From Illiterate To Certified Public Accountant
I had multiple challenges when growing up. Not only did I live in poverty, but I also had to witness gang fights as I made my walks to school each day, and that instilled a deep fear and anxiety in me. Because of the undesirable environment I grew up in, my social and educational development were hindered and I could still hardly read or write even by the time I graduated from high school. In fact, no school accepted my application for further studies since I was basically illiterate at that time.
My mom used to take me to church. I knew God was real but I just didn’t have a relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ. It was in my early 20s when I surrendered my life to God and acknowledged Jesus as my Savior. From then on, I allowed the Holy Spirit to guide me daily.
As a result, I was able to attend a community school, went on to university later, and graduated at the top of my class. Shortly after, I attended graduate school, got a Master of Business Administration, and felt the Spirit prompt me to achieve the next level of education—a CPA (certified public accountant) qualification. At that time, the CPA tests were ranked the second hardest in the United States.
I have been a CPA for ten years now. I just wanted to share how God is truly amazing. To make a long story short, I didn’t realize that His grace, love, and righteousness were helping me all this time until I read your books, The Power of Right Believing and Destined To Reign. Now, feelings of fear, anxiety, and unworthiness that I had since my childhood years no longer rule my life.
Through your books, I have received the revelation that right believing leads to right living, and that has changed my life. I now start my mornings with worship music and Scripture reading. I practice receiving what has already been declared over my life through Jesus’ finished work on the cross, which is that I’m righteous, favored, loved, and forgiven every second of the day.
Today, I’m a business financial controller for the third largest oil company in the world and am responsible for over a billion dollars. This role of trust and high responsibility has been given to me because of God’s unmerited favor in my life. In fact, for the last three years, I have been nominated into the top ten percent of performers in the company—alongside individuals who went to the best schools, such as Harvard and Stanford.
Having daily quiet time with worship music has brought healing to my mind and body, and has helped me think and use my mind more efficiently. I believe this was how the Holy Spirit transformed me from being illiterate to working with individuals who went to the best schools. The Holy Spirit also taught me to read and write during my prayer time.
Thank you once again, Pastor Prince, for your resources. Now, I can share in this revelation that I’m loved and righteous in Christ.
