MODULE 6: Basic Christian Practices

One Purpose – Three Dimensions – Six Expressions

DIMENSION I — INTERNAL TRANSFORMATION

(What God does in you)

This is always first. God never starts with assignment before alignment.

1. The Kingdom of God to Be Established Within You

“The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed… for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:20–21, KJV)

God’s primary purpose is not first heaven, ministry, or impact—it is government.

• The Kingdom of God is God’s rule, God’s authority, God’s order, and God’s values.
• Salvation is not merely forgiveness; it is a transfer of citizenship.
• God seeks to re-establish His reign in the human heart that was lost in Adam.

This means:

• Your mind comes under Kingdom truth
• Your will submits to Kingdom authority
• Your desires are re-trained by Kingdom priorities

Before God rules through you, He must rule within you.

2. Restoration into Fellowship and Communion with God

“God is faithful… by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9, KJV)

Sin did not just make man guilty—it made man distant.

God’s purpose in Christ is:

• To remove separation
• To restore relationship
• To re-establish daily communion

This fellowship is:

• Relational, not ritual
• Ongoing, not occasional
• Spirit-to-spirit, not merely emotional

Christianity collapses when:

• Ministry replaces intimacy
• Activity replaces communion
• Knowledge replaces knowing Him

God did not redeem you to visit Him, but to walk with Him.

3. Christ to Be Formed Within You

“My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” (Galatians 4:19, KJV)

This goes beyond salvation.

• Salvation puts Christ in you
• Formation shapes Christ through you

This is the process of:

• Character transformation
• Mind renewal
• Nature exchange

God’s goal is not merely that you:

• Believe like Christ
• Speak like Christ

But that you:

• Think, respond, love, and walk like Christ

You were not saved just to go to heaven—you were saved so heaven could be expressed through you.

DIMENSION II — EXTERNAL INFLUENCE

(What God does through you)

Transformation always produces impact.

4. Your New Life in Christ Influencing Your Sphere of Influence

“Ye are the salt of the earth… Ye are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:13–14, KJV)

God never transforms a life in isolation.

Your salvation is personal, but it is never private.

Your sphere of influence includes:

• Family
• Workplace
• Community
• Church
• Culture

This influence is not forced—it is organic:

• Light shines
• Salt seasons
• Life reproduces life

You don’t influence others by trying to be loud, but by being authentic, consistent, and governed by Christ.

DIMENSION III — FUNCTIONAL ASSIGNMENT

(What God does with you)

Once identity is secured and influence is flowing, God reveals assignment.

5. Discovering Your Giftings and Fulfilling Your Assignment in the Body of Christ

“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” (1 Corinthians 12:27, KJV)

No believer is unnecessary.
No gifting is accidental.
No assignment is random.

God places you in the Body:

• With specific graces
• With unique capacities
• With defined responsibilities

Your calling is:

• Not comparison-based
• Not title-driven
• Not self-chosen

It is discovered, not invented.

And it always serves:

• The edification of the Body
• The advancement of the Kingdom
• The glory of Christ—not self

6. God’s Purpose Toward the Unsaved World

“God… will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” (1 Timothy 2:4, KJV)

This completes the cycle.

God’s heart has never changed:

• Lost in Adam → Sought in Christ
• Separated → Reconciled
• Darkness → Light

You are not just saved from something,
you are saved for something.

The redeemed become:

• Witnesses
• Ambassadors
• Living testimonies

Not everyone preaches from a pulpit,
but every believer preaches with their life.

THE COMPLETE FLOW (KINGDOM ORDER)

1. Kingdom established within you
2. Fellowship restored with God
3. Christ formed in you
4. Life released through you
5. Assignment fulfilled in the Body
6. The lost reached through your obedience

This is not six separate purposes.
It is one divine purpose unfolding in stages.
