God Is the Wonderful Counselor

Two weeks ago, we read #1 Chronicles 21 at Morning Devotion, in which Satan stood up against Israel and moved David to number Israel, resulting in a great sin. God sent an angel to destroy Jerusalem, and the angel stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. David promptly confessed his sin, built an altar on the threshing floor and offered sacrifices, and the plague was stopped. Later, the temple of the Lord situated at the same threshing floor.

The enemy attacks us because we have weaknesses. However it’s completely amazing that God’s eternal plan can be fulfilled from this point and the temple would thus be established. God is truly the Wonderful Counselor! Apart from personal experiences, our church has also often known God as the Wonderful Counselor. In 2006, we were meeting at North Point Pier, the landlord asked us to move out in three months and we were at a loss. But then God guided us to find the Wealthy Garden in Tsuen Wan, where we established a central church. The enemy seemed to be attacking us, but God had prepared the best place for us.

In 2020, the whole earth was suffering during the global pandemic, but our media ministry has developed rapidly. I had always wanted to establish a media-based church to preach the gospel, share testimonies, and convey messages, but was unsuccessful. However, God had prepared everything for us, including talents and equipment. Weimin joined our co-worker team from Singapore, and we ordered the necessary equipment just in time. Our media ministry then blossomed during the pandemic. God turned all the adversities into blessings.

Recently, the church has faced online attacks, so we started the weekly #Fortress Prayer Meeting. Earlier this year, God reminded us through Psalm 46: “Be still, and know that I am God!” The scripture also says that the God of Jacob is our fortress. At the very moment, we started the Fortress Prayer Meeting under the guidance of God’s word and unexpectedly, it has brought a great revival. The passion in our brothers and sisters and co-workers to prayer has been ignited and God’s presence has come so real upon us! Everyone is now eagerly anticipating encountering God here, to be empowered in life and connected with others. God is truly the Wonderful Counselor and has greatly revived us in the midst of difficulties!

Thank God for giving us the Savior, and His Name is called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, and the government and peace is upon His shoulder. We have experienced that and will continue to believe that all churches have great power in the Lord!■【2024.07.28】
