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.
