from studying for IDT test

wanted to blog this after IDT that night but forgotten about it. 

5 minutes ago, while I was studying  for my test, I came across it again. The 4 fundamental steps to effective mentoring is to 

1) Discover the Truth

2) Apply the Truth

3) Reap the benefits

4) Pass it on

PAstor was sharing about how as leaders, especially for young leaders, they should focus on talking their walk rather than walking their talk. What he basically means is that instead of preaching what is and what is not, what to do and what not to do, they should preach from their lives, discover the truth, apply the truth, reap the benefits and then pass it on.

It reminded me about how though I am so excited to glean new insights and revelations from God through His word, through worshipping Him, through time with Him, and how far I fall short of applying the truth and reaping the benefits of it. For me, half of the time, my process is: obtain insights and revelations, and pass it on. I skipped the most important parts of applying the truth and reaping the benefits, so I could make the learning experience more real for the people who needs to walk the same path as I do. That basically means my rate of transformation from within is not quite efficient as it would be if I had been obedient and had gone through those hard times.

I want to be transformed. My heart, my actions, my thoughts, my words, may all these be used.
