Systematic theology is a discipline of Christian theology that formulates an orderly, rational, and coherent account of the doctrines of the Christian faith. It addresses issues such as what the Bible teaches about certain topics or what is true about God and his universe.

Our intention is to bring ministries into a global virtual reality hybrid school/university system where there is homeschooling, teaching in the assembly, and combining it in the classrooms with on-the-job training. Walking Your Vision University teaching is systematic theology.

There are 195 countries in which we will expand this training over the period of five to ten years. The above paragraph is the summation of our mission statement.

Lesson 1

But all these things that I once thought very worthwhile—now I have thrown them all away so that I can put my trust and hope in Christ alone. Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have put aside all else, counting it worth less than nothing, in order that I can have Christ, and become one with him, no longer on being saved by being good enough or by obeying God’s law, but by trusting Christ to save me: on faith—counting on Christ alone.

Now I have given up everything else—I have found it to be the only way to really know Christ and to experience the mighty power that brought him back to life again, and to find out what it means to suffer and to die with him. So, whatever it takes, I will be one who lives in the flesh newness of life of those who are alive from the dead. Philippians 3:7–11

Whatever It Takes

I will not compromise teaching because it cannot be brought.

I will always remember that my word is my bond.

I will put character above wealth.

I will possess a will that is willing to change an opinion while seeking the truth.

I will walk by faith, not by sight, thus willing to take a chance in accordance to my assignment.

I will not just go with the flow to be accepted, but I will stand for what is biblically right.

I will not see my vision as what is in the best interest of me but what is in the best interest of my assignment.

I will not justify my shortcomings by saying I am human, thus everybody else does it, however.

I will not let my shortcomings cause me to walk or forsake my calling.

I will be true to in my house while being submissive to those who have authority over me.

I will promote prosperity, not adversity, in times of question.

I will not be ashamed or afraid to stand for truth when it is unpopular.

I will not put my hand to the plow today and quit tomorrow.

I will be a servant.

Here is my servant whom I have chosen.

—Matthew 12:18 (KJV)

A Lifetime Investment

Read Mark 10: 37–45 (KJV). Believe you are called! Feel led to answer the call. Before you say, “Yes, Lord, use me,” you should know the following.

• Ministries don’t just happen.
• You must work!
• Work to develop, mature, and grow.
• It is a lifetime investment.

There is a purpose for your mission.

Before You Say Yes

Before you say yes to the ministry, there must be a clear understanding in your spirit to do whatever it takes to fulfill your calling, which God has entrusted you with. It is easy to commit oneself to the ministry; however, it is another level to dedicate oneself. It goes without saying that the ministry is rewarding. Who does not like to see who is bound to be set free regardless if it is spiritual, physical, emotional, or financial? What joy it is to witness with the natural eye the power of our knowledge.

If I can be careful in saying this, you must consider the reality of the ministry. Often, it puts you in a position that causes you to be alone and in a constant resource of giving. What I pray for is that you gain from this very first lesson is the seriousness to your acceptance of becoming a faithful servant.

It came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto Him. Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head” and “Jesus said unto him”, let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And another also said, “but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.” And Jesus said unto him. No Man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. (Luke 9:57–62 KJV)

There is a cost to discipleship. If you desire to be candidate for discipleship, you must have a true understanding of the cost of discipleship. Discipleship soon wears thin on the emotional enthusiasm, which may cause you to answer yes to the commitment but fall short on dedication. Discipleship is not just a privilege. It is a responsibility that makes you accountable. Your teaching will be tested within every part of you to prove if you have truly learned your assignment as your highest priority.

We will look closer at the difference between commitment and dedication. This is for certain. Loyalty to your calling will always take precedence over all other loyalties. The ministry must truly come first. In the above passage, the man was offering Christ an excuse.

Death, not just death but the death of a beloved family member—certainly, in modern day, how we respond would be viewed as callous, not compassionate, let alone our belief. Surely we are responsible for burying those who have physically died. The point that is emphasized here is that those who are spiritually dead are more in urgent need than those who are physically dead. Our assignment is not promoting you to be insensitive or disrespectful to the natural environment or elements that surround us on a day-to-day basis but to spiritually alert that half-hearted discipleship eliminates one from maximum use. A half-hearted disciple is committed but not dedicated.

A True Disciple

When entering into the ministry, you will have the thought that you gave your life on the day you were born again. Being active in the ministry will awaken you to the realization that the word gave has not been defined. I have always taught that a true disciple of a believer must be informed, committed, and dedicated. To be informed mean...
