A God-Crafted Job Even In Difficult Times

My family relocated for over a year when my husband was posted overseas. This meant that I had to take a break from the company that I was working at. The company was gracious to grant me a sabbatical.

However, upon my return, I was informed that I would have to leave the company as my role was no longer available. I was given a monetary package even though I had not contributed to the company at all over the past year.

I had been in contact with a boss I had previously worked for who had just moved on to another company. When he heard that I was on the lookout for a new job, he started to work on crafting a position for me in his company. Over the subsequent months, he continually updated me on the progress.

I knew that these things take time, but I did not expect it to be so long. As the months passed, I started to question God, and doubts crept in my mind as to whether I the job would happen or not.

There were many around me that told me to start looking for other options, and not to expect too much since I’d been out of the workforce for a year, especially during this season where many are losing jobs. However, deep down inside of me, there was a still, small voice of assurance from the Lord to wait.

The breakthrough finally came just as the circuit breaker measures eased further, when my ex-boss called me and offered me the role he had crafted with me in mind. A great sense of God’s love came upon me, and I felt so favoured by the Lord. I did not have to go through any interviews for it, and it was also a double promotion with an increment that super exceeded my expectations! God restored my career in this Year of Time and Space!

This was truly God’s unmerited favour on me as I did not have to do anything at all. He knows the perfect timing, and even in this season, He has provided me a way!

One of my three prayer requests at the beginning of the year was to get pregnant. However, I was still breastfeeding my firstborn, and was having irregular periods. Hence, it was impossible for us to plan a conception.

In October, I bled for almost the whole month. I saw a doctor who said that because I was still breastfeeding, my hormones were going haywire, and I needed to stop breastfeeding to regulate my hormones and cycle.

When I asked about the chances of conceiving, she laughed and said that it was next to impossible. Again, she advised me to stop breastfeeding and if irregular bleeding persisted, I’d have to go on hormone replacement therapy.

I was crushed as I had wanted to breastfeed for as long as possible, and dreamt of nursing two children in tandem. Being a doctor myself, I knew that my gynaecologist was right. Nonetheless, I had to remind myself that God was sovereign and His ways are the high ways. He is above the ways of the world and He has the final say. One touch of Jesus’ cloak healed the lady with the issue of blood and so, I claimed similar supernatural healing and regulation of my cycle without having to stop breastfeeding or go on hormone replacement therapy, and believed that He would give me the desires of my heart.

I wanted to be bold about it, but my husband who attended the same consultation as me was unconvinced and told me to listen to the doctor. I surrendered the burden to Jesus. I told Him I was going to trust His healing and provision.

One day, I was blessed watching a worship service on Psalm 23 by Pastor Prince. I soaked in the Word and meditated on my Abba’s goodness and grace, believing that His goodness and mercy would hunt me down.

Later that same month, I conceived! It was a miracle! Even the doctor was surprised that I had conceived based on the blood test and scan results.

My father who is an obstetrician with over 30 years of experience was incredulous that I conceived after he read the doctor’s report. My doctor is one of the most renowned specialists in London. Her investigation findings and diagnosis were all accurate, but that same month, my God swooped in to restore my health, overanswering my prayers and surprising us with His provision.

On 24 July, my second child was born. I am grateful to be under Pastor Prince's ministry and guidance to right believing. All glory to Jesus.

I was retrenched when I was 32. Being a mother of two young children, I was at a loss as to what to do next. I would have negative thoughts such as being unemployable and that I would never find another role that I like.

It was not easy, but my husband continually encouraged me to listen to Pastor Prince’s sermons, feed on the Word, and go to church every Sunday. Through these, my faith was renewed every day.

One of the sermons that I heard which greatly impacted me was on the book of Esther. Pastor Prince preached that even though God’s name wasn’t mentioned in the book, He was working behind the scenes all the time.

Hearing that, I knew and believed that I could trust God for favour and a breakthrough in my career.

Within a month after hearing that sermon, I received a job offer with an 80 per cent increment from the previous job! It was a miracle to me as I did not expect it at all. All glory to Him!
