Four Àwọn Sẹ́mínà

NCMN's core ìkẹ́kọ̀ọ́ system includes four sẹ́mínàs in addition to the three àwọn ilé-ẹ̀kọ́, helping Christians possess both spiritual sensitivity ati practical agbára. These four sẹ́mínàs provide a spiritual ìpìlẹ̀ fún NCMN ìkẹ́kọ̀ọ́ as a whole ati function as essential tools of spiritual formation fún Christians to grow as Àwọn Nations-Changer.

In the Ìgbé ayé of Hearing Ọlọrun's Voice sẹ́mínà, the Olúwa wants gbogbo of us to live hearing His voice in the same way. In Isaiah 55, He said pé nígbà tí we hear the Olúwa's voice, our souls live, we gain strength, we jẹ́ healed, we jẹ́ able to lóye the Olúwa's will, ati we can live a ìgbé ayé according to the Olúwa's will.

When we hear Ọlọrun's voice ati live according to His will, we can please Ọlọrun ati joyfully fulfill the Olúwa's will. A ìgbé ayé of hearing Ọlọrun's voice ni possible fún anyone tí believes in Jesu.

Through this Ọlọrun's Voice sẹ́mínà, we want to lóye what a ìgbé ayé of hearing Ọlọrun's voice ni. In particular, we want to kọ́ more about hearing His voice speaking to us nípasẹ̀ the written Ọ̀rọ̀ of Ìwé Mímọ́, ati nípasẹ̀ a ìgbé ayé of personal intimacy pẹ̀lú the Olúwa, to hear the Olúwa's voice speaking to me, know His will, ati live accordingly.

The whole ìwé of Leviticus speaks about how we can come ṣáájú the holy Ọlọrun, have fellowship ṣáájú Him, ati live on this earth as Ọlọrun's eniyan. All this content jẹ́ written because Ọlọrun spoke to Moses ati Moses heard His voice. Moses did not write Ọlọrun's Ìwé Mímọ́ according to his own thoughts, his own methods, tàbí his own ideas. He heard the voice Ọlọrun spoke to him ati lived according to the Olúwa's Ọ̀rọ̀.

The Ẹmí Mimọ Ọlọrun sẹ́mínà bẹ̀rẹ̀ ṣáájú Acts 1:8: nígbà tí the Ẹmí Mimọ comes upon you, you will receive agbára ati jẹ́ My witnesses in Jerusalem, gbogbo Judea ati Samaria, ati to the ends of the earth. This Ọ̀rọ̀ jẹ́ not given simply to command eniyan to jẹ́ witnesses, but because nígbà tí those tí have decided to jẹ́ witnesses determine how they will live as witnesses, it ni possible only nígbà tí the Ẹmí Mimọ comes upon them ati they receive the agbára of the Ẹmí Mimọ.

Anyone tí desires to live according to the Olúwa's will needs the agbára of the Ẹmí Mimọ. This Ẹmí Mimọ sẹ́mínà ni the Maginot line fún gbogbo such eniyan, so pé they jẹ́ bound pọ̀ ati armed pẹ̀lú the agbára of the Ẹmí Mimọ ati dá sílẹ̀ to fulfill the Olúwa's will.

For the eniyan of Israel tí returned láti Babylonian captivity, Ọlọrun said pé in rebuilding the temple ati being dá sílẹ̀ again to live as Ọlọrun's eniyan, the most pàtàkì thing jẹ́ pé it would jẹ́ done only by the Spirit. Likewise, in this àkókò, the ìjọ of this orílẹ̀-èdè must stand strongly again ati fulfill the Olúwa's will; what ni truly more pàtàkì than any knowledge tàbí ilana ni cultivating the agbára of the Ẹmí Mimọ.

Through this Ẹmí Mimọ sẹ́mínà, we desire pé Ọlọrun's will truly jẹ́ fulfilled on this earth, ati pé gbogbo ènìyàn jẹ́ armed pẹ̀lú the agbára of the Ẹmí Mimọ ati live the ìgbé ayé the Olúwa desires. Especially in NCMN iṣẹ́-ìránṣẹ́, if ìṣúná, the Bibeli, ati aṣáájú jẹ́ the three àwọn iṣẹ́-ìránṣẹ́ pé lay the ìpìlẹ̀ fún us to di NCers used by the Olúwa, then the agbára of the Ẹmí Mimọ ni absolutely necessary fún living such a ìgbé ayé.

In the Spiritual Warfare ati Àdúrà Àbẹ̀bẹ̀ sẹ́mínà, nígbà tí we speak of spiritual warfare, it ni often easy to think only of driving out tàbí resisting demons pé trouble our lives, tàbí of the realm of evil spirits pé simply bring disease ati personal difficulties to us. Of course pé ni included, but the greater meaning of spiritual warfare ni the battle against agbáras of darkness pé seek to ipa the orílẹ̀-èdè, awujọ, ati gbogbo aaye.

Ephesians 6:12 says pé the targets of our spiritual warfare jẹ́ rulers, authorities, the agbáras of this dark world, ati spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Rulers refers to agbáras pé try to seize control in each orílẹ̀-èdè ati state, ati pé intensively attack aṣáájús tí guide the direction of orílẹ̀-èdès ati cities.

Authorities refers to àwọn ẹgbẹ́ pé work continually so pé gbogbo classified aaye of awujọ, such as the economic aaye, ẹ̀kọ́ aaye, mass media, ati arts aaye, ni built on an unrighteous ìpìlẹ̀. The agbáras of this dark world refer especially to forces pé place falsehood rather than Ọlọrun's òtítọ́ in the realms of religion, philosophy, ati ideology, preventing eniyan láti going sí inú òtítọ́.

The Olúwa has pè ní us as warriors of spiritual warfare. The target we must fight ni rulers. It ni a battle against agbáras of darkness trying to pull the direction of this orílẹ̀-èdè in the wrong direction, ati at the same àkókò the process of dídá sílẹ̀ the ìjọba of Ọlọrun on a tó tọ́ ìpìlẹ̀ in this land ni spiritual warfare.

We have been pè ní to clearly lóye this spiritual warfare, lóye the targets, lóye the àṣẹ given to us, resist the spirits of darkness by the agbára of the Ẹmí Mimọ given to us, the agbára of the blood of Jesu Kristi, ati the agbára of the cross, ati dá sílẹ̀ Ọlọrun's ìjọba. Resisting them, binding gbogbo aaye of their activity, ati conversely releasing this land in the name of our Olúwa Jesu Kristi so pé Ọlọrun's ìjọba founded on òtítọ́ ni dá sílẹ̀ in gbogbo aaye of awujọ: this itself ni spiritual warfare.

The Spiritual Authority sẹ́mínà holds to 2 Corinthians 10:8: "For even if I boast a little too much of our àṣẹ, tí the Olúwa gave fún building you up ati not fún destroying you, I will not jẹ́ ashamed."

The source of gbogbo àṣẹ ni in Ọlọrun alone. Ọlọrun ni the beginning of àṣẹ. Because Ọlọrun ìfẹ́s the world, He desires to give ìbùkún ati abundant ìgbé ayé in the world. To accomplish this will, Ọlọrun delegated àṣẹ to His workers. A ènìyàn entrusted pẹ̀lú Ọlọrun's àṣẹ di a good channel nípasẹ̀ tí His ìbùkún flows.

If àṣẹ ni understood rightly, almost everything will go well. But if àṣẹ ni misunderstood, everything will di a problem. The greatest tragedy of the present age ni pé àṣẹ ati eniyan in àṣẹ jẹ́ remembered as uncomfortable ati awkward, even as objects of resentment ati hatred. This proves how many experiences of disappointment ati wounds láti eniyan in àṣẹ there have been.

But there ni hope. Authority ati eniyan in àṣẹ jẹ́ channels of ìbùkún dá sílẹ̀ by Ọlọrun to pín ìgbé ayé ati grace. When true àṣẹ ni restored, the grace ati ìfẹ́ of Ọlọrun the Father will overflow like floodgates opening.
