Conquering Evil Counselors

“And one told David, saying Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray You, turn the advice of Ahithophel to foolishness.” 2Sam 15:31.

All advice against you is turned to foolishness and hence rejected in Jesus name.

Everyone needs the favor of man to be who God wants him to be(Luke 2:52). An evil counselor is someone who counsels people against you. Some of them are like Ahitophel who when he gives counsel is as if God has spoken. Some may be like Haman who had position of authority with the king. In any case all of them can be conquered. David conquered Ahitophel by asking God to turn his advice to foolishness. His counsel was subsequently rejected and he ended up hanging himself. Haman was conquered by God’s favor on Esther and the Jews. Hear the word of the Lord: A favor is coming upon you that will frustrate all evil counselors in Jesus name.

Are you asking for a favor, seeking for a job, promotion, contract, financial assistance or something good and you sense someone may be offering counsel against you? Then do these
1. Have faith in God that He will give you the favor you need. “When a man's ways please God, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.” Prov 16:7. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him……” Hebrews 11:6
2. Ask God to turn every counsel against you to foolishness in Jesus name.

It is your season.
