Great human relations skill can be taught. Being able to deal well with
people from all walks of life is an art and one that every Christian should
be trained in. Jesus said our love for Him is determined by how we love
and obviously treat others. In this module you will have a great deal of
fun learning how to treat your fellow man to bring out the best in them.
You will also be trained how to resolve conflict.
Practical training on how to lead and effect change in people within a cell
group environment is dealt with extensively in this module. You will receive
training as Intern Shepherd preparing you for future leadership positions
in your local church.
"Those who think they're leading when no one is following are merely taking
a walk". "People are not born leaders, leadership is taught". John Maxwell's
"Developing the leader within you" along with workshops on how to discover
where God has called you to lead and what equipment He has furnished you
with, forms the body of this module.
Have you ever noticed an apple tree straining to produce apples? No, it
happens naturally because the tree is rooted in fertile ground. Many Christian's
are struggling to produce fruit when really all we need to do is ensure
that we are rooted in the soil of God's Love and then the fruit will appear
naturally. The nine fruits are identified and cultivated in this module.
Why did He come and what did this unassuming, gentle and amazing man from
Galilee achieve that to this day would cause the world to talk about Him
so? As we study His earthly ministry closely we cannot but help discover
our own. The effects of His brief life on earth rendered the "god of this
world", satan powerless.
Because God is love, love needs to be defined. When we define true love
we define God. This module will have you falling in love with Him all over
again as you begin to discover how unconditional His love towards us really
is.
The bible tells us that Jesus was a "friend of sinners", not a casual acquaintance.
In today's Christian circles friendship with the lost is frowned upon so
now we will learn how to befriend the lost like Jesus did in order to reconcile
them to God without compromising our integrity and conduct. It is possible
and brings great joy.
There are many different types of prayer spoken of in God's word. This module
covers not only how to pray, but what prayer to pray and how to receive.
Because God gave us dominion over the works of His hands, He will only act
when we pray, which makes this module one of the most important in year
1.
These are the highest expressions of our faith. We are to worship and praise
God not only for what he does but more importantly for who He is. God gives
us a pattern of how to, when to and where to. In this module you will discover
the power, purpose and freedom of these three actions.
"The Spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord". The Holy Spirit lives in
our spirits and directs us into all truth. His voice is a still small voice
and we must listen carefully. Learn how to recognize and instantly obey
His leading. In this module your "spiritual" antenna will be set to begin
clearly hearing from God.
It is as easy to be healed as it is to be forgiven. That is the truth of
the gospel and in this module faith will rise in your heart not only to
receive and retain your healing, but minister healing to others.
Above all else, God desires a relationship and close fellowship with us.
He could not because of our fallen state and so set a plan in motion that
would qualify man to live on His level so that He would not have to live
on ours. He gave us right-standing as a gift so that we like Adam could
fellowship with Him once again. This module is dedicated to moving us form
sin consciousness to God consciousness.
Growth is not automatic. We must eat and drink to grow. Likewise, our spiritual
man needs to be fed in order to grow, not in size though but rather in stature.
There are few things as annoying as an adult who conducts himself like an
adolescent; likewise it's high time that we as Christians "grow up". This
module teaches us how.
Yes it's true, God "delights in the prosperity of His servant". We will
unravel the confusion of whether God wants us to be rich in material possessions
or not, balance material prosperity with the four other areas in which God
desires us to prosper, and a whole lot more.
God is not moved by our needs, only by faith. Faith in Christ and His word
for life, health and eternity only comes one way and in this module you
will learn not only how it comes but how to use it to live the God kind
of life.
The reasons are infinite but suffice to say that only when you discover
the purpose of a thing do you recognize its value and potential to elevate
your life. God has a plan for each of us, now He must get us ready for the
plan, and the tools of His trade? The word!
Knowing that the bible is God inspired, trustworthy above all else and a
work authored to effect change in fallen man is essential. In this module
you will discover that "in the beginning, was the Word" and how that word
predicted events thousands of years before they took place.
Upon successful completion of year one, students
will receive an earned certificate of completion, and gain eligibility to
enrol for the second year Diploma course.
