Having great potentials is never enough. Thousands of people died with their great talents and gifts, unnoticed, undiscovered, and uncelebrated because they lacked destiny connectors.
There comes a time in one’s life that all what his or her destiny needs is just a right connection. Someone once said, “the distance between where you are right now, and where you desire to be is not in kilometers, but in heads.” That is, between you and your healing, prosperity, fame, promotion, achievement, enthronement, etc., are people, and the earlier you locate them, the better for you.
Amos 7:5 says,
“Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee by WHOM shall Jacob ARISE? …” (KJV,emphasis added).
From the scripture above, we could see that Jacob needed someone to arise. He could not do the raising by himself. This further reinforces the fact that, the recommendation, advice, information, introduction, assistance, favour, mentoring, etc., your destiny needs to soar are in people.
For Naaman, the leprous Syrian Army General, it was that little slave girl’s advice:
“ Now bands of raiders from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.” (2 Kings 5:2-3, NIV).
Naaman may have died a leper, if not for the little girl that had the information about the solution to his problem.
For Joseph, it was Pharaoh chief cup-bearer:
“ In the morning his mind was troubled, so he sent for all the magicians and wise men of Egypt. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him. Then the chief cup-bearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I am reminded of my shortcomings. Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard. Each of us had a dream the same night, and each dream had a meaning of its own. Now a young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. We told him our dreams, and he interpreted them for us, giving each man the interpretation of his dream. And things turned out exactly as he interpreted them to us: I was restored to my position, and the other man was impaled.” So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh.” (Gen. 41:8-14, NIV).
How could Pharaoh have known that a man like Joseph exist, if not for his chief cup-bearer? And how could he have become a prime minister in Egypt, if he had not met Pharaoh?
For David, it was that anonymous servant of King Saul:
“So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me. One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him. Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.” (1 Sam. 16:17-19, NIV).
Even with David’s great skills and competences, he was still living in obscurity until someone recommended him at the right place and time.
For Elisha, it was Elijah the Tishbite:
“So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw his cloak around him.” (1 Kings 19:19, NIV).
Elisha would have died an unknown farmer, if his path and that of Elijah had not crossed.
For that Shunammite woman, it was Elisha:
“What can be done for her?” Elisha asked. Gehazi said, “She has no son, and her husband is old. Then Elisha said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. “About this time next year,” Elisha said, “you will hold a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she objected. “Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant! But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.” (1Kings 4:14-17, NIV).
This woman may have died without a child, if not for that encounter with Elijah.
For the Ethiopian eunuch, it was Philip:
“The Spirit told Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked. “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him…Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus. ” (Acts 8:28-35, NIV)
If the Ethiopian eunuch had not met Philip, he may not have been saved. And through this man the gospel of our Lord got to Ethiopia in Africa.

How Can You Connect With Your Destiny Connectors
1. Be nice to people: so far you don’t know who God is going to use as your destiny connector, it is wise to be nice to everybody you meet. The Bible says, “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” (Heb.13:2, NIV). If the household of Naaman was unkind to that little slave girl, do you think she will empathize with them regarding Naaman’s sickness? What of if the Shunammite woman had not entertained Elisha the “stranger”? Note this fact, when God is ready to help a man or woman, he sends the right people in his or her way. Be careful how you treat people. Who knows, they might just be your destiny connector.
2. Avoid Pride: pride repels God and man. “Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.” (Prov. 16:5, KJV). Pride can chase away your destiny connectors. Pride would have hindered Naaman from receiving his healing, if not for the persuasion of his servants, ” But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went off in a rage. Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!”So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.” (2 Kings 5:11-14,NIV). Pride can make people hide useful information from you. Learn to be humble, it attracts destiny connectors.
3. Help people solve their problems: if you want to connect with your destiny connectors, you have to be compassionate. Never walk away from anybody in trouble or problems, rather try and see how you can help them. As you help people solve their problems. They are most likely to speak about you whenever somebody has such problems. And such recommendation may be an answer to your prayers. If Joseph had ignored the problem of Pharaoh’s chief butler, he would have missed his destiny connector. Also, if you help people, you will never lack helper yourself. Jesus said in Matthew 5:7, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” (NASB).
4. Pray to God to send them to you: you can ask to God to send you the right destiny connectors. He has promised to give you what you ask in prayers (see Mat. 7:7).
If you desire destiny connectors, pray these following prayers:
1. O Lord send me destiny connectors in Jesus name.
