LECTURE ONE
LESSON ONE
INTRODUCTION
When an individual receives Jesus and is born again of the
Spirit of God he instantaneously becomes a new creation in
Christ. His spirit man is reborn and God comes and dwells in
that person’ spirit in the form of the Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 36:26-
27, 2Cor 6:16). From that moment forth that person becomes a
Christian.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
NEW- this is an adjective used to describe a noun that has
never existed nor been seen nor heard of, but introduced
for the first time.
CREATION- this means bringing into being or existence
something that has never been (Genesis 1:1).
3
FUNDAMENTALS- this is from the word “fundamental”
which refers to foundation; that which is of great
importance; that which serves as a starting point.
NEW CREATION FUNDAMENTALS -therefore is
concerned with those things which form the foundation of
the new creation; which things must be learnt first
because they are of great importance. These consist of the
facts, truths and details of the new birth.
LESSON TWO
2. Man was made triune (spirit, soul and body) as the Godhead
or trinity (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit)
(1 Thess. 5:23)
3. Man was subject only to the law of life and superior to the
law of death.
4
4. Man was in fellowship with God on a daily basis (Genesis
3:8).
5. Man was highly spiritual (Genesis 2:25) and was more
conscious of his spiritual environment than the physical.
6. Man was master of the earth, superior to all of God’s
creation and shared God’ power by privilege of God (Genesis
1:28, Ps 8:3-4). Adam was someone God could delegate His
authority to, “…for the earth has He given to the sons of men”
(Ps 115:16).
7. Man was peaceful, confident and bold (Genesis 3:8-11). He
would boldly welcome God to a time of fellowship between God
and him with no form of fear whatsoever.
8. Man had access to the wisdom of God. Wherefore, the ways
of God were laid bare before him and he was able to walk in
the reality of them.
9. Man was a king and the earth was his domain. He reigned in
it by the wisdom of God deposited in him at creation
That was it! Man had fallen! That was the beginning of man’s
problems, struggles, pains and sweat. God left man and the
devil took him over. Genesis 3:16-19, 23-24
LESSON THREE
THE EMERGENCE OF THE NEW MAN
At the fallen state, man was without Christ, being aliens from
the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the
covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in
the world (Eph 2:12).
At this state, man was held captive in the World where Satan
had the power of death; wherefore man’ position was
certainly desperate. Then, comes the unfolding of the
salvation plan of God.
SALVATION
“He sent his word, and healed them and delivered them
from their destructions” (Ps107:20)
6
“And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us..” (John
1:14)
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name
Jesus: for He shall save His people from their sins” (Matt
1:21)
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him
from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Rom 10:9).
LECTURE TWO
LESSON FOUR
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT NEW BIRTH?
JESUS TOOK YOUR PLACE – He was our Substitute in
Christ
You were the one that sinned. You were the one that was
supposed to die (Rom 6:23). You were the one who was
7
supposed to go to hell. It was your blood that the devil wanted,
because “without shedding of blood, is no remission of sin”
(Heb 9:22).
But Jesus took your place on the cross. He offered himself and
sacrificed his life for you to be free and life as if you never
sinned. How He did it:
1. You are set free from the devil’s slavery. Through the blood
of Jesus Rom 6:16, 1Pet 1:18-19, Eph1:7
2. You are purchased or bought back from the slave market of
sin; you are now God’ property (Acts 20:28, Rev 5:9-10)
3. You are purchased out of the World system (Gal 3:13).
The Legal Aspect of Redemption
The legal aspect of redemption is what God did for us in Christ.
It is in the past. For example,
He was delivered for us (Rom 4:25).
He died for our sins (1Cor15:3-4)
He was made sin for us (2Cor5:21)
He gave himself for us (Titus 2:14).
All the “in Him, with Him and by whom” realities of our new
birth constitute the legal aspects of our redemption. In the way
of justice, those issues are eternally settled.
8
This refers to what we really have now in Christ, that is, what
the Holy Spirit is doing in us today. When the vital aspect of
redemption is understood, we know what belongs to us in
Christ. This opens us up to our Sonship rights, and then we
learn to take our place and enjoy our privileges. These are:
1. You are a new creature (2Cor5:17-18)
2. Because Christ lives, you live too (John14:19)
3. No more condemnation (2 Cor. 3:5-11)
4. You are seated in heavenly places with Christ (Jn 3:31, Eph
1:20-21, Col.3:1)
5. You are free from sin and satan, to serve the living God
(Rom 6:11-13).
6. You have access to the Father (Eph 2:18)
7. You becomes God’ habitation (Eph 2:22)
9
“And by Him all that believe are justified from all things...” Acts
13:39
Water Baptism
10
1. Water baptism is a must for any born again child of God.
Jesus calls it the fulfillment of all righteousness. So, in His
coming to set example of God’ idea of the perfect man, had to
be baptized (Mt 3:13-17). So He commanded in Matt 28:19 “Go
ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit”.
2. Water baptism is complete and total immersion, not by
sprinkling. Jesus set the example for us to follow.
3. Water baptism is not for babies or children. A sense of
accountability and responsibility is required to appreciate and
appropriate the benefits of water baptism.
The Benefits
1. A unique door of revelation opens (Lk 3:21).
2. An expansion of your understanding of God (Acts 8:26-38).
3. Your spiritual ears pop open and you begin to hear from
heaven.
4. You begin to draw profiting from the scriptures.
5. You receive boldness that makes faith produce amazing
results.
As you come out of the water, it is your resurrection unto a
new realm and way of life. Old things are passed away, buried
with the old you that you dropped inside the water, just as
Jesus went into the grave, into hell, to drop your sins.
LESSON FIVE
UNDERSTANDING MAN’S MAKE-UP
11
“And God said let us make man in our own image and
after our own likeness…And God created man in His
own image…” Gen.1:26, 27
1. TRIUNE IN NATURE
“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one” (1Jn 5:7).
God is a triune being. The triune God made man in His own
image. So man must also be a TRIUNE BEING. This is confirmed
in 1Thes. 5:23
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly…spirit, soul
and body…”
2. A SPIRIT BEING
God is SPIRIT (Jn 4:24). Thus, man is essentially a SPIRIT
BEING. And since that which is born of the spirit is spirit (Jn 3:6)
and every one that is born again is born of God, so he is a spirit
in the order of God his Father in heaven who gave birth to him.
(Jn 1:12-13).
12
Without the spirit, neither the soul nor the body can
function.
The spirit expresses itself through the soul and the body.
It is with the spirit that man connects and relates with God
(1Cor 2:14).
THE SOUL
The soul is comprised of the INTELLECT, the EMOTIONS and the
WILL.
The Intellect
This is the standardization tool of the natural man. Man relates
with the world with his intellect.
The Emotions
This is the realm of feelings – anger, fear, bitterness, joy, etc
The Will
13
God has given man a will by which he has the absolute
prerogative to make choices (Deut 30:19).
THE BODY
The body of man is the dwelling place for both his spirit and his
soul. It is also referred to as the temple of the Holy Spirit (1Cor
3:16, 1Cor 6:19).
The body is the material part of man with which he relates with
the physical world around him. This he does via the FIVE
SENSES of;
Sight(eyes)
Smell (nose)
Touch (hands)
Taste (Tongue)
Hearing (ears)
When the body dies, it returns to dust where it was taken from
(Gen 3:19), to be changed to immortality at rapture (1Thess
4:16-17).
LESSON SIX
MAXIMISING THE SPIRIT
You can make the most of God’s deposits in your spirit, soul
and body. As you maximize your spirit, you are able to
exercise more power in the spirit realm, thereby making great
impact on the earth.
Also, as you make more use of your mind, you are able to
produce more and better results.
14
The same goes for the exercise of the five senses.
LECTURE THREE
LESSON SEVEN
LESSON EIGHT
17
The believer’s sonship came with power. In other words, it
takes power to manifest our sonship in Christ. However, the
question is “what purposes is the power meant to serve?”
POWER FOR WHAT?
To liberate the whole creation of God from the bondage
of corruption (Rom 8:19-22).
To heal the sick (Mk 16:17, James 5:13-15, Matt 10:1)
To raise the dead (Lk 7:1-15)
To publish the reality of Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8)
To make impact in the lives of people (A8:5-8, Lk 4:36)
To communicate the mysteries of the kingdom (Acts
2:14-41, Rom 15:17-20, 1Cor 2:12-13, Lk4:22).
To multiply yourself in others (Gen 1:28, Deut 30:16
“that thou mayest live and multiply.
To bring changes to people’ lives (Luke 2:340.
Remember, as a believer, you are for the rising of
many(Isaiah 9:2, Luke 2:34)
To attain your destiny in God (Jer 1:5, Jer 29:11, Col
4:17).
MAXIMIZING YOUR SONSHIP THROUGH KINGDOM
STEWARDSHIP
We are redeemed not to be served but to serve God and
the interest of His kingdom (Luke 22:27)
We are called as believers to promote and advance God’s
kingdom first as our lifestyle (Matt.6:33)
Kingdom stewardship is on the platform of soul winning
and kingdom advancement prayers.
Every believer has the ministry of reconciliation in
reaching the lost to see them saved and established in
Christ and in His Church (2 Cor.5:17-20)
Maximizing your sonship with proofs is when you are on
the go for Jesus (Mk.16:20)
