Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. Gal 1:17-18.

This rush many times is not born out of the understanding of the basic rules governing a profitable mentoral relationship but to get hands laid and oil poured on them. Many have gotten hand laid, oil poured and mantles given yet have nothing tangible to show.
Hear this!
No serious mentor will give you continuous attention when he discovers you have no basic understanding of what you are really out for. You will end up constituting yourself a nuisance and subjected albeit indirectly to all manner of protocols. No one can bring out of you what you don’t have in a measure. You don’t carry empty head and heart about seeking whom to fill them for you- only God does that. The truth remains that very serious, purposeful and goal oriented visionaries only identify with people having something to offer as their time is preciously limited.
Paul waited for three whole years, Understanding his call, building personal insights, engaging the Holy Ghost in details of pursuit before presenting himself to the elders for further Impartation and release.
No one minds someone who has not minded and mined himself. Minding yourself refers to seasons of seclusion and reduction in activities while mining yourself refers to the engagement of thoughts to arrive at clarity of assignment and delivery of profitable ideas and strategies for engagement.
How serious you are taken is a function of how serious you first took in yourself and your assignment.
Whatever assignment or field you play in, please ensure to mind and mine yourself first and then get ready for profitable engagement with your forerunners.
It’s a new week and it shall be highly profitable and productive for you in Jesus name name.
Remain blessed and rapturable as you pursue your assignments!
