THE GREAT COUNSELLOR


READ: 2 KINGS 7:1-7
The kind of breakthrough you receive is directly proportional to the quality of your faith in God. Little faith produces little breakthrough while mighty faith produces mighty breakthrough. Don’t be doubter; be a believer. There was a certain lord who, as a trusted counsellor and adviser to the king, would rather have his own report listened to than that of the Lord. The man of God had said that there would be supernatural abundance and a breakthrough but the king’s counsellor replied that even if God made windows in Heaven, the things predicted by the prophet of God could not happen. The prophet of the Lord turned to the adviser to the king and said it should be unto him according to his faith. Who is your counsellor? On whom do you lean? Who is your adviser? The answer you give will determine quite a lot about your future. There is one Counsellor that I have and I am willing to make Him available to you too. His name is Jesus. Isaiah 9:6 tells us about one particular person that God, in His infinite mercies, has given us: “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Jesus Christ is the Wonderful Counsellor. Jesus is the One who has been counselling the Trinity before the world began. He is the One in the trinity who counselled the others to make Man in their own image. We are made in His own image because God the Father and God the Holy Spirit are Spirits. Today, God the Son is sitting on the right side of the Father like a man. He is the Great Adviser. He will never lead you astray. Let Him be your Counsellor.
MEMORIZE: ROMANS 11:20 –Well said. Because of unbelief they ere broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear.
