6. INTRODUCTION
This book brings to our knowledge the fathomless wisdom that God
employs to ensure behaviour change through the principles and practices of
redemption.
Our God is a thinking God, and his thinking is based on his own logic –
principles - whereby He executes his agenda. It is that logic that He applied
to ensure that the crowning work of his creation, man, behaves properly.
And the unveiling of that logic is the basis of this book, divided into three
sections.
We need to be exposed to divine reasoning so that we can fully key in to
God‟s divine agenda for our lives. This book seeks to do that by exposing
the need and imperative for behaviour modification- God‟s way, in PART
A.
The plan of God for behaviour change is encapsulated in one wordredemption. Explaining the meaning, basis, the actualisation and the effect
is what PART B is all about.
PART C explains the practicality of the divine plan of redemption in its
full measure and its bearing on behaviour change.
Welcome to change.

BAHAVIOUR-CHANGE SYSTEMS
Parents, teachers, the prison-justice system, the religious systems, the
church among others, ensure that those under their „jurisdiction‟ act in
accordance with the preferred tenets of the group.
In the home, at school, through policing, in religious organisations and
in the church, the focus is definitely on people.
A. Parental system
At home (in what we call the parental system), children are being
brought up to be responsible citizens of the society, useful to themselves
and to others. And this involves behaviour modification over a period of
time. Normally, the process starts right from infancy till the individual
reaches adulthood. An example is behaviour change from being in need of
assistance to clean up to being able to do the same by oneself. The way in
which parents ensure behaviour modification ranges from hands-on
approach as in toilet training, by modelling, and also by instruction
sometimes followed by reward or punishment, if the instruction was not
carried out.
The parental system is based on biological authority or the assumption
of it (as in guardianship or adoption). All things being equal, we are meant
to be under parental authority at birth and throughout the early years of our
lives. God ordained the family system as the first bastion of learning
towards God-oriented behaviour (Rom. 22:6, Deut. 6:7). But as with all
other things in the aftermath of the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden
[the fall connotes the original sin committed by Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden and the consequent fallout in their relationship with God
(Genesis 3)], the family system is subject to corruption. Generally, making it
fall greatly short of the original design. The fall out of this are all around us,
and they go without saying.

B. Education system
The school or education system is focused on behavioural change as
regards institutional learning. An example is the behaviour change involved
in learning how to read, write and do sums. Through rote and visual
learning, examples and assignment, punishment and reward, behavioural
changes are effected.
The education system is based on informational authority. Soon after
birth, we are thrown into the classroom world, under various authorities,
comprising of teachers, head teachers, principals, lecturers and trainers who
are to mould us into people that can offer valuable services to the society of
which we are part. The educational system serves to prepare people largely
for economic relevance. And because of that, it is limited as regards
behavioural modification.
C. Prison-justice system
The prison-justice system is set up via the collective will of the
community and nation. It is designed to effect behavioural change in the
aberrant members of the society, through various lengths of incarceration
or other forms of punishment. The fear of this is expected in part to make
people behave. The prison-justice system is meant to reorient offenders by
punishing them with fines or jail terms and in some cases train them in
skills through which they can benefit the community rather than constitute
a nuisance.
The prison-justice system is based on what is called “rule of law”, which
can be laid aside or made to stand on its head if a dictator-ruler comes
along. The basis is legislative authority or the authority of the state (Rom.
13:3-4). This system falls short in the area of effectiveness for behavioural
change because it is designed primarily to constrain and punish people
involved in unacceptable bad behaviour, not stop it.
D. Religious systems
The religious systems (and this is not inclusive of the church) are based
on what I call the interpretative authority of a person or group. That is, the
interpretation of what „truth‟ is, as seen by the human or “angelic” (Gal.
1:8-9) originator(s) of such religious organisation. The fall out in this is that
every truth purportedly delivered through that single person or any being
seeming like an angel or any other “heavenly” messenger could as well have
been a counterfeit truth by Satan in his agenda to deceive men and draw
them away from God, no matter how plausible, sensible, logical, socially
relevant, or miraculous their words or actions may seem (2 Cor. 11:14,
Rev.20:3).

Church
The church, which is an open organisation of believers in Jesus Christ,
comes with the promise of transforming lives. She is the custodian of the
divine power of God (John 1:12) through which it ensures behavioural
change by appealing to the supernatural energy of God inside everyone
child of God, using God‟s holy word- the scriptures (Psalms 119:11).
