Just as he was completing his studies at our academy, we made him an offer to join our team. However, he had a more lucrative offer and his counteroffer to our proposed was way out of budget. But somehow, he was led to join us at a time we had no clear direction on growth. We always knew it wasn’t ordinary but we understood that there’s always a mystery behind favor.
Under his empathetic tutelage, hundreds of graduates are maximizing their God-given potential across tech careers globally. The more success we experienced, the more our competitors and clients tried to poach him. However, he stood with us until he secured a scholarship to pursue his Master’s in the U.S. Exceptionally enough, it just happened to be in a discipline he had built solid expertise in from teaching over several years.
You see, many of us believe our destiny helpers will be a family member or friend who might randomly show up and give us a handout. So we go through life doing the bare minimum while calling God’s name at odd hours. But let me challenge you; what if your destiny helper has been within you the entire time? What if your destiny helper is the patience you exhibit during your time of sacrifice? What if your destiny helper lies in cleaning your clogged-up mindset?
There’s quite a fascinating story of a lady who always complained about the dirt she observed on her neighbor’s laundry. One morning, she woke up and saw that the neighbor’s laundry on the drying line was crystal clean this time around. In utter shock, she woke up her husband to share the gossip. He yawned widely and then responded, “Honey, I woke up earlier and cleaned our windows.” In truth, the majority of us are similar to the lady because we have cultivated the flawed belief that our destinies lie in the control of others. However, we have all been given the power to wipe away the misconceptions that stain the window to our thoughts. And fam, the cold truth is that your current definition of your destiny helper may be precisely what is stopping you from getting to the next level of our grace.
