Day 6: Daily Declarations of Success
Principle 6: Wise Counsel & Fellowship
Declare the Word
“I declare that I walk in wisdom because I surround myself with godly counsel and Spirit-filled fellowship. I am not isolated or deceived; I am sharpened, encouraged, and strengthened by the Body of Christ. Together, we grow, discern, and fulfill God’s purposes.”
Believe the Word
“Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors they are established.” — Proverbs 15:22 (NKJV)
Apply the Word
God never designed you to walk through life alone. From the beginning, He declared, “It is not good that man should be alone” (Genesis 2:18). Wise counsel and fellowship are not optional—they are vital for your spiritual health, clarity, and progress.
Proverbs 15:22 teaches us that when we isolate ourselves, our plans often collapse. But when we surround ourselves with godly, Spirit-led counsel, our plans are established. Wise counsel acts like guardrails that keep you from veering off into error. Fellowship strengthens you when you are weak, sharpens your discernment, and provides accountability to stay on course.
The New Testament church thrived because they devoted themselves to fellowship and shared life together (Acts 2:42–47). They prayed, broke bread, and encouraged one another daily. As a result, they multiplied and impacted the world in a single generation. This shows us that fellowship is not just a social activity—it is a spiritual force.
But not all counsel or fellowship is wise. The wrong voices can lead you astray. That’s why it’s essential to discern who speaks into your life. Surround yourself with those who are grounded in Scripture, filled with the Spirit, and committed to your growth in Christ. Remember Proverbs 13:20: “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed.”
Practically, apply this by identifying the voices in your life. Do you have mature believers who can speak truth, correction, and encouragement into your journey? If not, seek out a mentor, join a small group, or build deeper relationships with Spirit-filled friends. Likewise, commit to being that kind of voice for someone else. True fellowship is mutual—each person giving and receiving life.
Over time, walking with wise counsel and fellowship will not only protect you from deception but also accelerate your growth. As iron sharpens iron, you will find yourself becoming sharper, stronger, and more effective in fulfilling God’s purpose for your life.
