THE HOLY SPIRIT IS OUR GOD GIVEN HELPER: STOP THAT CONCEPT OF SEEING MAN AND MAKING MAN – AS YOUR ACCLAIMED “DESTINY HELPER”!
“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very PRESENT HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1
I believe that God uses people at various times in the past and present to fulfill His PURPOSE, and will still use people of all sorts to assist us in fulfilling His PURPOSE in order to ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM CAUSES and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay. But to THINK or ATTRIBUTE that a CERTAIN individual or groups of people are to be seen or owned personally as your “HELPER” or in the words of current atmosphere in use “DESTINY HELPER” is unscriptural. Much more to be praying that such person or people will be RESTLESS, STRESSFUL, WITHOUT PEACE, WITHOUT SLEEP AND SUCH LIKES until such or they help you is not only unscriptural but very worrisome indeed of such concept or acts of PRAYERS to God in the name of Jesus. For there’s no scriptural basis for such unprecedented behavioural state, neither is it mentioned in anywhere that man has become our ANSWERS to God’s own PURPOSE in and about our life in Christ Jesus BLESSEDNESS. And such actions, concepts and behavioural mindset of owning or attributing an individual or people as our HELPERS, will not lead any in Christ Jesus to fulfil DIVINELY approved PURPOSES in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; but may satisfy the APPLAUD of men for self-gratifications, oppression and victimisation of an individual or people who refuses such inclination.
Firstly, the Holy Writ of Ephesians 1:3, thus indicates that each Born Again child of God is BLESSED in grace potentially – meaning EMPOWERED to Succeed, to Triumph, to be Victorious, to BECOME, to Thrive, to Create, Innovate and Explore; and to be More Than Conquerors and to be an Overcomer and such likes.
Secondly, the Holy Writ of Ephesians 1:5 and 11 thus indicates that each of us and together, who are born of God are already predestinated to become in God whatever we desired in PURPOSE to be in Him according to His will in us – 1 John 5:14-15. And Romans 8:28-30 then amplifiers that as PREDESTINATED people of God, all things have been DESIGNED of God to work together for our good and goodness because we LOVE the Lord God; and God have justified us, chosen us, predestined us and glorified us in Christ Jesus stead. And if we ARE what the scriptures says we are, how come people are still saying they are either SEARCHING for their destiny or PURSUING their destiny. And as such somebody must be RESPONSIBLE and be held ACCOUNTABLE to be their DESTINY HELPER or the HELPER to make them fulfil purpose or purposes. I have began to worry for some Christians in certain quarters whom I have seen making enemy out of people by the kind of prayers they are making, because they have assumed that they have not been helped or are not receiving helping hands to fulfill their acclaimed DESTINY, which means their labelled DESTINY HELPER is undermining them and should be cursed or maimed for not fulfiling their desired obligations or intended goals.
Someone I thought should know better sent me this message that got me wondering what has happened to the Church or is happening to Church today, and in certain quarters. The message received is this:
“There are no GREAT men, only HELPED men . . . Whatever stands between you and HELPERS be removed now . . . May your HELPER be RESTLESS today until they HELP you in Jesus Name”
I have tried to remove the name of the originator for conscience sake, knowing he’s someone notable in places and a positioned person in the body of Christ; this is to safeguard DECENCY in the Body of Christ sacred Ministry for which I am called to share and partake, and of course, truly believe God is building. Honestly I was shocked though but not surprised, because I have seen lots of such likes acts of PRAYERS going on in some certain quarters for a while now, which is very disturbing and lots are already questioning.
Am emboldened to say that such line of PRAYER or PRAYERS are unwarranted and it’s unscriptural and must not be a part of the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus acts of PRAYERS by any means. As New Creation, we ARE REDEEMED, CALLED, CHOSEN, PREDESTINED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED by God in His FOREKNOWLEDGED plan in Christ Jesus as written in Romans 8:28-30. The Scripture of Ephesians 1:1-12, thus indicates that God has BLESSED us, CHOSEN us, ACCEPTED us, PREDESTINED or PREDESTINATED us, in Him to fulfill PURPOSE. And to be BLESSED therefore means to be EMPOWERED to succeed, thrive, triumph, more than conquerors, to become and to be an overcomer and a victor in Christ Jesus. It’s not only that we have been BLESSED, but have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME in LIFE and GODLINESS (Godly Living) in Christ Jesus stead.
And when you know that God have BLESSED you and PREDESTINATED you in Christ Jesus to SUCCEED having CHOSEN you, you need not think that any man can HELP or be your sole HELPER personified, to make you BE or BECOME what God have MADE you to be in Him in Christ Jesus stead.
God will use people to fullfil PURPOSE in our life surely. And we don’t owe or own such people to name them DESTINY HELPERS to go PRAYING that they should be RESTLESS until they come and help you. For you are your own destiny, PREDESTINED of God to become in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. It thus means, if God MADE you as said, only Him and Him alone, can HELP you or be your HELPER in fulfiling His PURPOSE in your life in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. No man is to be stationed or be defined or acclaimed or looked up to in such regards. It’s a deception of the Enemy and Cohorts to limit us and hinder us of the helping hand of God.
Therefore, let us walk as obedient children and as Christ Ambassador’s, respecting the supply that God our HELP and HELPER will generate by Himself through men to make us fulfil His will – PURPOSE- in our Life and Godly Living. It will stop all the discord, schism, acrimony and the enmity that have generated overtime as Individuals or the Churches of Christ in doing some ridiculous acts of prayers to possess people as our inheritance in the name of “HELPERS” or “DESTINY HELPERS”.
I pray God gives you Wisdom – knowledge and understanding – in the light of the Scriptures. I pray you live to fulfil PURPOSE by God in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

Selah” Psalms 46:1-3.
“Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our INFIRMITIES (Limitations, Failures, Shortfalls, Inadequacies etc): for we know not WHAT we should pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself MAKETH intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that SEARCHETH the HEARTS knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the WILL of God” Romans 8:26-27.

“WOE to them that go DOWN to Egypt for HELP;and stay on HORSES, and trust in CHARIOTS, because they are MANY; and in HORSEMEN, because they are very STRONG; but they LOOK not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither SEEK the Lord! 2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and AGAINST the HELP of them that work iniquity. 3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their HORSES flesh, and not spirit. When the Lord shall STRETCH out his hand, both he that HELPETH shall fall, and he that is HOLPEN shall fall down, and they all shall FAIL together” Isaiah 31:1-3.
