The Importance Of Mentoring

by John Arcovio

• TO SUCCESSFULLY MENTOR, LEARN THE WORD OF GOD

  1. THE WORD OF GOD IS JESUS. ( JOHN 1 )
  2. JESUS (THE WORD ) IS THE BREAD OF LIFE. ( JN.6:28-35 )
     { THE OLD TESTAMENT MANNA WAS A TYPE OF CHRIST AND HAD TO BE GATHERED DAILY }
  3. WE BECOME PERFECT (COMPLETE) AND APPROVED OF GOD AS WE LEARN HIS WORD. ( 2 TIM.2:15; 3:15-17 )
  4. WE MUST KNOW TRUTH TO BE MADE FREE AND THE WORD IS TRUTH. ( JOHN 17:17; 8:31-32; 14:6-9 )
  5. OUR NAMES MUST BE IN THE LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE TO BE SAVED.
     ( REV.21:27; REV.22:18-19; LK.10:17-20 )
  6. ALL PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THERE NAMES IN THE LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE WILL WORSHIP THE ANTI-CHRIST IN THE END TIME. ( REV.13:3-9 {VS.8})

• WE MUST MENTOR OTHERS NOT AFTER OURSELVES BUT, TO BECOME LIKE JESUS ?

1. WE MUST BEHOLD (LOOK UPON) JESUS TO BECOME LIKE HIM. (2 COR.3:18; 1JN.3:1-2 )
2. HOW DO WE BEHOLD OR SEE HIM ? MATT.5:8 "BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART: FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD"

• OUR HEART MUST BE PURE TO MENTOR.

1. THE WORD OF GOD IS PURE. ( PS.119:140 )
2. THE WORD IS PUT IT IN YOUR HEART. ( PS.119:11 )
3. IT GETS IN YOUR HEART BY STUDY AND PRACTICE. ( 2 TIM.2:15; 1 JN.3:18-24 )

• HOW DO WE KNOW OUR HEART IS PURE ?

  1. YOUR OWN MOUTH WILL TELL YOU. ( LK.6:45; MATT.15:18-20 )

• MENTOR BY THIS MINDSET - WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? (WWJD)
