We Need Good, Christ Centered and Godly Counsel…

“14- Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.” (Proverbs 11:14 KJV)

A good, Christ centered and godly counsel or advice is worthy to be followed. A business person, an athlete, a pastor or an ordinary individual need a good counsel. In (proverbs 5:1-2) Solomon was addressing himself to his son in verse 1, he said “My son…” But we must also remember that Solomon was addressing himself to us too as his sons. He said; “Attend unto my wisdom…” Then he made a follow through after he laid the foundation; “Bow your ear to my understanding:” The foundation was for us to pay attention and exercise the writer’s wisdom. The wisdom that Solomon gain, and he learned from the Lord and His Word. He experienced the ups and down of this life. Solomon knew what it means to be separated from the fellowship with God because of sin.

Be ready to hear what the Spirit is saying to you and put them into practice. Exercise and apply Solomon’s wisdom, and understanding in your daily life. So you may act wisely and not stupidly and blindly. Read the book of Proverbs everyday at least a chapter a day. The Bible says; “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” (Revelation 2:29 KJV) Open your ears and your heart to Christ who died on the cross for your sins.

Our Path is as the Shining Light

“Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved: but he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.” (Proverbs 28:18; 16:25 KJV)

A survival instructor for military shared to me their tactics on how to catch a monkey in the jungle. He said that the easiest way to catch a monkey is to set up a trap. And the trap would be a coconut. You make a small cut on the top of the coconut, and scrape the white stuff or coconut meat. Then you put some food or nuts inside. He said that once the monkey put his hand inside the coconut, and got hold of the food in it, the monkey will never get loose of it, and will go away holding onto the food with his hand closed. That will prevent the monkey from running or climbing the tree. It’s very simple and interesting, but the lesson to learn in our analogy could be a life saving, and beneficial even for eternity. It means be aware of the trap of the devil and don’t step into its way to destruction. The Bible says; “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” As Christians, we are the light of the world and the Bible says that our “…path is as the shining light.”

In (Proverbs 4:17 KJV), It is obvious that wickedness is their life. They eat and drink in wickedness and in darkness. In (Proverbs 4:19 KJV) “The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.” Praise God (Proverbs 4:18 KJV) “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”

Come Out From Among Them!

“14- Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15- And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16- And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” (II Corinthians 6:14-16 KJV)

It means we are not supposed to fellowship with sinners. What I mean of having fellowship with sinners is when you agree with their sinful acts. It’s different when you are with sinners as compared to be in fellow with sinners. We are all sinners in the sight of God. “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 23- For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:10; 23 KJV) But the difference is when you have asked Christ to forgive you of your sins, and you have repented of your sins; you are now a forgiven sinner and you’re not supposed to live in sin but for God.

While those who are practicing sinners, is still in sin, and obviously, they are living in sin. Anyone who turned their back from God and would not repent of their sins; those are the people who lives in sin and their lifestyle are sinful in the sight of God. You don’t walk along with them on their way to sin and Satan’s devices. Apostle Paul said; “17- Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,18- And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” (II Corinthians 6:17- 18 KJV)

Don’t Disable the Line to God’s Throne!

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.” (John 15:7 KJV)

When we arrived from our mission trip in the Philippines, I had a problem with my cell phone. I only received the incoming messages from facebook, but I can’t make an outgoing call. I looked at my iphone like a piece of junk. It was like a useless, nice piece of junk. No matter how great the promises of God to us are, and no matter how precious the Word of God is; if we don’t use it and don’t exercise what it says it would mean nothing to us. Apostle Paul says; “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21- Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20 KJV)

God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think… and the only way to disable God’s exceeding abundance blessings is for us not to ask or pray. And we can disable God’s working power in us and in our churches by lack of prayer. Jesus said; “And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.14- If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:13-14 KJV)
