Good Counsel Is Needed For Your Success

Sunday 8th March 

Text: 2 Samuel 16:23
Key Verse: Proverbs 11:14 “Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of business there is safety.”
Seek counsel to avoid the fall. I want you to know that counsel is important, and so the Lord directs you to seek counsel. Many of you do your things without counselling, and that is why you fail. You assume that you are almighty; taking decisions without contacting anybody, and without saying, “God, I need your guidance, I need more ideas.” God will direct you to see somebody more experienced than you on that matter. The person will tell you what to do. When God called Paul the Apostle, He asked him to go into the city where he would find a man who would tell him what to do. But you do not want to refer to any man; you are not seeing any man; you just take up a thing and do it. You go into any venture and just move forward. You failed because you did not seek counsel. Whatever comes to your mind, you just go ahead to execute it, without praying through for guidance. You go ahead without seeking counsel to know whether the thought in your mind is correct or not. You ought not to have done that. In the church, you don't bother to see your pastor for counsel. 
You want to marry, no counsel, no advice. Whoever you choose, you just go ahead to marry. That is your style. You dreamt a dream, and you woke up to go and carry out what you dreamt about. Who told you that the Lord spoke in that dream? You did not bother to verify. That is why you failed. The devil gets you cheaply. Your mind is so simple that you are easily carried away. That is why God is asking you to check it up by counselling, and by a multitude of counsellors. Even in secular matters, there are specialists in various fields who you need their counsel on how a thing should be done. They are trained people and are learned; they have understanding in that field, and you need to consult them to receive sufficient counsel. If this be so in the secular world, how much more in Christ?

Thought For The Day: To be guided by counsel for success is wisdom.

Song For The Day: Lord teach me Your way, Lord teach me Your way...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
