Your Devotional message for 29th January 2023
Scripture:
For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, and in a multitude of counsellors there is safety (Proverbs 24:6).
Explanation:
“For by wise counsel you will wage your own war, and in a multitude of counsellors there is safety” (Proverbs 24:6). The scripture here gives us two of the benefits of wise counsel in life to wage spiritual warfare and for staying in the canopy of safety. Who is your counsellor? This means there are physical counsellors and whereas the Lord Jesus Christ is the greatest Counsellor (Isaiah 9:6).
However, in the World you need to be vigilant as there are wise and foolish counsellors.
In this year, you must learn to choose your human counsellors wisely. You must appropriate the mercy of God against all appearance of evil. As you walk in the glory of the Lord, the Holy Spirit will reveal His counsel about the Promises of God, His plans, guidance, direction, instructions, and enlightenment.
In today Daily Meditation, day 29 of the 31 days of the month of December, we will study and meditate on these scriptures relating to our new series ‘The counsel of the Lord’.
Example of wise counsel:
A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel (Proverbs 1:5)
Also, Jehonathan, David’s uncle, was a counsellor, a wise man, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons (1 Chronicles 27:32).
Examples of foolish counsel:
Then someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O Lord, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!”(2 Samuel 15:31).
Therefore, he (Ahaziah the son of Jehoram) did evil in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction (2 Chronicles 22:4).
Here are further scriptures:
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools; Pharaoh’s wise counsellors give foolish counsel. How do you say to Pharaoh, “I am the son of the wise, The son of ancient kings?” (Isaiah 19:11).
Every evil counsel over your life shall be turn into foolishness in the name of Jesus Christ. You will walk in the counsel of the Lord for your life. I pray for you that in this year the Lord shall bring to you revelation of His counsel, favour, mercy, blessing, success, and progress in the name of Jesus. Glory be to God.
Have you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour?
Today, let me encourage you that Jesus Christ came for your salvation and to give you freely Eternal life. If you are yet to receive Christ, do so today by repentance from all your sins and confess Jesus Christ as Your Lord and saviour.
Glory be to God!
We would love you to stay connected as we will study and meditate on ‘The Lord of Hosts’ throughout the month of February 2023.
Faith Confession of the Month:
Thanks be to God for my salvation, divine health, grace, glory, provision, protection, eternal life, healings, and supernatural ability at work in me. I operate in the Higher dimension of the Spirit and Power of God. I am more than a conqueror every day of my life. I function in the Powerful name of Jesus with great grace and Mighty Power of God for His great works – Healings, miracles, signs, and wonders. Infirmity in my body be scattered and be destroyed by Fire. I cast you out. Behold, I take authority over serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19). Prosperity is mine.
This month Our God, the Great Counsellor shall manifest His glory in your life in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
