YOU CAN DECEIVE THE COUNSELLOR, BUT NOT GOD:

Heb 4:13 “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account”.

Ezek 14:2-3 “And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Son of man, these men have set up their IDOLS IN THEIR HEARTS, and put before them that which causes them to STUMBLE INTO INIQUITY. Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them?

As an experienced counsellor, I had met several people who came for counselling with hidden agendas. He has decided to divorce her because there is another woman waiting, but comes to me to inquire of what to do. He blames and condemned his wife just because he always wants to marry the other strange lady of which they have been committing adultery. 

Another example, a lady who needs the fruit of the womb came for counselling. I asked her if there is any medical report about her condition, she said no. However, the truth was she has committed five abortions and the last one led to the removal of her womb because of the drugs she took which damages it. Instead of her to tell me the truth, she lied and expects God to do a miracle. 

Also, a lady who got pregnant out of wedlock came to me and said. “Prophet Jabari, there is a living object moving in my belly. It’s an attack, please pray for me and cast it out”. In her heart, she said, “Since Jabari is anointed, if he cast it out, the pregnancy will be aborted”. The Bible says, "Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what PLEASES HIM." 1 John 3:21-22

When go for counselling, do you always tell the truth about your relationship and marital problems? Is your heart condemning you as you speak? God stated that all things are naked and opened before Him.

Ezek 14:6-8 “Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord GOD: "REPENT, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations. 7 For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who SEPARATES HIMSELF FROM ME and SETS UP HIS IDOLS in his heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, then COMES TO A PROPHET to INQUIRE of him concerning Me, I the LORD will answer him by Myself. 8 I will set My face AGAINST THAT MAN and make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people. Then you shall know that I am the LORD”. 

As the elders sat before Ezekiel, God informed him that those men had set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces.

These hypocritical elders came to the true God for answers while having another "evil or iniquity" in their hearts. God asked Ezekiel, should I let them inquire of Me at all? God was not obliged to answer them when they refused to acknowledge His sovereignty. So instead of giving these elders the information they desired, God instructed Ezekiel to provide them with the information they needed - God's attitude toward their idolatry.

To set the idol before “one's face" is also necessary to understood, in a spiritual sense, as relating to a thing which a man will not put out of his mind. ‎Since you have decided on what to do, why coming for counselling? If you have separated yourself from God, set the idol in your heart and not ready to repent and separate from that man, woman or anything that causes you to stumble into iniquity. Why do you come to seek counselling and prayers? 

A good example was a lady who came to me for counselling. She was in a relationship with an unbeliever and wants to know if the relationship is God’s will. When she was talking, I felt empty in my spirit. Then suddenly, God gave the answer. She has been fornicating with the man and presently, cohabiting with him. The man is a womanizer, smoker and has no desire for the things of God. The Lord said in Ezekiel, “I the LORD will answer him by Myself. I will set My face AGAINST THAT MAN (male or female) and make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of My people. Then you shall know that I am the LORD”.
