TOPIC: He Always Preserves His Purpose (Rhapsody of Realities 19 May 2026)
And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness (2 Samuel 15:31).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:
In our previous study, we referenced how Absalom, David’s son, led a strong conspiracy against David, his father. Ahithophel was greatly revered as one who spoke from God, but he joined Absalom’s camp, strengthening the conspiracy against David even further. As a result, David prayed to the Lord to turn Ahithophel’s wisdom to foolishness.
But something remarkable followed David’s prayer. The Bible says David went up to the top of the mount where he worshipped God, and right there, Hushai the Archite came to meet him. God’s answer showed up in the form of a man, a strategic placement.
David immediately understood what that meant and what to do. He told Hushai to return to the city and present himself to Absalom as a servant, just as he had served him, David. The purpose was clear: Hushai would be positioned where he could counter and defeat the counsel of Ahithophel from within Absalom’s camp.
This is a striking picture of how God preserves His purpose. Even when satanic strategies rise through subtle counsellors, God has His own people, His own instruments of wisdom and righteousness who can frustrate and dismantle those plots.
Thus, if you’re a leader, it matters who’s in your cabinet or inner circle, those who have access and can influence your decisions. They must be those who stand as voices for righteousness and truth, those who’ll cause God’s purpose to prevail and keep prevailing in our world.
God, in His wisdom, always has His “Hushais” among the leaders of nations, men and women positioned by the Spirit to frustrate wicked counsel and ensure that the will of God is done. Always pray that the leaders recognise these men and women He has positioned strategically to help them preserve righteousness and advance His purpose in the nations. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, your wisdom and righteousness prevails in the nations as your children uphold the truth of the Gospel and establish righteousness around the world. Your will is done in the earth, and your dominion spreads unhindered, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
Proverbs 21:30 (KJV) There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
2 Samuel 15:31-34 (NKJV) Then someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O LORD, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!” [32] Now it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he worshiped God-there was Hushai the Archite coming to meet him with his robe torn and dust on his head. [33] David said to him, “If you go on with me, then you will become a burden to me. [34] But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, ‘I will be your servant, O king; as I was your father’s servant previously, so I will now also be your servant,’ then you may defeat the counsel of Ahithophel for me.
Job 5:12 (KJV) He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
