Category: CONNECT ME TO MY HELPER

“9 So David went, he and the six hundred men  who were with him, and came to the Brook Besor, where those stayed who were left behind. 

10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men;  for two hundred stayed behind, who were so  weary that they could not cross the Brook Besor.  

11 Then they found an Egyptian in the field, and  brought him to David; and they gave him bread  and he ate, and they let him drink water.

12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. So when he had eaten, his strength came back to him; for he had eaten no bread nor drunk water for three days and three nights.

13 Then David said to him, “To whom do you belong, and where are you from?” And he said, “I am a young man from Egypt, servant of an Amalekite; and my master left me behind, because three days ago I fell sick.

14 We made an invasion of the southern area of the Cherethites, in the territory which  belongs to Judah, and of the southern area of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.”

15 And David said to him, “Can you take me down to this troop?” So he said, “Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will take you down to this troop.”

One important area about we being helped is coming in contact with our helpers. This can only be done by God. God is the arranger of such union. The location and recognition of our helper is only know by God and He alone can connect us together. I pray that, the Lord will connect us to our helpers wherever they may be in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

David needed a helper to lead him to the troops who invaded his land. God gave him the go ahead to pursue after the invaders but he needed a helper to give him direction. David’s men saw an Egyptian who had eaten last three days and three night ago. They fed him and at the end of the day, he led them to the troops who had their families captured. God made the arrangement since three days before David found him. He made his master left him behind so he could help David locate their camp. Another thing to note in this story is, your helper might still be your enemy. He/she might have worked against you in the past but that doesn’t stop God from using them for you.

We have to be sensitive in order to locate our helper and we need the help of God to locate and recognise them when we come in contact with them. 

Father, we need your help to locate and recognise our helpers when we come in contact with them. Help us not to be distracted or be insensitive when we meet them, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
