In February 2014, I decided to apply for a new job. My plan was to resign only after I’d found a job. I sent multiple applications to various organizations but only secured two interviews. I was disappointed and began wondering if this was happening because God was out to punish me for my sins.

One day, I chanced upon two sermons by Pastor Prince titled, Why God Allows Delays and God’s Plan To Bless You, and I began to realize how wrong I was. In addition, I was reading 100 Days of Right Believing and I began to be freed from guilt and fear. I no longer struggled with negative emotions and found rest in Jesus’ finished work. I also meditated on Psalm 91:2, Psalm 23:1, Philippians 4:6–7, Matthew 7:7, John 14:27, Matthew 14:27, Psalm 46:10, and Hebrews 13:6.

In July 2014, I decided to take a leap of faith by leaving my company, trusting in God to get me the next job. I simply rested and left the matter to God, believing in His plans to bless me with the position I wanted.

After a week, I received a call for an interview. I thanked God and told Him that if this was where He wanted me to be, to let the door be opened and the interview be a success. The next day after the interview, I received a call asking me to attend a second interview. I rejoiced knowing all that if not for God’s plans and presence, this would not have happened. Within three days after the second interview, I was offered a short-term contract position and I accepted it with joy. Coincidentally, the day I got the job was the one hundredth day of my reading 100 Days of Right Believing! What amazing grace! Praise the Lord!

In the first week of joining, my manager informed me that I had to to accept a lower salary if I wanted to take up a permanent position with them. Just at that time, another organization that had also interviewed me called to ask if I would be keen to join them on a two-year contract. No further interviews were needed.

Thinking that a two-year contract offered better stability than a short-term contract, I informed them that I was keen and I gave my manager the heads-up that I would be leaving. I thought that there was no way the current organization would be able to offer me a longer-term contract or permanent position but I was wrong! The company I was with offered me a permanent position with no reduction in the salary! In fact, looking at the total package, I was paid more!

All this would not have happened within two weeks of me joining the company if not for God’s favor. I now realize that all that happened were part of His plans to bless me with a permanent position and a good pay cheque! This miracle truly showed me that nothing is impossible with God! We simply need to rest in His finished work and let His presence be manifested in our lives for that is when His glory shines forth!

Thank you, Pastor Prince, and your prayer team, for your teaching, guidance, and prayers.
