THE HOLY SPIRIT IS OUR GOD-GIVEN HELPER

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS OUR GOD-GIVEN HELPER: STOP THAT CONCEPT OF LOOKING TO MAN AND MAKING MAN YOUR ACCLAIMED “DESTINY HELPER”! 

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very PRESENT HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1 

I know and believe that God uses people at various times, in the past and present, to fulfil His PURPOSE. And He will still use people of all kinds to assist us as His children in fulfilling His PURPOSE for us, in order to ADVANCE HIS KINGDOM CAUSES and to keep the ENEMY and his COHORTS at bay. 

And in all the use of people, Father God, in Christ Jesus and empowered by the Holy Spirit, remains the primary and only SOURCE and HELPER of Believers in God, in Christ Jesus. 

Anything contrary to this is man-made, make-believe and idolatry. 

And for anyone to THINK or ATTRIBUTE that a CERTAIN individual or group of people are to be seen or to be owned personally as your “HELPER”, or in the words of the current atmosphere in use “DESTINY HELPER”, is unscriptural. 

Much more and worse, for someone to be praying that such person or people considered to be their HELPERS should be RESTLESS, STRESSFUL, WITHOUT PEACE, WITHOUT SLEEP and the like, until such a person or people help them; that is not only unscriptural, but very worrisome indeed — such a concept or acts of PRAYERS to God in the name of Jesus. 

Any of the above-mentioned dimensions and such like behavioural expectations breed the spirit of ENTITLEMENT, and that is unscriptural in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus. 

Such exposure to entitlement makes the individual gullible, causes them to live in falsehood, to live under fate indoctrination, puppet religion, religiosity, perversion, distortion and the like. 

I make bold to challenge anyone, and I also dare to say to anyone now, that there is no SCRIPTURAL basis for such an unprecedented behavioural state. Neither is it mentioned anywhere that man has BECOME our ANSWER to God’s own PURPOSE in and about our life, in Christ Jesus’ BLESSEDNESS. 

And that such actions, concepts and behavioural mindsets of owning or attributing an individual or people as our HELPERS, will not LEAD anyone in Christ Jesus to fulfil DIVINELY approved PURPOSES in their path of LIFE and GODLY LIVING. But it may however satisfy the APPLAUD and HYPE of men for self-gratification, oppression and victimisation of an individual or people who refuse such inclinations. 

HEREIN ARE A FEW REASONS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: 

Firstly, the Holy Writ in Ephesians 1:3 indicates that every Born Again child of God is unconditionally BLESSED in grace — 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 Overcomers and the like. 

Secondly, the Holy Writ in Ephesians 1:5 and 11 indicates that each of us, and all of us together, who are born of God are already PREDESTINED to become in God whatever we desire in PURPOSE to be in Him, according to His WILL concerning us — 1 John 5:14-15. 

And Romans 8:28-30 further amplifies that as PREDESTINED people of God, all things have been DESIGNED by God to work together for our good and goodness because we LOVE the Lord God. And God has JUSTIFIED us, CHOSEN us, FOREKNOWN us, PREDESTINED us and GLORIFIED us in Christ Jesus. 

And if we ARE what the Scriptures say we ARE in God, in Christ Jesus, how then can people still say they are either SEARCHING for their destiny or PURSUING their destiny in Christ Jesus? 

And as such, somebody must be RESPONSIBLE and be held ACCOUNTABLE to be their DESTINY HELPER, or the HELPER to make them FULFIL their God-given and assigned PURPOSE or PURPOSES. 

I have begun to worry for some Christians in certain quarters whom I have seen making ENEMIES and ENMITY 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 fulfil their acclaimed DESTINY. This means their labelled DESTINY HELPER is undermining them and should be CURSED or MAIMED for not fulfilling 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 what is happening to some Church members today in certain quarters.  

 “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 is someone notable in places and a positioned person in the Body of Christ. This is to safeguard DECENCY in the Body of Christ’s sacred Ministry, for which I am called to share and partake, and of course, truly believe God is building. 

Honestly I was shocked, though not surprised, because I have seen lots of such like acts of PRAYERS going on in some certain quarters for a while now, which is very disturbing and many are already questioning it. 

I am emboldened to say that such line of PRAYER or PRAYERS are unwarranted and they are 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 FOREKNOWN plan in Christ Jesus, as written in Romans 8:28-30. 

The Scripture in Ephesians 1:1-12 thus indicates that God has BLESSED us, CHOSEN us, ACCEPTED us, PREDESTINED us, in Him to fulfil PURPOSE. 

And to be BLESSED therefore means to be EMPOWERED to succeed, thrive, triumph, to be more than conquerors, to become and to be an overcomer and a victor in Christ Jesus. 

It is not only that we have been BLESSED, but we have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME in LIFE and GODLINESS — Godly Living — in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

And when you know that God has 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 has MADE you to be in Him, in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

God will use people to fulfil PURPOSE in our life, surely. And we do not owe or own such people, to name them DESTINY HELPERS and 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 fulfilling His PURPOSE in your life in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus. 

No man is to be stationed or be defined, acclaimed or looked up to in such regards. It is a deception of the Enemy and his Cohorts to limit us and hinder us from the helping hand of God. 

Therefore, let us walk as obedient children and as Christ Ambassadors, 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. 

This will put an end to all discord, schism, acrimony and enmity that have built up over time among individuals and in the Churches of Christ, through some ridiculous acts of praying 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 every way, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very PRESENT HELP in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. 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. 

“For as MANY as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14. 

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will GUIDE you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will SHEW you things to come. 14 He shall GLORIFY me: for he shall RECEIVE of mine, and shall SHEW it unto you” John 16:13-14. 

“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. 

“Thus saith the Lord; CURSED be the man that TRUSTETH in man, and MAKETH FLESH HIS ARM, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like the HEATH in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 BLESSED is the man that TRUSTETH in the Lord, and whose HOPE the Lord is. 8 For he shall be as a tree PLANTED by the waters, and that SPREADETH out her roots by the river, and shall not see when HEAT cometh, but her leaf shall be GREEN; and shall not be CAREFUL in the year of DROUGHT, neither shall CEASE from YIELDING fruit” Jeremiah 17:5-8. 

“The Lord is my SHEPHERD; I shall not want. 2 He MAKETH me to lie down in green pastures: he LEADETH me beside the still waters . . .” Psalms 23:1-6. 

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30 

Further Scriptural Reading: Ephesians 1:1-12

SUMMARY 
The message teaches us to STOP LOOKING TO MAN AND CALLING HIM YOUR “DESTINY HELPER” — THE HOLY SPIRIT IS YOUR GOD-GIVEN HELPER. 

This TEACHING confronts the unscriptural practice of praying that people be made “RESTLESS” until they help you. It calls the Church back to truth: God alone, in Christ Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, is our SOURCE and HELPER. 

People may be used by God, but they are not to be owned, manipulated, idolised, or cursed in the name of “DESTINY HELPERS”. As NEW CREATIONS we are already BLESSED, CHOSEN, PREDESTINATED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED in Christ. Therefore, we must walk and be led by the Spirit, not by entitlement. 

KEY POINTS: 

1. GOD IS OUR TRUE AND PRESENT HELP 
   Our help does not come from the manipulation of men, but from God Himself. 
   Psalms 46:1 — God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very PRESENT HELP in trouble 
   Romans 8:26-27 — Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our INFIRMITIES… but the Spirit itself MAKETH intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered
2. THE “DESTINY HELPER” PRAYER CONCEPT IS UNSCRIPTURAL AND DANGEROUS
   Praying for people to be RESTLESS, STRESSED, or WITHOUT SLEEP until they help you breeds ENTITLEMENT, idolatry and enmity. It makes man the answer instead of God.
   Jeremiah 17:5-6 — CURSED be the man that TRUSTETH in man, and MAKETH FLESH HIS ARM, and whose heart departeth from the Lord
   Isaiah 31:1, 3 — WOE to them that go DOWN to Egypt for HELP… Now the Egyptians are men, and not God… both he that HELPETH shall fall, and he that is HOLPEN shall fall down
3. AS NEW CREATION YOU ARE ALREADY BLESSED AND PREDESTINATED
   You do not need to “search” for destiny. In Christ you have been EMPOWERED to succeed, triumph and fulfil PURPOSE.
   Ephesians 1:3 — Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ
   Ephesians 1:5, 11 — Having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself… being PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will
   Romans 8:28-30 — For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE… whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED
4. GOD MAY USE PEOPLE, BUT HE ALONE IS THE SOURCE
   People are vessels God uses, but they are not to be possessed, named, or cursed as “DESTINY HELPERS”. Trust must remain in God.
   John 16:13-14 — when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will GUIDE you into all truth… and he will SHEW you things to come
   Romans 8:14 — For as MANY as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God
5. ENTITLEMENT AND IDOLATRY HINDER GODLY LIVING
   Making man your “helper” leads to falsehood, puppet religion, discord, schism and victimisation. It shifts focus from God to man.
   Psalms 23:1 — The Lord is my SHEPHERD; I shall not want 

Call to Action 

1. RETURN YOUR TRUST TO GOD ALONE: Acknowledge THE HOLY SPIRIT as your God-given HELPER. Psalms 46:1 — God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very PRESENT HELP in trouble 
2. STOP THE “DESTINY HELPER” PRAYERS: Repent of prayers that bind, curse or manipulate people. Do not make flesh your arm. Jeremiah 17:7 — BLESSED is the man that TRUSTETH in the Lord, and whose HOPE the Lord is the Lord 
3. WALK IN YOUR PREDESTINATED IDENTITY: You are already BLESSED, CHOSEN and PREDESTINATED. Live from that place. Meditate on Ephesians 1:1-12 and Romans 8:28-30 
4. BE LED BY THE SPIRIT: Allow the Spirit to GUIDE you, INTERCEDE for you, and SHOW you things to come. John 16:13 — when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will GUIDE you into all truth 
5. HONOUR GOD’S SUPPLY THROUGH MEN, BUT DO NOT WORSHIP THE VESSEL: Respect the people God uses, but do not own them or make them your source. God will generate the help He wills, in His timing. 

Final Charge: Walk as obedient children and Christ Ambassadors. Let God be your HELP and HELPER. Cease from acts that create discord in the Body. Live to fulfil PURPOSE by God in every way, in Christ Jesus’ stead.
