Mentor-Me-Jesus (MMJ) is a bible study structure that allows individuals to learn directly from the footprints of Jesus through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. With an initial focus on the book of ”Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John”. We chose to start with these four scriptures because these scriptures have a record of Jesus being present on the earth realm before ascension. Mentor-Me-Jesus (MMJ) is intended to help individuals gain a vast understanding and insight to;
Prerequisite required to gain the best from Mentor-Me-Jesus (MMJ).
In other to successfully gain the relevant insight from MMJ you need to have a sound relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Why do I need a sound relationship with the Holy Spirit?
The Holy Spirit is the channel through whom we are granted access to the character, personality, countenance, etc of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:11 (AMP), For what person knows the thoughts and motives of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So also no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
How do I build and maintain a sound relationship with the Holy Spirit?
1) The first stage of building a relationship with the Holy Spirit is by accepting the finished work of our Lord Jesus on the cross ”Salvation” (if you have not done it, CLICK THIS LINK to do it now).
2) Familiarize yourself with the Scriptures, because the Holy Spirit will speak to you through the scriptures. You can experience the Holy Ghost with the utterance of speaking in tongues ( our heavenly language) at the very moment you say yes to Christ. It can be at baptism just like Jesus, it can be much earlier or much later like the saint in Ephesus (Acts 19 verse 1 and 2). It is determined by your readiness to receive.
3) Live a life of holiness because;
- Holiness fosters intimacy with God and builds spiritual strength and stability (Psalm 15:1-6)
- Holiness makes us useful and effective for God’s purposes (2 Timothy 2:20-26)
- Holiness in your life causes people around you to glorify God (1 Peter 2:9-12)
4) Pray that the Lord will fill you with His Spirit and empower you to walk by the Spirit. Then watch and listen for opportunities to obey the Spirit’s promptings.

Overview: John’s Gospel is an account of the ministry and testimony of Christ Jesus. Most of John’s account is unique, with over ninety percent being original. While the other three gospels focus on the works and word of Jesus, John’s testimony does not contain much of such fundamental materials. It (may) be that it was written to members of the Church who were familiar with Christ in other to provoke and increase faith. His emphasis was more on the deity and identity of Jesus Christ.
