Received Multiple Career Blessings When She Rested In Him

Having graduated in 2009, I had to find a job amid the global economic meltdown. Almost everyone I spoke to advised me to lower my expectations and accept any reasonable job that came my way. But I kept encouraging myself with one sermon where Pastor Prince mentioned that God does not want to just bless us with a job, but a position in a company that we desire. Hence, I only applied for positions that I was interested in. To cut the story short, I was offered a position with a pay that was above my expectations. And I got the confirmation just in time for graduation!

In my new job, I was placed in a management trainee programme (MTP) with two rounds of postings to different departments. I submitted a list of preferred departments for my first department posting, and got none of my choices. I was a tad disappointed and concerned about being in a department that was not my area of expertise. However, I remembered proclaiming aloud, “Lord, I have no idea why I got into this department, but I know that it’s all in Your perfect plan, and something good is going to come out of this. As for my inexperience in this area of work, Jesus, if You’ve placed me here, I know Your wisdom will cause me to excel in every task that comes my way.” As it turned out, this posting was a blessing in disguise! My colleagues and bosses have been extremely willing and patient enough to show me the ropes, and I also found amazing favour with my superiors.

Barely two months after I started my MTP, my boss told me that he was sending me to the regional office in Kuala Lumpur (KL) for a week as they were shorthanded. I was extremely excited because management trainees don’t usually get to go on overseas business trips. But the Lord had prepared something even better. During a meeting the following week, my boss suddenly announced that he was going to extend my stay in KL to two months instead! I almost fell off my seat. A two-month business trip for a management trainee was an unprecedented arrangement in the company. There’s honestly no way my own efforts could have achieved something like this in a short span of two months.

Jesus really has a way of leaving me speechless when I see His love for me and rest in His peace.

God’s Favour In Career In Spite Of Economic Crisis

God is good, and with the benefit of hindsight, I have realised how my life has indeed been guided by God, and how everything does work out for the good of those who trust in Him.

I graduated with a law degree from the National University of Singapore in 2008. Before becoming full-fledged lawyers, law graduates have to undergo six months of pupillage in a law firm. The norm is to apply for placement while still in the third year of our studies.

When my friends and I applied for pupillage in 2007, the economy was doing well and most of us were keen to do our pupillage in one of the top four law firms here. I had received offers from one of the top four, as well as a smaller but well-established local law firm. Many students would, without much thought, accept the offer from the top firm because of its prestige and higher pay. However, I was hesitant. My father also encouraged me to pick the firm that I felt most comfortable working in.

Though I did not know it then, God’s hand was already guiding me and I chose to do my pupillage in the corporate department of the smaller firm. When the financial crisis hit, the corporate sector was badly affected, and many of my friends who did their pupillage in the corporate departments of the top firms were not given the opportunity to stay on after their pupillage had ended.

Nevertheless, God’s favour was on me in so many ways. Not only was I offered a permanent position in the smaller firm, but my boss also made me the offer several weeks before my pupillage ended, thus saving me from all that anxiety about my future.

I am very happy where I am, with superiors and colleagues who are kind, friendly and willing to teach. I cannot fully express my amazement that, despite all my unbelief and failings, the Lord still sticks around and continues to plan my future down to a T. I am so grateful to Him!

Husband Blessed With A Better-Paying Job Which He Enjoys

I am from Sarawak, Malaysia. I started listening to Pastor Prince’s sermons on God’s grace about a year ago. Now, I get to watch Pastor Prince on Daystar and also read his daily devotionals online.

Recently, my husband left his job. He met several acquaintances who told him about openings at different companies and he applied for them. I was reminded about God’s grace, so I shared with my husband to rely on God’s grace and love for him instead of putting his hopes in his acquaintances.

Within a month, God blessed my husband with a job which he enjoys. He is also receiving more than double his previous salary. My husband has favour with his new boss and was even promoted just weeks into his new job. Thank you, Jesus!

Free From Condemnation And Blessed With A Job

I had been actively looking for a job since getting laid off in January 2009. I went for many job interviews. I was even at a particular company for three rounds of interviews, but I did not receive any job offers. I was quite frustrated by my circumstances. Every day, I would listen to sermon CDs, partake of the Holy Communion, apply the anointing oil and make faith confessions, but there was still no breakthrough.

Recently, a friend lent me Pastor Prince’s DVD album, Condemnation Kills. After watching the DVDs, the Holy Spirit began to reveal to me areas in my life where I had allowed condemnation to creep in. I had believed that my prayers weren’t being answered because of my past mistakes.

I had heard that Jesus is the overpayment for all my sins, but that message had only remained in my head. This time, a revelation of the truth dropped into my heart. As I watched the sermons repeatedly, those negative thoughts and feelings of condemnation started to fall away. I know that my heavenly Abba is no longer angry with me, and that I must forgive myself and move on.

Soon after, I received a job offer from an overseas multinational corporation which gives me a 16 per cent pay increment compared to my previous job. The company made me this offer on the same day that I attended the interview. This is also the first time in my career that I will be getting a six-figure annual remuneration package. Praise the Lord!

Pastor Prince, please continue to preach the gospel of God’s amazing grace. I believe that there are many Christians all over the world who are suffering from self-condemnation and need to hear this message. Praise God for your ministry!
