Have received more knowledge
My name kasongo mwepu musonda from Zambia l worship in a ministry called living rock fellowship,lam currently pastoring a branch in Nampundwe which is a rural area in Zambia. I longed to study in pastoring for a long time but financeies were a challenge. But since I started studying with Axx global l have gained More knowledge of God word God’s work, God s plan, God’s call for my life etc l can count one after another and in this lesson God’s call My response have been able to catch up with what ever l felt l was behind with. what can I say AXX global thankful so much I look forward to finish my course and continue serving God more effectively in Jesus mighty name Amen.
May God bless the axx with more wisdom.
First i thank the holy spirit for guidence ,helping me to understand and for opening up my mind for this course (God’s call your response).As for myself I’m very pleased about what i learned from axx presentations from R.Perry,Sanders,B.Roach .K,Dohle .I am really blessed ,empowered and courageous.
A nourishing Course
This particular course has been very impactful to me, and I have all the reasons to thank God for being part of it. Having participated in it has really nourished my spiritual understanding on the calling if God and how we are supposed to respond to it. This is not my first time to learn about God’s Call, but this is more detailed, more concise and more practical. Here are some few among many points I would like to highlight, that drew my attention as I was going through the course:
1. We are called to be, not just to do. Discipleship is not primarily what you do for God, but being confirmed in the image of His Son, our Master. A disciple will be like His Master.
2. The general vs the specific call. All believers have a common call they need to respond to, but also everyone has an area where is uniquely called to function. And none of the two should overshadow the other;they are equally important.
3. Understanding ministry in both the “perfected” and “permitted” life, without engaging in dichotomy. No tension nor separation between the two. This is well understood in embracing the three levels of ministry, according to various callings:
A. Church based ministry
B. Marketplace ministry
C. Community based
ministry.
We just need to understand in which area of ministry we are called.
4. We are called in various ways and various timings. There is a moment of calling, and an ongoing nature if our calling. Our response should be therefore in Action and in Conviction.
5. Your calling can be unique(may appear weird), but still genuine as long as it: glorified God, and points to Jesus.
6. 100 fold fruitfulness in ministry is the result of maximum engagement of: A. The Anointing zone, B. The heart zone, and C. The Ability zone. These should be engaged interdependently and we need to develop, grow, increase in all these.
7. Processing our calling should be understood as a journey, rather than an event. While you hear from God, you need to keep engaging with Him as you process your call. He has a call, but also a plan.
8. Lastly, we should make sure that our calling fits in the bigger picture in order to validate it. This is the Kingdom of God. This is a community which makes us who we are in Him, which we are part of. Our calling should not be in isolation, or a kind of individual spirituality. We must fit into what God is doing on a wider scale. It is all about God, and not us.
I would also like to recommend all the lecturers for their profound presentation, Regan Perry, Key Dohle, Dr Brendan Roach. They know the journey they are taking us to. They also bear a sense of knowledge enriched with practical experience. It has been a great blessing to listen to and be impacted by them.

Spiritual Gifts
It is wonderful to learn that the different gifts we have in our faith is from one source which is the Holy Spirit. We should consider both the spiritual gifts and the fruits of the spirit as being very important.

Course Reviews
Thank you
This course has been a blessing to my life and Ministry
Sermon Delivery
One of the things that will remain with me from this course on Sermon Delivery is that we are not superhumans and the best we can do is PREPARE praying for the Holy Spirit to teach us. We need to keep a prayer centered life and when we preach God’s word, we should turn over that responsibility back to God. He has the ultimate power to bring people to Him. Preachers are only MESSENGERS
Sermon Design & Delivery
First, I thank God who gave me the opportunity to finish this course,
Next, I thank all our devoted teachers who navigated through this course by highlighting the key points we need to take on board as preachers and some mistakes to correct as well.
Thank you again
