BE MY HELP!
An event happened recently
that made me remember an email I received some years ago from an
older friend. The title was
“PRAYER FOR DESTINY HELPERS” and it had a list of prayer points I had never
thought of prior to that time and they were quite informative
& compelling
prayer points.
Early in the year, A
colleague and I went to visit a a former colleague who
was bereaved, on our way
out we saw a lady returning from the holiday and
she had 3 big bags, (the largest size Ghana must go bag, and
two Large bags) including her hand bag and her son
walking beside her. I could see she was tired and burdened by
the number of bags she had to carry to her destination and watching over her
son as they walked on the service lane
of a busy highway.
While she was hurrying with the
luggage with the little boy in front of her, she would go some distance and
stop for a rest. Then continue quickly to cover the distance ahead, in one of
those starts the luggage slipped under the little boy’s feet and he fell face
down on the road
. By standers and those selling their wares
went: aww awww…sorry o! “Madam Stop pushing him na!” and angrily she responded "I did
not push him!" Without looking at anyone, rather clutching unto the
straps of the bag as she waited for him to get
back up.
And in the hustle of rush hour everyone
heading their own way, she was just another site of a returning traveler. From
behind her I walked over with my colleague and asked where are you going? “she
answered” I picked one of the bags, my colleague pick the second and held her
son by the hand and she gave a beautiful smile revealing her pearly white teeth.
We helped her to where she was to take a bus
and we walked away not before she said so many Thank yous’.
The incident reminds me of
the number of times we have spent praying for a helper to come to our rescue on
that big issue, a connection, recommendation, give us a push and yet we don’t
realize we could be the helper someone else is praying for in their little
situation. While you are praying for a destiny helper to come soon, remember
you are the answer to someone’s prayer for a destiny helper.
So we could be or are answers to someone's prayer.

ReplyDelete"I saw the suffering and pain around me and I asked God.. Why don't you do something? Then He said I already did.. I created you!". Nice piece
ReplyDeleteHmm. Just hits home the fact that though things around us might be bleak, we still have somtin that God has placed in each one of us that can make a huge impact in someone's life.
