Today I will alert you on how to counsel the people in the church. <\/p>\n

We have observed that many are counseling in a mechanical way, thinking that they are being friendly and nice, but that is a mistake!
\n<\/p>\n

I also speak for myself, because I recognize that I too have counseled people in a bland and repetitive manner, with the usual words: “Be firm … God will honor you! Everything is possible! Do your part and God will do His, and blah, blah, blah. ”<\/p>\n

This type of counseling is done without direction, without strength, without the courage to awaken that person and make them change their life. It only shows that there is no focus.<\/p>\n

Many people stumble within the church, their lives never revolutionize and worse of all, God’s servants are not aware of it and aren\u2019t ready to go into the battlefield. This is very appealing to the devil; he rubs his hands with satisfaction because of this.<\/p>\n

In the last article I mentioned about the need to do God’s work with strategy, setting goals, and when it comes to counseling it\u2019s no different!<\/p>\n

Remember, my dear assistant, you were called to prepare strong people for your God. You were saved in order to save others! Analyze meticulously how you\u2019ve been counseling people. Ask yourself if there have been any results in the lives of those who have been counseled by you.<\/p>\n

When you counsel someone you must give yourself entirely on a deep level. Notice how Jesus treated the people\u2019s wounds: He went right to the point, to the root of the problem. He didn\u2019t beat around the bush or use meek words quite the contrary, He was direct and sincere.<\/p>\n

However, it should be clear that there needs to be a balance, because being up front doesn\u2019t mean being brutal, rude, or harsh with the people.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s cause chaos in hell! One of the best ways to do this is by investing on the way you\u2019re counseling people. But, don\u2019t forget that you need to be in a good relationship with God.<\/p>\n

Now, I will leave here some tips, which from experience may be useful:<\/p>\n

LISTEN: Learn to listen, because it is one of the main things you need to do in order to know how to counsel someone. Do not see the superficial problem, but rather look for the root, so that no scars remain in their lives.
\nSpend QUALITY time: If you’re not willing to listen, invest your time, then you won\u2019t be able to counsel someone. The correct counseling can make all the difference in someone’s life, but that doesn\u2019t happen when you are hasty and careless.
\nBE UPFRONT: You may neither have another chance to help that person, tell them the truth so they can be set free.<\/p>\n
