3. BIBLE EXHORTATION
Guidance and Counselling is a field that deals directly with people, their emotions, decisions, challenges, relationships, development and future.
Therefore, a Guidance and Counselling student needs more than academic knowledge.
You need wisdom.
You need patience.
You need discernment.
You need compassion.
You need excellent communication.
You need the ability to listen carefully.
You need emotional maturity.
You need professional ethics.
You need discretion.
Above all, you need divine direction.
Psalm 32:8 says:
“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.”
God is interested in directing your steps.
When you are uncertain about your academic path, seek God.
When you are making career decisions, seek God.
When you are choosing professional opportunities, seek God.
When you are dealing with difficult situations, seek God.
However, divine direction should work together with responsible preparation.
Pray and study.
Pray and research.
Pray and practice.
Pray and seek appropriate professional supervision.
God can give you wisdom while you diligently develop the knowledge and skills required for your profession.
You shall not be confused about your future.
You shall not be driven by pressure into wrong decisions.
You shall receive wisdom to know the right direction.
You shall become a competent, ethical, compassionate and effective counsellor.
4. PROPHETIC ILLUSTRATION
Imagine a traveller standing at a crossroads.
There are several roads ahead.
One looks attractive.
Another looks easy.
Another appears popular.
But the traveller does not know which road leads to the intended destination.
A reliable guide arrives and says:
“Follow this way.”
The traveller now has direction.
This illustrates the importance of divine guidance.
Guidance and Counselling students will encounter many decisions:
Which specialization should I pursue?
Which professional opportunity should I accept?
Which research topic should I choose?
Which direction should my career take?
Which people should I learn from?
Which opportunities should I pursue?
Which choices should I avoid?
God can provide wisdom and direction.
But divine direction does not eliminate responsibility.
You must pray.
You must study.
You must investigate.
You must seek appropriate counsel.
You must consider facts.
You must use wisdom.
As you do these things, may God order your steps.
You shall not walk blindly.
You shall not be controlled by confusion.
You shall not make destructive decisions through pressure.
You shall receive wisdom to recognize appropriate opportunities and avoid harmful ones.
The Lord shall direct your path and establish your academic and professional journey, in the name of Jesus, Amen.
5. BIBLE TEXTS
Psalm 32:8
“I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.”

6. BIBLE READING
PROVERBS 3:5–8
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”
This passage teaches an important principle for every Guidance and Counselling student:
Trust God, but do not abandon wisdom.
A counsellor must understand that people are complex.
Situations are sometimes complicated.
Decisions may have consequences.
Therefore, the student needs wisdom to listen, understand, analyze and respond appropriately.
God promises direction to those who acknowledge Him.
