Topic: Helpers of Destiny
Text: Isaiah 41:10-13
What is destiny? Destiny simply means the plan of God for your life, the purpose for which He created you.
God never creates anyone without a purpose, Jeremiah 1:4-5.
God is a master planner, He is an architect, before He builds at all, He draws the plan, before He creates you, He draw the plan, Romans 9:17, Luke 1:13-17.
You are not in the world by accident, the plan of God for your life is for a purpose. Different things can happens to a man's destiny. Psalm 33:11, Psalm 115:3, God is sovereign,
He does as He pleases, and man can decide what what he want and what he doesn't want, Ezekiel 33:13-16. The sovereignty of God and the free will of man can affect destiny.
Several things can affect the destiny of a man;
1. Destiny can be aborted, Genesis 4:1-8, 1 Samuel 15:22-28, Acts 1:15-20
2. Destiny can be destroyed, 1 Samuel 31:6
3. Destiny can be truncated, it can be cut short, 1 Samuel 2:13
4. Destiny can be redeemed. You lost it and you got it back. Somebody help you to get it back, Mark 5:1-20
5. Destiny can be restored,
6 Destiny can be reversed, it can be reversed positively Genesis 49:1-7, Numbers 3:5-13
7. Destiny can be helped. One classical example, 2 Kings 5:1-14
When God want to help your destiny, He can use your enemy, When God want to help your destiny, He can use your relative, when God want to help your destiny, He can use your friend, when God want to help your destiny, He can use a man of God, when God wants to help your destiny, He can use servant, behind all of these, was God Himself.
In the entire story of Naaman, the one who help Naaman most was Naaman himself. He decided to do what he was asked to do. God is ready to help your destiny but the question is, will you help your own destiny.
If Naaman had refused to come down and wash, the effort of his maid, wife, king, Elisha, servant will be nothing. Will you help your own destiny tonight?
If you are still living in sin and yet to surrender to the Lord, Jesus Christ, you better go to Jesus now so that He can reshape your destiny
Section B
1. God can use your relatives to help your Destiny: Exodus 2:1-3, Exodus 2:4-9. Moses mother started to help moses destiny, the sister continued. Genesis 27:26-23, the father of Jacob poured blessings upon blessings upon him.
Your mother can help, sister, father and brothers can help your destiny
Prayer: Father, you are the father of all fathers, command the blessing upon me today
2. When God want to help your destiny, He can used friends.
Example, Jonathan vs David, 1 Samuel 20:1-end, Jonathan helped the destiny of David. Proverbs 18:24; there are friends that stick closer than relatives, Proverbs 27:10.
Keep on making friends, you never can tell which one will help your destiny.
Prayer: Father, please put my friends at a position where they will be able to help me.
3. God can use servant. Ordinary servant can help your destiny. In the case of Naaman, it was his servant that started the journey. Genesis 41:1-44, it was a servant of pharaoh that God used to pick Joseph to become a prime minister. Genesis 50:19-20,
The destiny of Joseph was to preserve the whole world. Be careful how you treat your housemaid, house help,
Prayer: Father, from sources I don't expect, send help to me Lord.
4. Enemies; God can use your enemies to bless your destiny. Don't pray for your enemies to die. Some of them are suppose to help your destiny. 1 Samuel 1:1-16
Prophesy: The Lord said there is a student here tonight, up till now you are still on average, the Lord said from now on, you will continue to shine
Prophesy: The Lord said, you have been fighting a private war, before the year end, you will win
The enemy can push you towards your destiny.
Prayer: Father, don't let my enemy die, let my enemy push me towards my destiny
5. God can use the servant of God to help your destiny, 1 Samuel 16:1-13
1 Kings 17:8:16, 2 Kings 4:8-17, 2 Kings 2:9:15 (It was Elijah God used to help the destiny of Elisha)
Prophesy: God has answered the prayer of someone here tonight. God said your breakthrough is coming but not from the direction, you expect.
Prayer: Father, even if it is fraction of the anointing on my father in the Lord, please give it to me tonight
6. God Himself can help your destiny.
Prophesy: The Lord ask me to tell someone, relax, I will put out the fire of the enemy
Daddy said there is someone here, a prominent source of shame will disappear in your life before the sun rises. Psalm 46:1, Psalm 121:1-2
If relative, friends, servants, man of God refuses to help you, God can help you and it settles the matter.
1 King 19:4-8, 2 Samuel 6:1-12
Decree: All those who are expecting your death, God will surprise them
Isaiah 41:1-20. When God want to help you, He does it in a special way. When relative or friends help you, they will take the glory but when God help you, there will be nobody to share the Glory. When God decide to help you, who can query him? None
Prayer: Father, helper of the helpless, help my destiny. Help me your self, Help my destiny
7. You must help yourself. Genesis 39:7-9, 2 Kings 4:1-7, Isaiah 1:19
Prophesy: The Lord said, there is someone here tonight, those who are plotting your destruction, shall fall asleep tonight
Prophesy: The Lord said, there is someone here tonight, before the end of the year, you are going to weep for Joy
Malachai 3:11, Deut 30:19, Jeremiah 29:11. You destiny is a good one but will you obey Him completely.
Prayer: Father, I will obey you all the way, please Lord, fulfil my destiny
Daddy said, He had healed 3 ,000 tonight
Is there anything you need from God, ask Him now.
