Stay Teachable Remedial Courses! Francis E. MADOJEMU
Perfect Lacking Nothing!
James 1:2-4
2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the
testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking
nothing.
Perfect Lacking Nothing!
Don’t let the word perfect throw you: It can be
translated mature, and we also need to remember we mature in aspects.
[ Galatians declares the fruit of the spirit is love but shows
different as aspects]
Note the play of words, perfect and complete.
Perfect Lacking Nothing!
This means you can be perfect or matured and
incomplete, meaning you may have grown up and be developed but can have parts missing or
immature and complete, which is being fully developed and yet
undeveloped mentally. God wants both.
Perfect Lacking Nothing!
1:4 Perfect does not denote absolute
sinlessness, but carries the idea of being fully developed or mature.
Complete underscores the thought of fullness
and wholeness.
Perfect As God Is!
Matthew 5:48
48 “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father
in heaven is perfect.
Perfect As God Is!
The emphasis in the command to be perfect is not
on a flawless moral nature, but on an all-inclusive
love that seeks the good of all.
Perfect As God Is!
Instead of following the example of
sinners who love only those who love them, we are to be like the Father in also loving those
who do not love us.
Fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
Note it is singular fruit of not fruits of, but it as aspects.
Fruit of the Flesh
Galatians 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication,
uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies,
outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
Both Are Practices
Galatians 5:19-21
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you
beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things
will not inherit the kingdom of God.
To Practice or Not To Practice
Notice the word “practice” which
means we do not have to do them, we have a
choice to practice basketball or football in the same way we can choose not to
practice these things.
We Even Have Small SinsWe also must notice the list of these works of the flesh which we in the church
have narrowed to adultery and
fornication as being the most important but God wants us to deal with even the so called “little
ones.”
Why?
Song of Solomon 2:15
15 Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.
THE SHULAMITE
Main Courses and Remedial Courses
Almost all American community colleges offer remedial reading, writing,
and mathematics courses.
Remedial programs are designed to help students catch up academically by teaching basic
academic skills.
Main Courses and Remedial Courses
In a given year, remedial courses serve about
two-fifths of students at public community colleges and about one-fourth of
students at private two-year colleges in the United States.
Remedial courses are less common at four-year
colleges.
Main Courses and Remedial Courses
These courses are not the main
courses they were admitted to
learn but are necessary to help
them succeed.
Main Courses and Remedial Courses
For any student to concentrate on
these courses and not do what they were admitted to
do would ultimately lead to
failure!
Main Courses and Remedial Courses in Church!
In the same way in the church it seems as though we still major on the minors and
minor on the majors.
Main Courses and Remedial Courses in Church!
There are courses in our Christian walk that are
remedial and not our main course
structure for example:
Remedial Courses
Healing
Deliverance
Prosperity
Breakthrough
Good but not Best!
While these are good in themselves and
provide us with relief it can many times obscure us from seeing and doing
Gods ultimate courses some of
which are:
Main Courses
Salvation. Health
Equipping for Service
Wealth
Main Courses
These main courses swallow up the needs in the remedial ones
and we are then expected graduate to
fulfill purpose by developing Character
necessary to fulfill destiny.
Why is this important?
God is in the restoration business!
Notice the terms used in
the bible,
Why is this important?
Genesis 1:27-28
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over
the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Why is this important?
Did Adam need Healing,
Deliverance Prosperity or
breakthrough in the Garden of
Eden?
The Same is Happening in
Society & Education
DESCHOOLING SOCIETY By IVAN ILLICH
"Many students, especially those who are poor, intuitively know what the schools do
for them. They school them to confuse process and substance. Once these
become blurred, a new logic is assumed: the more treatment there is, the better are the results; or, escalation leads to success."
DESCHOOLING SOCIETY By IVAN ILLICH
"The pupil is thereby "schooled" to confuse teaching with learning, grade
advancement with education, a diploma with competence, and fluency with the ability to say something new.
His imagination is "schooled" to accept service in place of value."
DESCHOOLING SOCIETY By IVAN ILLICH
"Medical treatment is mistaken for health care, social work for the
improvement of community life, police protection for safety,
military poise for national security, the rat race for productive work."
DESCHOOLING SOCIETY By IVAN ILLICH
"Health, learning, dignity, independence, and creative endeavor are defined as little
more than the performance of the institutions which claim to serve these
ends, and their improvement is made to depend on allocating more resources to the
management of hospitals, schools, and other agencies in question."
Slavery, Deliverance & Freedom
Dr Myles teaches that there is a big difference between
slavery, deliverance &
freedom and I think the
church stopped at deliverance not
freedom
^iBridge_Hub
This why I am so excited abut the ^iBridge_Hub we are formally opening
for our anniversary I would get to work
everyday with believers and unbelievers in
tapping creativity and shaping minds to
freedom
Born Again Once!
How do I enter the kingdom, Jesus was teaching Nicodemus!
That's our destination not just being born again
Seek ye first the kingdom Salvation has a purpose to know the king & come
into his kingdom
The New Birth
John 3:1-6
1 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless
God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and said to him, “ Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born
again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
The New Birth
John 3:1-6
4 Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born?” 5 Jesus answered, “ Most assuredly, I
say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Born Again Once!
Its like getting an american visa & a ticket to enter the
kingdom of the US & then an oath to
become a citizen & come under the laws &
protection of the American Government!
The Biblical definition of Restoration
Job 42:10-12
10 And the LORD restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. 11 Then all his brothers, all
his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with
him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the LORD had
brought upon him.
The Biblical definition of Restoration
Job 42:10-12
Each one gave him a piece of silver and each a ring of gold.12 Now the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning;
for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.
The Biblical definition of Restoration
According to the dictionary, “to
restore” means to “bring back to
the former or original
condition.”
The Biblical definition of Restoration
When something is restored in the
scriptures, however, its always increased,
multiplied or improved so that its latter state is significantly better than is original state.
God is in the Re-Business:
Redeemed, Restore,
Recovered, Revelation
etc
God is in the Re-Business:
Joel 2:21-26
25 “So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, The crawling locust,
The consuming locust, And the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you. 26 You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, And praise the name of
the Lord your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you; And My people shall never be put to shame.
The Ultimate Restoration!
The ultimate restoration is the
return of the church, the bride of Christ, to the
majesty and glory God intended for
her.
Restoration of All Things
Acts 3:21
21 “whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all
things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the
world began.
What is Restoration
Restoration means
becoming all that God originally
intended the church be.
What is Restoration
Remember restoration means the
establishment of something more and better than
the original.
What is Restoration
Restoration also means the
release of Gods Power without
measure through the church.
These Remedial Courses are Vital
They demonstrate
that the kingdom of God is here
The Kingdom of God is Here
Matthew 9:35-38
35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their
synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every
sickness and every disease among the people.36 But when He saw the
multitudes,
The Kingdom of God is Here
Matthew 9:35-38
He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.37 Then
He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. 38
“Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
The Kingdom of God is Here
Matthew 10:1, 5-10
1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to
cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. 5 These twelve Jesus sent out and
commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the
Samaritans. 6 “But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
The Kingdom of God is Here
Matthew 10:1, 5-10
7 “And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 “Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.9 “Provide neither gold nor
silver nor copper in your money belts,10 “nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor
staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.
Kingdom vs. Kingdom
It’s Kingdom vs. Kingdom and the
healings and deliverances are the
bonuses in the Kingdom of God
He reinforces this concept when john asks
if He is the one!
Matthew 11:1-5
1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities. 2 And when John
had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
Kingdom vs. Kingdom
Matthew 11:1-5
3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” 4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: 5 “The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear;
the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Kingdom vs. Kingdom
Luke 4:16-21
16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it
was written:
Kingdom vs. Kingdom
Luke 4:16-21
18 “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has
sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at
liberty those who are oppressed; 19 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.” 20 Then He closed the book,
and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him.
Bottom line:
There is the good news of the coming of
Kingdom of God and its benefits the
restoration and remedy of mans challenges and bring the world back to
what God originally intended it to be.
