Thank you for the amazing teaching
Stability and Confidence in knowledge
This course has been really enlightening especially in the area of Trinity. Trinity has often been one of those areas in which I conflict with friends and others who wish to know more on this area. During this course, i have gotten a clear cut of what Trinity is all about, its origin, its proofs in the bible not as the term Trinity but especially as three in one God. Equally, i have a better understanding of their roles and their unity in their functioning as deities of the same rank.
Not only are mine now stable in my view of what Trinity is all about, I am now confident that in the way i can teach and bring others to the understanding of this topic.
I am so grateful to be part of this program because as I go through each course, my understand and knowledge keeps improving by the day.

God and Humanity
The subject of humanity in relation to God has been really been insightful and at the same time challenging at a personal level. In the last session, we looked at the issue of the poor and how we as Christians should respond. I believe we cannot as Christians ignore this issue but in one way another take action because this is the heart of God.
Our Glorious end.
I’ve enjoyed Theology of Humanity how our Triune God wanted to have fellowship with His created beings.
Despite fallen humanity and the broken world we live in, I’m amased and thankful for the Love and Grace of God who was willing to take on humanity in order to redeem the human race. He still wants to have fellowship and a relationship with His created beings.
Our wonderful and Glorious end is the day is coming when we (in our Glorified Bodies) will stand with Christ (Bridegroom) who is still in His Glorified Body as His Bride.
Wow, Just think of it. From our fallen and broken estate, we are redeemed, healed and made whole, made Clean, Sanctified and Justified. Elevated to that place in Christ. Being made one with Him for all eternity.
What a wonderful work of Grace.
What a Gloriou end we have.
GOD loves me in all circumstances , he wants a pure ,honest heart which looks up to the LORD alone.
GOD reveals himself in his scripture , and he created me in his liking so that I worship him with all my heart ,in truth and in spirit . He looks at the inner person , he wants all of us to be in relation with his creation and love one another all days of our life.
I have learnt in my heart to be honest steward of his creation and i now live ethically , giving to GOD for the poor needy servants of GOD in society so help me GOD .
We are equal before GOD in JESUS CHRIST men ,women ,children ,and all ethnicity even the HOLY SPIRIT was poured for all in ACTS 2 so there is no one above the other in the Christian Church.

Course reviews
An eye-opener into a subject I thought I knew all about!
A fascinating insight into the Holy Spirit. I had no idea there was so much to learn! This course has really helped me to know who the Holy Spirit is and what he has done/continues to do and how he does it.
So good to hear from many lecturers which brings different perspectives to the teaching.
The Perfect Helper
I’m thankfull that through this course “Ministry of the Spirit” was presented in a balanced way between the Fruit of the Holy Spirit and Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Over the years I’ve backed away from the Gifts and Churches that pushed it because of the excesses and the abuse and have seen people damaged by it.
But having said that there has been a growing desire to allow and wanting the the Holy Spirit to manifest the Gifts.
As I was doing this course it has increased that desrie and stiring my heart.
Thank tou.

John 17
My journey through the Theology of God, of Humanity and of the Holy Sprit has been wonderful and amazing. It’s been refreshiing, strenghtening the foundations that were already there, stiring me on particularly in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. (See my Review on the Ministry of the Spirit.)
The passage in John 17 clearly shows the God Head at work. Even though Christ was here on earth and the Holy Spirit was in Christ empowering Christ through out His earthly Ministry. We see here in this passage, the Intercessoty Prayer of Christ, how close the relationship between the Father and the Son is. Jesus knew that His time here on earth was coming to an end. (V21-23) So he was praying for those that were given to Hin by the Father and for all those who would hear and and believe their message, that they be one (Church-Bride) just as we are one (God the Father and God the Son). I in Thee and Thou in Me and they in us.
I find this amazing that God, who is 3 in 1. Perfect in Unity, Perfect in Love, Perfect in Relationship wanted to share that with Humanity created in there image. Despite the fall of humanity, God’s Love, Grace and Mercy is so strong that God the Son was willing to take on human form to pay the penalty for our sins, Redeeming humanity. God Still wanted have a relationship with the created. I find this a beautiful thing where Christ has gone back to Glory with a Glorified Body. He is now waiting for the day when the Church (Bride) will be presented to Christ (The Bridegroom) and the relationship will be consumated at the greatest Wedding to take place in Glory. Forever she will be the Lord.
THE ULTIMATE LOVE STORY.
THEOLOGY: the Study of God, Humanity, & Ministry in the Spirit
Completed! So thankful for the thorough look at Christian Theology in such a manageable way. I’ve learned about God’s ID, & how this affects spirituality & behaviour, about the Trinity & how to present the ‘one God, 3 persons’ concept well. I’ve expanded my insights on the foundational concepts of relationship with God, image of God, sin, salvation, forgiveness & human relationships, yes, both within & beyond the church… plus I’ve gained wisdom about the practical outworking of ministering to people in the power of the Holy Spirit. For this, I am sincerely thankful.
A Must Do Course!
I have to admit, I was a bit reserved to do a Certificate in Theology, yet I felt it was necessary. The AXX structure and variety of teachers, rounded off, with the personable style of presentation made this topic very digestable. 🙂
