THINK ON THESE THINGS
DESTINY T
Helper s
here are at least three critical parties necessary for success in life. The first of these is God. Whether you are aware of Him or not at this material time does not negate this spiritual reality. Without Him, we can do nothing of lasting significance. If you do not yet have God in your consciousness, open your mind to Him today. If you already are aware of Him as a Spirit Being, seek to cultivate and deepen that relationship. God is the most important person in your life. He controls the Universe. The second crucial party to your success is yourself. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Incidentally, that unshakeable Law of Progress is also true for you if you are a woman. Yes, you can smile. Life is good, no matter what it’s dealing to you at the moment. You need a right self-perception to become all God designed you to be. Your soul and mind must come into agreement with God about who you are. You are whoever God says you are. Really? Yes. Read the Bible daily and ask God’s Spirit to show you who you are. The third party to your ultimate success in life are a select group of persons we can refer to as ‘Helpers of Destiny.’ Destiny
Helpers are those people God programmes into your network, the ones who provide a helping hand on your journey to destiny and fulfilment. Every piece of good literature over the ages recognises their input. They are those helpers in the great stories of print and screen who help the hero or heroine reach their goal. God is so resourceful in this area that even when men, for one reason or the other, are slow to playing their roles as destiny helpers, He can deploy animals (yes, remember the Disney movies?), or wait for this, even your adversaries to help you. As you read this, why not take a moment to pray and reflect on getting the right alignment among these three critical success factors. Ask, ‘Am I out of sync in any area?’ If so, make adjustments from today. You could even say a prayer right now: ‘O God, connect me to my destiny helpers in Jesus’ name.’
