“…Son of man, receive into your heart all my words that I speak to you and hear with your ears…”- Ezekiel 3:10 (NKJV)
Over the years, I have witnessed lots of God’s people play down on counsel. They receive counsel and just shrug it off but at the end of the day they start paying a great price because they did not give value to counsel. Years ago, a certain lady was told not to get married to a particular guy but she didn’t listen, she was head-over-heels in love with this guy and got married to him. After a few years of marriage, the young man left her. Did you see how ignoring counsel can be? I remember some years back, a spiritual daughter of mine came to meet me frustrated and she said she wanted to quit and go back home because she couldn’t get a job. So, I told her not to do that because God has a great plan for her. She listened to me and decided to follow my counsel. Today, she is the one enjoying it. The question is, what kind of life do you want to have? Is it one of ease or one of difficulty?
I encouraged you to make a conscious decision this day to receive counsel at different stages in your life and value them. Ignoring counsel is not in your favor because when you do, you forsake your own mercy. Most of the people I know that have ignored spiritual counsel never have a good experience and that is why I am writing this article to open your eyes to the right thing to do. Interestingly, it takes nothing to follow counsel, all that is required of you is to give it some thought, pray about it and do the needful. The Bible says “…a wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel….” Proverbs 1:5 (GNT)
Today’s Rhema
If you don’t want to fall but stand, then you must go for counsel and treat them with great value.
Confession for the Day
Father In the name of Jesus, I receive today’s message as a wise counsel from you oh Lord, and I declare that receiving and placing value on counsel is a part of my life from this day forth in Jesus’ name. I prophesy that as I receive counsel, I receive grace to produce results in all that I do in Jesus name. Amen!
