Prayer Request Fulfilled: Found A Job In An MNC After Two Layoffs

I work in the IT industry. In June 2022, I was made redundant because the company wasn't doing well. By God's grace, I landed another job a month later. But before the year ended, I was let go again as my role was outsourced. What a double whammy to be laid off twice in such a short time!

So, my 2022 didn't end so well. But I saw the opportunity to put my job expectations down as one of my three prayer requests for 2023, which is to get a position where I can be a blessing. Instead of letting grudges and condemnation consume me, I turned to the Lord for His direction.

God led me to take my job search restfully and showed me that it was a good opportunity for me to explore other areas like cybersecurity. My church friends also stood in faith with me and prayed for my job situation.

In March 2023, I was approached by a headhunter for a position in a multinational corporation (MNC). I went for the interview and prayed for wisdom, favour, and good success. I followed my dad's advice on looking up the company. I also felt the Lord tell me to enjoy myself at the interview.

Throughout the interview, I felt calm and answered the questions honestly and truthfully. At the end of it, I was shortlisted for the second interview. At the second interview, I felt a peace that surpassed all understanding. Later, I was informed that the company would be offering me a contract role. I believe this is a huge open door for me. My past few jobs were in small and midsize enterprises, and I'd been praying for bigger opportunities. Furthermore, this role also gives me time to learn how to fit into a big corporation.

Eventually, I was given an offer which was 30 per cent higher than what I expected and 65 per cent more than my last drawn salary! I was also given 18 days of annual leave and a mobile allowance. Besides that, I would also be covered by company insurance. I barely contained myself when I heard the news! I had NEVER gotten such an offer before. And do you know how kairos the call was? It was during my birthday month, right before all the birthday celebrations! It was my best birthday gift ever!

No words can express my gratitude and happiness on receiving this blessing. Thank You, Jesus!

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!
