QUARTER REVIEW
 

LEARNING NOT TO FORGET:

In this age of unlimited access to information, getting information is never the problem but what to do with the numerous information that we have access to. Mastery is not in knowledge but in wisdom - applications of knowledge.

 

Learning is not complete until what has been acquired is retained and applied. Knowledge easily forgotten loses its value, while lessons remembered shape character, decisions, and growth. “Learning not to forget” is therefore a discipline of the mind and heart—anchoring truths, experiences, and insights so they can guide us in the future. It calls for attentiveness, reflection, and consistent practice, ensuring that wisdom is not only gained but preserved, and that important lessons are not lost in the busyness of life. Let us have a quick recap.

 

 

1. To the Christian, prayer is a required form of communication with God the Father through Jesus Christ His Son, with the aid of the Holy Spirit. Having this knowledge, how should we approach God, and what can we expect to happen as we make our requests known?

 

INSPIRATIONS:

 Approach prayer with reverence and with expectation or faith (Hebrews 11:6).

 Prayers should be submissive to the will of God.

 Prayer is not only presenting petitions or asking for favors.

 Prayer is also a time to thank God with honor and praise.

 

REVIEW QUESTIONS:

Am I a Christian? – Christ-like

Is prayer a spontaneous spiritual communication to me or a dreaded duty?

How has my prayer life been affected since learning about prayer?

What are the better approaches that I have embraced?

What are the experienced results?

 

KEY POINTS:

Relationship - Christian (Prayer is a spiritual relationship)

Spiritual discipline and exercise

Spiritual communication

Spiritual requirement and necessity - It is a command

Communication channel - through Jesus Christ

Spiritual Language is needed -

Curriculum - content

Covenant provision - what God has provided according to His will

Purpose - for God's glory and our blessings

Answer - yes, wait, no

SEARCH:

Reverence and Faith: When we approach God in prayer, we should do so with a heart full of faith and reverence. Acknowledge His sovereignty and holiness. 

   "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16)

Humble Heart: It is essential to approach God with humility, recognizing our dependence on Him for guidance and strength. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. 

   "Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." (James 4:10)

Be Persistent in Prayer: We should remain persistent in our prayers, trusting that God hears us and will respond in His timing. This perseverance reflects our faith and commitment. 

   "And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;" (Luke 18:1)

Expect God to Respond According to His Will: As we make our requests known, we should understand that God’s responses may not always align with our desires. We can trust that He will answer in accordance to His great wisdom and purpose. 

   "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:" (1 John 5:14)

 

2. God’s call to us regarding some specific service we are to do for Him may not come by dramatic revelation. We may even question whether it is really God calling us, or just our own ideas and inclinations pointing us in a certain direction. How can we be sure that what we perceive to be God’s call is really from Him? See John 7:17 and 1 Corinthians 14:32.

 

INSPIRATIONS:

 Any directive believed to be from the Lord must align with Scripture.

 God often confirms His call through others.

 If a leading matches Scripture and the guidance of spiritual authorities, one can be assured God is directing.

 

REVIEW QUESTIONS:

Do I have a call? (A vision and a mission for God)

Have I been able to establish God’s call on my life?

If yes, what Am I doing to make my calling and election sure?

SEARCH:

Seek God's Will: Cultivating a genuine relationship with God through prayer and Scripture can help us discern His voice. The willingness to do His will can clarify His calling in our lives. 

   "If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself." (John 7:17)

Align Your Desires: God's call will never contradict His Word. Regular study and meditation on Scripture is vital for guidance. 

   "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." (Psalm 119:105)

Peace: When God calls us to a task, He often instills a sense of peace and clarity in our heart. Pay attention to the peace that surpasses understanding, which serves as confirmation of His calling. 

   "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7)

Seek Counsel from Spiritual Leaders: God often confirms His calling through community. Consulting with wise and spiritually mature individuals can provide clarity and affirmation regarding your perceived calling. 

   "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." (1 Corinthians 14:33)

 

3. In the Word of God we find that God has three initial experiences for the Christian. They are a foundation to prepare him for his walk of faith here on earth. Briefly explain each of these experiences and describe what they do in the life.

 

INSPIRATIONS:

 Salvation:

   Brings forgiveness of sins.

   Removes guilt.

   Makes a person a new creature in Christ (1 John 1:9; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

 

 Sanctification / Heart purity:

   Results from a fully consecrated life.

   Removes the root of sin from one’s nature.

   Jesus prayed His followers would receive this (John 17:17).

 

 Baptism of the Holy Ghost:

   Gift of power.

   Enables one to be a successful witness for the Gospel (Acts 1:8).

 

REVIEW QUESTIONS:

Have I received the Christian experiences?

(Salvation, Sanctification, Baptism of the Holy Spirit)

Do I have the witness within?

Do I have the evidence/fruit of each of these experiences in my life?

KEY POINTS:

Basic starter package - Spiritual engagement

Three basic experiences:

-Salvation: Identity and old life transformation - forgiveness of sins

-Sanctification: Nature's Antidote and entire holiness

-Baptism of Holy Spirit: Empowerment (Power for service)

A lack of any of the three leaves a capacity and virtues vacuum

"Take up the whole armour" - Instruction, strategic and capacity building

 

SEARCH:

1. The Experience of Salvation (Justification)

    Salvation takes care of our sinful past. The Spirit bears witness with our spirit – witness from above and witness within. The greatest evidence is sinless life and absence of condemnation.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

 2. The Experience of Sanctification:

 Sanctification uproots the natural sin and human nature. Jesus prayed for his disciples to receive it and it is available for us today. It ensures entire sanctification and oneness with God and His children.

John 17:19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

John 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

 3. Baptism of the Holy Spirit

Indwelling of the Holy Spirit – performing the work of a Comforter, Teacher and Spiritual Capacity.

Evidence is a life controlled and maintained by the Holy Spirit and a strong desire to work for God and His Kingdom.

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

6. Once we have committed our lives to the Lord, we can be sure the enemy of our souls will redouble his efforts to discourage, divert, or dissuade us. Our responsibility, as stewards of our souls, is to take advantage of the spiritual armor and weapons God has provided for us to defeat Satan.

SEARCH:

 1. Daily Prayer and Communion with God

Regular prayer strengthens our relationship with God and helps us seek His guidance, protection, and strength in the face of spiritual battles.

    Make prayer a daily priority, asking God for strength, wisdom, and the ability to discern the enemy's tactics. This sustains your spirit and keeps you connected to His power.

"Pray without ceasing." (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

 2. Consistent Study and Meditation on Scripture

    The Word of God is a powerful weapon against the lies and deceptions of the enemy. It equips us with truth and wisdom to counteract spiritual attacks.

    Set aside time daily to read, meditate on, and memorize Scripture. This builds your foundation in truth and arms you to confront doubts or temptations.

 "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." (Psalm 119:11)

 3. Wearing the Full Armor of God

    Ephesians 6 outlines the spiritual armor that believers should do to protect themselves from the enemy's schemes. Each piece is vital for different aspects of spiritual warfare.

 Familiarize yourself with each element of the armor—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—and consciously put them on each day to prepare for spiritual battle.

"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." (Ephesians 6:11)

 4. Engaging in Fellowship with Other Believers

Accountability within the Body of Christ provide encouragement, strength, and support. Isolation can make you more vulnerable to discouragement and attacks.

Regularly attend church services, participate in small groups, and maintain friendships with fellow believers who can pray with you and support your spiritual growth.

 "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)

 

7. Many instances of true friendship are given to us in the Bible, but the greatest friendship that ever could be experienced is that of friendship with our Lord Jesus Christ. He is a Friend to all, but what actions must we take to ensure an intimate friendship with Him? See John 15:14.

 

INSPIRATIONS:

 To have Jesus as our Friend, we must obey His commandments.

 His commandments are not burdensome (1 John 5:3).

 Working in harmony with someone we care for is natural and agreeable.

 Daily practices for friendship with Jesus include:

 

   Daily communication with Him.

"Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you." (John 15:14)

 2. Prayer and Communication

    Just like any relationship, communication is vital to friendship. Regular prayer allows us to share our hearts with Jesus and listen for His guidance.

    Set aside specific times for prayer each day, not just for requests but also to express gratitude, seek wisdom, and enjoy fellowship with Him.

  "And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart."

(Jeremiah 29:13)

"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (1 Peter 5:7)

 5. Serve Others in His Name

    "For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." (Mark 10:45)

 

8. God’s plan for us may, and often does, call on us to take a stand in a conspicuous way on some issue. At such times, the enemy is always there to give us a reason or reasons why going against the flow of peer pressure is perhaps not the wisest course of action. What is the responsibility of a Christian when it comes to being “different” in order to make a difference, and why?

 

INSPIRATIONS:

 In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught that His followers are the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world” (Matthew 5:13-14).

 We must let His love, integrity, and promise of deliverance shine through our lives.

 Failing to do so makes us like salt that has lost its savor or lights hidden under a bushel.

CONCLUSION:
 
BE YE DOERS OF THE WORD
 
Out of James one twenty two,
Comes a call for Juniors true,
Who will for Christ the risen Lord:
Listen to this trump-et call,
Ring-ing out to one and all,
"Be ye do-ers of the Word".
 
Be ye do-ers of the Word,
Be ye do-ers of the Word,
Be ye do-ers of the Word,
And not hearers, not hearers on-ly,
Be ye do-ers of the Word.
 
We would strive for Christ to live;
Time and Ta-lent we will give;
We would follow Je-sus all the way:
Tithes and offerings we will bring;
We would work and pray and sing
For the master ev-ery day.
