Listen to Today's Word

The Power of Example

Scripture

“Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.” – Philippians 3:17 (KJV)

Insight

A spiritual father’s greatest influence often comes not from what he says, but from how he lives. Paul invited believers to imitate his example because he lived consistently before them. Your spiritual father or mentor’s daily life becomes a living curriculum.

In mentorship, modeling is crucial. The younger believer is not only hearing the Word but also seeing it embodied in everyday life. This includes how to handle trials, how to maintain integrity, and how to walk humbly before God.

Your greatest testimony to those you lead is your personal walk with the Lord.

Reflective Questions

Am I living in a way that others can safely follow my example?

Actionable Steps

Choose one area of your life to align more closely with God’s Word so it can serve as a testimony to others.

Prayer

Lord, help me to live a life worth following, marked by integrity, humility, and faith.

Declaration

My life is a godly example to others in word, conduct, and love.


God bless you!
