The Power of Mentorship: Role Models or Mentors

By Michael Hutton-Wood

MENTORSHIP IS A LAW YOU MUST OBEY NOT A SUGGESTION OR ADVICE YOU MUST DEBATE OR REJECT
In LIFE AND IN EVERY FIELD, YOU ARE EITHER CRAWLING, WALKING, RUNNING, OR FLYING. We crawl by ignorance, we walk by common sense, we run by principles but we fly by instructions.
Mentorship is a law.
What you learn from mentors will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck. Proverbs 24:13-14, “My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off.”

Mentorship is a fundamental law in the school of leadership, success, and achievers. Just like no sports star emerges a star without a coach, no one emerges an achiever without a credible authentic seasoned coach or mentor.
This Same law is found in Isaiah 51:1-3, “Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Look unto Abraham your father, mentor and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. For the Lord shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.”
Jeremiah 15:16, “Thy words were found, and I did eat them; (I did not take them casually) and thy word (you spoke) was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O Lord God of hosts.”
You look up to someone to get to somewhere. Psalm 34:5, They looked unto Him and were lightened ......”
Hebrews 6:12, “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.”

Only true disciples become great apostles. Only true followers become leaders.
It's impossible to maximise mentorship without engaging and hearing the voice of the spirit from books. John 1:16 says, ‘Of his fulness have we all received..’ it’s not what you read to preach but what you read to live because every leader of worth is a reader and every reader is a potential leader.

Introduction

THIS BOOK IS ABOUT APPLYING THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTORSHIP AND THE ROLE MODEL PRINCIPLE IN THE MAKING OF OR BECOMING AN OUTSTANDING CUTTING-EDGE LEADER

Without a role model, you can hardly play your role well!

In this life, you are either being mentored or being tormented and building a library or a mortuary without knowing.

THERE IS NO FUTURE FOR A MENTORLESS PERSON and NO FUTURE FOR ANYONE WHO DOES NOT READ AFTER MENTORS OR FATHERS. REMEMBER: HE WHO DOES NOT READ IS NO BETTER THAN HE WHO CANNOT READ!!!

Leaders are not born; Leaders are raised through the role model principle and the law of mentorship.

MENTORSHIP IS NOT A SUGGESTION, BUT A LAW.

ANYONE WHO IS NOT FOLLOWING ANYONE IN PARTICULAR IS NOT WORTHY TO BE FOLLOWED.

The Power Of Mentorship [Role Models Or Mentors]

Isaiah 30:20-21, ‘And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.’

The Psalmist said in Psalm 119:97-100, ‘O how love I thy law! It is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.’

King Solomon said in Proverbs 13:20, ‘He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.’

To become a cutting-edge leader, God emphasises that He cannot guarantee you anything until you sit and study endlessly under His appointed teacher He has assigned to you and for you. There are teachers and there are APPOINTED TEACHERS. YOU MUST FIND YOUR TEACHER BECAUSE, NOT EVERYONE QUALIFIES TO TEACH

YOU as confirmed in Isaiah 30:20-21, Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, This is the way; walk in it."

Bishop Michael Hutton-Wood

You don’t choose them; God assigns them to you. (Pastor and Teacher) – Jeremiah 3:15-16,
