“Destiny Helpers”…And Helpers of Destiny

Much of our “help” theology today seems to revolve around so-called “Destiny Helpers”: ostensibly rich, powerful individuals who can singlehandedly do something that will change our lives around forever.

We now have messages on “how to identify your Destiny Helper”, admonitions on how not to offend one’s destiny helper, HOT prayer points on making your destiny Helper appear, etc.

But actually, what many people term “Destiny Helper” should be more correctly called “Helper of Destiny”.

A “Helper of Destiny” is one whose act of generosity helps you fulfil your destiny. A “Destiny Helper” (in the context of this series) is one whose destiny it is to help you.

There’s a subtle but important difference between the two. The former is just been nice, the latter is actually fulfilling their own destiny. If you’re David, the former is Jonathan – someone who simply loves you and will do anything to help you become king; and the latter will be Samuel – someone who will not sit down until they make you king because that is their divine assignment.

You may need to be nice and friendly to a “Helper of Destiny” (Jonathan), but your countenance and friendliness is of no importance to a “Destiny Helper” (Samuel), because what is moving them to help you is beyond you!

A “Helper of Destiny” will help you at their convenience; a “Destiny Helper’s” prosperity is tied to their helping you.

When we know this distinction, we’ll spend less time praying to be in the favour of the former, and pray to meet the latter.

AMEN.

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
