Why We Reject Godly Counsel

By Deacon Ike Mbila

In this our month of “Godly Counsel” we must make a self determined effort to remember all we have been taught on the benefits of accepting a godly counsel.

We must constantly remember that we have been taught to ensure that all counsel given to us must be backed up by the word of God.

We must also remember that there is a great consequence that comes with not following godly counsel - 2 Chronicles 22:6-7. 


Please know that the real reason we all sometimes refuse to adhere to godly counsel is because of “demonic influence.”  Most Christians will argue that once you are born again as laid out in John 3:16-18 that satan can no longer have any influence over you.

Even Jesus Himself was tempted to turn a stone into bread; Peter was influenced by satan when he said Christ should not die, and when he denied Christ three times.

It might appear that we will do differently if we were Peter, I actually defer because the godly counsel we are charged with in the Bible today; we are failing woefully in them because of “demonic influence”. 

We forsake the gathering together of brethren; we refuse to tithe; our anger issues, our bitterness issues, our drinking and smoking binges, our harlotry, idolatry, envy, jealousy, greed, pride etc. All these are areas of manifestation of ungodly counsel, where we have failed God. 

The Lord will help us make a case for adapting good godly counsel, in Jesus Name. Amen.

You will have good success this 2018.

Remain blessed.

Shalom.
