SEMINARY
(1h:15min)
(Prov 22:29) Do you see a
man skillful in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before
obscure men.
"A piece of ground
where seed is sown for producing plants for transplantation; a nursery; a seed
plat" ( seedbed, nursery, from Latin seminarium)
Remember you are in a nursery, you are watered for you to grow make sure you grow unless otherwise you are
uprooted
WHAT
THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT EDUCATION
The
first step of education is to have one's eyes opened and be turned from
darkness to light. (Acts 26:18 uwafumbue macho yao, na kuwageuza waiache giza na
kuielekea nuru, waziache na nguvu za Shetani na kumwelekea Mungu; kisha wapate
msamaha wa dhambi zao, na urithi miongoni mwao waliotakaswa kwa imani iliyo
kwangu mimi.) It
is not good that the soul be without knowledge. (Proverbs 19:2) Only in God's
light we can see light. Prov. 4:7 - "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get
wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." Prov. 2:3-5 -
"Call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for
it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will
understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God."
All
training for life, and for Church and State, starts in the family. If children
are not brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, then both Church
and society suffer. If student are ignorant of God they are of no use to the
nation. For it is written: "Even a child is known by his actions, by
whether his conduct is pure and right." (Proverbs 20:11) As students you
prepare yourself for life responsibilities through the discipline that you receive
at the seminary. Therefore it is so important that teachers "manage their
seminary well and see that students are obeying with proper respect." (1
Timothy 3:4) The Bible says to fathers: Bring up your children "in the
training and instruction of the Lord,"(Eph. 6:4) for He is the source of
all knowledge and understanding. If the seminary neglect Christian values to
the student then there will be major problems in families, church, and state.
Fathers and mothers have the duty to care for the souls in their family in the
same way as teachers cares for the souls in the seminary. The Bible says:
"Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not
turn from it." (Proverbs 22:6)
PURPOSE OF EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS/SEMINARIANS

beginning of knowledge.

Prov. 22:6 - "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."
Colossians 3:5-10 - "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator."
Prov. 22:6 - "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it."

Romans 1:18-20 - "The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.

1 Timothy 6:12 - "Turn away from godless chatter and the opposing ideas of what is falsely called knowledge, which some have professed and in so doing have wandered from the faith."
1 John 4:1 - "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God… Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God.

This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world."
5. students/seminarians must learn
who and what they are in God's
plan.
Psalm 8:3-4 - "What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet."

through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive."

prosperity to all who trust and obey Him.

Deut. 6:1-9 - "These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life… Be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, promised you… Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength… Impress [these commandments] on your children."
Education originates with God and
the knowledge of God.
The Christian worldview holds that
God is sovereign over everything (Psalm 24:1).
The Sciences are a study of God's
creation (Ps. 19:1; Romans 1:20).
History is the story of God's
judgments and promises. (Ps. 33:11)
The Arts express human culture based
on faith and ethics. -
Education is thus more than just
school. (Deut. 6:7; 1 Cor. 15:33)
Education is to be
under the control of parents, and parents are told by our Lord Jesus Christ to
"let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the
kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

2. READING SKILLS
Here are five tips to help you improve your reading:1. Styles of reading
2. Active reading
3. speeding up your active reading
4. Words and vocabulary
1. Styles of reading
There are three styles of reading which we use in different situations:Scanning: for a specific focus
You move your eye quickly over the page to find particular words or phrases that are relevant to the task you're doing.It's useful to scan parts of texts to see if they are going to be useful to you:
- the introduction or preface of a book
- the first or last paragraphs of chapters
- the concluding chapter of a book.
Skimming: for getting the gist of something
you read quickly to get the main points, and skip over the detail. It's useful to skim:- to preview a passage before you read it in detail
- to refresh your understand of a passage after you have read it in detail.
Detailed reading: for extracting information accurately
Where you read every word, and work to learn from the text.In this careful reading, you may find it helpful to skim first, to get a general idea, but then go back to read in detail. Use a dictionary to make sure you understand all the words used.
2. Active reading
Always make notes to keep up your concentration and understanding.Here are four tips for active reading.
Underlining and highlighting
Note key words
Questions
Summaries
3.speeding up your active reading
Try the SQ3R technique. SQ3R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recall and Review.Survey
Gather the information you need to focus on the work and set goals:- Read the title to help prepare for the subject
- Read the introduction or summary to see what the author thinks are the key points
- Notice the boldface headings to see what the structure is
- Notice any maps, graphs or charts. They are there for a purpose
- Notice the reading aids, italics, bold face, questions at the end of the chapter. They are all there to help you understand and remember.
Question
Help your mind to engage and concentrate. Your mind is engaged in learning when it is actively looking for answers to questions.Try turning the boldface headings into questions you think the section should answer.
Read
Read the first section with your questions in mind. Look for the answers, and make up new questions if necessary.Recall
After each section, stop and think back to your questions. See if you can answer them from memory. If not, take a look back at the text. Do this as often as you need to.Review
Once you have finished the whole chapter, go back over all the questions from all the headings. See you if can still answer them. If not, look back and refresh your memory.4. Words and vocabulary
Make use of dictionaries
