Missions through Counseling

Counseling is an unavoidable part of mission of the Church. Our mission is to heal the broken heart and set the prisoners of Christ free with the message of Gospel. Isaiah 9:6 tells “For unto us a child  is born, unto us a son  is given: and the government  shall be upon his shoulder: and his name  shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 14:16 shows the role of the holy spirit in our life. Jesus comforts his disciples telling them that he will ask the father and He will give them another counselor who will be with them forever.

Today when the world is changing, people are hurt everywhere and the enemy of God’s kingdom is deceiving people. The counseling has become a very secular business. People counsel those hurt and broken people with their marred counseling, which is human centered and only gives them temporary ways to avoid those pains and struggles. The word needs the firm foundation where they can stand and face the struggles of life knowing their chief end to glorify God, not the shaking ground which changes with the every single small storms of life. This is the ministry now the lord has given to us to reconcile and counsel people, when they are lost in the darkness of this world Christ calls us to be the light  in him and shine  for the people to see Him. Therefore, it is urgent to do the Missions through counseling.

Motherly Aspect of God the Father

The word mother conveys the same feeling of comfort, peace, love, compassion all around the earth without making any difference in regards to nation or culture. India is a country where the mother is given the equal respect as to god. There are many female goddesses whom people worship according to their interests i.e. goddess of wealth and goddess of power…etc.

The God of the Bible assures us that He will take care of his people more than a mother cares for her new born babies.  The Old Testament God is mentioned as the Father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5) as well as Isaiah 66:13 paints the most loving and caring picture of God as mother as it tells “As one whom his mother comforts so I will comfort you.”  Many women try to find a mother in God’s character and end up in a feminist theology. But we see that our God is sovereign, all sufficient , omniscient and omnipotent. We need not to look in Him a character for our security, in terms of in a protecting father or that of loving compassionate care of a mother for her children. But rather we need to know that God care and love us from his good pleasure and His love is complete as father as well as mother.
