I have learned that our calling differs and we have different spiritual gifts for the benefit of the church. Another key aspect is to know how to hear God’s voice and whatever we do should be in line with God’s main purpose.
This course offers a thoughtful and spiritually enriching exploration of how God calls individuals into partnership with Him. Through teachings by Regan and insightful interviews with guests like Rhys & Amy Evans, Ben, and Malcolm, the course emphasizes that God’s call is deeply personal, often unfolding over time, and always grounded in relationship. The discussions around Scripture—particularly Philippians 2 and 1 Peter 2—encourage reflection and practical engagement. It’s a well-rounded course that challenges and equips believers to listen for God’s voice, grow in faith, and step confidently into their unique calling.
I have learnt a lot but I would to share this which I have benefit in my life start from from now and forever.
First of we are invited in the kingdom of God once we recognised our gifts should be in single handed because gifts can increase in a season.
Secondly ,recognise the voice of God , hearing voice of God, desire to hear him and willing to to obey him aswell.
Our levels of abandonment to God determine God’s level of direction to us .we need to have faith ( Hebrews 11: 6)
We need to be still and listen, recognise voice how God speaks.(Luke 10:38-42)
– we need to develop a sensitivity to his presence and involving God in everything we do (1John2:6)
I have learnt also that we all need each other “no man is an Island”
We need ti Listen to others but mist of all to God
I have learnt about ministry, we can find five folds ( Ephesians 4 :11)”so christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets ,the Evangelists the pastors and teachers, to equipment his people for works of services, so that the body of christ maybe built and in the knowledge of the son of Gid and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Lastly , I have learnt one of the ways we’ll know what you’re called to is by asking yourself ” what breaks my heart?”
– usually what breaks your heart is what you’re gifted to do something about..
We need to invo God in everything we do.
Hello Godly Good News Sowers!
Sincerely,the only robe of Jesus written King of kings and again Lord of Lords (Rev.19:16) can meet neatly found anointed,heartfelt and holy spirited team of exceptional abilities that research, resource,retool and refresh biblically set students impactful and persistently power leading lessons that I enjoyed and rejoiced completely in Jesus name.
Regan’s expounded opening lesson on what is a call was meaningfully taught to even the eventual unit;Called to Go,descriptively arguing on outreaching attractively and not extracting sheep but making disciples who in what in how they hear would go and fish other men until the world ends are served in the Lord’s Original calling amen.
Too,President BRENDAN clearly explained logically how the anointing,heart and abilities zones are interdependently connected in Jesus confession while singling out that the heart is more an undying power unlike the passion which dies as in case of those who respond to God’s Call as a money need or as an investment for personal or a public proportionate property.(Exceedingly exciting).
Finally Kay Dohle’s lesson on whether God communicate to us today and proving that He does continuously whether we responsibly hear or not and worth noting that if God speaks gently we should carefully listen to His voice.
Matthew 3:17,1Kings 19(Elijah’s zeal to come to God and die for God’s altars were torn,Prophets killed except him and israelites disobedience to God’s covenants…Kay, instructed truly God was not found in noisy tearing of mountain,earthquakes and fire but came in a gentle wind asking why Elijah was at the cave’s door…
Really,to exhaust my understanding is that this program is inevitably resourceful, empowering,scriptural an appointed God sent powerful hearts,minds,souls and positions strengthening while building fishers of men who will live in the Church Jesus foresaw coming and prayed for (John 17) and here we have come to disciple others amen.
God bless AXX program,a mysteric Gifted Grace team to spiritually envision globally seamless churches that technologically connect by your now seen Heavenly secrets known by those who fear you and witness your truth hallelujah.My Almighty God donate every asset they need to expand into unexpected territories returning thousands thirst for you our saviour forever amen.
Widely keep their door opening keys by your word and may no one shut what they open to thirsty disciples now and in the future’s end you set at their beginning amen.(Isaiah 46:10.)
God bless you team AXX prosperously and successfully in all you courageously obey,preach and teach in the Lord God.
Joshua 1:7-8.
Thanks for this wonderful topic. I have gone through the lesson and I saw that I it looks like the lesson was made for me. all the lectures seriously talk about me.but I thank God that I have heard what it means. I have been hearing this voice of God that you need to wake up and work for me but if try small I will stop. but something will keep telling me that this is the only way you must follow in live to make it. I love all the preachers of the gospel and one thing keep telling me that you are made to be like them. Since I struggled to obey that voice. Even people around me also tells me that you have the calling of God. Now I am very convinced that I am made and called. I will waste no time any longer to start the work of God so that I will have rest of mind. Since i was in school i have been longing how to be a preacher. i love to read Bible, thanks for this experience.
The lecture has demonstrated huge and very important issues to me. I am able to define ministry as service and I have learnt that a call can be general and specific. Obedience to the call is the key to fulfilling ministry. There are unusual callings such as Hosea married a prostitute and John Baptist went into wilderness and started preaching about repentance and people were flocking to him. His diet was honey and locusts. Now I am able to know pitfalls to hearing from God such as being busy and overcrowded thereby failing to listen to God. Finally the kingdom is about king, land and citizens.
This module is an in-depth unpacking of the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20. It has had profound effect on my thinking from understanding with greater clarity what “calling” is to embracing my Spiritual gifts, to hearing the voice of God and how to bear much fruit (John 15). One of the most enlightening course I have done to-date.
Generally this section has really opened me up some realities regarding God’s call on me and the His demand on me to be fruitful in my Ministry through His anointing on me, His ability giving to me and application of passion heart in my Ministry Zone. This has also taught to learn to recognize His voice because God speaks in diverse and different ways to my spirit and at times when God seems silent to me, i should first check to see if am the problem and if not then i just need to keep on doing the right things and get closer to Him (GOD). Perhaps He doesn’t need to direct me further at that moment. This is therefore, a great checks on my relationship with Him.
Besides, this has also taught me to be Kingdom minded by changing my earlier perspective of self into involving community around me thereby using my God’s giving abilities and His gifting in Ministry to promote His Kingdom business.
All the lecturers and the persons in the interview in this section of the course were fantastic and well vast in experience and am blessed of what came out of them.
Regards to you all.
In that course, I was blinder , I ‘ve seen the words of God as superficial and narrow or the traditional manners. God bless Axx Bible College for their work.
First what’s a call? God’s call as an invitation to partnership, we are to become God’s Co -workers; we work along side Him . In relationship with him. Find ourselves only in following God’s call on our purpose is to glorify God and enjoy him forever . What we think our identity and calling is may not be accurate. So how God call us ? It could be a variety of ways, different for each person , even several different ways for the one person . God’s method are not fixed.
Ministry being f6 others and Building up the church , it’s necessary oriented to wards others rather than being a vehicle to serve ourselves. Part of that orientation , towards others is to build up God’s people, the ministry being “for the glory of God” , our purpose for existence is to glorify God and in that sense all of us are called to ministry. The kind of picture of ministry present us ministry includes all kinds of activities inside and outside the church on any day of the week.
Understanding mission is when we get mission from God himself, the church it’s an instrument for mission. God has a mission , because He calls us to something , His mission that we are part of. General & Specific call, they are things that are mandated to all believers in the scriptures; then the relationship between calling and timing , we may receive a call but some waiting may result , we may have only part of the information at first.
God’s going to keep working in us so we need to keep responding to that and our calls is made , clarified and carried out in this context. And we need to respond to God’s call, replying on Christ’s word , about our call is in the context of our relationship with God. You have to get the general call right first before the specific call can work properly , you need to , immerse yourself first and foremost in being a Jesus follower. We have all been given the ministry of reconciliation, this must come through in all that we do in ministry. The equation being a Christian = being a disciple= being a disciple marker. And the end goal of a disciple is to be like Jesus , to do what He did , to teach what He taught.
Allowing scripture to define & direct It indicates that we each have a place is what God is constructing and bringing to be , each have a part to play in what God’s doing.
The three things can help us allow scripture to define and direct : Have a favourite guiding verse , Meditate on scripture , Study scripture.
Market place Ministry we are recommended to to draw attention to God by our deeds which should be seen by others in the world. So The market place is an excellent example of where this can take place.
Communities Based Ministry as part of our general calling, that social responsibility is a necessary part of being a follower of Jesus., this is the place of highest responsibility and influence in our calling and also greatest realisation that It is something that covers all stage to some extent and we are all called to this is a foundation stage where the call is accepted and skills are being developed but we don’t yet have platform of the later roles.
Ministry zone 1 , encourage up , increased , produced fruits.
The anointing zone , we need to distinguish anointing from what we’d like to do, In abilities you need to identify what your natural abilities are and work hard on developing and practicing them.
Minister in your anointing dev6 your abilities , like your dreams – keep your heart soft. The emotional rollercoaster is when your heart is not in your ministry this can lead to the emotional rollercoaster which in turn can result in the cases and strain of that ministry choking you metaphorically speaking , grace zone this is where your anointing meets y8 abilities and your heart in the one place , and “100 fold” fruitfulness is the result. Hearing the voice of God , is speaking to you and me the questions is more importantly whether or not we are listening. He desire to communicate with us, that we like sheep learn to recognize our shepherd ‘s voice. How to hear the voice of God, we need to exercise various spiritual disciplines such as reading scripture , prayer, speaking in tongues and fasting to help us hear God’s voice.
A Kingdom perspective, we are each part of the body of Christ and what we do affects others. The Kingdom means , God’s dream society on earth , encompassing the whole world. God’s will being done on earth.
“God’s Call My Response” has reawakened a deep sense of my understanding regarding my part in God’s mission of reconciling the world to Himself. I understood from the lectures that I have a critical role to play both in God’s General Call and Specific call which encompasses church based, marketplace, and community based ministries. To participate fully in these will require my abilities, my heart and the anointing of God that culminate in placing me in the grace zone to bear fruit and multiply. The condition of my heart is very crucial in doing ministry that will glorify God in whatever calling He has graciously assigned me. I pray for grace to glorify Him in all my endeavors.
I don’t know where to begin, but this course has taken me down memory lane and brought my entire life before my eyes. I grew up in a very remote community where the only church/denomination was the Roman Catholic Church. We all admired the priests and nuns who came monthly to teach us the Word of God. I remembered someone telling me in my dream I would be like them one day. I dismissed the dream because I did not want to be a priest. I came from the village. My parents were poor. I wanted to go to school and get a profession that would give me enough money to take care of my parents and siblings. While I admired the priests for the work they did, I did not want to be one of them because they were “poor.”
I heard the voice of God, but I did not listen. I pursued education for the sake of getting a well-paid job. I completed high school and enrolled in college the following year, majoring in Biology because I wanted to become a medical doctor. During the third phase of hostilities among the different warring factions during our civil war, all schools came to a close. This was after I had spent two years in college. I became internally displaced in the suburb of the city where the hostilities were not severe. In my newly displaced home where there were fifteen of us sharing a two-bedroom house, I felt a compelling need to start a morning and evening devotion. I was afraid. I did not know the Bible, but the voice kept pushing me. One day I talked to a friend about this, and he said he was thinking the same way. I believe this was a confirmation. We held the first devotion the following morning. Everyone said I should lead the devotion since it was my idea. I can never forget what the Lord did! The devotion grew from five persons on the first morning to eleven persons over four months. The devotion grew into a neighborhood fellowship as other people in the neighborhood started joining us. One of the neighbors offered us her porch which could accommodate about 35 persons, and we started meeting for weekly Bible studies. All of these took six months to unfold. When school re-opened, I was torn between the decision of whether to go back to school or to pursue the work of the ministry. When I considered what God was doing, the hunger and commitment of the people to the Word of God, and the sacrifices they were making to come for Bible studies, I felt guilty about abandoning them to go back to school. I decided to enroll in a Bible training school to be trained as a pastor. This is how I got into ministry and founded the Foundation in Christ Fellowship Church in Liberia. By God’s special grace, we now run three churches and a school that has an enrollment of 267 children.
Why this long narrative? It is in light of the impression this course has left on me, and what I have learned about the call of God. One important truth I learned is that the call of God is consistent. All through the many years since I had the dream, that little voice was always in my ears. His call has quality, spirit, and content. To hear God I needed to listen to Him, which I could not do for many years. I left him out of my plans. Then, I learned that God uses circumstances to clarify His call upon our lives. This course has helped me to take a deeper reflection on God’s dealings with me to accomplish His purpose for my life. I am challenged to abandon myself to Him and serve Him diligently and faithfully.
It is a great privilege to be a trainee in this extraordinary platform I believe God led me here. I am blessed with new insight about new ideas about Biblical leadership in particular “personal and team leader”. As a pastor this particular course – God’s call your response, equipped me with new understanding of God’s calling, and my response to that call, hear God’s voice, and many more.. Thank you
I am glad I joined this wonderful and inspiring platform where a learn a lot about the word of God as regarding call, gifting and how to know and hearing the voice of God.
It was a pleasure and honor to be part of this.
Thank you for impacting me with this hidden revelation.
This subject has opened up my understanding of God’s call your response a lot of very wonderful teaching advancing my knowledge about God’s word in my life. We learnt what is a call? God’s call as an invitation to partnership , we are to become God8 co Workers , we Works a long side Him. In relationship with him. Fin ourselves only in following God’s call on our purpose is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. What we think our identity and calling is may not be accur6. Rather out who are truly are and what our purpose really is. So how God call us? It could be a vari6 of ways , different for each person , even several different ways for the one person . God’s method are not fixed.
Ministry being for others and Building up the church, it’s nec8 oriented to wards others rather than being a vehicle to serve outselves. Part of that orientation, towards others is to build up God’s people ; the ministry being for the glory of God, our purpose for existence is to glorify God and in that sense all of us are called to mini5. God’s involved in all the details of our lives whatever we do . The kind of picture of ministry present us ministry includes all kinds of activities inside and outside the church on any day of the week. These activities have certains characteristics.
Understanding missi6 is when we get mission from 4 himself, not from church there’s church because there is mission the church is an instrument for mission. God has a mission because He calls us to something, His mission that We are part of.
General & Specific call are because they are things that are mandated to all believers in the scripture. The relationship between general and specific calls, we each have both , but a specific call should never overshadow our general call mandate; then the relationship between calling and timing ,we may receive a call but some waiting may result , or we may have only part of the info at first. This is or and often we gr8 as a result of dealing with this tension. Obedience, Paul said to Philippians and noted the phrase continue to workout your salvation….(Phil.2:12-14).
God’s going to keep working in us so we need to keep responding to that and call is made, clarified and carried out in this context. A8 we need to respond to God’s call , replying on christ is Word and to clinging to it as offering great security than all the securities in the world.
The important about our call is in the context of our relationship with God. The unique aspect of ministry is following God’s call to ministry often doesn’t look like the traditional picture that many people have in their heads. You need to be prepared to do things that some consider not normal. So you have to get the general call right first before the specific call can work properly, you need to immerse yourself first and foremost in being a Jesus followers. We have all been given the ministry of reconciliation which is very important, and this must come through in all that we do in ministry. The equation being a Christian =Being a disciple= Being a disciple Maker. And the end goal of a disciple is to be like Jesus , to do what He did , to teach what He tau8.
Allowing Scripture to define,& dire6 it indicates that we each have a place is what God is constructing and bringing to be. We each have a part to pl5 in what God is doing.
The three things can help us allow scripture to define and direct : Have 3 favourite guiding verses, meditate on scripture, study scripture.
A historical look at ministry with distinction the value of calling to clergy and calling to other services continued for many centuries, the reformers called people back to the authority of scripture and found there no basis for this kind of thinking.
Church based ministry mention of the Levites, their role was to minister to the people of God and in their place of gathering; the church should be to equipe people, to do two things , Minister & care each other , understand & fulfill their part in the mission of God.
Market place Ministry we are recommended to draw attention to God by our deeds which should be seen by others in the world. So the market place is an excellent example of where this can take place. About market place Ministry Paul’s said in Colossians 3:23-24 that in these very he encourages beli8 to glo8 God in their roles, no matter what their status or position in society. Communities Based Ministry as part of our general calling, that social responsibility is a necessary part of being a followers of Jesus. You can have Jesus as Lord and ignore it. In Luke 4:18-19. Jesus himself defined his ministry in terms of reaching out to and helping the marginalised in his community as disciples of Jesus we must do the same. The platform for the call – influence, this is the place of highest responsibility and influence in our calling and also greatest realization, that it’s something that covers all stage to some extent and we are all called to this no matter what our calling and for the shepherd stage, this is a foundation stage where the call is accepted and skills are being developed but we don’t yet have platform of the later roles.
Unusual calling about these 3 weird calling from the Bible , God doesn’t always follow the formula don’t rule it out just because it’s weird.
Ministry zone 1 encourages us to focus are we producing fruit, there are food ground: spran8 up , increased, produced fruit. In parable of the sower, this is a miraculous yuld than couldn’t be achieved by natural means. In heart zone , often our choices are strongly influenced by our need to provide for families or acquire resources. If you take this away y9 may 6 left with a clear picture of what you passion is.
The anointing zone , we need to distinguish anoi6 from what we36 like to do, in abil6 you need to identify what your Nate abilities are and work hard on developing and practicing them. We are aiming for an area of interdependant fruitfulness bring the three zone together and producing the miraculous 100 fold.
Minister in your anointing develop your abilities, like your dreams – keep your heart soft. The emotional rollercoaster is when your heart is not in your ministry this c6 lead to the emotional rollercoaster which in turn can result in the cases a8 strain of that ministry choking you metaphorically speaking, Grace zone this is where your snow meets your abilities and you heart in the one plan, and 100 fold fruitfulness is the results. Hearings the voice of God, God is speaking to you and me the questions is more importantly whether 6 not we are listening. He desire to communicate with us, God by his very nature wants relationship with us and relationship requ8 communication. God must certainly communicate with us often. Recognizing voice of God, John 10:2-4: that we. like sheep learn to recognise our shepherd ‘s voice over time, that is by experience. How to hear the voice of God, we need to exercise various spiritual disciplines such as reading scripture, prayer, speaking in tongues and fasting to help us hear God’s voice.
Involving God in your deck in sleeping with Hagar, Abraham was trying to fulfill the promise of God made to him about having descendants, but he made that dec6 without consulting God 6 it wasn’t what GOD had in mind , and the rest were neg6. So God’s calling on our life is not only about what God wants us to do but also about who He wants us to be.
A Kingdom perspective, we are each part of the body of Christ and God’s people Living together before God. The Kingdom means, God’s dream society on earth, encompassing the whole world – God’s will being done on earth.
Embarking on the journey of responding to God’s call has been both exhilarating and humbling—a sacred adventure filled with moments of clarity, challenge, and transformation. In the stillness of prayer and the whispers of the heart, I’ve heard the gentle prompting of God’s voice, beckoning me to step out in faith and obedience.
What sets this journey apart is the profound sense of purpose and fulfilment that accompanies each step taken in response to God’s call. Whether it’s a call to serve, to love, or to surrender, I’ve discovered that saying “yes” to God’s invitation opens doors to unimaginable blessings and opportunities for growth.
Answering the Divine Invitation is not just a one-time decision—it’s a lifelong commitment—a journey of surrender and obedience that leads to the abundant life God promises to those who follow Him wholeheartedly. I am grateful for the opportunity to walk this path of faith, and I eagerly anticipate the adventures that lie ahead as I continue to respond to God’s call with a willing and open heart.
It is when my wife got sick in the year 2011 in may, I dream like I was praying for her and she got healed immediately but ignored, after some days I tried to pray for her fortunately she get healed within two days, so is when I started attending the church services.
It was in may 2011 when my wife got sick, by then I was not attending any Church services, so during the night I dream like am praying to the sick wife and get healed at the same sport and then wake up, after some days when I saw my wife is still suffering I tried to pray and she get healed within few days for there I started praising the Lord.
Thank you for this opportunity. My testimony is based on appreciating the lectures been given, really they are a life edifying to make one understand and truly illuminating. Have seen have heard have followed the lectures on me the most impact of it all is pointing me to understand the call of God over my life and shaping into it in order to always rightly dividing the word of truth, am built and still been. Thank you very much.
God calls all of us to make disciples for the kingdom.
He may call us in the church within, outside the church as missionaries or even in the market place in our every day work places.
Thus the call may be specific or general but listening to the voice when he calls might be the most challenging.
By faith, man responds to God’s invitation. By this “obedience of faith” (Rom 1:5) man submits his will and intellect to God, the Revealer, because God guarantees its truth.
I didn’t know how to differentiate the voice of God with the self thought (mind), thorough this course I have become now a servant of God who is able to listen the voice of God. God’s Call your Response course is very helpful in my ministry.
Praise Jesus! It is my humble opinion to take this opportunity to share with anyone who will read this just how grateful I am and happy to have come across axx ministry and their online study program. It was after a long time of prayers to God to lead and direct my life, which He faithfully did and, is still doing this very moment. I shared with the man of God which God has put in my life that I was completely certain that God has called me into biblical counselling and therefore I needed to take up a certification cause for this in order to be thoroughly equipped, gain in depth knowledge, and also to adhere to the laws of the land. And I was just so blessed at how this fell in place so quickly after such a long time of waiting on God. On the day I was made aware of the axx, I immediately checked out the courses offered and when I saw Biblical Leadership, I immediately knew this was it especially given that this is the field I’ve been on even before I knew God.
With that background, I want to confess that the unit “God’s call your response” has tremendously helped me to piece together several things, the trainers has “directly” spoken to me on several occasions and I simply cannot fail to mention how God works in ways that we as human cannot tell. It is truly confirmation after another that I’m in the right place at the right time with the right people doing the right thing, and if this has worked this way for me, I can only imagine how God in His own wisdom is doing the same in the lives of many.
Lastly, I want to send my gratitude to this ministry for this invaluable opportunity that you’ve given me, and many other people who normally would not afford such a course! May God lay up for you your great rewards in heaven! You are helping many souls realise their calling! Thanks also to the teachers, Brendon Roach, Regan and Ms Kyle for teaching me, God bless you! May God keep providing for this ministry in all it needs.
Amen.
This course has definitely equipped me with the knowledge needed to effectively accomplish my mission work. It challenged me to think deeper about my decision to do God’s work. The teachings/lectures made my heart and soul long and desire for God and His work even more. There is such rich teaching in each session and the instructors were very engaging. The materials and concepts presented were very current, useful and relevant. Each instructor gave an excellent overview and presentation of the bible that made perfect sense. I feel I have gained the confidence I need to teach others about the importance of God’s call and our response to His call. I, particularly, loved the lessons on Hearing the Voice of God, Recognizing the Voice of God etc. It was absolutely comforting and reassuring to know that we are God’s children, He wants a relationship with us and always communicates with us. It was also interesting to learn about aligning our intentions/purpose/plan with God’s will to experience greater fulfilment and spiritual growth.
The course was, definitely, well organized and logically structured. All the instructors were experts in the subject matter. They clearly and convincingly communicated all the important concepts. The quizzes were very relevant and beneficial – They definitely enhanced my understanding. My desire to do God’s work has significantly increased and I am beyond elated for taking this course that has enormously increased my knowledge. Overall, I will highly recommend this course to all pastors.
I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible impact that Axx has had on my journey of faith and personal development. From the moment I discovered your platform, I knew that God had led me to a place where I could grow spiritually and find guidance in answering His call.
One of the most significant ways that Axx has impacted me is through the clarity it has brought to my discernment of God’s call. Through your teachings and guidance, I have gained a deeper understanding of His voice and a heightened awareness of His presence in my life. As a result, I have been able to discern His call more clearly and have found the courage to step out in faith to follow wherever He leads me.
In conclusion, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the entire Axx team for their dedication, passion, and commitment to serving God and His people. Your platform is truly a beacon of light in a world that is often filled with darkness, and I am immensely grateful for the profound impact it has had on my life.
May God continue to bless and guide Axx as you faithfully serve His kingdom and empower others to answer His call with boldness and faith.
With heartfelt thanks and blessings,
When God called me it took time before I realized.Its after I aligned myself to listen to His call that God started guiding me.I started going to church got saved later participating in worship experience every second Sunday of the month and reading the Bible regularly,praying daily ,sacrificing my time for God ,fasting that I met axx on on Facebook posted by a Kenyan pastor that I took step to enroll .later on God has confirmed to me that I’m on the right track through visions and dream.All of them are proving positive progress.
In this course God’s Call Your Response, I have learnt so much, especially about discipleship and on how to hear the voice of God. A few Sundays we did a discipleship training and today we looked at the gifts and calling, and as I was sitting listening to the talk, that the Pastor was talking (my spiritual Mom) was talking, I thought of what I am learning here, one of my gifts and passions is to teach the word of God and also to serve. Hospitality is another one of my gifts. This course is really blessing me, and I am even sharing it with my spiritual Mom too, what I learn. Thank you for this wonderful course and may God richly bless all of you there.
It is a great blessing for me as I complete this course.
This course has helped me pay careful attention to every little detail of the call of God over my life.
I learned that God’s voice doesn’t put us under tention or in hurry when he speaks to us, but it gives us a peace of mind.
I’m glad to fully recognize the call of God over my life.
I have learnt so much under this, God’s Call, Your Response, I won’t be able to describe how much change this has brought into my understanding of what it meant when they say God had called someone. I have been thinking that I must hear God speak to me in audible voice to be sure that I didn’t call myself. I also did understand the difference between specific and general calls of God and I had been under the impression that God loves some more than others that’s why He call some into pastoral duties and leave some of us.
I just lack words to describe what a blessing these topics have been to me in inching up toward God’s purpose for my life.
Thank AXX for this free gift.
Amazing how such a learning experience not just gets you knowledge but also transforms your inner man too! Got to learn that hearing God’s voice is so important and that His words have to match the Bible. Sometimes we ought to quiet all noises to hear God. In a world so much filled with cyberspace and media we still have to quiet the noises and move from the crowds to experience God’s voice which shall direct and align us in our calling.
Firstly, I want to appreciate God Almighty who in His timing perfects His course upon His people.
My testimony goes like this, I noticed a call of God upon my life for more than seven years now but I have been giving excuses of what I needed to do before I could attend to the call. Secondly, I wasn’t certain it was God considering the manners with which the voices come. Thirdly, I never knew that opportunity such as this exist. Now, when I made up my mind to answer the call against all odds,He opened up this opportunity clearing every doubt and confusion. Now every lesson speaks to me directly, returning me to peace and stability of mind.
All thanks to AXX ministry and Instructors God has used. To God alone be praised.
The key learning points from the topic which really helped me in the understanding of my calling are as follows:
-ministry is service, is for God’s glory, is for others, is for building the church, is for the purpose of the great commission
-3 forms of ministry are church ministry, market place/work ministry, community ministry
-one of the best criteria to understand what God has called me to do is whether I am producing fruit.
-I was blessed by the teaching on the 3 ministry zones namely anointing, heart and ability. It’s my first time to hear about this revelation. This was well explained
-gifting is not equal to my calling, though it may help point to my calling which quite often encompasses other important areas that God wants me to focus on besides the gifting.
Today, i am a changed person since i underwent this training. it has made me realize a number of things namely: God has called me for a purpose that fits in correctly in His bigger plan for the world. I need to take serious consideration of spending time with Him in prayer, in His word and listening to Him speak to me, this will increase intimacy with Him and in turn help me learn my gifts, call and His plans for my life. Aligning in His plans is a new revelation today and it humbles me to go back and change my ways of seeing Him and believing in Him in a different manner, in a manner that will actually develop my intimate relationship with Him. Indeed i am grateful.
I thank God I came across Axx, I have learnt a lot about the call of God, how I should respond to God’ s call, the right mindset to develop for ministry, what ministry is all about, and how to rightly recognized God’s voice. I have learnt quite a lot. As a pastor here in Nigeria, I recommend every minister of God to have a taste of training from axx. It equip ministers to effectively carry out ministry
I would like to thank the director and our mentors I am very happy to learn things like this iam a pastor but I learned great things in this course which I was looking for I was asking myself that how can I know my gift how can I hear from God now I have learned something now I am mature enough about this subject and how continue another subject thanks God bless you
‘-God is personal, He speak to a individual
– His calls are biblical based
_ God is always speaking to people but if we wish to hear Him we should – Walk with him. – listen attentively – pray and meditate
He speaks to our Spirit to obey not our minds to argue also aline with scripture
_we should be careful about the source of information which comes from different angles – divine – demonic and self/ others.
If we want to hear from God we have: (1) be still (2) desire to hear (3) recognize how He speak (4) have sensitivity to His presence (5) involve God in all we do ( 6) deal with sin
This course God’s Call Your Response is totally devotional and heart-searching.
Find JONAH and PETER in particular very intriguing.
Above all, God’s Call Your Response is giving me a fresh understanding about labouring in prayer for divine guidance in ministry.
God bless all our instructors. Amen.
This has been a life changing module for me. Understanding the voice of God and how God speaks to us as individuals. At the core of it all been made to know and understand that God’s call is not an event, but rather a journey with God.
Am really blessed with this topic God’s call and your response, this opened my inner mind to some fact about my calling, I really appreciate all the lecturers on this unit, I appreciate you Kay Dohle for opened inner mind towards how to hear God’s voice and to Ministry Zones handled by Brendan Roah, kudos to the main lecturer Regan Perry to the transparent teaching
This lesson blessed me a lot and taught me many things about God’s calling.
What is God’s calling?
Whether I hear God’s call or not it depends on the condition of my ears.
What I hear depends on my attitude
Isaiah 6:8
I come to understand that the Call of God it self is very clear, ‘Whether l hear God’s Call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear that it depends upon my spiritual attitude. ‘I need to hear the Lord as it is written in lsaiah 6:8.like ‘A about Definition ”An invitation to partnership/for we are co-workers in God’s field, God’s building (1 Cor:3:9).my Axx Bible College family this is very much, a very big Blessing 🙌 for the our Ministries in Namibia Church. Thank you so very much.
Thank you so much for your learning. I have read and learn courses concerning calling and listening God voice. It has impacted me alot and I have gotten confident how to listen to God voice. And how I would respond obediently toHis calling. Thank you for your studies and am looking to take a step of Faith serving.
I want to appreciate God for his privileged.
I have indeed learnt a lot. Identify my gift, knowing how to hear from God. And better ways to do ministry. Meaning of kingdom.
Appreciating the place g anointed, abilities and heart.
I am better equipped now.
Thank you
The be the name of the Lord for another understanding and more teaching on God’s call and the voice of God
I have learned the difference between call and gift and how to hear the voice of God. Bless be the name of God.
God bless Axx college
This course has truly widened my knowledge about Ministry, General and specific calling, how to plan my vision and my mission, Gift and calling, Recognizing the voice of God, Platforms for the call. Thanks to Axx Ministry Team.
I t has helped me realize and understanding God’s voice in depth and that whatever I do in ministry is for God’s glory. I have to be obedient to God’s call as become an effective Disciple Maker and main thing is proclaim Jesus as king and his kingdom.
I moved to a different African nation two years ago and it was not clear to me what purpose God had for me regarding this new place. Due to language barrier, it was challenging to connect with the locals and even to fit into fellowships. However, I trusted God in prayer and He connected me to a local pastor who could communicate in English. The church started to arrange for translations, and through that, I was able to join in the evangelism with the help of interpreters. I have had opportunities to serve God through teaching God’s Word in this church, and we were able to start a cell fellowship in my neighbourhood that has been growing steadily. Earlier in the year we started praying regarding planting a church within the capital city, and around then is when I discovered Axx. God has used this course to shape my thinking regarding God’s call for my life, and how I respond. The biggest challenge the course has given me is how what I am doing, or what I think God wants me to do fits into the bigger picture of what God wants to do in this nation, and in the whole world. I am blessed to be taking part in this course, and I’m confident that God will use it in my life for His glory. Amen!
First of anything else, let me thank God Almighty for the course opportunity. He has taken me into complete happiness. He has been so wonderful and amazing. My darkness is gone. I am in LIGHT.
I have been hearing about Jesus our Lord, but now, i have met Him, seen Him. I declare; He is more than what people say.
I trust that i have been ” called ” and i believe that i am part and parcel of his ” mission “.
TO GOD BE THE GLORY.
It is so important first to state that a Call is an invitation to partneship, as written in 1 Cor 3:9. So when a man is called by God, he must know that the most important aspect of God´s call is the call to Himself. So the Call is about God Himself. And secondly calling is something that we are asked to do and it envolves some sort of responsability.
To hear the God´s Call depends on the condition of the ears and exactly what someone hears it depends on the spiritual attitude such as a spiritua ability, the soil which that seed lands as to whether or not it flourishes or turns into something that become exactly in what God intends. And the other aspect is the relationship of the person towards God.
It is important as well for the person to know what has God anointed him to do, which is called the Anointing Zone. And he has to know as well what God has placed into his heart, which called the Heart Zone and the Ability Zone is that one that the person discovers what he is good at.
I have my own experience with God about God´s Call and I know that God speaks several times in different ways and this needs a very deep experience.
This lesson was great and wonderful very educative, sub topics such as Ministry Zone, hearing the voice and understanding type of voices, understanding your calling and wild range of different sub topics give me a better and clearer understanding I’m so grateful to this God sent College, I appreciate.
I had a very insightful lessons from this course, I am now able to reflect deeply on my call to Ministry through prayer, meditation and fasting over my life.
I wish to rekindle the work of God in my life as I take my journey with God in his church.
I Thanks God for AXX and the entire team of dedicated Teachers. Personally I have benefitted a lot and my understanding of the call of God is clear now. I will continue to learn and to pray for the AXX Bible School for more and more grace .
God bless the day I come in contact with Axx.The things I have learnt in this course “God’s Call Your Response” can’t be compared to any financial gift. With the help of Axx iam able to know what a call is, the tyes of call(the general, special and unique call), what is ministry, mission, the ministry zone;(the anointing, ability and heart),how to hear from God, recognize God’s voice, the different voices(divine, demonic, self/others),and more. God bless Dr. Brenda Roach and his team. Perry Ragan, Kay Doyle etc. Thank you Axx Bible college.
First I would like to Thank my able teachers who have taken me through these lessons. I appreciate you so much.
I have learned alot on the subject new things I didn’t knew eg recognizing God’s voice and responding to …. and I was touched so on Ubuntu : Person is a person through other persons. This has helped me that in order to succeed in ministry work I need other members. All in all I promise to work on my areas I had failed before.
What a privilage to be ushered to this Course. To me definately there is no doubt that this was God’s Plan for my calling, to equip me more for the assignment . The Lectures are so simplified to my understanding,long pending questions are getting answered right here. It is an honour hearing all this.
Thank you.
I thank God for Bible Course it has real enlightened me. I enjoy the course.
I thank the institute for this opportunity which has made me to learn. I have learned how to hear the voice of God and differentiate between the Demonic and self/other voice very interesting and other topics.
Thank you so much.
God bless you.
Margaret
It’s still very important to hear God at a personal level as opposed to hearing from others. God wants a personal relationship, and would love to speak directly to me the things that concern my life. From this lecture unit, has helped firm up my resolve to hear God and be sensitive to His call.
This course changed my life and lifted up my faith and give me the knowledge that in everythings I do I must involve God, meaning God must be number one in my life and I pray to the most high God to bless this school in the name of Jesus Christ amen
I learned a lot in this course and it’s helped me to make a difference between the voice of God and the voice of the devil and it’s really lifted up my faith and encouraging me to follow the will of God and to pray and fasting and also to involve God in everythings I do in all decisions I make God must be number one in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
What an insightful and deep course this was. I now understand that God has called everyone but different kinds of calling exists e.g. General, Specific, unusual. My Spirit has been fed with a lot of knowledge and the course covered a lot of areas including Ministry Zones and clearly examples were included. Praying first before commencing each session has made me understand so much more and God continues to reveal a lot of things I have to know.
I was reminded towards the end that we need to have quiet time for God. Be separated from the noises of the world so that we hear His voice. What an annointed and powerful course it is and I cannot wait to learn more in the next course.
Thank you all and be blessed!!
This course has reminded me that I have a call. This call is an answer to the prayer that states “your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as its in heaven”. I must not take lightly my call, I must not simply look at it with the eyes that the world sees it in a narrow way. its a divine assignment for the season and the location that i am in, its a unique adventure that God call me to, while its unique to me, it is implemented in a context where there are other players and stakeholders with a vast variety of gifts talents and abilities. knitted within my call is a need to grow my mind and my capacity to fit and operate within a society that promotes the welfare of the Kingdom and its citizens.
Hearing God’s voice had always been a subject I was not comfortable to talk about or think about, I was confused about the topic as a whole, but Kay explained it in an amazing way. I now understand clearly areas I need to check if I sense God is not speaking to me. I also loved the Kingdom concept as ”Ubuntu”. I really think its an amazing illustration. As an African myself I connect with the concept deeply and love everything about it. I am so so blessed by Axx, I literally felt God during my lessons. Thank you Axx for preparing me. This will give me a solid foundation to boldly speak God’s word and engage in Church planting confidently. Again thank you.
I have learn so much on this course, God’s call your response through the holy spirit I have gain lot of knowledge on this particular course. I will use the knowledge to expand God’s word in my community and everywhere that iam able. Knowing how to identify the call of God, general and specific call, understanding missions, allowing Scriptures to define, places of ministry, weird calling, ministry zone, hearing the voice of God, gifts and calling and call to go has taught me alot . I just want to say a big thank you to my lecturers for the wonderful knowledge and Axx college team God bless you for imparting my life it is a beautiful journey. Shalom
I thank God for the gift of life and His protection.
I also thank Him for having enabled me to sail through this course and come to the end.
I also thank Him for the gift of Axx Bible College which offered me a great opportunity to have facilitated education that has enlightened me more in doing the work of God.
Throughout this course,I have gained alot.I have understood more about the call of God and as I talk,I have been able to identify my calling.
I have understood ministry,God’s voice and others.
Surely as I end this course I have not remained the same and am now spiritually improved.I give glory and Honour to Him.
What axx have done for me
I have got a new understanding on what a call is and what a gift is and also I understood that the Man plans or God plans to a God called servant to be in the purpose of God. From this point I got the Best planner who is! That is God. Axx has add some values on my leadership personality.I hope axx will give me the opportunity to grow more in the future !
My testimony
I pray to axx to expand and reach most poor country servants of God,because there is lack of knowledge in their calling and its purpose !
My ministry
I believe my ministry will be more stronger than before ,and will be in Gods purpose !
Thank you!

God at different times have been calling people into partnership with him in the project of building a society characterised and embodied by his will. Again our spiritual attitude determines whether or not we hear from God.
The church has become a vehicle with which this great commission is conveyed. This commission is either a general one or a specific call but the ultimate point centres around God and others. Our closeness to the one who calls goes a long way to determine how we succeed or fail in the movement. Hence trust and obedience will make a discipline an instrument of navigation and a shining light to the world.
Its proven that theres no separation between the circular and sacred ministry as was painted during the Constantine era.
Ministry could be expressed in the following forms.
1. Church based ministry.
2. Market based ministry where the follower take the mission of God with them into their occupation and vocations. Colossians 3: 23-24.
3. Community based which involved checking up on others and assisting in their growth and welfare.
A case study of the life of king David revealed different satges and platforms of God’s call.
*As a shepherd
* The king’s armour bearer.
* A worshipper.
* A king.
Theres is also a revelation of of some biblical characters who responded to very unusual call. The likes of John the Baptist, Ezekiel and Hosea “the prophet of love”.
But in all, the ultimate idea and purpose centers around God, for the people and to the glory of God.
Brendan Roach demystify the different zones of ministry using a model principle of the seed sower. Matthew 13: 1-23. Pointing to the grand purpose of God’s call which is to bear friuts . That if a follower must bear friuts, then total dependent upon the master is required in addition to developing our God’s given abilities and having passion for the call.
The conclusion is that if we must hear from God, theres must be a relationship between us and God. Then the desire to hear from him . We have to be still and listen and be ready to learn to recognize how God speaks. Then in our planing we should fail to involve God and the we have to do away with sin.
Our talents maybe helpful in responding to God’s call but we need to understand that talents or gifts are not call. They only work in concert with the whole body. Romans 12: 4-6
‘- God’s calling upon each individual is not just serving in the church, but also at the market place. Meaning preachers, pastors, evangelist or clergy are not the only ones doing what God has called them to do. But even farmers and others involved in work at the marketplace. The vital point is that ‘ Is to do everything to the glory of God’.
– A gift is not a calling, but something that can help in response to God’s call upon our lives.
– Being fruitful in a ministry is an indication that one is operating in God’s call for him or her. Secondly, we can be miraculously fruit if we operate in the grace zone (combination of anointing, heart and abilities).
– Having a close relationship we God can help us to hear is voice. This is very important in responding to God’s call. Thus, prayer, worship, studying and meditating on the word of God can help us differentiate God’s voice from our voices or the demonic voices.
I HAVE LEARNED MANY THINGS THROUGH THIS SUBJECT AND I UNDERSTAND HOW GOD USE US IN HIS MINISTRY AS CHURCH.IT IS IMPORTANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE WORD OF GOD AND HEAR HIS VOICE. AM NOT SUPPOSE TO DEPEND ON MYSELF,I HAVE TO DEPEND ON OTHER PERSONS AS UBUNTU.IN EVERYTHING AM DOING I NEED TO INVOLVE GOD, IN MY PLANS GOD HAS TO BE INVOLVED.AM NOW A CHANGED PASTOR BECAUSE THIS COURSE MAKES ME TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO DO THING INVOLVING GOD.THANK YOU.
This course ‘Gods’ call & my response’ was so profound! The Lord used it to reaffirm & confirm His call on my life. It was a sobering time as i have done an introspect of what & where God has called me to position in the body of Christ. It has also been an amazing time of hearing God for myself in regards to His call over my life. I bless the Lord for all the teachings, teachers & for AXX Bible College.
Praise the Lord!
as a matter fact, the Biblical Leadership course is very interesting one for I am being able to learn new things in middle of what I have already known about God Himself. I am so impressed with these three instructors (teachers): Sir Brendan Roach, Brother Regan Perry and Madam Kay Dohle. They are absolutely incredible teachers who know the scriptures and are able to transmit the God´s knowledge properly.
I have to confess that so many things I had doubt before, it has been clearly responded here. I feel such an spiritual athmosphere while you guys teach and I can assure you that the presence of God is so real in AXX.
I am more familiar with the call of God, the Ministry, the Marketplace Ministry, the Platforms for Call, the Ministry Zones, How to hear the voice of God, the Kingdom Perspective and so on. How blessed I am! My God, this has absolutely been a fantastic journey so far.
So, I have established high expectations for this course and in this first God´s Call Your Response chapter, I have already seen my expectations reaching high levels. Mr. Regan Perry talked about Kingdom of God and how the jews created the high expectation of establishment of that Kingdom on earth. They thought that it would be a physical kingdom, where it could have a land, a king (who is the Ruler) and people could live peacefully. I loved a lot when it was explained that the Kingdom of God is reffered to UBANTU which means “a person is a person through other people”. Kingdom of God is a society of God´s people where there is love, cares for people, justice, peace, wisdom, a kingdom which cares about the future.
I have also learned that whether I hear God´s call or not, it depends on the condition of my ears and exactly what I hear depends on my spiritual attitude. We must have spiritual ability to hear the voice of God and our spiritual ears will determine our ability to hear the voice of God clearly. It depends also on the relationship of the person to God.
So I have to put in practice all these spiritual tools in proper way to develop the experience I already have with God. Like what Mrs. Kay explained in the section of How to hear the voice of God, like being still, listen, desire to hear and wllingness to obey and avoiding sin. It was confirmed that God speaks in several ways and we have in the Bible an animal (Camel) that spoke to a Prophet Balaam. (Numbers 22).
I have the experience of sensing the voice of God and each time God confirms me my call through dreams, the Bible verses and even men of God make revelations of what I already know about the call of God in my life. All I need is to envolve myself deeply in relationship with God because sometimes I lose the Focus and I get distracted, that´s why I ask for your help in prayers.
God has revealed me great things about the Throne of David and I have been sensing strongly the call of God. And for this reason I go through a lot and I face a lot of challenges in life which are signs of how big is my call.
Mr. Brendan Roach talked about the Ministry Zones where he emphasizes the different folds: 30 folds, 60 folds and 100 folds. I am sure how God has anointed me and what abilities He has given me but I have strongly work on the Heart Zone. I have been declaring what God anointed me to do and what He has called me to do. I have been working strongly in developing the skills God put in me and I feel really inspired when I use my abilities and I use them in a happy way. One of my skills are the gift of Word, gift of revelation, gift of knowledge, gift of speaking in tongues, gift of variety of tongues, gift of dream… The Heart Zones, as explained by Pastor Brendan, is something that comes to someone over, over and over again. The Heart Zone enables us to overcome the obstacles and it needs to remain soft towards God and towards other people. The heart zone is where the passion, dreams and the vision live and it is the place of abundance.
So my prayer to God is that I may operate on 100 folds and it is a big challenge for me to fight very hard in faith and in deep relationship with God, so that I can experiment the miracles, signs and wonders of God and from God.
I am just sorry for the lack of a good internet which is troubling me a lot here but thank God I am listening to all videos as directed by AXX.
Once again, Thank you so much for accepting me as your student of Biblical Leadership course.
Good Day!
Theres a calling in every person you need yo know what is your calling? If we are willing to submit to God. He will response to us. Theres a lot of calling and every person theres a calling like a pastor, a evangelist , a teacher and etc. If God calling to us we need to listen to his voice so that we can response to his calling.
This course helped more to have a better understanding of God’s call in my life. I was able to narrow down my focus to align my will with God’s perfect will for my life. It has been a thing of great joy having to discover what God actually wants me to do in being of impact on earth, rather than just chasing after money and fame. I was able to redefine my God’s purpose for my life as I learnt to hear, understand and obey His voice.
My name is Harrison from Kenya, I am so grateful for the study on the call of God, this has been my eye-opener and well presented, gifts are not bigger than the call, we need to align with the plans of God. Differentiating the voice of God and how God talk has also been well explaned, I wish to appreciate so much
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ beloved, i would like to thank God for this ministry and for these life changing courses you put out here for us, ever since i started this course i have grown spiritual coz now i know how to read and understand the word of God concerning my life , i have learnt to listen to the voice of God and i believe my life will never be the same again . God bless you all
I am grateful to God and AXX for deeper understanding of the relationship between calling and gifts and how to align them with the plan and purpose of God.
The lecture on how to bring anointing, skills and heart together for hundred fold fruitfulness is awesome. I have never heard this before: the lecturer spoke about 6 different grounds, I have always thought there are only four. But now I understand that, the fruitful ground are three categories: 30fold, 60fold and 100fold returns. I have learned what to do to operate in 100 fold fruitfulness this is wonderful to me, I am appreciative for this.
Hearing the voice of God is very important so I will not be at a loss about what God want me to do per time: I have learned how to hear Him and decern His voice.
I can distinguish between general call and specific call. In summary I now have a deeper knowledge about what it means to work for God and do it effectively. Praise be unto the Almighty God.
Although I already knew my call I realized that I was lacking in some aspects. I have learned that I could not guide someone who is new. But now through this teachings I can and I have learned a lot. I have learned how to hear from God how to quieten the noise in the inside of me and listen to God. How to build a relationship with God spend time with him. I have realized find call by having an intimate relationship with God then the call will come to us. I have learned how to find out the calling your life. It is what makes you angry it is also what you love, what gives you joy and what other people are saying. It is also that which is heartfelt. If we ask why God has gift us a certain this can help us find out exactly what our call is because although a gift is not a call a gift facilitates a call. I also learned how to recognize the voice of God the book of John 10:10 says my sheep knows my voice so we should as well know the voice of God.Go”s voice line up with His word. There is also life and power in His voice. God speaks to our spirits and when He speaks is not a discussion nor an argument but peace. There are there different voices that comes to us: There is the voice of God, our voices and demonic voice. When is self you will need you will need to convince yourself while demonic voice rushes you, brings confusion, anxiety and does not build. I have learned how to hear His voice thanks to this course.
I manage to understand historical look of ministry,
Deeper understanding of ministry along with separate life with material and spiritual aspect.
Understand how God speak to us.
When reading bible ,reading them spiritually ,pray and understand them
Understand the gift and calling ..gift more into point to God
Understand how to align and involve with God.
Understand what Jesus meant by Kingdom during his preaching
Greetings in the wonderful name of our Lord God.
It happened in a meeting where the voice said to me. The plan that I gave you for the church is not for this people. It’s for you, don’t force it on this people.
It was in the beginning of July 2013.I just keep it for myself From that very next Sunday I stay at home.I told no one about it.
From the next Sunday we (my wife and I) arquie,,,why I’m not going to church. I told the board that I can’t go on further and resigned.
Every Sunday morning after our difference I fall on my knees and pray deeply unhappy,,but I couldn’t find what I was looking for.
That learned me a lesson to be at peace with everyone especially with my wife when I pray.
The voice were gone, until the first Sunday in December 2013.That Sunday morning for the first time in months I walked my wife to the door.That morning I didn’t fall on my knees, but just go back and sat on the bench between the guitar and the small keyboard.
The voice was back and said,,start with what you have.
I asked deep in my heart, who must play the guitar and keyboard. The answer was,,Elize that’s my wife. I didn’t tell her, but that morning something happened to her in church and joined me the next Sunday.
We pray for the last 3Sundays of December 2013 .
At the end of 2013,we start our church on our knees.
The 4th of January 2014 The Lord saved two homeless people.
She just takes the keyboard and plays.
Nobody learned her to play
It must be The Lord.
Yes indeed.
I praise God. Ubuntu to me seemed as an African Philosophy that has developed over time as an “African” problem mechanism. It’s mind boggling when my tutor starts to open up virgin lands. The society that is a reflection of small society in individuals is such a concept that resonates with my call and ministry that is in formative stage. This concept is God Sent.
The ministry zones is another “Green Pasture” for me, to highlight a few. The interconnectedness of the Anointing, Abilities and heart to produce a miraculous 100% is in a class of its own.
I pray for all the tutors in this great program.

MY TESTIMONY AFTER STUDYING
GOD’S CALL YOUR RESPONSE
I am very happy to be enrolled in this course. It has really shown me that lack of understanding was responsible for all the problems and failures that I experienced in my life.
In this course I have learned to:
– as a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, I have a call.
– in this call, I have a specific purpose to fulfill or serve.
In responding to my call, I must ensure that:
– listen to God’s voice;
– read scriptures;
– be part of Christ church.
– engage with other beliefs in worship, God’s word, fellowship, and witnessing on behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ;
– serve wholeheartedly to reveal the Christ in me;
– to be trusted by God and other believers; and
– to love one another.
For me to be successfully responding to God’s call by action and conviction, I must guard against the following:
– evil and the devil;
– separate spiritual influence from natural influence;
– self-righteousness;
– exalting myself from other believers; and
– expressing my own opinion rather than God’s word.
I am blessed to be part of Axx, now I know the interdependence fruitfulness. For example, the 30-fold, 60-fold, and the 100-fold in the ministry of Christ. I must engage with the following:
– scriptures;
– my trainers/facilitators;
– other students; and
– share my experiences with others.
After going through this course, without any doubt, my call is to teach and to be an author. To teach and write the truth that glorifies God and point to Jesus Christ as the only one who will save us and the Holy Spirit will guide us to Jesus Christ who will present us to the Father God to give us eternal life.
I am so grateful for what has happened to my life. Axx has been a solution to my problems I come from Botswana and I have been having a problem of school fees, i wanted to go to a Bible college but I couldn’t due to lack of fees. I found this college and I enrolled on the course called church planting. This course is a blessing to me since I had to go and open a church in another area. The course tought me about cross cultural so I was able to handle the word of God in a different cultures. I first learned their culture so as not to offend them and prevent them from receiving Christ. Another course that has uplifted me is God’s call our response. It made me come even closer to God after learning that God wants to be prominent in our lifes and wants us to recognize his presence and that he wants to be involved in our affears it made me to have confidence in him. Our new ministry is a success through your teachings. I learned a lot about ministry. Another area that I enjoyed is how to hear from God, that I need to be still in order to hear him. I used to go out and enjoy his presence as I now know that there is noice around us and noise within us. I learned about the call of God for my life that I will find my way and God’s call will come to me and that it’s a journey. I now have assurance in my call because of these teachings. I know what I am doing. I now know that my gift is not my call and that I should not narrow down my call to single gift. Thanks so much may the Lord bless you.
Praise God sincerely these lessons have changed my understanding and as well preaching in the gospel. Topics like general and specific call have enlightened me, ministry zone, gifts and calling. This last topic, called Go indeed this is true to let people also exercise what God called them to do around their community. Thank you axx for accepting teaching us, who could have done it to me?. I would have contributed towards this ministry I pray God to provide for me because many pastors in Uganda need these lessons. All this week I have been praying for people but teaching them what I have learnt from these lessons.
In this course God’s Call Your Response, I have learnt so much, especially about discipleship and on how to hear the voice of God. A few Sundays we did a discipleship training and today we looked at the gifts and calling, and as I was sitting listening to the talk, that the Pastor was talking (my spiritual Mom) was talking, I thought of what I am learning here, one of my gifts and passions is to teach the word of God and also to serve. Hospitality is another one of my gifts. This course is really blessing me, and I am even sharing it with my spiritual Mom too, what I learn. Thank you for this wonderful course and may God richly bless all of you there.
the journey of calling is beyond and I can’t explain everything I’ve learned in this short period of time I was glued to the lectures and so must light and wisdom with many words of assurance, I saw I am not far from the kingdom of God the way I thought. more enlightenment I can attest since I started following and learning after the teachings and the guidance of the leadership in the house. a well please to say, I never correctly followed as a disciple to Jesus because I looked at the disciple of Jesus and myself and I could point profound differences though I am serving the lord. it is indeed a serious issue that we are facing as Christians to truly come in the knowledge of Jesus not just to come and also to experience him. christianity is not self-serving, it should not focus on the self and it will never be about the self. Jesus, was a community master, and though he was denied the work couldn’t be denied, just like Regan said our light must shine. a call is a journey uncovered in time and discovered in service. service is the best tool to discover your calling while looking at yourself from the perspective of the ground and the seed. we are meant to be fruitful in ministry, unless we are then we are not doing what we suppose to be. Grace zone is bringing together the ministry of the heart, ability, and anointing. I believe that now I become that living stone. where the voice of God will find ground without so much in the heart that will create doubt.
it is still a journey which am enjoying and am intending to stay until Christ is birthed in me.
praise the lord Jesus. I Thank God that have lernt what a calling from God is and how to respond to his voice , what ministry is how and steps to take through ministering the people . the gifts of the holy spirit and his perfection in the ministry
Before starting Axx Bible College, I was confused to know the call of God in my life and asked many scholars and church leaders but I didn’t get satisfying results. Thank God, I have learned gifts, calls and fruitfulness zone properly. Now, I understand where to begin abilities and narrow to focus on calls to functions as one body of Christ in the Kingdom of God. Besides this, the lesson of hearing the voices of God directed new insight in my spiritual questions. God bless all the Axx Bible School Staff and all involved in this program.
I would love to thank the Axx for blessing with this course. It has exposed slot of things that happens in my church specific.
It has answered my question about zero growth in the church, we lacke understanding for God’s calling, no general calling or specific calling.
No evangelism, no able leadership basically we go to church they open a scripture they read it and preach for few minutes and we go home.
The studies has helped me understand that first we must understand general calling and specific calling, need to understand to hear the voice of God.
With the course it made me afraid or confused because they won’t take what I have learned, it will be a new thing and challenging to except.
My attention was drown to carefully study this part of the teaching as different lecturers took me through.
I have learn how to hear from god. I once thought that God is so selective in speaking to men. But now I know that God is speaking to me as well. I only need to build a relationship with him and through experience I will learn to master His voice. I have also learned that I have a call to work towards making the bigger picture of God’s will globally. The anointing, the gifts and the heart of man must be cultivated and aligned together in service in order to minister effectively within our area of call
In this course on God’s call your response.
I have learned that the call of God in our lives can be in extraordinary ways, but it can be discerned quietly and it is an invitation for partnership.
I also comprehend more about the general and specific calls which involve more personal discipleship, evangelism, and worship for the general call as the specific call does not come with a complete set of detailed instructions to us.
I also now know that community-based ministry specifically in the area of social responsibility is in the Bible when I read Isaiah 58:6-7 and Isaiah 61 which speaks clearly about ” proclaiming the good news to the poor and proclaim freedom to the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind and set the free the oppressed and the year of the Lord’s favor.
The community-based ministry where we neglected the hungry, thirsty, Nakedness, homeless, sick, and displaced persons, and I am thankful for this session because I was able to discover that these are ministries that need our attention very much, and I would ask my brethren to not neglect rather prioritized them in our different ministries.
I also learn that community-based ministry gives us the ability to meet physical and spiritual needs.
On hearing God’s call, I understand that God does not speak to everyone in the same way but rather in ways we can understand and we need to listen attentively as we walk with the Lord. This will help us recognize the various ways He speaks to us.
The danger however comes when we are so deep into the world and neglect to spend time in prayer and meditation that the result will be to block us not to develop a familiarity with God’s voice and this makes us disoriented to Him and not hear Him.
Thank you for the opportunity.
I am Jorgelyn C. Elechicon from General Santos City, Philippines. I am so blessed for being accepted in this course because this helped me to understand what calling is, and it helped me identify what area God has specifically called me, aside from responding to the general calling.
In this unit, I understand that it is not enough that I know my calling but I should put my hands, heart and head in it and it must be in alignment with the plan of God for His kingdom. I must not think of myself only but I must be doing things that fit in the bigger picture of what God wants to do on earth.
Before I took this course, I really did not know my specific calling. I was quite confused about my calling and I have no idea how to know it. But now, I thank God because I know already what my calling is. I believe I am ready to be part of God’s worker in building God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
Although I did not finish the course on time as I originally planned it because of internet problem sometimes, still I am very satisfied of what I learned.
I thank all my instructors in each topic for their very clear and articulate explanation. I pray that God will bless you more as you continue shaping leaders and workers for God’s kingdom. Glory to God in the highest!
Psalms 62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.
The course is not only refreshing, it helps to you to gain new perspective and insight concerning the call upon your life. It helps to narrow down on what’s most important and what follows. Thanks
During My Study of the Call, I realized that God is still speaking to us and its important to hear and recognize His voice. God wants us to communicate with Him through worship, prayer etc. since in any relationship communication is key. He can speak through Angels, Visions, Dreams, Miracles, Prophets even scriptures. So its upon us to recognize His voice when he speaks and this i learnt that i can recognize His voice over time, Because there are three sources of information that is the
1. Divine
2. Demonic
3. Self/Others
So we need to have that desire and willingness to obey.
God speaks in so many ways, he does not speak the same way to every one. Job 33:14-16 reminds us that he speaks in one way or another, he speaks in dreams,visions ,in deep sleep. sometimes we perceive sometimes we don’t. We need to walk with him and listen attentively in order for us to to recognize his voice. We should learn how to hear, recognize and obey his voice and learn scriptures.
Amen my response to God’s call I responded on the call by not waiting I said yes to God Here I am use me to do God’s will.I remember when I was still outside in the world far from God I was drinking alcohol smoking.I had a dream a Gospel song playing a very nice song I loved are you not scared of me surrender all the world things come to me.The following day I went to a shop to by a evangelism challenge me to come to the and pray for me yes I went to church I found out this is the place I must be. I am no 16years in the house of God Alcohol smoking free I dont drink smoking God rescued me Amen
The course started with Regan Perry explaining what a Call actually meant. I learnt the meaning of Ministry,it’s types, functions and Biblical examples. Dr. Brendan Roach talked about the Ministry Zone from which I got great insight from his teaching on the Sower ( Anointing,Heart, Abilities). I learnt how to hear the voice of God from Kay Dohle. Then Kingdom Perspective where I learnt “Ubuntu” which is the true meaning of the type of kingdom God has in mind. My life is gradually changing in the positive direction by what I have learned so far in the College.
A big thanks to you all. God bless you in Jesus name.
I have discovered anointing in my life and how it works. I now know the abilities i have in me through the knowledge that i received here at Axx bible college. I love doing what am called for. I now differentiate between my voice, satan’s voice and the voice of the holy spirit. I now able to recognize the voice of God and i know the more you read and study the word of God you can hear him speaking to you. I want to thank all the lectures that taught me so far am revived and equipped for ministry.
In the studies of God’s call your response, I learnt about hearing the voice of God. I learnt that God is speaking and for me to hear his voice I have to listen to him and avoid the things of the world. God by his very nature wants relationships with us and these relationships require communication. God often communicates with us and the question most important is whether we are listening or not. God has been speaking to his people right from the beginning in many different ways and his people knew him and understood him.
To understand God’s voice, I learnt that I learnt that I should have the desire to hear and willingness to obey. We need faith that he will speak to us. We need to have the desire to hear from God. There are three voices in our lives: ourselves, God and the demon. God has a quite ,calm, steady sound with authority. God’s voice will always be in line with his written word. God speaks to our spirit to obey and like sheep we should learn to recognize our shepherd’s voice over time and that is by experience.
Finally to hear God’s voice we have to be still, listen ,desire to hear, recognize how God speaks, develop sensitivity to his presence and involve God in all you do. We also need to spend time in prayer, fasting, reading the scripture and speaking in tongues.
Though simple and straight forward I have been blessed with these biblical reminders and foundation for successful ministry such as
1- Specific call should not eclipse your general call which is to all believers but in fact your general call should provide a foundation for your specific call.
2- We are called not just to believe on our Lord Jesus Christ but to be disciples or followers in what He does, what he says (to imitate Him so that we may like Him after being fully discipled) and ALSO to disciple others.
3- Interdependance of the Anointing, Abilities and the Heart for a believer to be effective in ministry. Need to create and encourage an environment that help growth of these areas and get rid or avoid anything that can cause contracting of the same. Need to improve our interaction with God, developing and practising our talents/abilities, and improve our Godly passion for our call this would help keep us going during a rainy day. All these areas have to be developed for effective ministry. Depending on their interdependence and growth we will be fruitful in ministry and produce 30 fold, 60 fold and 100 fold if they are fully grown and interdependent and we are in the Grace zone. If these are not adequately developed ministry will suffer may not be able to produce adequate fruit or any fruit any all.
4- God is always speaking to us but we need to create a conducive environment to hear God.
5- Do not take your prominent gift as your call thus limiting your call for your call may comprise so many of our gifts.
6- It is not about “Thy will be done in me” but “Thy will be done in the Kingdom” of which I am only small part of the big society. Realising this really help us aligning our call to God’s greater vision for society.
7- Thus they is need after you have correctly responded to God’s call to align your call to God’s to all humanity.
This has helped me understand my gifts and my calling better. Helped me on how to hear from God and also align my call to the wider Kingdom call of God.
I feel honoured to attend such comprehensive yet simple and bible based lecture and hope for great lessons in the remaining modules.
I hope a lot more believers and ministries had access to such enlightening and empowering materials.
P/S
I am failing to upload photo it says too big.
What a revelation I got.Knowing that there are 3 voices that speaks in me.Gods voice,myself and the devil.All I need to do is to listen very carefully who is speaking.Gods voice is always calm and steady,myself always convincing me that m doing the right thing.yetthe devil is harsh and brings confusion and stress.
Also knowing how to recognize God’s voice with time
After going through this course, I have come to understand so much about God’s calling, hearing God to better influence my environment with my gifting thus contributing to the growth of the Kingdom of God. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to build my Spiritual life.
Understanding that we are called by God and not by ourselves is fundamental in fulfilling our destiny and the purpose of our life’s. In fulfilling this purpose and answering God’s call, our activities and dreams must be subsumed in the overcall of the Lord and not focus on individual gains or desires. In essence, our call must align with the overall plan of God to promote His kingdom on earth.
God calls us in different ways and our abilities or skills assist in fully understanding this call. We need to still our heart and reduces surrounding notices to be able to hear the call clearly.
Whatever the call, it must be able to contribute to the bigger picture of what God wants
The content of the course and the simplicity of the tutorials has made it easy for my understanding. I see myself connecting with most of the things being taught and so sure that it was Gods divine leading that brought me here. Hearing the voice of God, responding to the call and knowing my gifts are my greatest takeaways from these lessons.
I know that God has called me into ministry, but the course has helped to know specifically which areas to focus on for effective ministry.
Once i receive the call from God I have to respond. when we are in the darkness that is the time God will call us and many times we fail to hear the voice of God since there is lots of voices and we fail to recognise the voice of God and hear the voice that is not his.
god has called me many times in various ways but i failed to respond so now the time has come to follow God’s call and listen to what God is telling me.
God’s call your response has been such a blessing to my ministry. I have reread the PDFs and I have made pointers from the course which I have been using at my place of worship. I pray God’s blessings on all the Lecturers of Axx.
Greetings in the wonderful NAME of JESUS CHRIST. February 2009 on my way to our Monday night prayer meeting the voice told me to resign from the church. I came at our building to find out its only the sisters in there. I decided to wait outside until they came. My plan was to stop Pastor outside and resign.I don’t know how they passed me, but the last thing I saw,was how the last one slips in by the back door. I missed them. When I entered Pastor announces that there will be a quick mmeeting.I joined them. They ask me something that until today l don’t know. I just stand up and resign. They were all suprise. They didn’t want to accept my recognition. After the prayer meeting our brothers went to pray for an old man,,,,prostate cancer the doctors gave up hope for and sent him home to die. That night, Pastor gave me the privilege to anoint and pray for Uncle William. On my way home it struck me that I don’t know where to go. Came home told my wife. First Sunday away from the church where I gave my heart to Jesus. Second Sunday I visited my friend’s church. Second Sunday at his church I asked him for a envelope to put in my tithes.They never gave tithes to the Lord, but the congregation follow me with tithing and offering.
After that was settled,, we moved on to a church near to us. In that church they did a lot of unscriptable thing. They didn’t have prayer meetings. I started to lead prayer meetings and Bible reading. They let me in there monthly meetings and I learned and teach them. to read the bible and pray. In the beginning of December 2013 in one of the meetings the voice came to me that,,,The plan that He gave me for the church its not for them its for me. It was a Saturday. From that next day I never turned back to that church. Every Sunday morning me and my wife fight. Why are you not going to church anymore. I can’t tell her. I was scared of what will happen. It goes on for 6months every Sunday morning fighting.
At the beginning of December 2013 was the first time in that 6months I took my wife to the door. The Saturday night I was playing my guitar in our small sitting room and just leave it there with the small keyboard. For that 6months I pray from when my wife left home until who knows, but never get that break through I was looking for.After closed the door I go straight to the sitting room not to pray, but just to sit and relax. Sit down and there’s the voice again deep from my inner being.
START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.
That moment I realized that I sit in between the guitar and the keyboard.
I asked deep within me, who must play it,and the voice answer
Elize.
Gone was the voice, I nearly laughed because my wife can’t play any of the instruments.
31December 2013 what are we gonna do. I said,,pray into the new year,and that is where we start our church. First Sunday morning my wife took the keyboard and just started to play.
After our first Sunday Sunday morning service I told her the whole story.
Praise God
Your brother in Christ
CHRISTIAAN J FRANS.
I am honoured taking this course because it paint a bigger picture into knowing Gods call and eagerly prescised on what he may be calling me into. Also i happy to know that it is not about us but every thing is centered around God and his Will for us . I had the call of God many years back .. this picture of the call came as a sign in my dream calling me to serve but it was never clear until i kept going closer to God and hearing his voice and by the comfirmations of scriptures and prophetic words giving to me by other prophets…..
This course has opened my eyes to understand my calling. I have realized how God calls one to ministry, how to listen to the voice of God and align it with God-given gifts and abilities.
At the end of it all is to serve in ministry bringing a reflection of God’s Kingdom on earth.
Am so blessed and grateful for all the knowledge I have gotten here.
I have learned that God calls people for ministry to serve in various areas not only the fivefold ministries but as well all of us have got a call to be children of God and also invite others for the Kingdom of God, we have to learn to hear the voice of God and obey Him in whatever He want us do.
I want to thank God to have connected me to Axx college.l have learned on God’s call.how to hear God, different types of voices.l have also learned on the relationship between the call and gifts.l have deepened my understanding on the kingdom of God and his will on Planet Earth.
I’m happy to have successfully finish this particular course. I learnt a lot from the lesson teachers involved. I learnt the various ways God calls and how to respond, I learnt how to effectively hear from God and knowing His voice. Even the clarification I got from Gifts& callings with Ministry cannot be overemphasized.
Thank you so much for such a great privilege and and awesome time. God bless you and continue to increase Axx in Jesus name. Amen 🙏
When I hear about the last session about the perspective of the kingdom of God. All the previous topics that had been discussed was sum up of this perspective. I mean why do I am called is because God has a purpose and that purpose is for His Kingdom meaning because He called me to serve His purpose and that is to expand or advance His Kingdom here on earth. That He wanted His will to be done here on earth as His will has done in heaven.
It has been great to learn about the call of God and the response to the call. The unit has motivated me to a closer relationship with God, understanding that God works through me to serve his purpose. I have understood that it is all about our Lord Jesus Christ and we get to serve in our calling when we intimately relate to him. The teaching on general call and specific call, hearing the voice of God
are of great blessing to my ministry. Thanks for the wonderful work.
It is good to align your needs, plans and dreams with God’s words whether big or small. I find it quite humbling that roadblocks in my life can be for honor and glory to God. Secondly, everyone should learn how to activate both or any of the general or specific calls for God’s kingdom according to his will on earth. Lastly, church planting or ministry is not for the fainthearted one it calls for prayer and teamwork because banking on my single gift cannot work on its own. For this, it is important to always listen to the voice of God in every situation you are in ,Amen
Again, I must thank God for the founder(s) and co-workers of this Bible College. With all sense of reasoning, I must admit that what you are giving out in building the last the church is something that some of us (beneficiaries) cannot afford sponsoring financially. I pray that God Almighty bless you richly.
Through the course l have known that sometimes God calls us to ministry but we provide a deaf ear. There are many ways that God calls people to His Ministry, what is needed is to hear and take action to the call. Responding to God’s doesn’t mean you have to be a pastor or prophet, we can even respond to God call within our daily work.
I am very delighted with this in that you don’t need to quit your present job to answer the God’s call, you can serve with all what you have around you.
It is my prayer that all of us will respond to the God’s call and start involving and alligning our plans to God.
Woow l am really enjoying being part of this program,a person is a person through other persons, the kind of knowledge l got so far shows me that l am in the right place ,the way the apostles in this platform teaches even if you are thick headed you will definitely understand their teaching so far so good l have a bigger picture of what l must do in the kingdom the topics that l have been taught so far have opened a new chapter for me the information l have acquired so far concerning gifts calling kingdom and many more have given me so much courage knowing that l can boldly stand and share with the congregation community and friends with boldness ,knowledge is the key to success l pray that anyone with a call of God must get knowledge wisdom and understanding so that when leading you won’t mislead people l personally will recomend axx coz of my experience so far , thank you so much my leaders may the good Lord keep on using you to raise equipped leaders of the kingdom of God.
Through out the courses,I was really bless,through our teacher teaching under the anointing of the Holy Ghost
1)I learnt that my calling is for the people around me,to meet their needs Spiritually and physically
2)I also learnt that we are to reach out to sinners in the society to preach Christ to them,not only within the church(mathew28:18-20)
3)I also learnt that we have to seek God face in prayer and fasting and meditating in the word of God to hear the still small voice of God(1king19:12)
4)I learnt that for me to have hundred fold growth in ministry,the anointing ,ability and heart(soft or contrite heart) must works together
5)I should allow scripture to direct me and ministries assignment(1peter2:5,Hebrew 4:12),need to meditate and study always(joshua1:8)
6)l learnt that for you operate in grace zone you have to:
I)Minister in your anointing
Ii)Develop your talent and abilities
III)Live your dream
7)my call and my gifts must be focus on Jesus Christ
8)Obedience to the word of God and voice of God is the key to success in ministry(philipians2:12-16)
9)I understand between calling and timing(manifesting or commission) and to have good relationship with God and people
10)The first call is call to God himself(repentance) and secondary is the specific call (2cor7:10)
11)The five fold ministry is for growth and equipping the saints(Eph4:11-13)
12)ministry within is to train the saint to care for each other and understanding to fulfill the mission of God(soul winning)
Am so grateful to have been exposed to such a powerful training. The course is designed to equip and train one in way am alligned with the plan of God.
Am better placed to download from God in prayers and His word and being able to apply the purposes of God effectively.
For me it’s not really one particular part but the whole course on Gods call your Response. I strongly testify that I am blessed by the study I have had. It has helped me to know really what is a call. I have been struggling to plant a church and was beginning to doubt if I heard God correctly. This study has helped me to confidently know that He is with me. I may not see the results right now but I delight in doing what He has called me for. So thank you very much for illuminating the darkness of ignorance and doubt. I look forward to the following lesson. God bless
The fact is that, before this course I had been struggling with whether I was called or not. For thirty years now, I lived in doubts of the voice I heard. My joy knows no bound today, having known that it was actually God’s voice that I heard on the night of October 4, 1992,
God started using in 1999 I was 7 years by then when I started hearing the voice of God and the force of the Holy Spirit that would take me to somebody and begin to Preach to them and miracles,signs and wonders would take place that’s when I began to see that God called me,My mother was a traditional healer and she sent me to church were I grew.
This course help to understand God’s calling . My testimonial is I have to close out the world in order to hear God speaking to me . My spouse in the hospital and everyone is telling me to come home but I’m waiting on God to lead the way and speak to me.
In terms of spiritual growth i have learnt God’s call depends on ones availability and acceptance to the role since determination helps in more focus to hearing God’s voice. Therefore AXX has helped me understand more on God’s call to my response, through realising that all plans are in my mind and my heart but only God direct or has the last answer to my life.
Since the beginning of this course the Lord helped me with understanding and hearing skills about this course and and about the call of God in my life and some of these teachings are a confirmation of what God spoke to me about my ministry and I believe through God’s Grace I will walk in His path as I am taught in AXX .
THANK YOU
This course is really an eye opener to me, for years i had been taken the enemy’s voice to be that of God. That voice sounds louder and forceful and i will conclude that I have heard the Lord louder and clearer.
This course has made me understand my call and help me know my General calling and specific calling.
It has also let me know that the Kingdom isn’t about myself but about the society.
At first my mind was like hearing God voice is only audible but through this studies proving by scripture has let me know the various way of which God speaks and I have known my.
Man oo man this course is an
eye opener
The unit opens my understanding to God’s call and how to respond to it. I also learned the differences between gifts and call. Ministry being service and areas I can service. I learned about Church based service, work or market based service and community based service and aligning myself with God’s purpose. I now see call and ministry much better. I pray that God will help me to align myself to his will.
I have learnt alot about how to know that God has called me and the different ways in which God calls people. It’s also interesting that the calling and gifts of God go hand in hand and one need to be careful not to focus on just one of them. We must pray, fast, meditate and learn to listen and recognize the voice of God.
I have learnt a lot in this unit about God’s call,have learnt the true meaning of discipleship which is to truly follow Christ as Lord or an apprentice and that am not just called to be a disciple but also a disciple maker.I now understand that there is a general call which is for everyone like witnessing and also a specific calling.
Have learnt how to allow Scripture to define and direct my calling,the different aspects of Ministry like church Ministry which is service in the church,Ministry within the church which is about bearing each others burden and doing good to those of the household of Faith.Market place ministry which involves taking the Mission of Christ to our day to day activities in the Market place where men can see our Good works and be drawn to God as we serve as unto the Lord.
Learnt that my calling is unique,it to people and involves my voice,I know that one has to not only have an anointing but must also have a heart for those you are called to minister to by identifying your gifts and abilities which you must develop for that anointing to be effective.
Was so blessed by the unit of hearing God’s voice,I now know that although God speaks in a variety of ways, he is personal and for me to hear his voice i must desire to hear him and also be willing to obey.I have also learnt that God’s kingdom perspective is not about me,its interconnected and is concerned with caring about those around us in a way that embodies the will of God.

Have learnt a lot from defining ministry up to hearing the voice of God and involving God in your plans and the only way to know Gods plans is to listen carefully to His voice.
Thank you great man and women of God for such great knowledge you have imparted to me l will forever treasure it.
In this coarse l have learned a lot but a lot about God’s call. l used to think ministry is only about standing in front of a pulpit and preaching but through this coarse l have learned that its ministry is a service we offer to God according to our call and lso l learned that Ministry is not for my personal goals but rather (1) God’s glory (2) helping other people (3) Building God’s church. During this coarse l have learned and developed so much in my relationship with God and l now have clear understanding about ministry, God’s voice, anointing, abilities, passion, gifts..Thank you Jesus
It is been a great journey with AXX because i now know that ministry can’t be built only through a gift but it supposed to have a proper balance including a call by God. I have to do ministry with love and driven by God also be able to distinguish voices. Demons can speak and God too but there’s a different, God is calm and patient he doesn’t bring division as demons does thanks to AXX team
THANKS A LOT ONCE AGAIN IN THE PAST I USED TO HAVE SOME CHALLENGES ON HOW TO IDENTIFY THE CALL OF GOD,HOW TO ANSWER THE CALL OF GOD,HOW TO HEAR HIS VOICE,IT WAS QUITE CHALLENGING IN MY LIFE I WAS LIKE THINKING MAYBE ONE DAY GOD IS GONNA TO SPEAK TO ME IN A MANNER THAT HE SPOKE TO MOSES IN THE BURNING BUSH.BUT AFTER UNDERGOING THESE POWERFUL TEACHINGS IAM TELLING ITS AWESOME SOMETHING NEW BIGGER THAN EVER IS BURNING ALL AROUND MYSELF. I NOW KNOW HOW TO HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD CLEARLY WOW THIS IS SO GOOD ITS FANTASTIC GOD IS REALLY FULFILLING HIS PLANS ON ME.
In all the lessons that I have through, I have learned a lot and my life and ministry will never be the same. A profound understanding of the word, leadership skills, listening to God’s voice. This came at the right time for to enhance my understanding and to become effectively involved in what God doing in the earth. Thank you AXX for the opportunity to learn with you free of charge.
Its been a huge blessing for me as i took this course. Ministry became so clear that the guilt as a school teacher who is not fulfilling ministry left me as I was taught about ministry in the marketplace. This course also gave me a clear view on how to hear God for myself. Am a better version of me who took this course.
Never before have I seen the subject of God’s call dealt with in such a comprehensive manner. This course touches on everything, from your job to your spiritual gifts. From training on how to hear the voice of God to how to be fruitful. Finally it deals with lots of misconceptions about calling and ministry. Thank you AXX for this course.
Axx bible college is a great blessing to my life, through this platform i have learned alot especially on the topic of GOD’S CALL ,Now i understand how to Identify my calling and walk it according to will of God,i have also learn how to recognize the voice of God and differentiate from the other voices,am blessed than ever…glory to God
It is amazing how God calls His people.It is unique,simple,commands,instructs,speaks,challenging and at times leaves us surprised.All these works so as to understand that He has all that it takes for His own Glory of His name.For my case I have learned that the God calls one with the divine purpose and hence need to respond to such calling with wisdom,listening and meditating His voice keenly.Therefore His calling to me justifies that I need to serve Him and His people according to His guidance and empowerment of Holy Spirit.Thanks to Axx for such great opportunity to learn through the guidance of the facilitators whom I appreciate for their commitment and sacrifice to be with me and to many others.May the Lord grant you favour to continue helping and serving many souls to join the Kingdom of God .AMEN🙏🙏🙏
I really thank God for connecting me with axx Bible college. And I thank God for the life of the founder Dr. Brendan Roach, and all the Lectures/Professors.
This unit has help me greatly to recognize or understand the voice of God. And also to know the different voices I.e. Divine, Demonic and self/others. I also learned that, the voice of God has weight, authority, it’s calm, it’s steady, it’s quite and always has life.
My understanding about Ministry has be expand through this teaching. That ministry is about God and service to others.
Even though I have been in ministry for a while, but through this teaching is as if an getting started.
I have learned a lot.
Thanks to the entire team of axx for imparting the knowledge of God upon my life. And for sharing their ministry experience.
It’s a blessing for me to be part of axx Bible College
Thanks.
Am grateful.
My life has been at a point of transition that I had to define my next step in ministry. Studying this course of God’s call you response was such a helping tool to the point that I could pause to ask myself questions on what exactly God was speaking to me. Timely interpretation of signs in my life that could help me interpret the voice and call of God on my life. I can say that I’m now intensely seeking God for direction to make an informed decision on the call of God in my life on matters full time ministry.
I have been blessed by this section , I am glad for the depth of knowledge I’ve received from God through the distinguished ministers and facilitators.
The confidence to ascertain if indeed a believer is called into a certain ministry is one of the pressing issues in the kingdom today. Like this brilliant session emphasized ; it will take hearing and familiarizing with that presence of God to know God’s intentions for us which are always good and in line with the kingdom.
This session has transformed my thinking about the call of God and how I need to respond.
I have been challenged to rethink my Christianity and how I align my actions and response to God’s call.
Going forward, by the grace of God through prayer, meditation and action I will not neglect my general and specific calling as both are important in my response to God’s call. Previously, there times when I ocassionally neglected either the general or specific calls as I wanted to avoid conflict. But this has been clarified. I thank God for this enriching growth on my journey as an effective follower of Jesus Christ.
In depth i have come to learn how to respond to the call of God. The position of my gifting, how to hear the voice of God and respond. How to relate with others in line with my calling and many more. Am stronger than I was hallelujah 🙌
Wow I learnt that when God speaks to us he speaks in a gentle way. God often speaks when we are away from all the noise that is presented by our day to day life. When we draw close to him and when we are still he will speak to us
I enjoyed these sessions so much. God’s call your response really challenged me in that I should focus my heart on God’s will and purpose. This session also confirmed and cemented so much that I already knew God was saying to me. I am also now reassured that I indeed did hear God speaking to me and that I don’t have to doubt when He does because He speaks and calls us in different ways. There is no formula or one way that God speaks or calls, as long as we experience the peace of God and recognize His voice and follow His leading we will walk in His Will for our lives.
Once again I thank Axx and pray that God continue to bless you all for the wonderful opportunity offered me to learn. In this session I now know that where I have been passionate in is likely where my callin is. Also I need to now work in line with God’s broad purpose or kingdom on the earth
Praise be to God Most High.
God’s call is His will for us and for the Earth. A good understanding of God’s will on earth help us to understand God’s call for us and how we ought to respond.
This wonderful course gives a clearer view of what God’s call for us is and we should respond. We constantly need to hear and follow God’s voice and also do His will.
You have to know general calling and specifically calling.
Different dimensions of God’s voice and how you react . Involving God on all your steps and plans. Always be in God’s presence ( Prayer, fast, scripture reading) .Refrain from any kind of seen, walk in Jesus’s foot steps and be His great follower.Moniter your ways to identify what’s you have been called for and this should be aligned with God’s ways.Upgrade your skills, talents and Gifts.Realise ministry zones ie Annointing,Abilities ,Heart&Grace.Enlarge your tent.Multiply and be fruitful. Clear clarification if it’s God’s voice or Demons’ or your thinking voice.
Lastly have humanity ( ubuntu) be in a working spirit space in love with others. Let the Kingdom come and the will of God be done on Earth as done in Heaven.
Good day
One of the many things that I learned about salvation is how I am to respond to the calling of God, How to hear the voice of God and how to differentiate between his voice and that of the enemy. I am proud to say that the lessons have opened my heart, my mind and my eyes. Now I know that it is not just about me, but it is also about my society, the kingdom of God and his will. I had too many unanswered questions about salvation before taking these lessons, but I would like to thank the team of teachers, for dedicating their time in teaching the word of God. After hearing the teachings one has but one thing to do, to go and let others know about God’s salvation, His call and how we ought to respond to his calling. May you be richly blessed.
This course has impacted me in many ways, it helped me to discern the many ways that God can call us. I have heard God’s Audible Voice and the still small voice spoken about during the course. I loved the way the lecturers explained everything, which gave a clear understanding of God’s Kingdom and His will being done on this earth. God bless AXX
I have learnt a lot, i have really realized the importance of knowing your call, hearing from God not only that but that God aligns our abilities with his call and purpose in our lives. In knowing your call you also need to take responsibility and plan everything out in order to fulfill ones call. Thank You may the Lord bless you
Let me take this golden chance to give thanks to all lectures Regan Perry,Brenda,Roach,Kay Dohle and others who were involved to take me through this course and full Axx entire team who made this to be possible be blessed, I have. Learnt alot in this course God’s call your response I have learnt alot about my calling, different types of calling the General and specific calling, I have learnt more on Ministry, mission, through this course I came to know that there is church becouse there is a mission, I was blessed and learnt alot during the interview in the unique aspects of ministry, I have learnt more on discipleship that to be a disciple is a disciple maker and Christian is to be disciple to be a disciple is to be a disciple maker, I have gained experience on the Ministry, the church based ministry, this doing good to everyone especially the family of faith as is on Galatians 6:10, the market place ministry, community based ministry, I learnt alot on the ministry Zones which I was taken through by Brenda Roach, the anointing zone, the heart zone, the ability zone, here I have learnt how I can minister my anointing,develop my ability and live my dream and keep my heart soft.f last but not least I thank God for Kay Dohle who took me through Hearing the voice of God and how to recognize the voice that speaks to me whether it’s a Devine or God’s voice or Demonic voice or Self I learnt that God speaks to my spirit and his voice is calm, steady, quality but demonic voice is loud, urgent his voice is to distruct and to bring down, after this course now I can differentiate this voices and know who is really speaking to me, finally I have learnt more about Gift and calling where I learnt that my gift is not my calling, and finally the Kingdom perspective, there are alot I have learnt it was a wide course but I thank God to have gone through every bit, thanks to all the teams be blessed in Jesus name hope to learn more
This topic is amazing: I have learnt a lot from this course. I have particularly learnt that : whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the conditions of my ears and what I hear also depends upon my spiritual attitude. I have learnt also that a call of God is an invitation to partnership with God to establish His Kingdom on earth as Apostle said in 1 Cor. 3:9 “We are co-workers in God’s service” (- in building his Kingdom ). The Kingdom of God is not about individuals’ personal spirituality, but about God’s perfect dream society on earth, encompassing the whole world. God’s kingdom is interconnected. it is about caring for others. It is about love, is about justice, it is about living in peace with all others and in wisdom.
I now understand that ministry is about service, Ministry is for God’s glory, and it is about others welfare to build up the people of God. Eph. 4: 11 -12.
I have also learnt that I should always allow scripture to define and to direct me. To read the scriptures at all times and meditate on them to hear God speaking to me as God always speak via His work. God has different ways of calling people so I should compare my calling to others as everyone’s calling may be different. My task is to listen to God’s instructions and simply obey. From this lesson, I shall always involve and align God in my plans, whether big or small.
God bless AXX so much for opportunity to learn.
In the course of this study God really open my eyes in the different dimensions to hear from God and answer him when ever he chooses for his work on Earth, and assurance covers you when ever you respond to the call of God without delay, glory to God in the highest.
It is a pleasure to write a review about the lessons that I have learned through precious men of God. In this module “God’s call your response” I have got a lot more clarity about God’s call, and how people respond to the call. In particular, I learned that WE HAVE BEEN CALLED IN VARIOUS WAYS IN VARIOUS TIMES. AND WE WERE RESPONDED BOTH IN ACTION AND IN CONVICTION. While Dr. Brendan Roach teaches about the ministry zone, he extracts the principle from the parable, making it so simple and practical that it gives us a new understanding. though I know a few things about hearing the voice of God, Kay Dohle explains it in an exceptional way and made me listen to lessons interestingly. Overall I enjoyed every lesson, and I am very much blessed. Thank you so much.
As a lead pastor of Emunah Ministries-Uganda, I had a challenge with listening to God’s voice but thanks to Axx. God bless you as a team. I had first a wonderful sermon on does God still talk to his people. Yes what a grate service was it . today many believers came with dreams of all nature and glory to God for a better communication with me in this few days real Hallelujah Praise to God for your service. Kay thanks a lot praying that i have face on face spiritual discussion . The Holy spirit was real during your lecture am real blessed.
This has been on of the most intensive units in this course. I have learnt that the Kingdom of God is about His dream society for the earth where His will his done. It is about the aspect of ubuntu principle being implemented where people are not selfish but generous towards each other. The unit has also taught me not to build a ministry based on a gift but a call since the latter is bigger than a gift. The purpose of the gift is also to point people to God not to ourselves. I have also learnt to learn and recognize God’s voice just like sheep learn over time to recognize the voice of God over others. Ministry zones also eye-opening where it is important to do the call of God in our lives within our anointing, passionately with all our abilities as we continue to build them.
The primary and most aspects of God’s call is the call to Himself. The call is always about him. God is jealous about us. And it will be about us orienting or re-orienting in the direction of him or who he is.
So there will be a direction to our call and little having orientation about it.
The way we know if it the or a call it if it is about him.
Tthe secondary calling is our specific outworking of his call. Calling is not just a mission statement that we put upon wall that sometimes inspires us. A calling is something we are asked to do. When God calls us, he is not just that he is saying something to make us feel inspire. he is actually asking something of us. So there is going to be a response and an action to it.
Two aspects of God’s call:
-It’s about him
– It involve some sort of response.
The call of God is mysterious and it is really hard to describe.
* To Isaiah it is a booming voice from the sky
*To John it might habe been a voice while he was on the island of Patmos.
* To moses, it was a burning bush.
* To others it might have been a still small voice.
-It is a little bit undefinable.
Therefore the call of God will come in a way that we can hear and hear it so clearly and then interprete it and act it out that we would be surer of that than some of the material things in our lives that we can see, touch and taste.
There is nothing surer than the call of God. It is constant.
The call of God is going to come to us loosing ourselves. That is, if I have the call of God and if I understand when God speaks, there is an obligation to obedience in that speaking, then am I going to loose who I am? and am I going not to be able to do what am always want to do?
-God does call us to “be ourselves” and “do what we are”.
-But we are only “ourselves” and can only “do what we are” when we follow God’s call.
We live in daily submission to a host of authorities who circumscribe our freedom: from parents to traffic police officers to dog catchers. All authorities are to be respected and, as the Bible declares, honored. But only one authority has the intrinsic right to bind the conscience. God alone imposes absolute obligation, and He does it by the power of His holy voice.
He calls the world into existence by divine imperative, by holy fiat. He calls the dead and rotting Lazarus to life again. He calls people who were no people “My people.” He calls us out of darkness and into light. He effectually calls us to redemption. He calls us to service.
Our vocation is so named because of its Latin root vocatio, “a calling.” The term vocational choice is a contradiction in terms to the Christian. To be sure, we do choose it and can, in fact, choose to disobey it. But prior to the choice and hovering with absolute power over it is the divine summons, the imposition to duty from which we dare not flee.
It was vocation that drove Jonah on his flight to Tarshish and caused his terrified shipmates to dump him in the sea to still the vengeful tempest. It was vocation that elicited the anguished cry from Paul, “Woe is me if I do not preach the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:16). It was vocation that put a heinous cup of bitterness in the hands of Jesus.
The call of God is not always to a glamorous vocation, and its fruit in this world is often bittersweet. Yet God calls us according to our gifts and talents, and directs us to paths of the most useful service to His kingdom. How impoverished we would be if Jonah had made it to Tarshish, if Paul had refused to preach, if Jeremiah really had turned in his prophet’s card, or if Jesus had politely declined the cup.
I am enjoying the journey here as I am really growing in knowledge and spirit.
This section has really enlightened me in a lot of aspects, from knowing what a call is, a ministry and the mission. understanding your call in God’s Kingdom is very important. For me when we are God it is really important to obey Him, He wants His people to OBEY. I came to understand that ministry is not only in church and for people in church but we need to represent and talk about Christ everywhere.
In hearing God’s voice, sometimes people ignore the voice of God because they want to prioritize their wants, which in turn can be not want God wants about us. So, it is important to hear God speak to us, and let HIs will be done not our will….remember it is never about us but it’s about Him who called us. It is also important to stay aligned with God and always seek Him so to have a concrete relationship in Him/with Him. Also for the purpose of hearing Him when He speaks to us.
My testimony is that I learnt a lot of things which I did know it .and my prayer life is not the same and now I believe that I will hear the Gods voice and how to run a ministry and also how to plant a ministry and I have also discovered my call and my gift too.I thank you axx teachering God bless this bible school.I have so many revelations.
This training has been a blessing and a bridge to me for my calling, I have learned a lot of things, what God’s call is and how to respond to the calling of God and many many more. For that I’m really grateful and so happy of what the axx clue has done to me, I’m excited and I’m giving my appreciation to the founder of things training, the lectures, the sponsors of this institution and everyone involved I say thank you so much for coming up with this program, and my prayer is may the lord God all might bless the founder Dr Brendan and all the lectures and everyone hand that contributes for the growth of the institution in Jesus might name. You have helped me a lot and continue helping others who have less opportunities to aquire such training.
Hallo my dear people of God I have gone through some lessons in this section of study and I have seen changes in my thinking and understanding.
When I started I was nevous but the way I went on to answer some more, it occurred to me that I was moving somehow and my understanding of God calling became very clear to me.
I have my weaknesses and I needed something that would bring my understanding to realize my call. I have been drawn to this topic of CALLING to an extent that I thought it’s the only subject that I needed to learn. It has changed my way of viewing the calling in the life of a christian. I have been reading and listening to the videos manytimes a day. I believe the selecter decided on this topic because of its significance. I love this topic it has opened my hearing to know my calling and I am able now to teach in my congregation about calling and how it should be given prerioty.
Our calling is different just the way God designed it. It’s unique in it’s form.
I want the thanks God for you guys because l have come to know a lot of things like unsoual calling, the ministry zone 1-4, biblical principals, especially this recturing of hearing from God you talked about voice God,the voice of devil and the mind,and also the issue of gifts and calling.
This course has intrinsically widened my scope through imparted, implanted, replicated knowledge acquired to be enacted judiciously and meticulously. learning to hear from God is essential to all believers as part of their walk in faith to help curb unnecessary setbacks and pitfalls in life and ministry. The difference between the callings and gifts of God; how to identify and manage them are vital to one and all. I overwhelmed and enriched with the blessings of this course.
Through this course I have learnt to always purse the call of God for my life, always, as God’s call is always progressive. I should always be sensitive to His voice. This has greatly impacted my ministry and am so grateful to God for this.
This particular course has been very impactful to me, and I have all the reasons to thank God for being part of it. Having participated in it has really nourished my spiritual understanding on the calling if God and how we are supposed to respond to it. This is not my first time to learn about God’s Call, but this is more detailed, more concise and more practical. Here are some few among many points I would like to highlight, that drew my attention as I was going through the course:
1. We are called to be, not just to do. Discipleship is not primarily what you do for God, but being confirmed in the image of His Son, our Master. A disciple will be like His Master.
2. The general vs the specific call. All believers have a common call they need to respond to, but also everyone has an area where is uniquely called to function. And none of the two should overshadow the other;they are equally important.
3. Understanding ministry in both the “perfected” and “permitted” life, without engaging in dichotomy. No tension nor separation between the two. This is well understood in embracing the three levels of ministry, according to various callings:
A. Church based ministry
B. Marketplace ministry
C. Community based
ministry.
We just need to understand in which area of ministry we are called.
4. We are called in various ways and various timings. There is a moment of calling, and an ongoing nature if our calling. Our response should be therefore in Action and in Conviction.
5. Your calling can be unique(may appear weird), but still genuine as long as it: glorified God, and points to Jesus.
6. 100 fold fruitfulness in ministry is the result of maximum engagement of: A. The Anointing zone, B. The heart zone, and C. The Ability zone. These should be engaged interdependently and we need to develop, grow, increase in all these.
7. Processing our calling should be understood as a journey, rather than an event. While you hear from God, you need to keep engaging with Him as you process your call. He has a call, but also a plan.
8. Lastly, we should make sure that our calling fits in the bigger picture in order to validate it. This is the Kingdom of God. This is a community which makes us who we are in Him, which we are part of. Our calling should not be in isolation, or a kind of individual spirituality. We must fit into what God is doing on a wider scale. It is all about God, and not us.
I would also like to recommend all the lecturers for their profound presentation, Regan Perry, Key Dohle, Dr Brendan Roach. They know the journey they are taking us to. They also bear a sense of knowledge enriched with practical experience. It has been a great blessing to listen to and be impacted by them.
First l would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team of Acc bible college for this wonderful work. This course was a big blessing to me as l was listening and watching the videos I felt the spirit of God telling me to start praying as the servants of God were teaching. I felt something unsual flowing from the head to the bottom of my legs. I just want to say that May the Lord bless these instructors and expand their territories in Jesus name amen. I have really learned a lot from these course and I feel blessed thank very much God bless you for this powerful teachings.
It’s a blessing to learn that we are supposed to be obedient to God for as to know our calling and listen to his voice as people of axx bless as we are also blessing our local church May God bless you for the service you are giving as freely.
I am privileged to know how God speaks in different other than audible voice , dreams and through person as it is stated in book of job, through this course i learnt that God can affect the mind as a way of communicating, and can use the circumstances around us, and also a gift to make a godly impact in ministry there must be a call.
learnt about specific calls and general call, where i see a need that means that is where God is calling me to serve.
Serving God is not only for clergies but we are all in priesthood ministry
I now understand there are unusual call and usual one, it is better to read the bible and also seek the voice of the Holyspirit instead of judging others.
This course is a means of God voice to transform , equip me and my ministry
To know and fully understands the call of God in your life I think is one of the biggest problem we have today in the Christendom.
There was a time when I took my general call as my specific call in ministry. I love to evangelise. Likes to talk to people about Jesus. Then I engaged all my time and energy in that without hearing from God. I did this for years without any fruit and I got frustrated and discouraged. Later, God spokes to me in a dream where I stood before a congregation preaching His word. He gave me scripture to confirms His call in my life as being a Pastor. Also, God has been speaking to me through studying and meditating on His word. Initially I was scared how am I going to preach to others, because I easy get nervous whenever I stand before people and also I lack the ability to counsel and preach to a crowd. But when i gave myself to God to be taught, guided by elders in the faith, and now I am bold enough to stand before a congregation to preach, I now have the wisdom to counsel and rightly divides Gods word to feed people.
God’s call is so important to us Christians, after going through the lessons have discovered a number of things. We will understand God’s plan better when we hear his call upon our lives.I must say am blessed alot and my christian life will never be same.
The call of Samuel (1 Samuel 3, 3-10 )
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. Esaie 6/8 The call of God the answer
Revelation 5
2/ I also saw a mighty angel, crying with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the scroll, and to loose the seals thereof?
3/ And no one, neither in heaven, nor on earth, nor under the earth, could open the book, nor look at it.
4 /And I wept much, because no one had been found worthy to open the book, or to read it, or to look at it.
5 /And one of the elders said unto me, Weep not; behold, the lion, which is of the tribe of Judah, the offspring of David, hath overcome to open the book and loose the seven seals thereof.
This course reminded me that Jesus also responded to God’s call by coming to offer himself at the cross of Calvary to pull me out of the mire of sin. not only me but all who believe in his perfect work.
On the mission field one comes across all the cases that have been mentioned. And I was impressed with the statistics
may the Lord help us to honor his call.
thank you to all the facilitators of this module God bless you
I am blessed about the lesson how to hear from God. Many times i was mistaken thinking that God speaks to us through audible voice only. I thank axx ministry for making me to understand ways in which God communicates wis us.i also encourage my fellow co-workers in the Lord to continue to be still, to listen, to desire to hear and to recognize how God speaks to individuals.
My name is Yizukanji Sikombe from Tanzania, I have already done all courses which needed for graduation of my course.

Summary
For all courses I have learned many issues to my life which are type of leadership to the church , many churches are don’t stable because of dictatorship leadership , founders of the churches most of them they don’t want any member to the church to ask on money and other resources ,pastors are considering that the property of the church are their family properties.
Also to many churches the administration structure are not available a pastor is a leader of everything.
Not only that but also many of leaders are not depending God to their ruling their ruling as their selves and not the power of God and the fainaly the church fail.
Suggestion.
Leaders must use democracy to rule their churches and being responsible to the Christianity
Second all readers must be the good example of manners to the society and not to be bad behavior to the society
Third.Pray the lord before doing any thing to your life .
All God help me in my study to be a pastor .

I learnt that there is more to our spiritual attitude in response to the call of God that dictates the success of the Great Mission of Our LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST., It all starts with obedience to the call of GOD and commitment to Ministry work which helps us grow and understand how to execute on our specific calls. We are tasked to make disciples through mentorship. The aspect of hearing from GOD is vital since it helps us align with his plan under the anointing and developed ability to fulfilment of our dreams in ministry work. Finally the great mission is meant for all Christian to reach to communities for the Kingdom of God to grow.
I have learned about God’s call and our response or our actions to take towards fulfilling God’s call.This call is based on church setting, the marketplace or workplace and community based calling and ministry. I also learned that there is a general ministry (discipleship, evangelism, worship, community, family and Friends) and specific ministry (Evangelist , teacher and professional , Lawyers and Doctors). Thirdly discipleship is being a disciple and being disciple maker.I learned that there is ministry zone for producing 30 , 60 and 100 folds .We operates by the anointing, abilities and heart to be fruitful in this ministry zone. The another lesson was how to listen God’s voice in your calling , the kingdom perspective and lastly we are called to Go not in the church context (we are no longer to bring or say come to church) but we go to their context.Thank you very much Axx and donors for supporting this course.
For me this course has been an eye opener to know that to whatever ministry I am called it is all about God not me. That hearing God demands that all other noises around me be silenced. This gives me a new dimension in my walk with the Lord
Thanks so much for this study. It is an opportunity for one to be equipped in the call of God for one’s life. Its also an add up for one who has already had formal theological study.
Great for many church leaders who did have the opportunity going into Bible college to study.
I am privileged being enrolled into this course.
MISSION IS GOD’S IDEA AND EVERYONE MUST GET INVOLVED IN IT. This study has made me to see that the theme Missions covers the whole bible bible from Genesis to revelation.
That God has the heart for the unreached world to be reached. This needs the involvement of every Christian.
The intent of God: God has the intention to redeem the whole world unto Himself through preaching the gospel,, making disciples of all nations.
There’s therefore the need for one to understand what missions is before getting involved into it. One should be careful not to take church activities as mission successes. Also not to think that because we are not into full time in ministry we can’t get involved in missions.
We are also to understand our call whether it is general call or specific call. To get involved in missions you should know different areas of ministry by the spirit of God in church and to the world.
Convictions shouldn’t lead to wied ways in responding to the call of God.
God has called we have to respond and give time for growth.
It is important that in missions or responding to the called of God one have to hear from God involving God in all of you. For God demands our obedience..
The urge is that Christians carry the gospel to the whole world.
It was a blessing to learn that God speaks to us even in our sinful state just like He did to Adam/Eve and Cain.
We just have to provide an enabling environment, remain calm and focus in order to hear from God.
It also more expedient to go to the people or send disciples out with the word rather than invite or expect people to bring. We have to evangelize our community
Anointing, ability and heart- got to me. Then, how to hear God’s voice. I had to step away from this study a few times to apply what I was learning in my spiritual disciplines, study, waiting, praying for others. Setting aside quality time to reflect on God’s leading to ‘Go’ and make disciples. A very enriching unit. I feel so blessed to hear the Word, teaching, and to be prayed for. Thank you Kay. Thank you to Regan, Kay and Dr Brendan for valuable teaching and for your wisdom. Praising God for your continued obedience to His calling.
This course has really opened my understanding as a Christian. Jesus came to save the whole world, and if I heard the gospel and saved; I also have the responsibility to share my life in Christ and “go” and save others. In this am fulfilling the great commission. We are all called in the commission to share the gospel of Christ and support all those engaged in reaching out to the communities and nation afar. Therefore, we are all called in different ways, as also we hear the call of the voice of God in different ways. Our God, is God of diversities; He does not achieve things in the same manner! I have learnt about different men of God, how they were called and how they heard God’s calling for themselves. Some it was usual while others unusual by the same God! In conclusion, we are born with a purpose to fulfill from our Heavenly Father. Let’s all share the gospel to every creation in all means we can afford for the kingdom of God to be realized. That’s “God’s dream society on earth, from Israel encompassing the whole world.” Thanks for this opportunity.
I thank God for the units covered, indeed what has been taught is a great blessing to me. Most of the things I thought they don’t matter have a deep implication into my walk as a Christian. I will ever seek the direction of God in everything and equally shade off those friends who subtract from me the gains made in my Spiritual life. May God continue to enlighten all the lecturers who have shared in these lessons.
Thank you
On God Call:
I was able to be enlightened under this session, the following were my main interests
1. How to hear the Voice of God. This subject is the basis of my transformation and developed on this area. I always wanted God guidance, unless God speak and hear clearly His voice nothing would be achieved.
Secondly Involving God in our Plans. I always trust my instincts when it comes to decisions making but i’ve develop much from this lesson….”it is important that we become people who can discern how God is working in our lives in order to be able to work with Him”
Thirdly: General and Specific Call, i’ve learned that a specific call should never overshadow our general -call mandate.
Fourth: Platforms For the Call; that the call involves my choice, the call is to people lastly the call will encompass aspects of leadership..

I have really enjoyed lessons and widen my understanding on God’s call and types of call. How God speaks to us and know how to hear and recognize the voice of God.
Among others are:
– types of ministry
– gifts and calling
-Obedience
– Allowing scripture to define and direct
– Ministry zones
As I am blessed with knowledge, may God also bless all the facilitators of the course.
I am blessed to take this course because i have now know that God can call and the different between call and gift. so I pray that God will help me to hear his call on my life and give methe power to do what he want me to do for him on this earth
First, I would like to thank God who gave me this opportunity to do this course. Next, I would like to thank all my teachers for their efforts they are making to share this good news. Through tis course I am equipped with skills and knowledge required to investigate biblical principles of the call of God for the ministry. Now i am able to differentiate the voice of God, the Voice of Satan and my own thoughts. Thank you once again.
Since I started this course, I began to experience the power of God as never before. The way of teaching the word has change to the best of my knowledge through this course. Many people are increasingly become touched by the power of the word in the last Two Months. Demonstration of power in healing and deliverance is very powerful.
Few testimonies just to name them are:
1. One day I was called by a person who knows the way God uses me and told my that her brother house has been set on fire. The fire has been burning things, such as clothes, Curtains and everything in the house. Many pastors have been called to pray but to no avail. I went with my team and got the house as a place of funeral. People lost hope for the demon has been burning things and nothing could stopped it. We just prayed with some family members and we prayed over the water and I asked them the house owner to go and spray the blessed water in the rooms and we just left. Believe the power of God or not, the moment the women spray over the water in the room at once the fire erupted from nowhere when the water touched the ground.
People thought that was the end of finishing the house by fire, but by the grace of God, the fire just quenched itself automatically. It was a great joy to the hopeless family. Since that time demonic fire never came again in the night or during the day and people where surprised the working power of God through us when many even Bishops from the catholic came and prayed but they could not stopped it.
2. There are many testimonies but the second last one was that a young 10 year boy was brought under demonic influence, he could tear down everything to the extend that he could break the battle of a glass and eat it by chewing it to pieces in his mouth and nothing could happen to him. His family tried all means from hospital to Witchcraft but they could not do it. Lastly when they brought it to my Church and I delivered him from that power he become normal and fit till this time. His family joined the Church through the wonderful testimony the lord has done to their boy.
Therefore, we are serving a miracle working God with the same power he granted unto his Apostles.
Glory be to God in the highest and peace to men on the earth.
