Mentorship

Proverbs 27:17, ‘As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.’ The society, and by extent the church today is short of men and women of character and that is why the next generation might not have real men and women because it take one to nurture one. This is the essence of mentorship, that one can only give another what he possess himself. If you as a young person want to have the qualities of integrity, maturity, kindness, courtesy, humility and peace then you cannot attain them if your mentor or role model is one who is dishonest, rude, immature, prideful and unruly, it cannot just happen. Friends also mould and shape us because we spend most of our social time with them, we ask for their input when we are faced with the dilemmas of life and so we also need to choose them wisely. If you want to know the character of a man, look at his friends.
