Mentorship is the ability to guide or instruct someone. We seem to get all we want from the environment through our five senses in this generation, but we can't get all from all that. We are in need of someone close to our environment.
We has Christians must follow the steps of those that are gone before us. Before a man becomes what he is destined to be, he needs two people. God and a mentor. God is important because only those that know their God will do exploit and be strong (Daniel 11:32).
We also need someone to train us. It doesn't matter what that person have, it is what the person can offer. Getting a mentor is in two ways :-consciously like Elisha and unconsciously like Moses and Samuel.
Elisha heard God and forsook everything he ever possess as a large scale mechanized farmer. He went ahead to serve Elijah. When he got the mentoring needed, he knew what he to ask when his master was going because he understood that a servant must be greater than the master after a while. He took a conscious decision to be an apprentice.
Unconsciously Samuel found himself in the house of Eli, due to the vow of the mother. He had no choice and he yielded to the situation he found himself. Moses also left Egypt, got married and found himself a father in law (Jethro) that was a priest and a shepherd (Exodus 3:1).

Be calm because He's in control of your and he has a plan for. God bless you! Amen.
Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God.
