topic: EVERY GOOD COUNSEL In The Camp Of YOUR ENEMIES SHALL Be TURNED To FOOLISHNESS
We take our scriptures from the book of 2 Samuel 15:31-37, And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Lord, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness. And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head: Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me: But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests. Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear. So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem. hallelujah!

2 Samuel 17:1-14, Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night: And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only: And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace. And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel. Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith. And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou. And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time. For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people. Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom. And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men. Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person. So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one. Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there. And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the Lord had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the Lord might bring evil upon Absalom. hallelujah!

Isaiah 54:15, Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. hallelujah!

Scriptural summary and Meditation: Good counsels are words of wisdom that give adequate advice, direction and insight on how a matter can be handled in order to achieve a desired goal or result. Ahithophel was a wise man, specially known at that time as someone who used to give strategic, reliable, tactical and precise counsels capable of achieving the desired results with precision.

Unexpectedly, David heard that Ahithophel had joined the camp of his son Absalom, who was in rebellion against him.
Expectedly, David became afraid because of the nature, weight, effectiveness and efficacy of his counsels. He prayed that God should turn his counsel to foolishness. According to the Scripture in 2 Samuel 16:23, any advice that Ahithophel gave in those days was accepted as though it were the very word of God, both David and Absalom followed it.

Subsequently, King David planned with his trusted friend Hushai to go back to Jerusalem and join the camp of his son Absalom, so as to be able to counter the counsels of Ahithophel. The plan succeeded as his advice was successfully countered, the good and proficient counsel given by Ahithophel on how to track down and assassinate only king David. The good counsel was rejected by Absalom and all the Israelites. In 2 Samuel 17:14, the Scripture recorded that Absalom and all the Israelites said Hushai's advice was better than Ahithophel's. This happened because the Lord had decided to save the life of king David, so that disaster will happen to Absalom.

Before the end of this program, every counsel of Ahithophel in the camp of your enemies shall be turned to foolishness by the order of kind David. The Lord will appoint a helper with impeccable personality to assist, defend and save your life. Every conspiracy and counsel against your life shall be rejected, renounced and rendered a nullity, scattered and backfired. You are unkillable and unharmable. The Lord will intervene in your matter, preserve, protect and turn things around for your good, in the name of Jesus. Amen and Amen!

Brethren take up your Pray Effective Prayer Book #37.
PRAYER For Help In Time Of TROUBLE.
Lord, do not be angry and rebuke me! Do not punish me in your anger! I am worn out, O Lord, have pity on me! Give me strength, I am completely exhausted and my whole being is deeply troubled. How long will you wait to help me? Come and save me; Lord, in your mercy rescue me from death. In the world of death you are not remembered, no one can praise you there. I am worn out with grief, every night my bed is damp from my weeping, my pillow is soaked with tears I can hardly see, my eyes are so swollen from the weeping caused by my enemies.

Keep away from me, you evil men! The Lord hears my weeping; he listens to my cry for help and will answer my prayer. Therefore, as it is written in Micah 7:8, I declare "rejoice not against me, O mine enemy. When I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light unto me". Amen. My enemies will know the bitter shame of defeat, in sudden confusion they will be driven away in Jesus name. Amen.
