Isaiah 11:2
The gift of counsel is simply when God's Spirit is speaking through you to advise a person.
God gives advise to people.
God is a God who communicates.
Another name for counsel is advise.
We advise our children, friends, colleagues and family members when necessary.
In the same manner, God gives advise to His people, His church, to His children.
It has always been God's way to work through human beings, so when God wants to advise you He will do it through someone.
It is up to us to be sensitive to God's ways and God's Spirit.
God can use His apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelists to advise you.
He can also use any of His sons and daughters to advise you.
Wise people go for advise.
No one can give you better advise than God.
1 John 2:20
In life people will need advice.
However we have to be careful whose advise to take, wrong advise can make or break us.
Wrong advise was what destroyed Absalom.
Absalom listened to the advise of Husai the Arkite instead of Ahithopael.
2 Samuel 17:14
It turned out for Absalom and Ahithopael's destruction.
Ahithopael was a powerful man in the days of King David.
He was one of David's right hand men and he had the gift of counsel in abundance.
His gift was so remarkable that whenever he recommended a solution, gave an instruction or advise it was like consulting an oracle.
It was as if God Himself was advising a person.
This was how powerful Ahithopael's gift is. 2 Samuel 16:23
His gift of counsel was what made him a right hand man of the King and put him in David's inner circle.
Counselling is one of the ways we bring solutions to the issues of the world.
Counselling or advising answers to wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
You have to have knowledge to know which information to share.
You have to have an understanding of the situation the person you are counselling is in to give good advise.
And you have to be wise to analyse the situation well and know how to give the advise.
I wouldn't advise a church to open a counselling department without proven men who have wisdom, understanding and knowledge.
Counselling is not an easy thing to do.
To be a good counsellor you will have to have the gift of counsel.
Counselling people can be tricky.
It can be tricky because life can have it's twists and turns and the situation people are in is not always what it looks like.
People's situation are not always straight forward.
A good Christian counsellor must be connected to the Father's heart.
There's a difference between a 'professional' counsellor who is trained but not anointed, who has book knowledge but doesn't have the grace to help you solve your issues.
A professional counsellor will charge you for his or her service even if your challenge is not solved.
An anointed counsellor is a man or woman who is graced by heaven and has the dimension of God's inspiration and counsel in him or her to instruct and counsel other people.
Not everyone is wise enough to counsel us.
Don't try and solve problems too deep for you, if you don't have the solution.
Don't worsen people's condition if you don't have the answer.
We should have the humility to say or admit an issue is beyond us.
There are illegitimate counsellors about today.
It's God's will that all His children can counsel because we have access to His Spirit.
