Job Restoration Through Right Believing

I along with many of my colleagues, had been laid off due to a large-scale restructuring of the company that affected many employees globally.

Everyone, including our managers, was in shock because this came without warning. However, amidst the shock and panic, I strongly felt the Lord's peace within me. A sense of calm and joy also enveloped me during that time.

Later that day, I broke the news to my wife, and she was very understanding. Like me, she also felt God’s peace when I told her that I had been laid off. Together, we encouraged one another and held on to what Pastor Lawrence Lim had shared before: that God is always good, regardless of our circumstances, and that having a good opinion of God is important.

I started applying for jobs. I submitted applications for over 14 jobs but sensed that the working culture of those places were not suitable for me. However, a close brother-in-Christ approached me and told me about a job opening that he thought might be a good fit. So, I decided to apply. Throughout the application process, I felt the Lord’s favour over me, making the process feel light and easy. In the end, I was offered the job with a 55.53 per cent salary increment! I knew that this was the Lord was telling me that it was because of His unmerited favour that I got this job offer.

I have since started working in my new job where I have supportive colleagues. Work has also been restful and full of God’s favour.

Furthermore, I began this new job three months after being laid off. This meant that the four-month severance pay from my previous company became a two-month bonus for me.

Thank You, Jesus, for always being good! The Lord always has a good plan even when we cannot see it. All glory goes to the Lord!

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!
