Genesis 31: 6-7 (NIV) You know that I’ve worked for your father with
all my strength, yet your father has cheated me by changing my wages ten times.
However, God has not allowed him to harm me.
The role of a protégé is to serve a mentor, I have
discoverered that there are mentors and tormentors.
A mentor sees your future and he is passionate in
ensuring that you get to that future, he/she is a coach, always correcting and
encouraging you to ensure you get better. A mentor is not afraid to tell you the truth no matter how bitter
it is, your mentor is not interested in your present, his focus is on your
future.
A tormentor on the other hand has foresight also like a mentor but he
is afraid of your future and will use you for his own purposes, a tormentor
will cheat and manipulate you just to keep you around and to ensure that
everything God has put in you is used for his own advancement, anything you do
to improve your status will be passionately resisted.
What do you do when you are serving a tormentor ?
1. Serve faithfully: you must understand that your reward
will come from God, not from any man. They may even belittle your work and
never share credit. Keep serving! When you serve man, look up to God for your
reward.
2. Report to God: what we do normally is to report to man
first or get angry or very rude. What you ought to do is report the matter to
God, if you trust God to handle it, He will.
3. Be assured that you will not serve in vain: God always
rewards your work. It doesn't matter how long your efforts have been
overlooked, a day is coming when God will combine all your faithfulness of many
years together and give you your reward.
God rewarded Jacob who served Laban for 14 years, God
rewarded David who served Saul faithfully and God also rewarded the Israelis
who helped build all the pyramids in Egypt during a 430 year period. You will
not leave that place empty handed, trust God!
