Isaiah 11:2-3, “2And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; 3And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:”
Life is too complex to be alone without anyone giving you right counsel. In the journey of life, none of you will be stranded in Jesus’ name. When you look for help, help will locate in Jesus’ name. God is our counselor. He counsels us through His Spirit. Where there is no good counsel, the purposes are defeated. Proverbs 12:2, “A good [man] obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.” 
Only godly counsel can stand the test of time Psalms 60:17. Isaiah 19:11, “Surely the princes of Zoan [are] fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say ye unto Pharaoh, I [am] the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?” 
I see the counsel of God coming to pass in your life in the name of Jesus. Acts 5:38-39, “(5:38) And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:” 
Isaiah 44:24-26, “24Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I [am] the LORD that maketh all [things]; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise [men] backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 26That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:”
• God counsels us through His messengers. There are true and genuine messengers of God. God will send your messenger to you in Jesus’ name.
• God counsels through His word. The word of God is counsel of God. Hebrew 4:12, “For the word of God [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
You must be will filled with Holy Spirit in order to fulfill His counsel. Galatians 5:16, “[This] I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.”
Anything pertaining to life, you will not be stranded in Jesus’ name. John 6:5-6, “5When Jesus then lifted up [his] eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.” Isaiah 30:19-21, “19For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. 20And [though] the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: 21And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This [is] the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.”
