'Where no counsel is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.' Prov 11:14 Counsel is a very important aspect of building one's character but it is also very destructive to relationships. The human being is naturally defensive and they will try by all means to defend their position, thus blocking counsel from coming. I believe the first step to receiving and gaining from counsel is for the individual to admit they have a problem, tell someone their problem and seek advise. But we shld also be carefull who we seek what counsel from as you might be led astray by the wrong person. Therefore wise counsel will come from someone whom you have a relationship with or someone whose background you know eg a business consultant, a doctor or a lawyer u have not dealt with before but u have been referred to. Brethren, do not just seek counsel anywhere from anyone. Where counsel is coming wen u have not sought for it, take time to listern and understand, think about it then respond becoz u might pick 1 or 2 things that may help u, rather than being defensive on the basis that u r taking it as rebuke. I also believe that it is our duty as christians to counsel each other and not just seek counsel.
