Divine connections/ relationships are those God-breathed relationships that seemingly come out of nowhere and have the potential to radically impact your life - vital to walking in your prophetic destiny.

 

The reality is, we need each other. God has not called us to walk alone, and He will bring divine connections into our lives at strategic times.

 

Divine connections are scriptural and necessary to fulfilling your prophetic destiny. Part of your destiny is in someone else, and part of someone else’s destiny is in you.

 

“We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.” William James

 

THE BUTLER & THE SERVANT GIRL.

 

Joseph and the chief butler. 

 

Genesis 40:14

But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.

 

Genesis 41:14

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.

 

• Be a blessing to people as they will open doors for you…But remember me when it is well with you

• God places people in our live for such a time… to mention your name in place you cannot speak.

• We need people to open doors for us to the next level.

 

Naaman and the Syrian Servant girl.

 

2 Kings 5:2-3

And the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel. She waited on Naaman’s wife. Then she said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.”

 

• The slave girl gave Naaman the divine answer to his situations even though she was a slave!

• Sometimes we receive divine counsel from unexpected sources.

Elisha & Elijah.

 

1 Kings 19:19-21

So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him. And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.”

And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?”

So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.

 

2 Kings 2:1-2

And it came to pass, when the LORD was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.”

But Elisha said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they went down to Bethel.

 

2 Kings 2:9-10

And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?”

Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”

So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.”

 

• Elisha did not waste time to follow his calling but lay down everything to pursue & serve Elijah.

• Elisha was focused and relentless in his pursuit of the mantle.

• Matthew 10:41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

 

Prayer items:

• That we will be divinely connected with the mantle carriers, give us the wisdom to honour and finally receive the mantle.
