For at that time day by day there came to David to help him, until it was a great host like the host of God ~ 1 Chronicles 12: 22.
Introduction
There are many subtle satanic conspiracies to keep you in a box from the day you were born till your sojourn here on earth is over. However, God has also mercifully put into the hands of some people all you will ever need to live happily here on earth.
In fact, God has positioned these people and some other elements of creation ahead of you to make your life’s assignments achievable. Just as He sent the wise men from the East to offer Jesus certain prophetic gifts, He has also sent these people to your life (Matthew 2:1-11). They are your “destiny helpers”, and all you need is to release them appropriately to work in your favour.
Your destiny helpers carry the responsibility to move you through your life’s stages of growth and development unto success and prominence, till your journey on earth is complete. This is the pattern God has set for all living beings, sinners and saints alike.
If you can undertake a discreet study of your life’s journey so far, you will discover that for every new level or open door you ever experienced, you met some people who played major and crucial roles to get you there.
No man was born to fail. God never intended for anyone to "settle down", as it were. He wants to take us from one dimension of glory to a higher one by the supernatural force of His blessings. We must leverage this to release destiny helpers today, and discover the "higher places" that God has prepared for us, in Christ Jesus.
The Importance of Helpers To Fulfilling Destiny
The notion of a manifest destiny has many components. Basically, God is our Very Present Helper (Hebrews 13:6). He can arrange situations and things to work for our greater good. But, He often uses men and women to accomplish this. He also sometimes uses non-human channels to bring us what we require.
It was the raven birds that brought bread and meat to Elijah. For Prophet Balaam, it was a speaking ass that saved him from the sword of death. However, commonly, God uses men to bring help our ways, even when they look apparently useless to us.
God used four lepers to deliver the whole of Samaria from famine. It was also men that God used to make David great. They came with different abilities to help him succeed in his life’s assignments.
Where there is no vision, the people perish (Proverbs 29:18)! But, it is equally true that where there are no people, visions also perish. You cannot fulfill your life’s mission alone; you need the contributions and support of others. But, don’t forget to make room for them to freely operate to work in your favour.
Your destiny is the assignment God has created you to achieve as a part of His overall plan for the world (Jeremiah 1:5). Releasing your destiny helpers is very essential to the fulfillment of your destiny. You can have all the requisite qualifications, yet it takes helpers of destiny to connect you to the right quarters.
Releasing Your Destiny Helpers
Today, many people are stranded in the various “basements” of life, struggling and struggling without a terminal date in view. Why? They simply misused their ladders as firewood by failing to recognize and release their destiny helpers appropriately.
Some of our destiny helpers include our parents, pastors, mentors, friends, siblings, spouses, disciples, children, mentees, and so on. Invisible angelic helpers are also available to all of us. They come to our aid when we least expect it, and they may disappear as soon as their work is done.
Meanwhile, invariably, destiny helpers characteristically wait for enabling environments conducive for their operations before they act in our favour.
Joseph was sent to Egypt by God ahead of His people, to preserve them from the impending famine and hardship that was to come upon their land. But, he passed through the crucibles of hurts, slavery and imprisonment! Until he was released, Israel couldn’t benefit from his gracious assignment (Psalm 105:17-21).
When your destiny helpers are released to work, your destiny is catapulted overnight. Big and unforgettable things begin to happen to you, even in small places. Remember the poor cripple man in Mark 2:1-12. He remained perfectly disabled, until four earnest helpers brought him to the small house where Jesus was at that time!
Basically, a destiny in divine order attracts all divine blessings. When your destiny is on track with God, things work well because God makes adequate provisions for you before the needs arise.
There is no shortage of helpers when your destiny is on track with God. As one helper is leaving, another is coming with even greater resources. When your destiny is in divine order, you are virtually guaranteed the good life. Even if the enemies attempt to slow you down while God is still building you up for the tasks ahead, they cannot stop you (1 John 4:4).
Furthermore, in life, everything is interconnected. When you make good things to happen for others, God will make better things to happen for you as well (Matthew 5:7). Being merciful provokes the release of your helpers of destiny.
Very importantly, when helpers wouldn’t help destinies, we should set to interrogate the situations: Are there certain allowed personality defects in our lives? Do we have stingy attitudes to others? Could there be some satanic dimensions to the ugly scenario?
Men and brethren, whatever it is, let’s plead the mercy of God today for divine connection with people that matter to our destinies. Let’s follow the leadings of faith and patience, and we will certainly experience the outstretched arms of God in the circumstances of our lives, in Jesus name (Hebrews 6:12). Amen. Happy Sunday!
