“TAKE HEED TO WISE COUNSELLING”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Without deliberation, plans go wrong; but with many advisers, they succeed. People take pleasure in anything they say; but a word at the right time, how good it is!” (Proverbs 15:22-23).
Where there is no counsel, purposes are frustrated, but with many counselors, they are accomplished. A man has joy in making an apt answer, and a word spoken at the right moment–how good it is!
MINISTRY OF COUNSELLING
The greatest trust between individuals is the trust of giving counsel. He that will not be counselled cannot be helped.
Get a good counsel before you begin and when you have decided, act promptly.
More grace means more death to self. More life means more submission.
More revelation means more humility.
The counselling ministry is an important and integral part of the overall ministry of the pastor.
No pastor can fully accomplish his calling in ministry without paying attention to the counselling of the individual members of his flock. Unlike preaching and teaching, which are mainly done on the pulpit, praying is done mainly in the closet.
Counselling involves a direct and personal interaction between the pastor and individuals. Counselling is necessary, especially when people need guidance in life, direction in their career, light in discouragement situation or despondency and help in times of trouble.
The world is full of confusion and crisis. Consequently, people of every class, status, and society are in need of help and direction through counselling. Good, godly and wise counselling is therefore necessary in the church.
People lose their way without wise counselling from the leadership but a nation succeeds and stands in victory when it has many good counselors to guide it.
May we follow the counsel of the Holy Spirit in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
Everybody shout, “AMEN HALLELUJAH!”
Sabbath shalom and good morning.
