We perish without revelation of God and fellowship of the Spirit with wisdom. Proverbs 29:18. David has Samuel, Joshua has Moses, and Elisha has Elijah.

Jesus taught,” Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. Matthew 18:19-20. We see most wrong decisions were made in life because of the lack of counsel. We do what we please for the lust of our eyes, our flesh and pride of life. 1 John 2:16.

Prayer: O Lord my God, lead me, guide me and teach me with thy Holy Spirit to know you more. Create a clean heart in me, that I may seek your face and worship you. Bring forth godly counsel, divine provisions and prayerful fellowship in my life. May I do all things with success and fruitfulness to glorify thy Name, and bring into the knowledge of Christ, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
