Principles of the Protégé

Exodus 16

We are walking in today:  The Mentor's Manna

Teaching from the book:  Principles Of The Protege, Discover the Pathway to Success written by Dr. Francisco I. Victa III

Witness  two witnesses throughout the Bible:  H8147 shĕnayim two, both, double, twice & H5707 `ed witness, testimony, evidence (of things)
Deuteronomy 17:6, 19:15; Matthew 18:16; 2 Corinthians 13:1; Revelation 11:3

If you will value the manna of your mentor, you will eat the fruit of the fruitful. Manna is food for the wilderness state--fruit is the food of the Promised Land. The word of Yahweh out of the mouths of your mentor comes from the spirit of Yahweh and contains hidden keys to your victory.

Revelation 2:17
Those who have ears, let them hear what the Spirit is saying to the Messianic communities. To him winning the victory I will give some of the hidden man. I will also give him a white stone, on which is written a new name that nobody knows except the one receiving it.”’ - CJB

Hebrew: Rebbe, master, teacher, mentor

Protégé a person under patronage, protection, and in the care of someone interested in his or her career or well being.

We set the foundation on characteristics in this great topic at hand--principles of the protege. We search in great depths to be inspired by men and women who aspired to achieve above the norm in life. Emulating every part of a persons admiration because of the level of respect towards that person's achievements. Which causes many to seek out professional mentors--whether they are spiritual or professional. You know financial gurus and personal trainers a great example we can see in everyday life. We all at some point or another seek out the mentorship of another deemed more proficient.

Yet what about the actions of the protege? See we all can acquire great mentorship--that can be Yahweh sent. As protégées will we comprehend well? Can we respect proper instructions and corrections? Without pride or talk back?

The mentors manna is an awesome topic in relevance to the law of two. Hebraically, first we are taught that our world is governed by laws. These laws are based on principles. These principles are rooted in the teachings and instructions (commandments) of Yahweh, given to Moses unto the children of Israel. These laws when applied or observed are governed divinely--activating success in life as the scripture says:

John 10:10
The thief comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure. - CJB

So we apply the law of two: mentor and protégé--just as a leader without a follower is a person taking a walk. So is a mentor without a protege is a teacher without a pupil. Applying this principle in your life will prosper you in the kingdom. Living Yahweh's teachings and instructions shows you the benefits of being and becoming a great protege--that will lead to promotion in your life. Due to the wisdom respected and practiced given from the mentor.

Truth is ordained to come through skin.  We have to know that Yahweh uses others to speak through as well. Hidden instructions are revealed in the manna of wisdom from mentors. Just as the Hebrews in the wilderness sought out the strange food provided from Yahweh, not knowing what it was called it manna (what is it). Yahweh instructed Moses to tell the people what and how much to gather to eat. The hidden wisdom of instructions is designed to be food to carry you through the wilderness. Yahweh designed the wisdom of mentors to be manna for our life's situations. If we listen and apply exactly their instructions. We show great honor and respect.

Respect in honor of a mentor is key, adds value as well. Without the love and respect of a mentor, one cannot ever receive the wisdom of instructions given. The application is understood but the reasons, why and the actual wisdom are shadowed in obscurity. Because the heart has prior damage from unresolved influences.

Protegees must realize as well that it is about learning from the mentor, that is a privilege. The mentor has been tried and true and has a wealth of knowledge to convey. The fact of having someone interested in teaching--is a blessing and phenomenal. To keep in mind the spirit of gratitude and helpfulness. Can further have favorable results and helping out mentors. Instead of always being a problem for them. Be a help in solving problems for them.

~ The way you value your mentor, will be the way the next protege will value you.~

The protege versus prodigal

Protégés must learn to think generational.

Prodigals think about today. Protégés think about tomorrow.

A prodigal lives by instant-gratification.
A protégé lives by deferring gratification.

A prodigal despises his mentor.
A protégé values his mentor.

A Prodigal wants to be pleased.
A protégé wants to please.

A prodigal is sterile.
A protégé is generational.

A prodigal’s focus is on rewards.
A protégé’s focus is on relationships.

A prodigal aborts the words of his mentor upon conception. A protégé carries the words of his mentor into the future.

When a protégé values and applies the mentor’s manna, the protégé will be granted greater provisions in his future. Proper valuing of the mentor’s manna will lead to greater provision for the protégé.
