DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E
THEME: WHEN THE STEPS OF YOUR HELPERS ARE ORDERED!
TEXT: [NKJV] JOHN 5:6
"When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"
There are situations in life where personal efforts, qualifications, connections and human strength may not be sufficient to produce the desired outcome. At such moments, God can orchestrate circumstances and order the steps of people whose involvement will become instrumental to your next level. The story of the man at the pool of Bethesda gives us a remarkable illustration of this truth. This man had been in his condition for thirty-eight years. He was surrounded by people, yet he lacked the assistance he desperately needed. Whenever the water was stirred, someone else would get ahead of him. His situation was not just a physical limitation; it was also a prolonged experience of helplessness and disappointment. However, something extraordinary happened on a particular day. Jesus showed up. Interestingly, the man did not have to find Jesus. Jesus found him! He did not have to negotiate his way into the presence of the One who could change his story. Divine arrangement brought the Saviour directly to his location.
This reveals an important dimension of divine help: When God orders the steps of your helpers, they will find their way to where you are, even when you do not have the capacity to reach where they are. There are people whose arrival in your life will mark the beginning of a new chapter. They may come with the information you need, the opportunity you have been praying for, the resources required for your next assignment, the recommendation that opens an important door, or the support that helps you overcome a longstanding limitation. However, the most important thing is that their steps must be ordered by God. Not everyone who comes into your life is assigned to facilitate your destiny. Therefore, you must learn to depend on God's leading rather than become desperate for human connections.
When your helpers are divinely positioned, you will not necessarily have to struggle to convince them to fulfil their God-ordained roles. God knows how to touch hearts, create opportunities and establish connections that align with His purposes. When God orders the steps of your helpers, distance will not be a barrier, your limitations will not be a disadvantage, and the duration of your waiting will not frustrate His purpose. The same God who brought Jesus to the pool of Bethesda is able to arrange divine encounters that will change your story. Therefore, keep trusting God, remain faithful to your assignment, follow His instructions and stay prepared for the opportunities He brings your way. Your next testimony may be connected to someone whose steps God is already ordering towards you.
PRAYER POINTS:
Father, I thank You for the revelation of Your Word.
Father, In the name of Jesus, order the steps of my divinely appointed helpers towards me.
Father, Connect me with the right people whose involvement will facilitate the fulfilment of Your purpose for my life.
Father, Let every divinely orchestrated encounter produce outstanding testimonies, in Jesus' name. Amen.
