Mentoring Ministry

I’m Dr. Bob and for just a Mentoring Minute, I want to share a saying that the U.S. Navy seals have. The Navy Seals are a group of highly trained war fighters. They are among the best military forces in the world. They have a saying, “Second place is first losers.” They have the attitude that being a winner is their expectation. They accept nothing less. Within their hearts, they are champions… and they are! In 1 Samuel, Chapter 45, verses 45-47, David said this to the Philistine. “This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you… {47b} for the battle is the Lord’s, and He will give you into our hands.”” Here is the truth. Champions do battle with the expectation that they will not lose. Keep telling this to yourself, the devil and anyone else who will listen, “First place is for winners and that is who I am. Second place is first losers” and that is not who I am.” While you are at it, declare that you are a “can do” Christian. Speak this truth from Philippians 4:13 (NKJV), which declares, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” I’m Dr. Bob. That is a Mentoring Minute for champions like you.
