Whenever we hear of destiny helpers, our mind always go to our friends, well- wishers or those that love us. It never occurs to us that even our enemies can be our destiny helper.

The first destiny helper that Joseph had was his brethren. Though they hated him, they helped to set him in path of his greatness by selling him. It also took another enemy in the person of Potiphar’s wife to send him to prison where he met Pharaoh’s cupbearer.

If there is anybody that Hannah saw as a destiny helper, Peninah would never be one of them. All that Hannah needed for her Samuel to appear was a word from a prophet of God. It took Peninah to provoke her at the right place and at the right time. If not for the provocation of Peninah, she wouldn’t have gone at the altar to pray at the time she went.

Modecai was contented with being a gatekeeper even after his niece became the king’s wife. In his own wisdom, he charged Esther not to reveal her identity. It was Haman s hatred for Modecai and subsequent plot against the Jews that made the king to realize that Modecai was his in-law.

If Haman hath loved and treated Modecai well, the secret of the relationship with Esther might not have been revealed. That revelation elevated Modecai to take over Haman’s position.

Many us must have prayed for our destiny helpers to locate, but when God set us on the path for that prayer to be answered, we scatter everything. All because it did not come the way we expected.

Some friends may not tell you the truth when they are happy with you. If there is any bad thing you are doing, they will defend you. But any day you make them angry, they will tell you the bitter truth that may turn things around for you positively.

I was almost giving up on my writing career because of stress. My work kept me busy from morning till late in the night. I had to combine that with family and taking care of my little ones all alone. Until one day, someone was angry with me. He told me that I don’t normally complete my projects.

That statement didn’t go down well with me. but later I thought about it and discover that somehow the person was saying the truth. I had written songs but after a while I felt that I’m not a good singer so I abandoned it. I then made up my mind that by the grace of God, the books I’m writing will not be one of the abandoned projects.

Any one we came across have an impact to make in our lives. It’s either positive or negative. But we can still process the negative ones and bring out something good for ourselves. Let’s not be quick to conclude that somebody has nothing to offer to us. We can never really tell…

Let us pray!
