LET YOUR COUNSEL PREVAIL OH LORD

Post date: Sep 12, 2014 4:00:35 AM

Moved by His unending love, God said only counsel concerning all His children irrespective of the situations confronting them will stand that is absolutely true and final. Whatever might happen anywhere under the heavens despite its magnitude, catastrophic nature, and the scope, the counsel of God had been scheduled to prevail. That is the reason that God is not moved by anything that will ever happen and is never afraid to step into any situation when we call on Him. Because God knows your past and had adequately destined your future; because He know where you are now; because He knows what you are doing, and because He knows your physically and spiritually battles, He will never panic at any of them but will rely on the counsel He had already given concerning you, and the devil has no alternative but to obey God.

David was made the king of Israel by grace, but he became very great and established through consistently relying on, and following the perfect counsel of God even when he went astray in decisions and actions as in the case of Uriah and his wife. He said; “The Lord is my chosen and assigned portion, my cup; you hold and maintain my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good heritage. I will bless the Lord, who has given me counsel; yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord continually before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad and my inner self rejoices; my body too shall rest and confidently dwell in safety, For You will not abandon me to the place of the dead, neither will you suffer your holy one to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; in your presence is fullness of joy, at your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.” Psalm 16:5-11. David was confident, fearless, courageous and absolutely secured through the counsel of God and that should be your portion as a true Christian.

Believer may suffer frustrations, delays, denials, and abuses; they will be persecuted and caused to cry and be punished, but despite all that, the counsel of God for them shall stand, and they will be made to rise again above those things that had held them back and down before, and they will rejoice at the fulfillment of the counsel of God upon their lives: Solomon said: “Lie not in wait as a wicked man against the dwelling of the righteous, the upright in right standing with God; destroy not his resting-place; For a righteous man falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity.” Proverbs 24:15-16

I pray over your life, over your family, over your health, over your job, over your church and ministry, over your marriage, over your home, over your children and over your finances, and over every situation that is troubling you right now or will trouble you later, that the perfect counsel of God will prevail over them and you will see the goodness of the Almighty God in the land of the living. You have waited too long for this day and time, you have endured too much in your wait and patience, and now, your wait and patience will begin to yield its fruits in your life in abundance.

Because of God’s perfect and complete counsel which is very effective in the lives of the righteous, no instrument of destruction or wastage shall prevail against them. This is the counsel of God: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched, nor will the flame kindle upon you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel your Savior” Isaiah 43:2-3, that was the counsel that worked for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego when they were thrown into the furnace of fire by Nebuchadnezzar. That was the counsel that also worked for Daniel in the den of hungry lions.

There are many troubling things that we do not know how they started, when they will end and what next to do; but I will stand with you and pray for God’s counsel to prevail. For prayers, Click here
