Who Should You Seek Counsel From?

I see people call friends and family members to seek their opinion on marital and other life issues. A woman picks up her phone to ask a man or woman what he thinks about her husband. A man picks up his phone to know what another woman or man thinks about his issues with his wife. You are deceiving yourself because it can only take a heart that is touched by God to tell you the truth you need to know. Many are jealous of your home; always have this in mind. Many wish you evil even when you call them friends and they act to be one. Many can't wait to see that your marriage crumble. You laugh, wine, and dine with them, but their hearts are evil towards you. All they will offer you are advice to hurt and scatter your marriage or relationship with in-laws, siblings, and parents.

Be wise. That you hangout with them doesn't mean they are your friends. That they profess love doesn't mean they love you. Be careful. What they tell you is not what they do in their own homes. How they tell you to run your business isn't how they run their own. How they tell you to treat your mother-in-law isn't how they treat theirs. How they tell you to treat your husband isn't how they treat theirs. How they tell you to treat your wife isn't how they treat theirs.

Jesus said, the children of the world are wiser than the children of the kingdom. You are safer talking to someone who does not know you or anything about you. Mind you; many will claim and act like they have no interest, but their hearts are evil.  If you cannot talk to a counselor or a pastor (some pastors don't tell you the truth because of selfish interests), talk to Jesus about issues in your home. He is the best friend you can ever have.

The heart of man is deceitful and desperately wicked, who can know it?
I pray for you today that God will expose every Judas around you. I pray that God will raise you people whose hearts He has touched. I pray that every counsel of Ahitophel against your life, relationship, and marriage be brought to nought in Jesus matchless name.

And now, may the Lord bless you. May He cause His face to shine upon you and give you rest.
