Counsel is the right word spoken as a guide in a given situation. Counselling is a mutual effort put in place to reduce or manage or put an end to an existing challenge.
“If you have good counsel, you are a king”, my foster mum will always say. And honestly, the word of God makes it true Where there is no counsel, the people fall; But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety, Proverbs 11:14.
