Firstly I want to thank Brother Casey and
Sister Devina for teaching us. I have learned a lot about Studying the three epistles and attending the
lessons. I hope I am able to put them all into practice and be able to teach it
to others too. I like how I need to fill in the blanks in the powerpoint as it
makes me pay more attention and I am able to remember easier what is being
taught. Thank you to sister Devina for once again teaching the structural
diagramming. It is very useful as I am able to come up with a outline for
preaching. However I need to practice more to be better at it.
There are many things that I have learnt in
the class. I am very blessed because the teachings were mostly about the
correcting of what has always been taught about the word of God. Overall, the
teaching that I can bring back is regarding self-control. I need to learn how
to have self-control and not just act according to my emotions or mood. I must
also not be shy or be afraid when I am sharing about the truth because God has
not given me the spirit of fear but of love and self-control. I must always
read the bible diligently and study the word so that I am able to teach it
according to what the bible teaches so that I will not be a false teacher and
lead people astray.
As a challenge to myself, I want to aspire
to be an overseer not because of power but because I want to serve God and
desire a noble work for the Lord. I must be a kingdom culture generation. to be
one who seeks God and not desires of this world. I must learn to be above
approach and have the qualities that is written in 1 Timothy 3:1-7. By the
grace and mercy of God, I pray I can be a good leader. Today I am leading a
group of youth and children in my ministry. I will put into actions what I have
learnt, thought they may be children or teenagers who seems not to understand
about the world. I believe through my moral conduct and actions, speech and
faith. I am supposed to be a light to them and direct them towards God.
As a woman of the faith, I need to be
careful with my actions and my attire as not to stumble the opposite sex. In my
good service with the Lord, I want to
have a good reputation with others and God. I also want to have great
confidence before God. I also understood that as a Christian, we should be
faithful and loyal to God despite the hardship that we can face in life. God
understands that we will have difficulties therefore He has given us the power
of the Holy Spirit, love and to be self-discipline to help us in our walk with
God when life is hard. We should be balance in this 3 aspects. Because of the
power God has given to me. I must not be ashamed of the gospel. I want to
preach to the whole world. He has given us a holy calling therefore through
Christ I am able to accomplish the task God has for me.
