doctors says it can't be fixed medically. Trust God when no man is there to lift you. Trust God when you are in the afternoon or evening of your life here and you look like an under achiever. God is never going to be late on your case. He is never going to fail you. He is
