Who Is Your Traveling Companion?

Did you know that top athletes always travel with a coach? Whether it’s Roger Federeck, Andy Roddick, Tiger Woods or any other superstar athlete, all of them bring alone more than their clubs or rackets or cleats. They make sure to bring their coach.

I’ve heard some people ask, “Why do they need a coach? Why, they’re the best in the world!”

That’s why they’re the best in the world. They understand the crucial essential of being coachable.

God designated some of the best mentors of the ages and assigned them to us. Sometimes they will keep us alive. Sometimes they will keep us improving.
Assigned Mentors – Noah, Abraham, Jacob, Joesph, Elijah, Nahum, John, Peter, Sarah, Deborah, Ruth, Naomi, Mary, Martha, Dorcas, Priscilla and others. They wait to speak to you.

At times these mentors will raise their voices, because they see you rushing toward a dead end. They will stand in your path, just like the angel with the drawn sword who barred Balaam’s path, and say, “You’re not going to do it.”

I can’t think of better mentors for a businessman than Solomon, who reached an unbelieveable pinnacle of success while still being a young man.

I can’t think of a better mentor for a pastor than Moses. This great leader shephered a congregation, not of 1,000′s, but of 1,000,000′s!

I can’t think of a better mentor for a professional than Luke, the physician, or for an educator than Paul, or for a mother than Mary.

Your inheritance is what God has in store for you. He keeps most of it under the guardianship of caretakers until you come of age.

The prophets still speak. The coaches still live.

Death did not terminate their lives. God gave them the eternal assignment to tutor future generations of HIS children.

Solomon ought to be the ultimate remaineder to us that it doesn’t matter how smart you are, how much you know, nor how many degrees trail your name. If you shun God’s counsel and turn away from the mentors that He has provided, you’re in trouble.

The Bible is not a magic book.

Avid Students of life will attend the University of the Holy Spirit.

If you take the Word of God into your head and spout it out to others, but don’t take it any further, that’s called information. The Pharisees were truly remarkable when it came to information. They refused to live it – even though they loved to teach it to others.

God is intimately acquainted with our ways, and He’s more concerned about transformation than He is information.

God promises to bless the readers of the Bible (Revelation 1:1-3).

God doesn’t need someone with a masters in marketing or a Ph D in public relations.

God is calling for a spokesperson – a man or woman who will deliver the very heart of God.

Each year, (the author of this book) which is president of Pacific Rim Bible College in Hawaii, where he preside over the Commencement Ceremonies.

There is one university that we will never leave in this lifetime. It is the university of the Holy Spirit. This is a program of lifelong learning, coaching, and on the job training. Graduation will commence when we walk through heaven’s gates. The University of the Holy Spirit will include classroom learning experiences, set backs, consequences, disciplines, long journeys, and a host of traveling companions.

You can get hired for a job, but success and advancement is a do-it-yourself proposition.
