THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY
BY PASTOR TIBIRU
TUMU
Blessed is the man
that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful. Ps 1:1; (Ps 26:4; Pr 4:14-15; Jer 15:17)
In this world, there
are two major groups of people, the godly and the ungodly; the godly are those
who have been set aside by God for His worship and service. These are those
whose lives are influenced by the Holy Spirit. They are those who are led by
the Spirit of God. Ro 8:14
The ungodly are the opposite of the Godly. Their lives are
ruled by their senses (see, smell, taste. Feel and hear) and Satan. Eph 2:2.
They are not led by the spirit of God. Counsel based on sense may be deceptive.
Since Satan has influence upon their lives, he can influence them to give you
an ungodly counsel for your destruction. Remember Satan is you adversary and is
out to steel destroy and kill you. John 10:10
Therefore you have to be on the cautious when an ungodly
person is out to counsel or advice you
They can be your friends, parents, children, family members
people you meet on the way, on the air, literature etcetera
They may or may not
have any evil intentions to give you bad advice. But since Satan and demons can
easily influence them for your destruction, you have to be very careful.
THE WIFE OF JOB
Then said his wife
unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. Job 2:29
ZERESH, THE WIFE OF
HAMAN
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let
a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king
that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto
the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
Es 5:14
THE FRIENDS OF JOB
Another group that you have to be careful about their
advice is immature Christians. Though they are born again, they have not
matured to be able to the source of what is influencing them, satan, senses, or
God
