God's Armor-bearers

By divine design, God expects every one of his children to end up serving him by using their God-given potentials. The problem with this is that many believers lack the proper training and equipping necessary to render quality (or reasonable) service to God. We must realize that not every service attracts a reward from the Lord (Rom. 12:1). There is a "how to serve God." It is not just enough to know "what" you desire to do or "why" you desire to do it; until you know "how" to do it, then no quality work will be done. Gehazi rendered "unreasonable" service and received leprosy instead of a mantle from his mentor! The burden of many Pastors and ministry leaders would be reduced somewhat if only they had a competent, well trained, spiritually furnished, and of course, a faithful, loyal work force. Many ministry leaders are stressed and burnt out; many are being betrayed, maligned, slandered, and just generally stabbed in the back by supposed followers and proteges. The problem here seems to be that there is a lack of clarity or understanding of the things expected of the protégé, and of course the mentors too. This therefore leaves room for a lot of chaos and confusion in the household of God. The Lord has so ordained that at various times, God-given mentors will enter and exit our lives. God would normally place someone who has submitted to him in discipleship under one of His servants as a human 'discipler', coach or mentor. During this period, the disciple will be taught in different ways while God sits down to watch keenly your progress under your earthly 'discipler'. This he uses as a yardstick to evaluate you, to see whether you are qualified to hold trust for Him. A mentor can be the difference between poverty and prosperity, decrease and increase, loss and gain, pain and pleasure, deterioration, and restoration. This book will take you, the reader, beyond the shallow waters, and beyond the letter of the word; it will launch you into the Spirit behind the word. It will reveal to you the intent, the integrity and immutability of the Word of God when it comes to biblical mentoring, and armor-bearing. Get ready! Get ready!! Get ready!!! APOSTLE (DR.)
