The Bible does not expressly mention destiny helpers. However, it contains tens of passages, where specific individuals helped others accomplish their life or ministerial goals. Let’s see a few examples. First, Naomi was Ruth’s destiny helper because of her advice and relationship with Boaz (Ruth 2). The builders who worked tenaciously for Nehemiah can be seen as helpers (Nehemiah 2). Even the disciples qualify as Jesus’s destiny helpers because they helped Him spread the gospel. In short, the concept of destiny helpers occurs in the Bible, though not explicitly mentioned.
Why do I need destiny helpers?
You need an army to do God’s work
While God calls us as individuals, His work requires a team. This team is what I am calling an army. Nehemiah had people who helped him rebuild the wall quickly. No mission can be achieved by a single individual. Even Jesus needed the disciples.
Destiny helpers accelerate your tasks and help you achieve your purpose–
There is no way Nehemiah would have built the wall all by himself; he needed a team. Destiny helpers accelerate your life because they are competent in their work.
Destiny helpers are important because they remain loyal–
We do not see Nehemiah’s men sabotaging the mission. Similarly, Gideon’s men fought with courage, dedication, and consistency.
How do I attract destiny helpers?
The truth is that only God, through His omniscience, knows who can assist us reach our destiny. However, we have a few steps to make this a reality.
We must accept the calling-
God can only send destiny connectors only if we are working to fulfill His mission. Gideon, David, Jesus, and Nehemiah all attracted helpers because they had already responded to God’s calling.
Treat everyone kindly–
We never know who exactly God will use to change our lives. As a result, we should be friendly to everyone we meet. David would perhaps have expected Jonathan to be on Saul’s side, but that was not the case. Even without the motivation to attract destiny helpers, we should be kind with others because it is part of conforming to the character of Christ.
Be patient with people-
Destiny helpers are not angels or specially created individuals, but people with character flaws that can be very annoying at times. You see, the same people who helped Nehemiah rebuild the wall were also the same ones who practiced usury, which annoyed him! So, you must be willing to be patient with people and accommodate their weaknesses AS LONG AS such weaknesses are not sabotaging the mission. Jesus tolerated a lot of spiritual and intellectual immaturity from His disciples.
Be available and helpful to others–
We often hinder our own destinies by being opportunists. When people help us, we fail to reciprocate. Opportunism is bad for your destiny.
Remain sensitive in the spirit-
There is something special about destiny helpers that we should notice if we examine them closely. They are sacrificial and tend to own a project. We should be keen enough to identify individuals who show commitment to our plans. That is how Gideon identified the 300 men.
A few things to note about destiny helpers
You cannot force anyone to be your destiny helper–
As long as God is in charge of your life and has an interest in your destiny, He chooses who becomes your destiny helper. Our interactions with these helpers determine if they remain or leave. If they leave, your life stagnates; if they remain, your life accelerates.
Destiny helpers do not remain forever-
Since your life will have many dimensions and go through phases, you will realize that some people will leave your life after a particular period. This is because your mission has phases, just like a house. Masons, interior designers, and painters do not work concurrently.
