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?
