Message:  Whose Counsel do you seek?

Foundational Scripture: 2 Chronicles 21-25

Message Scripture: 2 Chronicles 24:2 & 17-19

Here are 3 things from this passage that are worth noting: 

• First, Joash’s relationship with God was in a good place while he sought counsel from someone who loved and respected God
• Second, people who are most interested in position and power usually give advice that benefits them 
• Third, the advice we take doesn’t just affect us but also the people around us 

Ways to determine wise counsel: (This applies to the counsel we give and receive)

• Is it interested in your relationship with God:

• Is it about position or relationships:

• Is it about fixing the situation or restoring relationships:Is it based in love

• • Is it God honoring 
  • Is it about blessing others 
  • Is it about peace 

The World’s wisdom vs. Kingdom wisdom

Conclusion: We all need help in our journey through this life. Whose counsel we seek will make all the difference. Make sure the one you listen to seeks to restore relationships - with both God and each other.

ICEBREAKER: What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

• What are ways that you intend to check yourself to make sure you are possessing the qualities necessary to be a wise counsel for others? What qualities do you seek to see in others before asking for advice? 

• Read James 1:5. How do you think this relates to the truths about counseling?

• Satan is constantly trying to pull us farther away from God, especially when we’re on fire for Him. How can we both acknowledge and fight against the temptation to see ourselves with pride in leadership positions?

• We see in the scriptures that the Lord sent prophets to try and bring people back to Him, but because they were caught up in the world, they missed out on what’s most important in life. Just like Rehoboam, the Israelites didn’t have their whole hearts devoted to God. Read 2 Chronicles 12:14. What are ways we can give our whole hearts over to Him to prevent this from happening in our own lives?

• What is one way this week that you can be intentional about growing in the qualities that the wise counselor’s had? Share one way to act on what you’ve expressed and come prepared to share next week!

Vemos en las Escrituras que el Señor envió profetas para intentar atraer a la gente de regreso a Él, pero debido a que estaban atrapados en el mundo, se perdieron lo más importante de la vida. Al igual que Roboam, los israelitas no tenían todo su corazón dedicado a Dios. Lee 2 Crónicas 12:14. ¿De qué maneras podemos entregarle todo nuestro corazón para evitar que esto suceda en nuestras vidas?
