HOPE Psalm 42:1-11 Devotional:- “Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God” (v.11) NKJV If any man will experience sustaining joy, he must first be hopeful. Hope is the strength of joy. Hope is the reason for the coming joy. It is an expectation according to the will of God. It is an assurance of a coming joy (Hebrews 12:2). It is also the strength of faith (Hebrews 11:1). If there is no hope, there may also not be joy, but a man of hope will continue in joy. Oftentimes, we observe the current happenings around us, and it looks like there is no hope. The truth is that current events are not the determining factor for our tomorrow. God’s word says we cannot compare the suffering of now to the glory that is coming (Romans 8:18). The truth is that no hope can be genuine till it has a sure and certain promise. This is a promise that cannot fail, and that is why our hope should be in...

SPIRIT OF COUNSEL

SPIRIT OF COUNSEL

Genesis 41:29-41
Devotional:- “So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants” (v.37) NKJV

    Even though you are just an entity, because you are a carrier of the Holy Spirit, what is inside you is so big and unlimited. In other words, you are more than one. Your inner man is innumerable. What is in you is far richer than you can imagine. One of the great arms of the Spirit in you is the Spirit of counsel (Isaiah 11:2). You need to know that you are not an ordinary being. You belong to the order of God. So you carry all that is of God.

The Spirit of counsel is the Spirit that can dish out understanding and solutions to all situations. At a point in time, every natural and ignorant believer will come to the point of confusion. Not knowing what next to do. But because you carry the Holy Spirit, you will not come to that point. If you find yourself there get to know that you caused it and not God (I Corinthians 15:33). It is caused by your ignorance of the truth and permission for sorrows of heart.

With the Spirit of counsel, Joseph was able to offer counsel to king Pharaoh that delivered the whole nation, so also Daniel and Ahithophel (2 Samuel 16:23, Proverbs 20:5). This is the way to tap into it, understand without doubt that by the Spirit of God in you giving counsel of any level is cheap. Also, understand that it takes joy to fetch out of the well of salvation (Isaiah 12:3). If you are going to be a blessed vessel to God, sorrow must not be your lifestyle. You must trust God for all things and operate in the joy of hope (Romans 5:2). Tears will not let you give cheers and joy to others. Soon, even your boss will recognize your valuable counsel that can bring total change and the world shall recognize you.

PRAYER: LORD, TAKE ME TO THE REALM ABOVE SORROW FOR RICH COUNSEL

“WHEN THERE IS TRUE JOY IN YOU, YOUR INNER EYE WILL ALWAYS BE OPENED”
