HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE HOREMOW
DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY PASTOR PAUL RIKA INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR.
DATE: SATURDAY OCTOBER 17, 2026.
TOPIC: GOOD COUNSELLORS ARE NEEDED FOR YOUR SUCCESS.
TEXT: 2 SAMUEL 16:23 “And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.”
KEY VERSE: PROVERBS 20:18 “Every purpose is established by counsel: and with good advice make war.”
The counsel of Ahitophel as if one went to meet with God. If he told you “Don’t do it” It was as if God spoke to you. His counsel was perfect! Whatever he counselled you to do was just like God speaking. God put His wisdom in people for your good. He granted the opportunity to some people to receive some training or acquire some skills for service to humanity.
God puts gifts in people. He has given people various gifts through training for your good. So, why are you not consulting them?. Problems are going on in your family between you and your spouse and you are not consulting those who know better how to solve it? For ten years now, you never went for counselling to know what to do.
You stay there in darkness waiting to die and go to hell while people around you are not aware of what you are passing through. Perhaps you and your spouse sleep on the same bed but face different directions. What is the reason for that? Have you sought counsel? May be your own story is that your wife despises you. But have you sought counsel to find out what you should do or stop doing? Have you seen the man of God?
A man visited his friend who was a doctor and said, “Doctor, I am now putting my house in order because I know I will soon die.” “What is wrong with you?” He said, “I have sharp pain in my chest which is burning inside me seriously. We have prayed and fasted and done everything but there is no solution so I know I will soon die.”
As conversation went on, the doctor began to prepare a mixture. He asked to know what preparation his friend was making for his death and he began to explain to him. As the conversation continued, the doctor gave him the medication to drink. After some minutes, the doctor asked him how he was feeling. The friend replied, “I am surprised, the pain has started to reduce and I may not be dying again.”
Thought for the day: Seek counsel for a good success in your endeavours.
Song for the day: I have chosen the way, I have chosen the right way.
Bible reading for the day: Mark 10-11
