THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD STANDS FOREVER

 The plans of the wicked shall be overturned because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: THE COUNSEL OF THE LORD STANDS FOREVER

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   Psalm 33:6–11 declares that “By the word of the Lord the heavens were made” (AMP), revealing that God governs the universe by the power of His spoken word. Creation itself stands as evidence that nothing exists or operates outside His authority. The same word that formed the stars also orders history, nations, and individual lives according to His eternal purpose.   

  Scripture affirms that “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation” (Psalm 33:11).

Because God is sovereign, no scheme devised by men can overturn His will. He brings “the counsel of the nations to nothing” and frustrates strategies that oppose His righteous purposes (Psalm 33:10).       Throughout Scripture, we see that human pride, political manipulation, and ungodly alliances ultimately fail when they stand against God’s plan (Proverbs 19:21; Job 42:2). Nothing surprises Him; nothing escapes His control.

     God’s word concerning the prosperity and restoration of His people is equally sure. Isaiah 55:10–11 assures us that just as rain accomplishes its purpose in the earth, God’s word will not return to Him void but will fulfill what He has spoken. This includes His promises of provision, fruitfulness, and peace for those who walk in obedience (Jeremiah 29:11; Deuteronomy 8:18).

Therefore, prayer is not about persuading God to align with human desires, but about aligning ourselves with His perfect will. Jesus taught us to pray, “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). When we submit to God’s counsel, we rest in confidence that His purposes will prevail, for “the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it?” (Isaiah 14:27).

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and alignment to His purpose .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overturn evil verdicts .
