Seek God’s Advice.

Many times in our life we make plans and dicission to win or achive success in personal battle. battle of Spirit, battle of freedom from Bondage, battle of Finance. etc. and we impliment this plans and dicission in our life without the council of God, which in result turns our expected result into failure. and later on we blame God for our failure where as we never seeked his advice.
Proverbs 20:18 LEB
A plan will be established by advice, and with guidance make war.
Luke 14:31 LEB
Or what king, going out to engage another king in battle, does not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand.
Proverbs 24:6
For with wise guidance you shall make war for yourself, and victory is in an abundance of counsel.
First Kings 12:6–15
recounts the events following the death of King Solomon and the division of the Israelite kingdom. After Solomon's death, his son Rehoboam succeeded him as king. The people of Israel, represented by Jeroboam, approached Rehoboam and asked for relief from the heavy burdens and harsh labor imposed on them during Solomon's reign. Rehoboam sought advice from the elders who had served Solomon, and they advised him to respond favorably to the people's request, thereby winning their loyalty.
However, Rehoboam rejected the counsel of the elders and instead consulted with his younger advisors, who advised him to respond harshly, asserting his authority even more than his father did. Rehoboam followed this advice and announced to the people that he would increase their burdens.
This decision led to the rebellion of the northern tribes of Israel, led by Jeroboam, against Rehoboam's rule. Jeroboam became king of the newly formed northern kingdom of Israel, while Rehoboam retained control over the southern kingdom of Judah. Thus, the division of the kingdom of Israel into two separate entities, known as the United Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah, began.
Proverbs 1:24–33 (LEB)
Because I called out and you refused me,
I stretched out my hand, yet there is none who heeds.
You have ignored all my counsel,
and my reproof you are not willing to accept.
I will also laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when panic comes upon you.
When your panic comes like a storm,
and your calamity arrives like a whirlwind,
when distress and anguish come upon you,
then they will call me, but I will not answer;
they will seek me diligently but not find me.
Since they hated knowledge,
and did not choose the fear of Yahweh,
they were not willing to accept my counsel,
they despised all my reproof.
They shall eat from the fruit of their way,
and they shall be sated from their own schemes,
for the waywardness of the simple ones will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them.
Whoever listens to me will dwell in security
and rest securely from dread and disaster.”
Exodus 18:17–24
recounts the advice given by Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses, to Moses regarding the organization of the Israelites. In this passage, Jethro observes Moses spending all day judging the people's disputes, which he finds inefficient and burdensome. Jethro suggests that Moses appoint capable leaders to assist him in judging the people, delegating smaller matters to them while reserving the major issues for himself. This advice allows Moses to focus on more critical matters and prevents him from becoming overwhelmed.
