Bible Reading in One Year: Hebrew 8-10
Today's scripture tells about the critical nature of counsel. King Ahasuerus had a very challenging matter in his hand. It had to do with his home, kingdom and his personal comfort. Unknown to him, it had to do with the purpose of God. Rather than taking unilateral decision, he chose to take counsel from his seven highest officials and he got it right. King David of Israel had two great counsellors that advised him in the times of peace and war. One of them was Ahitophel, whose counsel was like the counsel of God. The man was so anointed that when he switched from David to Absalom, David had to pray that God would rise and defeat the counsel of Ahitophel. By experience, David knew how powerful a wise counsel is in the affairs of life and in determining how a battle goes.
Do you want to do great things for God? Do you want to win in the battles of life? Then you must avail yourself of wise counsel. Get advice from people who are well informed. By the time you pick from here and there, you will be better informed and be able to come to sound conclusion. Are you faced with crucial decision to make? Do you have in your hand a project and you don’t know what to do? Are you confused about a vital matter? Seek wise counsel. Gather vital information, analyse your findings, the pray and ask God for His mind. You will surely get to a conclusion that will be best for you, For by wise counsel thou shall make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety Prov. 24:6.
Finally, always make sure you align your decisions with God’s Word because there are so many psychologists and self ordained prophets out there, giving evil and carnal counsel. Beware of them. Any counsel short of God’s Word is evil and must be totally rejected. Everyone who sincerely seeks God will find Him, …I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you Psa.32:8 (NLT).
Prayer/Action
* Give thanks to God for the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of counsel.
* Rebuke every spirit of confusion and ask for a clear direction in the affairs of your life.
* Ask God to bless you with wise counsellors.
* Reject every spirit or force of confusion over every area of your life.
