Christians in general and Celestians, have been advised on the need to engage in the following, in the year 2017 and beyond, in order to overcome challenges.

This declaration was made known by Bro Omosehin Enigbokan, in his sermon for the first Friday service for the New Year.

"Christian needs to be guided, directed and monitored in order to be in a perfect relationship with God and to overcome both minor and major issues of life" he said.

He sighted that a perfect example of how Christians can be guided is how God directed His angle to inform the earthly parents of our Lord Jesus Christ about the threat coming to his life.

He listed the following as the ways in which we can be guided at maintaining good relationship with God and overcoming the evils of this world are:

Dream

Firstly, and according to the scriptural reading , DREAM is a vital tool in Christianity that function as spiritual compass guiding people on what to do and what not to do.

Dream is common to all by default. Even gentiles dream dreams. Improve on your spiritual life and you will be guided by dreams. Matt 2:13, 19-20, 12, 22; Num 12:6.

Prophecy

The second spiritual compass is PROPHECY. I pray the prophet/prophetess unit of the Church will have a better understanding of their role and guide people geneuly as divinely directed. 1 Cor 14:4; Amos 3:8.

Understanding and Applying The Word of God


Another spiritual compass is the perfect understanding and application of the word of God. I strongly advise that we create more time for the study of the Bible.

The powerful messages in this Holy Book if properly applied is a sure spiritual compass. Heb 4:12; Pro 30:5; Lk 8:11.

Prayer

Lastly brethren, our sincere and coordinated prayer to God is a spiritual compass. When we pray in conformity with the Biblical principles of prayer, it is a sure spiritual compass. 1 King 8:45; 2 Chr. 30:27; Psalm 5:3, 42:8.
