MENTORSHIP: What you should know.

Mentorship

Mentorship is a personal developmental relationship in which a more experienced or more knowledgeable person helps to guide a less experienced or less knowledgeable person (Wikipaedia).
The person in receipt of mentorship may be referred to as a protégé (male), a protégée (female), an apprentice or, in recent years, a mentee.
"Mentoring" is a process that always involves communication and is relationship based, but its precise definition is elusive. One definition of the many that have been proposed, is
Mentoring is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the protégé)".[1]
Benefits of a Mentor

  • Benefit from another person’s vision, experience, and learning
  • Gain insight into organizational culture, appropriate behaviors, attitudes, and protocols in your field
  • Talk with experienced people in your field
  • Focus on career plans and career exploration
  • Become energized by achievement, mastery, and personal growth
  • Grow in personal power and ability

A Mentor will be your own private source of objective advice, someone with experience in setting and achieving goals, and someone who wants to share those abilities with you.

A Mentor:
  • Helps you learn from his or her experience.
  • Can be a fantastic resource for investigating future 
    colleges, careers, and your community.
  • Provides advice to help you evaluate your options and 
    make better decisions.
  • Helps you access to a new world of ideas and 
    experiences.

Why Do People Become Mentors?
Everyone has his or her own reason for becoming a Mentor. Perhaps it’s the opportunity:
  • To help someone.
  • To enjoy people and their ideas.
  • To share his/her experience.
What Is a Mentee?
  • A person being mentored by another person or persons.
  • One who makes an effort to assess, internalize, and use effectively the knowledge, skills, insights, perspective, or wisdom offered by the mentor.
  • A recipient of a mentor’s help, especially a person who seeks out such help and uses it appropriately for developmental purposes whenever needed.
By choosing to become a Mentee you've already made a special commitment to yourself and to your Mentor to define and reach your goals based on your vision of the future. Wherever you want to go, a partnership with your Mentor will help to get you there!

FRUITS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Retrieved from:  http://www.bible-knowledge.com God wants all of us to enter into a true sanctification process with Him so that He can begin the process of molding, shaping, and transforming us into the express image of His Son Jesus Christ. He wants to make us into a better and more holy people. He wants to transform us by the renewing of our minds. He wants to put right thinking into our thought process. In the first article we have listed under this section titled “ Sanctification ,” I gave you the specific verses from Scripture that showed you that it is by the power of the Holy Spirit that this sanctification process is done with you in this life. However, you will not be a passive robot in all of this. You have to be willing to work in cooperation with the Holy Spirit once He begins to start this sanctification process within you. Your job will be to get into the Word to find out exactly what it is God is going to want to change about you. You will need to find out exactly what

PRAYER TO CONTROL THOUGHT LIFE OR TORMENTING THOUGHTS Pray something like this: “Father, I first bind Satan, then the ruler spirit(s) and all spirits not of the Holy Spirit ministering tormenting thoughts to me or harassing me and I loose myself, gag them, break their powers and cast their works down as vain thoughts and imaginations, all in Christ Jesus’ Name.

LET GO & LET GOD! In the hustle and bustle of modern life, we often find ourselves tangled in a web of responsibilities, expectations, and worries. The constant need to control every aspect of our lives can be overwhelming and exhausting. However, there comes a point when we must realize that not everything is within our control. Embracing the concept of "letting go and letting God" (or the Universe) can be a transformative experience, offering peace and clarity amidst the chaos. Take aways: Release Control: Letting go means releasing our tight grip on outcomes and trusting that a higher power or the natural flow of the Universe will guide us toward what is best. It involves acknowledging our limitations and understanding that some things are beyond our influence. This doesn’t mean giving up or being passive; rather, it is an active choice to surrender our anxieties and trust in a greater plan.
