Blessed With A Better Paying Job While Resting In Jesus’ Finished Work
After working in a company for five and a half years, I was enjoying a good pay with a high position. However, I started to resent the way my colleagues were treated. I felt that although they were incompetent, they were given preferential treatment and had undeserved favour in the company. I also compared my pay with others. I became so dissatisfied, frustrated and cynical that I left the company.
In July 2009, I sent out my resumes and received quite a few job interviews for high level positions. Although things always looked positive, none of these opportunities materialised. I was frustrated, disappointed, angry and puzzled. By that time, I had been out of job for almost six months, much longer than I had expected.
Then, I heard Pastor Prince’s messages on restful increase and meditating on God’s Word and something changed in me. What blessed, wonderful, powerful messages! I started to feel less resentful and angry, and started to really meditate on resting in Jesus’ finished work. I believed even more deeply that I am loved by Jesus and entered into His rest. I remembered what Pastor Prince taught us and refused to allow my heart to be troubled or afraid. I meditated on the Word, confessed God’s promises and truths many times a day, anointed myself with oil daily and continued to tithe and make offerings to honour our heavenly Father.
Then, miracles began to happen. Within the span of a few days, I received five calls for job interviews, after a dry spell for about three months. For one of the jobs, the company expanded what was initially a junior position, with a 40 per cent pay cut from my previous job, to a senior position! The company was keen to interview me so I met up with the HR director and later, the CEO. I asked our Father for His wisdom, favour and good success. When I finished my interview with the CEO, the HR director made me a job offer on the spot with a prepared letter of employment! Praise Jesus! From a role which was prepared to pay me a 40 per cent pay cut, God turned it around to a 20 per cent pay raise!
What’s more, I found out that the company pays for my parking. And above all, my soul has prospered so much and I have true peace and joy which can only come by resting in Jesus. Restful increase is indeed the way to go, hallelujah!
