Time
Everything requires time. Whatever you do, whatever plans you have requires time. Time dominates everything. There is nothing that you can do that does not require time. You need to use it efficiently because time is expensive and precious. Do not treat it as if it is free. Make hay whilst the sun shines.Ecclesistes chapter 3 says that "to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
Time management is important to us as individuals and to our God. If God gives you an assignmet and you dilly dally with it, you may miss your timming. Please don't mess up with time, use time effectively.
Let the Lord lead you in all your ways and he will direct your paths.

Time
Time is inelastic, it cannot be expanded or contracted. How are you using your time. We all have 24 hours in a day. Some spend more than 60% of this time watching television and others sleep it off. Some use this same amount constructively by either reading, researching,creating businesses, making things work for others etc. Some people within the same time create wealth i.e. within the same 24 hours.
How are you using your time for.
Time is inelastic, so make good use of it. God bless you.

Good Mentoring
Mentoring is very important in every everybody's life. Successful people do not stand alone. If you speak to them, you would realise that all of them had someone who mentored them or someone they had to learn from or looked up to. These people inspired them, encouraged them, corrected their shortcommings and helped shaped them to be who they are today.
Your being mentored goes a long way to affect where you get to. People who are mentored grow up most of the time to be like their mentors or even better than their mentors.
Mentors who are older than you, are there to train you, to teach you, to share their personal successes and failures with you so that you can also learn from them.
There are also peer mentors who form something like a group of accountability. These people are normally a group of friends who mentor each other, make sure everyone in the group is supported through their challenges and successes, they make sure every member of the group is standing every time and in short they are accountable to the group. I had such a group when I was a student at the University Of Ghana. This group is still in existence today.
The group comprised of myself Ps. Nick, Ps. Rolland, Ps. George, Ps. Harvey, Ps. Charles(late), and a few others. We are still accountable to each other up till now.
There is a Church on the internet that practices this very well. They are actually in the USA but I know them through the internet. They are called Passion for Christ movement. Members of the church call each other through out the week to encourage one another and make sure that they are standing firm in the Lord. They are always there for each other and you can see the love flow in their interactions.

Mentorship
What is happening to christian mentoring today? In employment, you see a lot of people being trained or going through apprenticeships before graduating to become professionals. People are coached and motivated to excell in their fields and to offer best practice.
However I have time and time again seen a lot of christians who do not know their left from their right. They come up with all kinds of beleifs and statements that have no basis in scriptures. There aren't that many mentors in Christendom today to bring up and train people who are young in the faith. Eli trained Samuel, Elijah mentored Elisha, Barnabas mentored John Mark, Paul mentored Timothy, whom are you mentoring? Or who is mentoring you?
