and sisters, with extra ordinary birth challenges, we all came here the
same way, to emphasize the fact that as adults, each of us play a daily
conscious or subconscious role in the results that we have achieved.In the various stages of life, somewhere along the path, from
birth to death, you and I are in the spotlight, and are either conceiving
a thought, about to make a decision taking an action, forming a habit
that may yield a desired result. Therefore, we all live and die by the
choices we make. As infants, we are controlled by others. As youth,
we are influenced by peers and friends. As adults, we take charge and
assume control and make decisions however we see fit.The foregone is really important because as you read on, you
will find that even in all these disparities of life great treasures are
discovered, the inspiration to achieve and to inspire is birthed on a
constant basis, new industries and entities come to bear there is much
hope and demands create desire.

Chapter 2The Journey
Without coveting others, those of us in societywho are inventors of entities, industries and things that
make life better should be applauded and rewarded for the
unselfish positive contribution to our community. There is
that farmer all he knows is to plant and cultivate crops but
also depends heavily on that special excavating equipment
designed by some one in another country that he needs to
clear new land to grow food that has to be harvested by
additional equipment so that it could be distributed to the
masses. The doctor who has studied medicine for 12 years
and up but also depends on power plants to power up his newpiece of technological equipment that would provide help
for that aged person with a rear traumatic health challenge
and what about those who pursue careers in advance science
and technology, that help us with communication systems
that make staying in touch easier. I think of industries like
Microsoft who has helped changed the way business ownersdo business around the world. In the natural sense we see the
residual benefit that others enjoy by the end product.

Therefore, it must be concluded that the true wealth
of a society, is held within the minds of the inhabitants, and
in any community where dictatorial restrictions are imposedon the people that force them to become co dependants on
the self made institutions, is a society that is doomed to
ruin; And in a society, there are problem makers and problem
solvers, you are either a part of the solution or a part of the
problem and that society, it is not the geographical location
in which you live. In any community, individuals are more
valuable than things, every product, as valuable as it is, isfirst in thought, then acted upon, overcoming obstacles with
intent to benefit others will be rewarded. Wealth developed
will be rewarded, and anyone, including you, who is willing
to produce a tangible or intangible product that benefits the
masses will be most certain be appreciated in one form or
another. In the entertainment industry we see the rise ofcertain artist as they provide songs that appeal to the every
day issues of life. Some talk about their own personal lives
and some talk about others. The masses are hungry waiting
and willing to reward you if you are sensitive to a specific
need.
In this book, you learn the principles of less selfthat will cause you to see life through the Kings eyes. Your
purpose will be redirected away from self, to serving others.
Your motivation will be enhanced when you commit to be
instructed with His ideas and methods for behavioral change.
In your own life, can you honestly say that others
benefit from its purpose? Is it a shared dimension? The
answers to these questions are held deep inside and most ofthese questions will be answered. Your value is necessary and
needed. Your input is not wasted.

Although we face many challenges in life, we should
try to create solutions that will help others. With an
outgrown attitude, the reality output is necessary forfurther generations. Lets say you had an option to live a
thousand years on earth, would you make the decisions that
you are currently making? Would they provide wholesome
entertainment, leadership or inspiration? Your habits should
be a desired duplication for others to follow. Is your language
the choice words that shape a better future. The instructions
intertwined therein are to extend an olive branch to you sothat you see life through the eyes of a King. and consequently
become a protg.
We live in a society filled with all kinds of backgrounds.
Some of us are bred up in various geographical and
cultural locations which eventually shape our thinking and
lifestyles, and some times we are stagnated because of ourdeeply entrenched beliefs which are a comfort zone. Change
then becomes necessary although it is not easy, because
it threatens the comfort zone that you are used to, it is
necessary for production because it is insanity to continue to
do the same things and expect different results.
Some of the changes necessary for real productivitymay be a change of environment, a change of relationships
and a change of information, for example the things we
hear and hang around on a continuous basis are extremely
influential in the way we think the things we say and the
decisions we make, seeing life through the eyes of a king is to
see your self at a position of power and influence redefining
the fact that you are not a victim of a circumstance but avictor in a situation, a person who has evolved to a position
of power. We emphasize three main changes that are
-
8/8/2019 proof#1- MBAK-001 (1)
11/105

Mentored by a King
crucially important as follows
ENVIRONMENT. Your environment can be a placeof pity, or potency, it is best be described as an incubation,
as in the case of a seed planted in a nursery special care and
attention is provided so that the seed receive proper nutrients
in the soil, special lighting, water and time is allowed so that
maximum reproduction take place, however, if that same
seed is in an environment that has none of the above it will
not develop, it is very remarkable that although the seed ispregnant with potential yet without the right environment it
remains unproductive in its form so it is with you and your
environment, what and who you hang around, influences your
behavior dont think that your friends or what you allow to
enter into your ears and heart do not influence you. Do your
self a favor: Take heed what you hear
RELATIONSHIPS. We will go into it in more dept
later but we want to emphasize the importance of the quality
of relationships that you keep, and we mean those who are
closest to you as within your inner circle and then how you
relate to others those who are in your outer circle there isa saying birds of feather flock together, or this one, show me
your friends and I will show you where you are going or who
you are, the people or places you keep company with define
your future, it is risky business to keep close company with
someone whose belief system decries the moral conscience
of a great community or who persecutes the body of Christ,
or is not supporting or helping you to become all that youcan become both mentally spiritually and physically fit
The question is should I have friends? The answer is defined

by the out come you want.
INFORMATION. It is critical, it is the soundingboard that reinforces your belief system it is what others told
you when you were young i.e. your parents or other trusted
others, it is also what you hear on a continuous basis, some
things that you hear just one time may not necessarily sink in
your heart immediately but if you hear it over and over again
you may debate it for a while or even agree with it and some
how it could become part of your personality or style orbelief system. We will talk more about that later on as well
Key point: We become a part of the environment cultivated around
us, the relationships that we keep and the things we hear.
Mentored by a Kingis about lifting you from whereyou are and getting you to become what you were destined
to become, it is for the young adult who needs a sense
of belonging and direction, it is for the middle age adult
who is exhausted and have reached a place of real fatigue,
for the individual overburdened by debt and needs relief,
it is for that individual in prison surrounded by negativecircumstances and yet deep within their soul want a sense of
belonging and acceptance, for those of you reading this book,
congratulations, we believe that help has arrived, because
there is a King willing to help mentor you on a path of real
productivity and direction and with a change of behavior and
the ability to make some adjustments, you will get to the real
pinnacle of life where you will see and live your life throughyour Kings eyes and ideas, we will show you how to get there.

Chapter 3The Invitation
Hi! Welcome, at the end of the previous chapter we
described ten of hundreds of millions of people who wouldbest described themselves as victims of a circumstance and
it all became what it is because of a series if decisions made,
in your own life do you wish that you had made a different
decision about your spouse? Your career? A major purchase?
what is it about you now that you wish you had not done
or could have done differently, life is full of choices and
every day we make one whether knowingly good or bad and
every one with its own consequence, so the question is who
are you? How do others describe you? What defines your
identity? What is your true worth and value? We live in a
complex society, some are categorized by race, color, ethnicity
creed, some demonstrate a value system based on stereo
types, standards, statistics, bank accounts, geographicallodging locations, influential positions of authority, yet
all of these noble attributes are short lived and with all
-
8/8/2019 proof#1- MBAK-001 (1)
15/105
15
Mentored by a King
these disparities of life, how does one defined a person true
value system? If this is not addressed and we advertently
accept the foregone we could almost certainly or eventuallydeveloped assembly lines that create humans with no real
recourse.
Therefore a persons true worth and value cannot
be defined by any outward tangible products but by the
unseen capabilities held deep within their soul, historically
it was asked what shall a man give in exchange for his
soul? Another question, what shall it profit a man if hegains the whole world and yet looses his soul? in these two
simultaneous rhetorical questions it seems to me that the soul
factor (you and me) has advantages superior than the access
or amalgamation of all possible tangible stuff put together,
not saying that there is any thing wrong with the acquisition
itself, but that the acquisition is not a stand alone barometerfor defining your true worth and value, then what is more
valuable than the acquisition of the whole world? Before
we answer that question let us review, so that the following
statements will reinforce the importance the You factor, the
question; what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world?
seems almost redundant, because one could asked whatcould be wrong with such an idea and having all of it at my
disposal would it not add value to me the answer could be
yes and no but let us go on to the next question so that we
will clarify what shall a man give in exchange his soul? it
seems to me that the answer is within these two questions
indicating that you could gain the whole world; all the
money, the real estate, the banking and insurance institutions,technology and all the medical facilities combined the but its
worth could not be used as an exchange for your soul which
-
8/8/2019 proof#1- MBAK-001 (1)
16/105
16
Mentored by a King
means that your soul has a superior value than all of the
world resources put together combined.
I know that I was repetitive here but I wanted todemonstrate to you as you read so that you understand the
magnificence of the resources around you, yet your soul is
more valuable and more important, all of the above resources
are there for the service of mankind and not for man to
serve it; when I discover that truth years ago it changed my
view from a pitiful to a powerful state of thinking, the way
you see yourself is critical it defines your attitude and youraltitude.
In the third chapter we wanted to extend to you an
invitation to the luster and lifestyle of a King and we did not
care what your background, ethnicity, or race was, but rather
we knew that there was something very unique and attractive
about you that were far more valuable than things that moneycan buy.
There are some things note worthy about a King he
is described as some one in authority a ruler of a nation
or state, a man who is supreme or highly successful in
some field; when a ruler of a nation speaks his words are
weighty even the tone in which he speaks is judged andevery word carefully analyzed, his words are generally
spoken with authority and they affect the lives millions, when
the president of the United States delivers the address at
the state of the union almost every thing he says is about
creating new industries in the coming months or years and
some for life time. This is to show the power of the spoken
word.I chose to title the book Mentored by a King
because not only did I wanted to generate an interest to the
-
8/8/2019 proof#1- MBAK-001 (1)
17/105
17
Mentored by a King
masses but I also wanted to get you to see yourself being
the one mentored by the King so that your life will go from
where it is now to what it can become, if and when I chooseto be mentored by the King then I have an opportunity to
visit with and observe Him however; for me to benefit, it will
also require me to commit to some core values and principles
in order for me to benefit as a protg. In the following
chapters we will show some of the intuitive mechanics
adaptable for real behavioral change. You will learn the
language, the life styles and the legacies of a KingA proven historic statement that will demand your
connectivity in order for you to reap the benefits as protg,
and you will have to learn to deny yourself and follow the
king
The invitation extended to you is to ask you to come,
however it goes far beyond that, it is also identifying the youthat has been messed up and agreeing to be converted for
change,
THE PROCESS
In order to be mentored by a king the requirementsare two ways, you either have to be born into His family or
go through the process of adoption, and although any one is
invited the methods are the same.
A historic statement would read like this except a
man be born again he cannot see the King and even though
this statement is scorned and laughed at by some we will
explain some of the benefits later on, but it is worth notingand imperative that to be mentored by the king you have to
be born again into the family or through adoption, in order
-

Mentored by a King
words you have to be willing to become like an infant again
so that you can learn some new things and thus experience
a new outcome, the old you has failed miserably, we talkedabout being afraid and in survival mood and our opening
statements, which were not meant to leave you exposed but
to also provide a complete resolution out, and since many of
you reading may not have been born into His family the next
best option for you is the adoption process
In order for there to be changes you must be willing to
become as an adopted child so that you can learn thelanguage lifestyles and the legacies of the King
The adoption process in our community has been
established and regulated by local government agencies
for the sole purpose of providing for the protection of the
children involved, there are countless remarkable stories
of both parents and children who have experienced greatsuccess through the complex intricate adoption process,
and then there are those who have not. the purpose of this
analogy is to show the qualitative similarity and outcome
in the adoption process because some may be asking the
question how do I get mentored by a King
As you may be aware the adoption process is in place inour civil society, for the sole purpose of providing homes
for children who need loving parents to care for them, for
parents who wish to extend their families and for those
cannot have children of their own
In my own limited experience with others I knew s who
were foster parents, I took note of some similarities even
within this cross cultural phenomenon, meaning that therewere parents who adopted children from different races and
backgrounds, and yet it is this uniqueness that make the
-

Mentored by a King
process what it is, even though some of the adoption process
may be for a short season, it was most gratifying for the
parents I knew, some became very passionate about their newextended families with the ability to impart a part of their
parenting skills to a child or children that needed parental
care that they became very attached to them over a period
of time that when the time was up to give up the child there
was the painful emotional experience to part with the child, it
was because of the physiological adjustments that had to be
made, the emotional involvement in the child upbringing andthe comfort that the child or children experienced during the
period of time.
In fact there are countless case studies of parents who
express tremendous joy and fulfillment they experience in
being a part of raising and adopting children in some cases
children from across racial lines who had already adoptedthe language of their own biological parents, but now in
their new environment they had to learn new languages
and behaviors that are critical in the adoption process, it
important to take note, because it is all a part of the reasons
why that emphasis is so important. In the adoption process
the various adopting agencies want to ensure that the parentsare a good fit to nurture the children ensuring their safety
through background checks, and sound environmental
conditions. The local government agencies ensure that
food supplies and low cost medical treatment are available
throughout the adoption process simply because they want
to ensure that the adoption process is well suited for both the
parents and the children involved.It is important that we share this with you because
we talked about being born again and it means becoming

is influenced by its stratospheric view. You put this same
structure in a valley and dwarfed by two mountains then its
value changes. What you do and say in life is mainly becauseof your view or perception of life, and every day we have
an option to either be miserable and cause misery or master
the difficulties and help others because of our own personal
fulfillment.
What if you saw life from the kings view? Or what
if you were the President of the United States for one day?
What would you do differently about yourself today? Oneof the main reasons why we get frustrated is because of how
we feel or perceive things and are out of control, but the true
reality is always your perception, you can always do things
differently you can walk speak or act differently in every
situation. I am not saying it is always easily done, but it is
doable. If my perception is what I have concluded it is, thenthat is what it is with me, whether I am right or wrong.
Your true worth and value is never hinged on your
socio-economic or biological background nor the ivy league
to which you belong or on the mass fortunes bequeathed to
you by your fathers but rather your true worth and value is
coherent to the truth that has already been established waybeyond ancient history, when it was declared and recorded
that we should make man in our own image and in our own
likeness Gen 1- 26
Mentored by a Kingis to bring you in relationship
with yourself and identifying the real value attached to
you and then bit by bit exposing you to that value system
and elevating you to the place of supreme importance andchoosing to see and function in life through the eyes of a
king

Value system one. You are a superior product
The theory of a superior product identifies the need to see
value and self worth for what it truly is, that we are allhere for the purpose of influencing and affecting others for
the goodwill of mankind, that my words and actions are
also of superior value and that they help make the world
a better place to live in, that other human species around
me have a shared destiny, whether they are aware of it or
not, and because of its true definition my views actions and
approach brings me to a higher place of service, positiveinfluence exertive compassion, temperance and restraint.
Our community is largely appalled at the low expectations
of people of influence in our community accused of some
impropriety, because of the respect and honor that is
rightfully designated to that person or position, think of
some one in your own community who has been regarded asa person of influence and distinction i.e. an elected official, a
rabbi, a priest, pastor or clergyman and was accused of some
allegation, there is the immediate shock and wonder that
races through our minds about whether the allegation is true
or not and in some cases we hoped that it would not be true
or that it had never happen it is simply because of our trustand expectation of such a person in such a position, so it is
with you. Your demands and output dictate what you expect
so if you have expected the status quo and are living for the
moment and are a complainer or gossiper and have a defeated
and miserably mentality, do you know that this is exactly
what you are attracting? However, what if you decide to be a
trail blazer? To inspire promote and help others to find truefulfillment and a great reason for living. I often read the
biographies of great men and women who overcame the odds

and went on to achieve and lived and exemplified life and
influenced a path for others to follow.
I introduced the concept of a superior product, andin the next few moments we will continue to emphasize the
importance of harnessing that theory for what it is.
Let me stress here that life does have its challenges
but I have learned that because of my superior thinking,
commitment and submission to my mentor I have learned to
trust His discretion because He is trust worthy, it has been
tried and proven that His promises are guaranteed and themore I submit to follow his advice counsel and guidance for
my life, my confidence levels increases and I become more
solution oriented that is why you are reading this book today,
it is a result of my association with Him. so, no matter where
you are at this time in life we want you to see your self as
an important superior and valuable product not because ofacademic education or success that you have achieved but
because of the original intent and design. You are extremely
important to life.
In the kings world there is plenty of room for you
and can fit right in, in fact you can become first in line to be
received considered and accepted and with great delight youwill find the grand welcome experience, your qualification is
your acceptance not your birth place I may be repetitive here
again but I am trying to make a significant point this book is
written in such a way that you will leap frog from a mundane
give up life to a more exciting journey toward achieving and
becoming influential in your every day affairs responsibilities
and relationships. I must caution you that if your image hasbeen tarnished by circumstance and you cannot see the real
value attached yet lets continue on because by the close of

Mentored by a King
this book you will.
You must begin to see your self as equally valuable
as the King himself for there to be lasting and permanentchange, that your worth and value is never measured in silver
and gold or ethnicity, but on the ideals and intent of your
maker, can you begin to feel the surge of power permeating
deep within? Can you begin to see that real change is possible
for you? When that truth is believed for what it is, your
approach to life will have new meaning, your state, standards,
taste and tolerance will go to new levels because your life isabout what your king wants, what He advises, you will find a
level of respect self importance, excellence, virtue, positive
influence, power, and the need to share that experience with
others, the experience becomes very magnetized, there is
new joy now there is an abundance of laughter your soul
becomes lighter, not that there has been any physical changesbut there has been an extreme mental change, depression
days are over in your world there is sunshine now, a new
perspective, a new vision, a conquering spirit and more so,
lasting peace, the things that money cannot buy.
Please take note: your worth and value cannot be minimizedto any unfulfilled dreams or disappointments of the past.
Remember these empowering words that we make
man in our image and likeness the ability to conceive
that thought and to give birth to it is a courageous act
of discipline and self empowerment, that, in life you are
supposed to win.
From time to time life will be met with difficulties, roadblocks, set backs, defeat and danger but with a mind set
engaged in submission and close association with your

Mentorship
Mentorship has its privileges. Have you ever seen
the frustration on the face of a child at Christmas time with
a gift that they were exited about but needs to be assembled?
The instructions are usually enclosed all the pieces are in the
box the end result is to have a complete working toy, but the
frustration stems from the lack of knowledge or have you
ever experience the same thing in your life when you have
gotten frustrated about your own personal mismanagement?This chapter is filled with knots and bolts about you
and how to take charge in discomforting situations when and
where it seems that you are out of control that may not have
been recognized.
I want to start by with a historic ancient story about
a young man who was informed by his father about hisinheritance that he would receive at the age of maturity to
do, whatever hed wish, and he did, and at the age of maturity

he took his inheritance and went about his life, and with a
little mismanagement here and there, made some bad choices
and became a beggar, this summation is the story of thelives of millions of some of our brothers and sisters living
in our community, lives who have made the wrong turn and
desperately needs help.
The wrong decisions are themselves are the summation
of wrong thoughts, ideas, and influence around that boy.
I introduce the principle of influence and affect and their
relevance in the lives of each one of us, on a daily basis. Life
is choice driven, and we live and die by the choices that we make
-Dr I V Hilliard.
Every decision is influenced by something or some
one and mentored by a King is really about retraining you
to have the highest thought patterns about you, others, and
everything that you do because your realities of life is reallyabout your perceptions, let us go on to imagine a world with
no violence, stealing, adultery, murders, false witness, and so
on. Let us reexamine the idea of having the highest thought
patterns about you in a real life situation, because the reality
is, you always have options at your disposal to execute, are
they easy? not often always, are they achievable? With trialspersistence and tenacity you will experience a difference, Let
us give a reference point, about a relationship in the context
of husband /wife or girl friend /boyfriend let me caution that
You cannot control another persons behavior, whether they
are words or actions and therefore, you must free your self
from that frustrating idea, however, what you can control

to share with you, we want to emphasize that they are often
contrary to popular opinions and beliefs but the results are
achievable that is why we have put the information together.I chose the structure of family relations because it is one of
the most complex issues today, although it is the nucleus by
which our society and communities are formed, identified,
and recognized even by major institutions like governments
and other influential entities including insurance companies,
educational and medical facilities, and so indeed, the family
component is the fabric of our society, in the case of husbandand wife when the two becomes one; up to this writing this is
still a mystery to me, but as I unfold it I recognize that there
is so much to celebrate in this union, the idea of sharing your
life with some one of the opposite sex is definitely a complex
issue, but then it is also very rewarding because of the
differences and compliments of fellowship, caring, sharingand the possibilities of reproduction of a second generation
that is afforded in it, there are lasting and rewarding
benefits that come from this union, I have made these small
observations to bolster the reasons why so much has been
said and written about family life, and yet this institution is
under so much attack both from without, either by legislationinstituted and the right of free speech i.e. the ballot box,
and from within, the parties in the union who subrogates it.
In this situation we will attempt to do a little diagnosis to
identify the real problems and offer some powerful techniques
for bringing a measure of hope and reconciliation.
For the sake of being specific let us address the parties
in a legitimate relationship, the man and the woman, the manis supposedly the head of the woman and this has long been
established to give rise to the man so that he will assume the

ancient history.
His name is Abraham and rightfully so, known as the
father of faith and father of us all, he and his wife were givenan intrusive promise that they would have children and that
promise was initiated to them at a time when it appeared
that they had biologically passed the age of having children
of their own on, accounting that the woman was barren, so
Abraham was faced with the challenge of dealing with his
wife inability to have a child at that age, it was recorded that
she had passed the age of child bearing.He had this intrusive promise of having a child with
his wife, and when he communicated to his her, she laughed
at the idea as if to say, that he was either crazy or had lost his
mind about that thought, it was at that time he was inspired
to initiate the language and attitude associated with that
promise by beginning to call Sarah what she was going to be,although she was not. He had to see himself with the reality
of the promise being fulfilled and enjoying it even though
nothing had physically changed yet, because his feelings or
emotions would follow his words.
Key point: Your feelings always follow your words
What would happen to Abraham is that, he would have
to focus on the promise, rather than the problem, and begin
by literally calling (saying) Sarah what she was going to be,
as though she was, his attitude and language had to change
both toward the promise giver and his wife, from feeling and
being frustrated with her barrenness, to her bearing children,and to appreciate her for what she would become, this
would allow him to express his energy on the possibilities

of the promise becoming a reality, than magnifying the
impossibilities of the situation.
This spiritual law must be applied in your situationand will work each and every time for the person willing to
commit to obey Gods word regardless of the difficulties that
you face, His spoken word is always pregnant with potential
and the soil on which is falls, which is your heart, is the
determine factor, that will allow its fruition, let us visit the
text in question so that we can validate this truth. Romans
4:17, As it is written I have made thee a Father of many nations,
before him whom he believed even God, who quickeneth the dead
and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who
against hope believed in hope that he might become the Father of
many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy
seed be. And being not weak in faith he considered not his own body
now dead, when he was a hundred years old, neither the deadnessof Sarahs womb. He staggered not at the promise of God through
unbelief but was strong in faith giving glory to God.
Abraham had every reason and right to give up, even
though He had a great promise, and you must understand
that the promise he had, was the spoken word he had receive
from God about his biological legacy, however, the naturalconditions he faced were very contrary to the potential of the
promise, and in this situation, his wife verbal and biological
situation appeared as a non contributing factor, He was also
old, therefore, he could have accepted the natural situation, or
he could have agreed with the promise giver, and as stated he
chose to agree with the promise giver by ignoring the natural
challenges and laying claim to the promise by giving glory toGod for it becoming a reality, despite of the circumstances.
He staggered not at the promise through unbelief but was

strong in faith giving glory to God. This profound truth
must be imbedded in your heart soul and mind if your
are going to conquer the dark, disappointment, defeatedmentality that has so often plagued and poison your thinking
concerning the promises made to you. It must be understood
that all the promises of God are received by faith, that is,
speaking agreeing and acting with the promise as though it is
a reality.
That true spiritual practical leadership phenomenon
has been the hallmark in many board rooms in majorinstitutions and entities today, when it would seem that
desires and dreams would be aborted, because of logic, and
challenges they would have to be averted and rekindled for
the sake of bringing them to life, even though it would be
normal to accept defeat. That tenacity of faith, is what we
hope, will be rekindled in you as you unfold the pages of thisbook because we will show how much of it is still residing in
you at this very hour.
We are talking about the attitude, words and actions
you choose in any given crisis that you face, and the fact
is, you are always in control of your behavior, and it is
a reflection of who you are subservient to, we are allsubservient to some one, or a belief system that transposes
our decisions, that is why we have introduced the concept
that mentorship has its privileges, and are endeavoring to
help retrain your thinking to believe that your tomorrows are
a reflection of your conceptions today. Therefore we suggest
that you evaluate your decisions about the finest detail
about your life, to begin and identify the areas that needadjustments.

you that is not easily agitated by the mishaps of life, but
being a superior product you have the ability to make a sound
judgment with a definitive precision.Achieving results in any viable endeavor may be
daunting at times, and can be very contrary to the norm, but
the end result is usually applauded even by the naysayer, so
it imperative that you find the will power and the tenacity to
bring it to pass. The reality of the new you coming to pass is
based on your submission and association to the King.
Let us say you want to travel to a foreign countrythat you had never been to, what would be your first moves?
Some of them would be, to make inquires about that place
of interest, which could include getting information from
someone that you thought had the information that was
reliable, that would ensure a safe journey.
Let us ay you wanted to learn to play an instrumenti.e. a guitar or piano you would make inquiries from some
one you thought had the answers to some of your initial
questions, and so it is with every other inquisition you might
have, the fact is the principles are the same, you would
inquire for results from some one who you thought was
trustworthy, or knew a thing or two about what you werelooking for, because deep within, when it comes to making
a decision to follow or get directions from someone who
has gone that pathway you want, you have to be instructed,
coached or mentored to get there.
There are direct and indirect mentors, every one or
every thing you listen to or whose drumbeat you dance to,
could be an indirect or direct mentor or coach take heedwhat you hear, your life decisions whether big or small are

which affects or influences your behavioral output, show me
your friends and Ill show you how you are thinking. Can you
begin to think of who your mentors are? If you have any orwho could be? Your habits and pleasures are a direct results
of the people, places or positions that you associate with, let
us take a look at the commercial industries for a lesson or
two.
In the wide open market place, consumers are eager
to spend their money for things that bring satisfaction or
pleasures, and as a result the advertising industries oftenfind well known popular persons that they can identify, that
would showcase or endorse their products, so that they can
create a certain emotional feeling with that product, so that
it would appeal to the general public. The rule of thumb is
if the public have a good feeling about that individual, then
their product could be a success, but if that person had a badpublicity report they would be pulled from that endorsement,
so that the company and the general public would be
protected. Products get their market support by the popular
persons that they can get to endorse it. That emphasis, is at
the heart of your true self, and it mirrors your value system
whether in business, career or family relationships, as thesaying goes, you cannot hang with turkeys and fly with eagles
at the same time, and there comes a time when you may have
to make an unpopular or controversial decision about your
life for the sake of influencing and defending the moral good
of humanity on a whole.

As I write this book I often think about the teachers, coaches
and mentors who influenced my own thinking, and for every
failed decision I made, I think of my wayward self and forevery achievement, I think of the persons who had a positive
influence, we all live and die by the choices that we make.
He was a fisherman and was introduced by a
compassionate caring and committed leader whose mission
was to empower the people that he would make contact with,
and he tells Peter follow me and I will make you (train you,
coach you, influence and affect you) to become fishers of men.How would; Peter go from fishing fish to be fishers of men?
He had to be taught by the world most influential leader on
the plight and need of humanity and hoped that they would
accept change. Peter would become a fisher of men
We are a product of the people or things that we hang
around there is greatness in all of us and for some it takestragedy and circumstance, for others it takes tenacity and
compassion, however the need of mankind is the same,
generation after generation.
In the greatest book ever written there are countless
reference points about those who chose to walk in the
shadows of great men and women and who themselvesbecame great, they lived in the same chaotic world like
you and I, yet there lives were transformed and changed
because at the height of the tumultuous controversy and
contradiction they followed, observed, and characterized their
decisions by a person or entity who had already achieved that
goal.

your life, and begin to emulate and submit to true spiritual
authority, those who may be able to guide you to a deep real
and radical relationship with God, because the essence ofit all, is not so much that you become great yourself, but
that you show some one else the path to greatness, with the
understanding, that we are all here by design for the purpose
of enriching the lives of our fellow man, and that is done by
electing to serve in another mans ministry or mission
Why should I become subservient to another persons
vision? There are many ways to answer that question, wellhave a more detail answer to that question in a later chapter,
but the essential powerful opportunity is that, you may learn
the art of commitment and submission you would expect
from those who would follow your example especially when
it is not comfortable. Let us look at a great reference point.
Luke 16: 12 If therefore you have not been faithful in thatwhich is another mans who shall give you that which is
your own, I did not want to get ahead of my self here but
I wanted to drive the emphasis that you must resolve your
commitment to faithfully serve in another persons vision for
the sake of getting promoted yourself, and the truth is we all
have the time to do so.Although this book is written in Houston Texas we
want to emphasize this important global principle, because,
there are mentors throughout the country and around the
world, if you are reading it outside of the USA there are
spiritual mentors in your own community that you can begin
to develop a relationship with, even those whom you had
despised through your own ignorance and rebellion, now maybe time to reconcile and begin to reconsider your position on
these important life changing principles.

You may be saying I am old and set in my ways and
that may be true, you can still adapt to the change, because
we shared with you the reality and the relevance of beingborn again and the conversion that takes place thus allowing
you to learn new information that is life transforming.
Another aspect of coaching can be found in your
local library, there is a vast amount of intellectual treasure
and wealth available in a local library and most require
your reading time or your can subscribe to the minimal
subscription available, which in most cases, it is actually free,you can actually just go there and understudy the authors
of great inventors builders and visionaries, who despite the
surmountable odds against them overcame their challenges
and were able to set the trail for others to follow, that may be
a great place to consider.
Some of you reading this book may be confined toa prison cell and that means that there are demanding
restrictions on your mobility, if within your confinement you
are allowed to receive literature, you can request information
from family friends or those in authority that may be granted
to you, as you desire to find help in seeking to build new
relationships, or if you have access to any media outlet thatare serving in real and radical spiritual matters you may be
permitted to request information from them and can become
transformed as you renew your mind for service within your
confinement, because as you do, you will find that your will
find courage and strength, and more so, you will begin to see
the need to help somebody else, at that time you can begin to
initiate a group study with others, and commit to these coreprinciples and watch your life change and then you will look
back at how a small decision has blossomed into influencing

Then there are some who are out there in the free
market place who need a sense of direction and purpose,this is where your life can go from the everyday beat down
challenges of consumer survival to a life spring of beauty
radiance and power with a strong determination that makes
a difference. It will be reflected in the little things that you
occupy your in, like being involved in your local church not
just as a nominal member but as someone that can be counted
on for volunteer service at will. And here is a real benefit toconsider, for those needing a why reason. Psalm 92:12-13;
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow
like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house
of the Lord shall flourish in the courts our God
Mentored by a Kingis really about bringing out
the best in you and the best from you so that those who reador hear about your life resume may consider, however, those
who know your resolve might know how and what to do to
overcome their own misfortunes, because life is really not
necessarily what happens to you but how you react to what
happens, which is based on your own perception, because
what you do is always a reflection of who you are subservientto. It is important that you embrace the mantle to become an
example of the believers in word in conversation in doctrine
thereby displaying the light that shines as a beacon of hope.
There is a powerful attraction about you, that has led
the Almighty God to invest His own Son to offer an eternal
sacrifice for you, your worth and value has an eternal destiny
that warrants you looking at life beyond the immediatediscomforts of what to, or not to do, it is about becoming
accountable to a leadership lifestyle that regenerates faith

that changes things, and unites family friends and builds
community.
The King for you, is to show you the new you that isdeep within, like the sea there is shallow water where humans
swim and surf, and then there is the deep water where ships
and submarines navigate, this analogy simply means that
shallow waters cannot contain ships but deep waters can,
this is what the King in you will be when you discover that
abundance of power in you, because of your deepness you
will have a compassionate caring and concern about the wellbeing of others, this is the new you, that is emboldened with
power within, but is also subject to true spiritual authority.
He was the greatest King who ever lived, but you
would always hear him say I am about my Fathers business
or he would say that I do the things I see my Father doing,
your mentor is actually living the lifestyle you want, or he iswhere you want to get to, so it becomes necessary to practice
his/her principles for purposeful behavioral change. This
information is really about spiritual change so it important
that we identify the scriptural verbatim that establishes this
pursuit.
He that is of God hears Gods words, and why wouldyou want to hear Gods word, for two profound reasons;
one; it has eternal value, and two; it answers your questions
because your security in life is never hinged on the things
that money can by but on the values initiated in His
commandments and the real you is not what is seen through
visualization but by the unseen characteristics invested at
the initial formation of man. Have someone ever said to youyou dont know me. and that may true but you may want to
debate that because the question is if I see you, how do you

Mentored by a King
say that you dont know me and the fact is our bodies are
simply a house that shells our invisibility, which is the real
you to which this statement holds true, 1cor 4; 18. While welook not at the things which are seen but the things which
are not seen, for the things which are seen are temporal; but
the things which are not seen are eternal.
Therefore, it is safe to say that there is more about a
person than what is physically noticed, which is the indelible
reason, why a man should never be judged on the basis of
his outward appearance, but on vast eternal investmentsforecasted even before he was made, only the maker of a
thing can define its purpose. Until you truly agree with
this truth, you cannot place the real premium value that is
attached to man.
His decisions are largely based on how he thinks, his
thinking is based on what is right in his own eyes therefore,there is the need for him to be retrained to think differently
about himself, in order for him maximize his opportunities,
there is more about you that is not known than what is visual,
the real you can be converted, renewed and adopted.
When we talk about the real you which is not seen,
we are talking about your spirit the invisible part about you,that capitulates life decisions, or your core value system
which has been trained to think a certain way up till now, it
is largely coherent to its environment which dominates its
behavioral patterns, so therefore, what if I was willing to
connect to new information that would necessitate change,
because change is the product of human effort sustained by
divine help (Dr I V Hilliard) and all men can change. Thatpneumatic view, is the sole reason why within the landscape
of this culture there is so much hope within the circles of

Christendom, because we believe, that the moral fortitude
that enrich our lives is the price we pay in our eternal
freedoms entitled by the right to worship the Almighty God.When you begin to discover the new you, it is
impossible to compare to the old, the new is filled with
optimism opportunities and opulence, the old is mired with
the corridors of complacency comparison and contention, it
is to your best interest to get connected to the interest of the
King, because when you do you will find faith purity family
and a passionate caring for others that will display the truecharacteristics that make him what He really is.
In the opening words of this chapter we started by
saying that mentorship has its privileges, so what are the
primary privileges you can expect to experience?
1. A profound promise that He will keep his word,therefore he can be trusted
2. A safe and secure pattern that will effect change
3. Your view of others will not be the same
4. Your dependence upon your King will not be
unrewarded
4. A guaranteed plan of action that will yieldmeasurable results
As you can see, the benefits of having a positive
spiritual mentor far out ways the alternative because it
brings you to a place of accountability and responsibility,
because you can mirror your own life by the core standards
in your mentor that are achievable, with the added ability tolift others from perishable predicaments, life is filled with
mishaps, mistrust, selfishness, and fragmentation and there

is definitely a need to generate more mentors within our
community, but the truth is not that there may be a shortage
of mentors but that there may be a lack of true scripturallybased mentors that are brave enough to take the courage to
lead in areas even across racial lines that bring new life and
energy that benefits our society on a whole.
This chapter cements the idea that we are not our own
and that true power comes through association. Lets look
at the reasons why some people form or become part of an
organization, like a chamber of commerce, an Ivy league, asorority, or even gangs, because the thinking is that there is
strength in numbers or that there is power in association,
it helps identify the way a person thinks, therefore it is
imperative that you align yourself with the one who not only
has your natural interest at heart but more importantly your
eternal destinationA scriptural spiritual mentor is a safe guide that will
lead you in the way you should go, He or she is the mirror
that foretells your future, he or she is a leader without which
has no followers. He or she is a visionary that initiates new
energy, and cultivates an expectation so that you can achieve
your desired goal.Let us revisit Peter one more time again, and analyze
his thinking, he was a fisher man that would turn into a fisher
of men, he would have to learn every thing possible about
that new vision initiated to him by the Messiah, therefore He
would have to become a tentative student to the one initiating
it, by observing and believing that it is possible to achieve. It
meant that he would have to make some adjustments in histhinking, after all he knew how to catch fish as a profession
crafted through experience, and I am sure that there were

times when he did not always experience a harvest, but now
he would be introduced to this new venture, that he had no
prior knowledge of.
Key statement: You do not have to have all the knowledge of
something for you to pursue and advance in that particular field.
Even though Peters lifestyle was more ingrown
and this new venture was quite the opposite, yet through
conversion, adaptation, saturation and consecration hewould become the catalyst for change, not only his life but
the multiplied millions of lives throughout past and present
generations, weve seen how one man can make a difference
and yes you can make a difference and we believe that the
information in this book is to serve as an eye opener to see
your value system to such level that you will begin to ask thequestion, where and how do I start.
Mentored by a Kingis written to help you see your
self as an instrument that can be molded for the purpose of
being used by God so that when you have passed this life you
will be remembered as one who made a difference.
Let us read this ancient truth: A mans life consistethnot in the abundance of things he possess. As I unfold the
secret truth in this, I found out that there are things about
me that are beyond me, that my real life is not sustained by
grits and groceries alone, and therefore it was worth the
effort in finding more definition to this and evaluating what
this other part of me is contained of and what it is sustained
by.The reality is that you have no real connection to
things, that they are tools for the use and service of man, real

value is best described by the one who makes it, if you can
accept and go past that theory you will begin to realize the
true value of your life and the potential investment in it, thatyou are a difference maker, that you can affect and influence
others, that you are important, that your life has both
meaning and purpose, these reinforcements are to help you
not only see your self in all that powerful light but it helps
you see children, young people, and others the same way, and
that the Kings interest in you is to guide you to become a
difference maker.Find a mentor and get as close to him or her as
possible, listen, observe commit and support, even though
you may not be able to get in their physical presence, you can
be mentored from afar, and watch your change and evolve.
Most successful people, even in the secular arenas, will
ascribe praise to a person who helped them became what theyachieved, be it entertainment, sports, business, or career, it is
simply because, when you associate with a person or an entity
you are able to glean and learn from them.
When you adopt that lifestyle change, every day that
you wake up you realize the fulfillment that is afforded to you
because of the other people whose lives you are able to touch,therefore your reasons for living is no longer what you can
get today, but rather what you can give; For it is said It is
more blessed to give than to receive.
Today, you can make a commitment to be converted
again, you are never to old or to young your mentor is
already existing find him or her and when you do, get as
much information you possible can listen to or read, becomeadaptable, your life will grow to new heights and new levels
you will become king like because your true identity is kingship.

Life has no real guarantees except what is
implied applied, believed and applied therefore there are
responsibilities on my part in order for me to get the benefit.Let us look at an example, you purchased an item from
a retail outlet and the manufacturer implies that there is
warranty to this product, but you must fill out a form so that
the manufacturer can ascertain who the beneficiary to that
guarantee is, so within a set period of time you must send
the information in so that the manufacture can assign the
guarantee to the product, having said that, do you know thateven though the manufacture has implied such guarantee, and
you are entitled to one, it is of no effect to you except you
follow the instructions, the guarantee is void even though the
purchaser is entitled to one, until the consumer takes action
and follow the specific instructions he cannot benefit form
what is entitled to him.Let us look at another example; there are many
prestigious acclamations for a person becoming a medical
doctor, the prestige, notoriety and respect is worth noting,
but until one chooses to spend time in medical training and
develops mental focus, that benefit is not available to you. In
order words without a full commitment in any thing for anything to anything you will have miserable results.

a full commitment to these principles you should experience
real success.
1. This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth butyou shall meditate on it day and night that you may observe to do
according to all that is written therein, for then thou shall make thy
way prosperous and then thou shall have good success
2. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the
ungodly nor standeth in the way of sinners nor sitteth in the sit of
the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord and in his
law he meditates day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted
by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
3. Therefore I say unto you take no thought for your life saying
what shall ye eat or what shall ye drink nor yet for the body whatshall ye put on. But seek ye first the kingdom of God and all His
righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
4. Beloved, I wish above all things that ye prosper and be in
health as thy soul prospers.
Let us look at the common thread interwoven within the
foregone, we see that success has been promised in each
of the text, but for me to benefit. I have to do something,
Blessed is he who heareth my word and doeth it, we said that
there are no failures here and that may sound paradoxical,
but it is not, because when we say that there are no failures
here, we do not identify it to a person but an event, so if youfailed at something in the past it was not you who failed but
the thing. If you look at it from that perspective it becomes

easy to restart your life where you are and begin fresh again
as if to say you did not even experience failure at all, because
the reality is every moment is a fresh new beginning.In looking at the four, foregone pearls we see that
there are guarantees implied but in order for me to benefit
I have to do some practical thing, and until I do what is
required of me to do on a consistent basis the guarantees
are void, however when they are performed we are saying
that there are no failures here.
We see the promises implied by the promisor but for itto be constituted to you, youll have to ensure that it lives in
your being.
In the first pearl we saw that the King tells the
protg what he must do Meditate in the word day
and night, and this is explained more in detail, but it is
suggesting that the word of God becomes your internalcommercial consistently, in the second pearl we see that he
is telling you do not have real close relationships with those
who oppose righteousness, or who are not thinking along
the same lines, in the third one we see that He is describing
a person whose heart is established and the outcome and
in the fourth pearl we see the ablaze to the one who iscommitted in righteousness, these compound truths are the
bedrock within the fundamental body of Christ and works
for the person who is wiling to work them
Let us look at the practicality of what is implied to see
how you could benefit, if you watch television lately there is
something very rewarding for the producers, that is, they are
able to capture the minds of the viewers by the value of thecommercials, they are in constant repetition, some are very
funny I especially like the geico commercial, the point is, it is

played over and over again so that it forms an image in your
mind about the validity offer, and in most cases it becomes
what you generally accept as true or trustworthy,It becomes that through repetition, although you
might not know any thing about their validity, yet you tend
to believe it because of its repetition.
Having established this let us see what it means in this
context, because it is the fundamentals in this book, the King
wants you to have what he has, wants you to see what he
sees, and want you to do what he does, and so his languagehis lifestyle and his legacy has to be adopted in place of
yours.
Let us visit Joshua, Moses was dead and the Israelites
needed a leader so Joshua who lived in the shadows of
Moses had to take the reigns in leading the people, all eyes
is now on him, Moses had not completed the vision andthere could have been elements of frustration, therefore in
order for Joshua to succeed he needed to demonstrate his
commitment to spiritual authority, Moses is dead, so he
could not depend on him however the vision had to go on,
so therefore Joshua had to see himself just as Moses saw
himself. The antidote for his success in leading the peoplewas to take the word of God at face value and play it in his
heart and mind day and night like a commercial, until he
saw himself becoming what was promised in the Word, it
was where his strength would come, and it was what would
establish his resolve.
What happens to a person who hangs around
something or some one you become it, like a commercialplayed over and over again you tend to believe it, it is so in
your own life, the brands you pay for and wear, the music

you listen to and the neighborhoods you live or want to live
in, it is primarily based on what you hear and believed, it is
the reliance upon information you heard, and the testimonyof others stuck with you, and you acted on it and in many
cases, in your life you are the end product of what you
believe.
Joshuas success was tied to meditation in the book of
the law day and night so that the profound reinforcements
implied, would leap from the literacy and into his heart and
mind and become all he was destined to become, and so it iswith you, what if you took the same commandment and do
it, what would you become?
Let us say that Joshua took the book of the law and
did it for one full day and all day long but stopped. He would
not be able to extend to the height or level that he could
become which is hidden within the whole commitment.We see that there is a guarantee that he would succeed
but we also see a requirement for that guarantee to take
effect.
Let us look at another pearl. Blessed is the man that
walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor sitteth in the
seat of the scornful nor standeth in the way of the sinnersbut his delight is in the law of the lord and he shall be
like a tree planted by the waters that brings fruit in his
season.
Again we see a guarantee implied but a requirement is
necessary to bring it to pass, and often time your resolution
may be to go alone until you can find others who believe
what you believe, however the end result is always aboutpreparing you for the future. This text also gives you the
picture of a tree bearing fruit, but the things to note is that
-

Mentored by a King
it is planted in nutritious soil that causes it to grow and
blossom so that others can benefit from its fruit, although
the fruit is what is enjoyed sometimes we fail to see what itis planted by.
I said that there are no failures here, which is
indicative of your full commitment to the foregone
principles that will produce the desired results, you have to
commit to it.
Let us look at the third pearl Take no thought for
your life what you shall eat drink or put o, but seek ye firstthe kingdom of God and all his righteousness and all these
things shall be added unto you, again we see the guarantee
for fulfillment but a full commitment is required on your
part so that you will succeed. This ultimate guarantee is
instructing you to put your priorities right, that you make
His business your business as a first priority, that His willbecomes your will, and the residue will be you will be
provided for. I like to say it this way those things are already
in the ware house with your name on it, you lay claim to it
by your obedience.
The fourth pearl indicates that your success or
prosperity is surged when your soul prospers meaning whenyou meditate in the word day and night you become the
power house of force that cannot be shaken. The prosperity
of your soul is a matter of your responsibility, but as that
happens you will have the language and will power to make
the claim that comes through association and submission to
your King.
Let us see two reference points; One: He that believethon me out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. Two:
Therefore whoso heareth this sayings of mine and doeth

them Ill show what he is like, he is like a man who build his
house on a rock and the floods came and the winds blew and
beat upon that house and it fell not for it was founded upon arock.
Your life total fulfillment and success is definitely
tied to your commitment and obedience to true spiritual
authority.
Within the passages outlined, are forecasted promises
of success implied by your
King, but He requires you to execute them by yourallegiance surrender and obedience, therefore we cannot
judge or desire another persons success by covetousness
or jealousy but rather take your rightful place of true
commitment and service in the Kings domain and let his
word become the reality in your life, because he keeps his
word, when you do, and teach others he will take you bythe hand, and say to you, well done thou good and faithful
servant enter thou into the joy of the Lord Mat 25; 23
He said Heaven and earth shall pass away but my
word shall never pass away
I know you want guarantees that are trustworthy, I
encourage you to begin to see your life as an instrumentin the masters hand well equipped for service and as are
a beneficiary of the commitments to righteousness as it is
implied by your King, because in his kingdom there are no
failures here;

chapter 6
Like Father Like Son
Mentored by a King, has many variations ofemotionalism, because of the contrast involved in the
relationship, the Father is well advanced and knows it all,
and the son has to be retrained to think like the Father; TheFather has to have compassion and patience with the son
because of the ignorance and naive ness of the son, these
ambiguities can be strenuous in the relationship for a while
in retrospect to the Fathers expectation, you see the Father
knows it all and the son has a road to travel, the training and
adaptation process has to go on because the Father a vestedinterest in the development of the son, the son has to learn
discipline through obedience.

Let us take a look at the relationship between Jesus
and the Almighty Father and the teaching on prayer; In
his teaching he says when you pray say Our Father tomean that you do have access to that quality relationship
whether you are aware of, or function in its accessibility,
that opportunity was not available to humanity in its full
understanding prior to it being introduced by Christ.
When he came to earth as the son of God the
relationship was heavily guarded because of what he learned
and understood about commitment, that as an example Hewas extremely committed to his Fathers will being done,
even when there were extremely difficult request made by
the Father; He faced the cross and asked that this cup passed
but said nevertheless not my will but thine be done Let
us look at the validity of the kind of relationship that was
intact through this other story: The dead man sisters hadclose relationship with him, but that dead man who was
their brother, was also a friend to him, they had heard or
seen the many miracles that had taken place and so they held
him accountable in part for their brothers death by saying
if thou had been there our brother would not have died
with their requisition at hand, and his commitment to thatrelationship they went to the grave where he was laid, and
asked one of his sisters to move the stone , and at that time
he says something very profound,
Father I thank thee that thou has heard me, and I know
that thou heareth me always John 11: 41b-42aalthough he
was moved because of the relationship with that family,
the emphasis here, is to highlight the magnitude of therelationship between the Father and the Son, when He
said that I know that thou always hear me when I pray,

imposes the fact is that relationship was heavily guarded
and protected by both the Father and the son, so that there
would be no interference in the free flow of communicationbetween them.
He was tempted on earth just like you and me, for
example when he was reviled, persecuted, prosecuted,
stoned, spat on talked ill will about he did not again but
committed himself to him that judge righteously. It must
be understood that this relationship had to be unequivocally
secure in order that the request to raise Lazarus fromthe dead would be granted by asking, mentored by a
King is written for the sole purpose of bringing you in a
right relationship with God to the place where you will
be elevated beyond the immediate discomforts of life
and become a refuge to others. Your relationship to your
heavenly Father is critical because of the people and placeshe wants to take you to, and believe it or not we are living
in a chaotic world and great questions are only answered by
those who are committed to the principles found in a right
relationship with Him.
Like Father like Son is really about identifying the real
truth about you so that you can make adjustments in yourrelationship with your heavenly Father, through your local
church with a full commitment to your Pastors vision. This
chapter will also give illumination and definition about what
contributes to certain behavioral patterns, why do people do
the things that that they do, Let us look at this text: if you
abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what
ye will and it shall be done unto you.Herein is the antidote for lifestyle change and the
results you can expect, in this text there is a firm promise

and a commitment by the father to you, however the sons
lifestyle must be under the watchful guard of the word,
(Gods Word) when you make that commitment, you willexperience an abundance of favoritism with your Father.
At this point I want to emphasize the extreme
importance of cultivating and developing that relationship,
through a practical commitment to your local church
because you may be reading this book and enjoying it but
still feel you are on the outside.
In the following chapter we will go into more detailabout the acceptance process but for now I want to introduce
this grand invitation to you John 1:12 But as many as
received him to them he gave the right to become the sons
of God even to them that believe on his name, believe it or
not this open invite is for all mankind and you can do this
through the process of adoption as we described in theprevious chapter and you do not have to let any one talk you
out of this grand opportunity of son ship, because there are
many secret privileges afforded to you.
You may have done some horrible things in the past
but if you confess your sins he is faithful and just to forgive
you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness. 1John 1:9I must recognize that it is vitally important that I
accept responsibility to ask forgiveness for the things I did
deliberately or through ignorance so that I can lay claim to
that perfect opportunity of representing him in the earth,
Like Father like son, this about bringing you in alignment
with a pure relationship with your Heavenly Father because
although he has certain high expectations he is not goingto condemn you, but forgive you so that you can reflect the
beauty radiance and newness of living.

Let us look at this text: any man in Christ is a new
creature old things are past away and all things are become
new 2cor 5;17. I believe that there is someone reading thisbook and finding new hope because this is about a total
reconnection to the real you.
The fact is you were created and design to be in
fellowship with your King and to radiate his glory in the
earth because there is a false sense of belief that is chipping
away at your true value system that are appearing as true
that is? If, and when you can accumulate or have such andsuch you will be happy.
Let me re-echo this again as have already been stated
that we should make man in our own image and likeness that
the reality is you are more like your Heavenly Father than
you are displaying and that there is true greatness, beauty
and power in you than you are aware of, a commitmenton your part to discover that reality will definitely be
overwhelming. By design you are a supernatural being, there
are some who would differ with that assertion, but I believe
that because of my make up, and the reality is you are a son/
servant to some one right now, just check your own fruit,
however the purpose of this chapter is to illuminate theinvitation process so that you will make a quality decision
once you are exposed to proper information.
The foregone is about emphasizing the fact that you
have a true living and eternal King who is ready to receive
you, help you, and change you into the person you were
destined to be.

remarkable difference amidst your challenges thus bringing
