HOW TO UNLEASH THE GREATNESS IN YOU –PART FOUR

THE POWER OF ROLE MODEL

My son , attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. Wisdom rest in the heart of a King but a wise son will draw it.1 (Prov. 4:20-21).

This refers to the power of the role model principle. It quickens your steps. It prevents delay and confusion. Role model helps to make the journey easy and enjoyable. They offer vital information and give the right key for the needed results. Every great achiever had a coach. No successful man is an island.

There is nothing new under the sun. Everything has been done before. There is nothing you intend to do that no one had done before. Role models are God’s agents to help us reach stardom. They are divine connectors. They are supernatural bridges. Most people are too arrogant to be thought and instructed. Pride has kept many away from their destination.

Every great man had coach

Great leaders were once great followers. Everyone has followed somebody in his life. Jethro mentored Moses. Abraham mentored Lot. Laban raised Jacob. Jesus followed John the Baptist. Paul mentored Timothy and Titus. Smith Wigglesworth passed on the mantle to Kenneth Hagin. Dr Oyedepo followed Kenneth Hagin. Great men of God have had great mentors and so are great millionaires all over in History. King David coached his son Solomon how to walk in prosperity. Kenneth Copeland was mentored by Oral Roberts. Dr.Creflo Dollar was raised by Kenneth Copeland.

And the list goes on and on. Dale Carnegie mentored Napoléon Hills about the secrets of successful millionaires. What do you want to do? Somebody has done it already. It is your job to locate this people God has placed on your way, tap into their wisdom and be blessed by them. The degree of your fellowship determines the extent of your leadership. Follow hard and lead strong. If you follow with all your heart you lead with all their wisdom. The only price you pay for being a protégé is humility and patience.

Role model is a principle of life

In aviation industry teach- ability is a key requirement. The young pilots must be humble enough to learn from the more qualified senior ones. In medical sciences it plays a major role. Most operations and surgeries have been performed already. You cannot live long enough to make all the mistakes. Get to the operation theatre and learn how it is done. Judges still make reference to precedents in courts. Case studies are still very vital in business studies today.

Mentors save you from many years of pain and sorrow. You benefit from both their mistakes and successes. They rather accelerate your growth. They pass on to you within a couple of seconds, information that took them many painful years to acquire. Do not allow anybody to rob you of this blessing of mentorship.
