The last command of our Lord Jesus was for us to disciple the nations. This is a task that can only be done as all of us take our place. Paul told Timothy: “And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also” (2 Timothy 2:2). He taught his son in the faith (Timothy) how to minister, then he told him to do the same with other faithful people. The first thing the Lord Jesus did when He began His earthly ministry is to call to Himself 12 disciples that He personally mentored for future ministry. This is the order of God. Everyone needs to be equipped with the knowledge of the Word of God, and with the tools they need to engage in ministry. If you have been equipped, it’s time to begin to mentor others. If you are just coming in to the Kingdom of God, make sure you submit yourself to Godly mentoring. this was so important to the Lord Jesus that it was His last command before being taken up to Heaven.
Ephesians 4: 11-12 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ
