well we start by introducing ourselves and our ministries. I am Adesanya Feyisola what about you

THE COMPASS

What about it?
Invented in ancient China sometime before the 2nd century and since then as proven useful in a wide range of human endeavours from mining to building to travelling to military to astronomy. One central use of the compass common to all these sectors of life is navigation. Every compass has in it a magnetic needle that points to the north and south poles with respect to magnetic field of the earth.

What as that got to do with us?
It is important to know that inside everyman is a God given compass (the human spirit)
“ the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly”- proverbs 20:27
Just as the compass is useful in virtually all fields of life, our compass (our spirit) is a useful tool in navigating our lives ranging from little things like whether to go out or not, what to say or not to say, business, finances, marriage, ministry e.t.c. With adequate knowledge of how to use a compass, even the smallest child will find his/her way through the thickest jungle. The question now is how do we use our compass?

How to use the compass
The first thing is to be sure the compass is working well. What do I mean by that? Just as the compass bears witness with the earth’s magnetic field, our spirit as Romans 8:16 tells us should bear witness with the spirit of God. So then, do all human spirits bear witness with the spirit of God? The answer is NO. verse 14 of the same Romans 8 tells us that this priviledge is reserved for only the sons of God (born again Christians). We can therefore say that everyman yet to be born-again has what can be refered to as a non-functional compass whose directions can not be trusted. This can offcourse be be corrected, all you need do is believe and confess the Lord Jesus and the compass is back in shape.

Having done this, it is worthy to note that more often than not, the compass is used in conjunction with a map. The map readily shows the location of objects and places, that is exactly what the word God is to a believer, a MAP.
“thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path”-psalms 109:105

A close look at the word reveals clearly where you are in God’s plans and purposes, where you are heading and even give details of what and what to expect as you journey through but then, it is by your spirit that you navigate your way from where you stand to where you are going. So then, the more of God’s word we take in, the easier it is for us to find our way in the issues of life.

And there is yet another thing we must do; pray, especially in the spirit (praying in tongues)
“likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groaning which can not be uttered; and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God”- Romans 8:26-27

Even as I have discovered in my own personal prayer life, every time we pray in the spirit especially over some unclear issues it is like exercising the compass to find a particular direction. Sometimes, it takes a day, sometimes two or even more but you soon discover that your spirit seems to be getting information as to what exactly should be done. What is happening is that the spirit of as I Corinthians 2:10 says is downloading the mind of God into our spirit.

Exercise
Now, as you put these things to use and constantly rely on your spirit to make the decisions of life thereby exercising your compass, you will soon discover that any time t, you can almost readily say that this and this is exactly what God will have you do.
“…even those who by reason of use have their senses exercise to discern both good and evil”- Hebrews 5:14

On a final note therefore, I like to implore you; learn to follow your COMPASS.

So interesting sir
more grace.
