WONDERFUL COUNSELOR

Text : Isaiah 9:6 

 *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.* 

Everyone needs a counsellor. Proverbs 11:14  says *Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.*  That is, without counsel, failure is imminent. If counsel is this important,  wisdom demands that you seek for it.

However, not all counsellors can be relied on. There are good and bad counsels. Rehoboam, the king that reigned in Isreal after King Solomon,  lost more than two third of his kingdom forever because he listened to a wrong counsel.  1 kings 12:8-17.

Now, there's only one counsellor that can never go wrong. His name is Jesus Christ. He is called Wonderful Counselor. _The Net version of the Bible referred to Him as the *Extraordinary Strategist.*_ He has never failed and He will never fail.

 ```For a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us. He shoulders responsibility and is called: Extraordinary Strategist, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.``` 
Isaiah 9:6 NET.
 
Hear what He says in Proverbs  8:14:  _Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength._ 

 *Who is your counsellor? Whose counsels have you been listening to? You are as good as the counsels you listen to.* 

It is wisdom to follow the only one who cannot fail and heed his counsels. One of the good tidings that the birth of Jesus brings to us is that Jesus is our Counsellor- a wonderful Counsellors.

Bible reading: Isaiah 9:6&7

 *PRAYER FOCUS*

1. Father, thank you for the gift of your Son unto humanity. Thank you for sending us your only begotten Son. 

2.Dear Lord God, I ask that you give me the grace to follow all of your counsels.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
