Text: Mark 2:1-12.
” 1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days, and it was noised that he was in the house. 2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. 3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.“
It was the helpers of destiny that helped Blind Bartimeus get to Jesus. God can even use your enemy to take you to your place of destiny. If a man’s way pleases The Lord, He will make his enemies be at peace with him. In life every man needs helpers of destiny. They take it as their personal responsibility to carry you to your place of destiny. They will do anything to lift you to wherever you need to get to.
Man is designed to need help. The Ultimate Helper is God but He does often use men to lift us up. Every time we come to The House of The Lord, we are coming to ask for The Lord’s Help.
All your labor and toiling will never be sufficient to take you to your place of destiny, God would have to raise helpers of destiny to push you to your place of Destiny.
All through The Bible we see people moved by God to help His Elect. Esther needed Mordecai to get to the place of her destiny (Queen). Esther 6:1-3. Moses needed Bezaleel and Aholiab for the Sanctuary Building – And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart The Lord had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it Exod. 36:1-6. Despite David’s anointing, he still needed helpers of destiny to get to the Throne. 1 Chron. 12:1-2,21. Joseph as well needed the Butler to get his “resume” to the Palace.
Eccl. 9:11 – I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Our time and season are in His Hands and He will help connect us to our ordained helpers of destiny. The irony of life is that except The Lord help your helpers they would not be able to help you. We are not to look to man but to The Lord Who often uses men to help us. Prov. 16:1 – The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from The Lord.
What is Destiny? Destiny is what God has created you to be in life. It is God’s Divine Idea and Master Plan for your life. It is God’s Road Map and Blueprint for your life. In Christ Jesus, we have been ordained to be a success in the world. We were not redeemed to be a burden or disaster to the world but a light for men to see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven. We were recreated in Christ Jesus unto good works. Eph. 2:10. We are not an accident in life but a Blessing to our world. Jer. 1:5 – Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Who are Destiny Helpers? They are assigned to your life to add value to your life. They are natural agents of interventions. They are burden carriers. A Divine Purpose will suffer if there are no helpers of destiny that help you bring it to pass. Many people’s destinies have been aborted for lack of destiny helpers.
May The Lord continually raise helpers of Destiny for you in Jesus’ Name!
