Message summary & scripture references
God desires us to seek counsel along our entrepreneurial journey. However, we need to avoid seeking counsel from ungodly, successful people. Receiving their counsel may lead to success, but it will cost you peace and lead you away from God. Although it is tempting to seek their counsel because they are so successful, we should avoid doing so. Listen to today’s message to learn more about this.

[22] Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established.
Proverbs 10:22 KJV
[22] The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Genesis 3:17 KJV
[17] And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Psalm 1:1-3 KJV
[1] Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. [3] And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Proverbs 23:1-3,6
[1] When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: [2] And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.

Matthew 6:23 KJV
[23] But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Proverbs 23:7-8 KJV
