Revelation and Impartation

Joshua 8: 26  "For Joshua kept holding out his spear until everyone who had lived in Ai was completely destroyed

This scene reminds me off another battle, where Joshua was leading the army and Moses stood on the mountain and held up the rod of the Lord. In this story we see the power of mentorship. Joshua did what he had seen Moses do and Israel won the battle.

Your future will be determined by two things: the books you read and the people you associate with. Books bring information and revelation and people give you impartation. Your life is shaped by the things that you have been taught and the things you have caught.

You can spend the rest of your life doing what you know or you can grow. You must be an apprentice before you can become a master. OJT (on the job training) is an important part of your life, without it you lack the application and experience to really make something happen. Joshua had to come up under Moses before he could be placed over the nation of Israel.

Make a commitment to come up under someone that can teach and impart the wisdom, direction and anointing of God. Put your hands to the plow and don't look back. William Booth the founder of the salvation army, once had a very successful business man come to join his ranks. His first assignment was to shine boots, when the business man questioned Booth's wisdom in placing him in such a menial task, Booth simply replied that if he was to good to shine boots, then we was to prideful to be apart of the salvation army and he reminded him of Jesus's example of washing feet. We all must come under in order to be place over. Find a mentor and grow into the potential that God has for you.
