Godly Counsel that Makes Us Prosper
Dr. Paul Dhinakaran
My precious friend, today's promise is from Isaiah 28:29, which states that ‘God is wonderful in counsel and excellent in wisdom.’ Therefore, you are being given God's wonderful counsel and excellent wisdom. As a result, everything you do will prosper because when God speaks things into existence, they come to pass. Let me share with you a wonderful testimony shared by a Sister named Sahaya Edwin. Her husband, Bro. Sahaya Raj was a fisherman, and they owned their own fibre boat. However, things took a turn for the worse, and they suffered a significant loss. They were unable to pay for their child's education, so they were forced to sell the boat and take on daily wage jobs. Sahaya Raj began working for other boats on a daily basis, but they were still unable to pay off their debts, let alone afford proper food. They found themselves struggling financially and unsure of how to proceed.
One day, they attended a Jesus Calls meeting, and during the prayer, I prophetically called out Sis. Sahaya Edwin's name, saying, "Edwin! Your whole family calls you Edwin as a pet name. God is releasing those who are under the burden of debt. Edwin, God's power is coming upon you to lift you up. You will have your inheritance." The family felt blessed by those prophetic words and were overjoyed to hear them. In that same meeting, another miracle occurred, and Sahaya Raj's back pain was healed.
After this experience, things slowly began to change for the better in their lives. They were finally able to pay back their debts, and Sis. Sahaya Edwin was able to secure a government job despite only having completed 12th standard. Today, they are free of debt, and their boat business has begun to thrive once again. God has restored everything back into their lives, and they are eternally grateful for their blessings. What a great Jesus we have! Often, we find ourselves unsure about what to do or who to turn to for guidance. However, God promises to provide us with His wonderful counsel and make us excellent in all that we do. People will look upon us and say, "This man or woman has great wisdom," all because of the counsel we receive from God. Today, I pray that the counsel of God comes upon you in the name of Jesus. May you hear His voice when you need guidance, may you understand His counsel in your heart, and may you excel with wisdom in all that you do. May you also prosper in the name of Jesus.
PRAYER:
Loving Heavenly Father, I am grateful for the encouragement that I have received through Your word. Your counsel is excellent, and Your deeds are wonderful. Lord, I know that You have all the solutions to my problems, and You are the answer to my prayers. You are more than enough for me to excel in all that I do. While others may trust in horses and chariots, I put my trust in You and Your wise counsel. I believe that You will never let me down. You will guide me out of my problems, shame, and lack and lead me to a place of excellence and blessings that You have prepared for me. Your deeds are great, Lord, and with Your mighty hand, You will lift me to great heights. My ears are open to Your counsel alone. I give You all the glory. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
