How Destiny Helpers Sets You Apart From the Rest


1 Samuel 20: 1 – 4 NIV
David and Jonathan
“Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is trying to kill me?” “Never!” Jonathan replied. “You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn’t do anything, great or small, without letting me know. Why would he hide this from me? It isn’t so!” But David took an oath and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favour in your eyes, and he has said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.” Yet as surely as the LORD lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death.” Jonathan said to David, “Whatever you want me to do, I’ll do for you.”
We all need a destiny helper to set us apart from the rest of our peers. David had enemies, but one that stands out is King Saul.  
King Saul wanted his son to be the next king. Jonathan favoured David. They loved each other. Jonathan was shocked to hear of the king's plans to kill David. Jonathan would reveal the king's plans to David. Giving David an advantage of escaping death each time. 

I think everybody expected Jonathan to hate David because David would become the next king. Still, Jonathan never thought of David as an enemy but his friend. He confided in David.  Jonathan even went so far as to pray for David "May God be with you as He was with my father." Jonathan knew God had left King Saul. King Saul must have been so disappointed with Jonathan.  His heir to the throne and he even told Jonathan he was a disappointment. Favouring “the son of Jesse!”

I believe Jonathan was David's destiny helper, with the help of Jonathan, David's life was spared on many occasions.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I want to pray that You will release a destiny helper in my life and the lives of each person reading this blog. Please, Almighty God, raise up men and women that will exasperate the plans of the devil who is denying me and others of our crown, prophecy and testimonies. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen

Word for Today:

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

#never #destroyed

https://goo.gl/xK6bTg 2 Corinthians 4: 8-9AMP “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;” I realized that my emotions are something that can cause me to feel pressure and hedged in. My circumstances seem impossible and I feel that there is no way I am going to make it. Then it’s time to check what is going on in your personal life.  Are you getting enough sleep? Are you eating properly? Do you take a break from time to time? If I don’t get enough sleep it seems despair is knocking at my door, and I feel miserable. I just cannot move forward, I want to curl up and died. Just because I am tired and there seems to be no way out. Emotions have a way of controlling each one of us. I realized that I will never be destroyed because there is a way forward.  God gave me common sense an...
