Topic: Avoid Wicked Counsellors
Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 22:1-5 (KJV)
1And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
3He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
4Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction.
5He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.
KEY VERSE: “He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.” 2 Chronicles 22:3
Message
God is a loving Father and desires the best for His children. But the enemy (Satan), desires our downfall. In life, you need a guide so that you will be guided to make the right choices in every area of your life.
In our Bible passage, Ahaziah chose to follow the instructions of his mother. He behaved wickedly and followed the bad lifestyle of his parents. God lifted him up but he abused the privilege. His determination to forsake God and be a wicked king led to his downfall. Who is your counsellor? In the midst of many counsellors, the truth will be established. Let Jesus be your best Counsellor and the Holy Spirit be your Guide. Avoid evil company, bad films or anything that will lure you to do evil.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
