Every building is built on a foundation and the sustenance of each is a function of its foundational strength. God needs no grade to admit a man to the place of making, thus no entrance examination is not conducted before admission into this God’s own school. Foundation school is one of the basic places of learning in the fellowship to activate and nourish the life of Christ in a man. With the tag, ‘raising disciples for Christ’ the school is fully committed to training recruits on the basics of the army of the Lord in the house and inculcate the habits expected of Christ followers in her students.
Modus Operandi
A lifelong operation that takes you through the journey of faith from Birth(Salvation) to the place of calling(Ministry) and how to trend the path towards achieving God’s nature(Holiness). The school is open to all members of the fellowship and believers of like-minds from 100L to 500L and spans for six(6) weeks as each week is for a class.
The six(6) classes are:-
Understanding Salvation (Experience 1)
The provision of God for every mankind to deliver, save, and rescue from sin, its consequences and the coming wrath of God. It is a divine provision, not an act.
It is renewing: Rom.5vs8-21, Heb.2vs1-3, ITim.1vs15, and Lk.1vs67-71. There is a great change having repented from your sins and surrendered your life to Christ,
something new has started in your life, you have been ushered into a new life entirely. Since the day you believed in Christ and His death on the cross of Calvary to take away your sins and to save you, having confessed Him as your Lord and Savior, you have been born again. Your first birth into the world gives you the natural human life, this second birth(new birth) gives you the spiritual birth in Christ Jesus. You have become a child of God(Jh.1vs12). You are welcome into the family of God, the Kingdom of God is now yours.
Faith Building (Experience 2)
This describes the immediate event that follows after salvation experience. It is the act of God where they who put their faith in God are declared righteous in His eyes as if such never commit sin before and free from guilt and punishment. Rom.4vs6-8, Acts 13vs39 “old things have passed away”, your sins are forgiven. Prov.28vs13, IJh.1vs9(a).
God is faithful, just and merciful, having confessed your sins to Him, He has forgiven you no matter how terrible your sins have been, He has had mercy on you and forgiven you as He promised. As far as God is concerned, because of what Christ did for us on the cross in taking our punishment upon Himself, you are free. You have been declared “NOT GUILTY” before God. You are now free to walk closely with the Lord God and serve Him with nothing between. IICor.5vs17, Rom.3vs24.
Sanctification and Consecration (Experience 3)
A newly born baby would always desire milk and to grow unto becoming like her parents. Do you know that holiness is the nature of God and you as heir must be holy as your father is. A heavenly life that continues living the purged and purified heart given at salvation. It is in a complete removal of the instinct or character or adaptations of sin in one’s life or heart. It is a divine operation by which the heart is purified and purged of the tendency to sin and saturated with the perfect love of God. God wants you to meet the standard of heaven, the same which was lost in the Garden of Eden.
The Grace of God that brings salvation comes along not only with the ability to say “no” to sin but also the ability to say “yes” to godliness and right living. If you have truly repented, you will not only stop sinning but start living God’s way in obedience to His words. As He appears to you to go and sell your riches and come to carry your cross, hope you will not be grieved.
Baptism (Experience 4)
This is very important and foundational doctrine of Christian Faith. Baptism signifies the death of a believer through repentance and confession and resurrection He experiences on the new life of Holiness in Christ. This form of baptism takes place at new birth when one gives his or life to God.This is not experinced by works but by Grace through FAITH as Ephesians 2vs8-9 concludes.
Discipleship (Experience 5)
Matt.4vs18-22, Lk.6vs40, Eph.4vs13-15, 24.
This is all about call to follow(Matt.4vs19). When a person comes to Christ, he or she becomes born again into the Kingdom. Thus, he has the trait and potentials of the divine nature with him who is immature, unexploited, and undeveloped. For such, God desires growth from being a babe(newly born again) into a child and ultimately into a man.
We discovered from the Scriptures that discipleship is the only means designed by God to bring His children into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, which is eternal purpose of God for saving us. It is the home training method in the household of God. Anyone who runs away from being a disciple is a bastard who would never grow to inherit anything in the Kingdom of God. It is a lifelong process by which God makes His children to become like Jesus. The process is personal and unique for every child of God. It is a definite process through which every believer who desires to fulfill God’s purpose for his life needs to pass.
It is not a classroom course but a relationship.
Call To Service (Experience 6)
ITim.1vs11 – 15.
As redeemed and called out ones, God has saved us and He wants to save others through us and hold unto our salvation and keep on being saved.
He has deposited a measure of Grace in us that would make us efficient in our walk with Him. He did not save us that we could fold our arms, cross our legs and warm the bench. He has called us just as Jesus called the disciples that we may carry out the ministry of Jesus on earth to its fullness. Jh.17vs18-20, Jh.21vs15.
Know your position in the ministry as partaker. Your call(discovering your ministry)
Have a definite encounter with God, Know and recognize your part, Seek God through prayers and counsel, Maintaining the ministry. Rom.12vs4-12. Dwelling everyday with the word of God and waiting upon God in the place of prayer to receive of Him. Also, read Christian books, literatures, and magazines, be hardworking and be disciplined spiritually, physically, and emotionally in all wise.
COME TO THE QUARRY SITE WHERE YOU WILL BE WORKED UPON SO AS TO FIT IN FOR THE WORK OF THE TEMPLE.
IIChr.2vs2, 18.
GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU COME…
