Caption: Jesus the Counselor 

Isaiah 9:6 – NKJV – For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6 – NLT – For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6 – AMP – For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given; And the government shall be upon His shoulder, And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6 – GNB – A child is born to us! A son is given to us! And he will be our ruler. He will be called, “Wonderful Counsellor”, “Mighty God”, “Eternal Father”, “Prince of Peace”.

Isaiah 9:6 – ESV – For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6 – YOR – Nitori a bi ọmọ kan fun wa, a fi ọmọkunrin kan fun wa: ijọba yio si wà li ejika rẹ̀: a o si ma pe orukọ rẹ̀ ni Iyanu, Oludamọ̀ran, Ọlọrun Alagbara, Baba Aiyeraiye, Ọmọ-Alade Alafia

Key: Through the New Testament we could see that Jesus Ministry wasn’t just about healing and preaching, He sought the broken hearted, the lost, the rejected ( John 8:1-1, Matthew 11:28). But before Jesus the Counselor can interfere in our situation, we must be willing to surrender all to Him, and be humble and honest in confession by laying everything at His feet. Then can we get much more from Him and experience divine turnaround. He has been here before, He was also tempted; He knows all we go through and He is willing to offer advice and solutions to our problems.

Prayer Point: Dear Lord, help me to lay everything down and your feet. Walk with me and work through me in every situation I face. Amen.
