The Ultimate Counselor – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional June 24th

(The Holy Spirit Has All The Information You Require)

TO THE BIBLE: Proverbs 11:14
“Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.”

LET’S TALK
James had an important decision to make about his career. Everyone gave him different advice, leaving him confused. He sought counsel but prayed first, asking the Holy Spirit for guidance.

As he studied the Word, clarity came. A “multitude of counsellors” therefore means that you’re getting sufficient or accurate information to help you decide on an appropriate course of action.

Back in those days when this verse was written, they didn’t have access to as much information as we have today. They had what they called the “king’s advisors.” He depended on them for wise counsel.

They were the “wise” men: the king’s counsellors, such as Ahithophel in the days of King David; his counsel was said to be as though one had heard from God (2 Samuel 16:23).

But today, we have lots of materials that we can study to get sufficient information on a subject that can help us make an informed decision.

So, it’s about the quality of information, not about the number of people you’re calling to counsel you.

However, you have the most dependable Counsellor who can give you the most accurate information you require, and that’s the Holy Spirit.

The Psalmist said, “I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons.” (Psalm 16:7).

The Holy Spirit is the one who instructs you in your inward man. He gives you instructions by which He guides your life.

Some of these may not even be expressly dealt with in the Scriptures. For example, you could require information concerning travelling or making some purchases.

The Counsellor in you—the Holy Spirit—can provide you with necessary information to enable you make the right decisions.

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for the Holy Spirit, my divine Counsellor, who lives in me, granting me insight into mysteries and secrets, and sufficient information to make wise and informed decisions and choices. I’m triumphant always and in every place because I’m guided and instructed by the Spirit in all my affairs, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
