FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN (2) “WONDERFUL COUNSELOR”

By -

 “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”. Isaiah 9:6

In the previous part, we discussed 'the government shall be upon His shoulder', and today, we'll explore the phrase 'Wonderful Counselor'. Keep in mind that we are discussing the most significant gift ever given to the world. 

Who is a counselor? He is trained to provide guidance on personal or psychological problems. They provide advice to those who need it. Wisdom, knowledge, and experience are the necessary traits of a counselor. We were informed in the first part that Jesus is the embodiment of God's wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:24). Also, Jesus, though God, came to this world in the flesh as a human just to experience and feel how it is like. The Scripture says in Hebrew 4:15 “For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin (Amp).  Many missed it in life because they were victims of wrong counsel, although the book of Proverbs 8:14 says, 'Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom; I am understanding, I have strength.' 

I want you to know that Christ understands whatever you may be going through. Do you remember him weeping (John 11:35) when his friend Lazarus died, although he later raised him up (John 11:41-45). 

Do you need counsel about wealth? He said He is the one that teaches your hand to profit (Isaiah 48:17)

Is it about healing? He said that by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Do you require wisdom? He suggested that you ask Him and he will provide it generously (James 1:5). Are you lonely or have people around you forsaken you? He made a promise not to leave or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8). 

Go to him today. He is waiting for you. He is the wonderful counselor. He is full of wisdom, knows the future, controls all things, and can never fail or mislead you.

You can always trust Him, He won’t get tired of you.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,And lean not on your own understanding;

In all your ways acknowledge Him,And He shall direct your paths.

 -Proverbs 3 : 5-6

WITHOUT PRESCRIPTION

November 16th-22nd is designated as World Antibiotic Awareness Week, what is the reason behind it? Antibiotics (Greek anti, “against”; bios, “life”) is chemical compounds used to kill or inhibit the growth of infectious organisms. Originally, the term referred only to organic compounds, produced by bacteria or molds that are toxic or other microorganisms. The term is now used loosely to include synthetic and semisynthetic organic compounds. Although these drugs are excellent, they are being utilized improperly due to the lack of prescriptions, which is harmful and dangerous for our health. This is exactly what most Christians do. We seldom go to God to inquire before embarking on a project, but instead go ahead on our own strength. This is contrary to the Bible's advice to trust in the LORD with all your heart and not depend on our own understanding. Seeking his will in everything you do will guide you to the right path. ( Proverbs 3:5-6 ) The Gibeonite deceived Israel in Chapter 9...

THE HIJACKED LIFE

  The 9/11 attack, where two planes were hijacked and flown into the North and South Towers of The World Trade Center in New York City, resulting in both towers collapsing, remains one of the unforgettable occurrences in the world.   The attack was not planned by the original pilot of the plane, but it happened because some terrorist hijacked the plane from them. The Scripture mentions a demon-possessed man who lived in a tomb in Gadarenes. Despite being naked and unable to be held by a chain or shackles, it was discovered that an army of unclean spirits was inhabiting him. They are the ones controlling his life. They've hijacked it from him and make him do whatever they want. After Jesus removed them from his life, the man became still and free and began spreading the Gospel of the Lord ( Luke 8:26-39). Most of us are living a life that we don't want or like to live, but we can't control it. It's because our life has been hijacked by the devil or his agent in human for...

YOU STILL HAVE ACT IT OUT (THE MARVELOUS JOURNEY)

After viewing the documentary on Giannis Sina Ugo Adetokumpo titled ‘ The Marvelous Journey ’ from Prime Video. I was reflecting on how he grew up in a slum in Greece and achieved success as a basketball player for  Milwaukee Bucks  in NBA and his country. I inquired with God, 'Have you composed all of that?', The answer was, "Yes, but you still have to execute it." I recalled the vigorous practice, workout, discipline, and deep love for God and his family. Having a script written for you by the producer is not enough; you must show up and perform your role. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might” (Ecclesiastes 9 : 10). It's possible for you to be chosen to bring your family out of poverty, just like Giannis, or do some great things, but if you don't rise to the occasion. Someone else will be chosen by God. Remember, King Saul was replaced by little David just because of his disobedience. 1 Samuel 13:14 “But now your kingdom must end, for th...
