READ: Isaiah 9:2-7
2 The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3 Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

The first dump truck we bought at the Redemption City in Nigeria wasa result of the wise counsel I got from the then Camp Manager. We had received some money that looked substantial to me, and I felt we should go ahead to execute some of our building projects. As I contemplated the next project to embark on, the Lord instructed me to seek counsel from the Camp Manager. When the Commander-in-Chief speaks, I don’t waste time in carrying out His bidding. Then, the Camp Manager suggested we buy a truck for transporting sand from the quarry, instead of buying from resellers. This was contrary to what I had in mind, but I listened. After buying the truck, I realised that it helped to reduce the cost of our construction projects drastically as we bought the sand we used for construction at a cheaper rate.
My child, at this stage of your life, you need wise counsel on everything. Don’t be too quick to take action without discussing your intentions with a wise counsellor.
KEY POINT
If you do not take wise counsel, yu will bear the consequences of your actions.
HYMN 18 – WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
- When we walk with the Lord,
In the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

CHORUS
Trust and obey!
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.
- Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey. - Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey - But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey. - Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.
