In the Abundance of Counselors is Safety

In life you need an advisor. The higher you get in life, you need advisors. When one is at the top of their industry ... that's when you REALLY need a priest, a Biblical advisor. Even Pharaoh had advisors. He had many of them (sorcers, soothsayers, etc).

Kings (Businessmen, Entrepreneurs, Pro Athletes, Entertainers, Workers) without a vision become a Law unto themselves. A dangerous place to be in; A Law unto YOURSELF. 

The advisors are there to feed the kings with The Word so that the king's vision isn't lost and so that the king stays on track in their life. When you are off track, that's when you make the NEWS, get caught up in something and become a public spectacle (Tiger Woods). Successful kings submit to biblical advisors and do NOT succumb to the things; temptations or negative activities, because they utilize their advisors (A. C. Green). 

Biblical kings and their Advisors:
  • Abraham - Melchizedek 
  • Hezekiah - Isaiah 
  • Jehoshaphat - Micaiah
  • David - Nathan
David, with all of his power did not place Nathan in jail. He received the correction and IMMEDIATELY repented and went before God.
  • Elijah - Elisha
The higher up we get the more humble we need to be and the more we need a Biblical/Godly advisor. 

Otherwise, you become a Law unto yourself.
