The Heavenly Father honors these people!

Students need to be available to be where their teachers or mentors are. They need to prioritize their time to be accessible to them. In the same way, we need to submit our schedules to our Master Teacher and Mentor, the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to follow Him and His will for us. The Heavenly Father honors those who willingly do this with all of their hearts. He will shower His favor upon those who follow the Lord Jesus. A true student will be where their teacher is, and a true disciple will follow the Lord Jesus! Whom are you following?

John 12:26 “If you want to be my disciple, follow me and you will go where I am going. And if you truly follow me as my disciple, the Father will shower his favor upon your life”

The Apostle Paul did this for Timothy

Part of the Christian walk is that of sharing our faith. That means that you have to have something to share! Paul told Timothy to teach the truths that Paul had taught him to other trustworthy people. Did you catch that? Timothy had spent time with Paul, so he was able to learn from Paul. Timothy was mentored by Paul. He traveled with Paul. He gave Paul the opportunity to impart his Godly knowledge and wisdom. Timothy’s relationship with Paul allowed Timothy to be effectively mentored. Today, many people want to to be important and to be influential, but they don’t want to go through the mentorship process. They do not want to submit to anyone. Hence, they will not be able to receive any real, anointed wisdom from experienced leaders. Any real, effective godly leader was mentored by another effective godly leader. Timothy became qualified to be a great leader, because of his humility. He submitted to God, and the person who God provided as a mentor and teacher.

2 Timothy 2:2 “You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable witnesses. Now teach these truths to other trustworthy people who will be able to pass them on to others”.
