Informative
I have gained a lot by this teachings, I have put on different lenses and I will be studying my Bible with more clarity now.
Splendid topic
This has been an eye opener and a good choice to be here. God bless!
Biblical exposure
Axx has exposed me to the basics of the scripture by making me know the basic contents of the Bible, its historical background, its prophecy and fulfilment and its instructional/doctrinal background. Moreover the engaging the scripture course has enabled me to have good knowledge of carrying out exegesis and interpretation of the biblical text and not to bring in my pre – understanding into biblical interpretation. Thank you Axx. The learning continues.

Testimony
I would like to testify that before joining and being of Axx I had no in depth knowledge of few things related to the word of God especially when it comes to interpretation .I can go on and on but to me this course adds so much knowledge.
WHAT A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE TO BE INTRODUCED TO THEOLOGY
My journey in this study has been a great one
I have learnt a lot about the bible structure,contexts ,genres and how to search for original intentions.
I am called by God to minister his good news to the nation’s
I am passionate about presenting Jesus and the new creation realities of the kingdom to my generation.
Your ministry has equipped me powerfully at this level.I love God and ministry even the more after these sessions.
God bless you in all ways
What I have learnt
I have learnt quite a lot in this session.
I have learnt how the synoptic gospels approached the gospel of the kingdom of God in their own diverse and unique ways
I have learnt how to apply the gospel to specific contexts
I have learnt what the gospel of the kingdom should be like today, we should present Jesus to a people and not necessarily convincing them to feel guilty

UNITY OF THE TRINITY!
Much insight was garnered from this module. For the first time, I saw the TRINITY in a NEW LIGHT. Yes, I knew that the TRINITY was comprised of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and Holy Spirt the Power of God. But I now see clearly, and can better explain why the Both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are both equal to God and is God at the same time. The COMMUTABLE and NON-COMMUTABLE attributes of God, Jesus and Holy Spirit make the TRUTH of God being 3 in 1, Abundantly clear!
