Secured New Job Three Weeks After Being Retrenched

I have been in the tourism industry throughout my 11-year career. Two years ago, I felt that I needed to advance my career and started looking for a new job. I went for interviews, but there were no open doors. I was dismayed and began questioning my abilities.

When the COVID-19 pandemic started, I felt that there was no point in looking for another job. So, I continued where I was until I got retrenched two months ago.

Though the news came unexpectedly, I remembered walking into the office feeling at peace because I had just read Pastor Prince’s daily devotional titled Knowing Your Value Makes A Difference where he shared that grace will set us free from any fear, lack, guilt, curse and sin.

I am very thankful to Jesus that I received a good retrenchment package of about eight months’ salary. It then dawned on me that God had timed it in such a way that I could receive this package before I left the company.

The week after, I started to think if I should be concerned about securing a new job as I had heard how the unemployment rate was on the rise.

Then, on Sunday, 26 July, Pastor Prince gave a word at the end of his sermon where he shared that there was a sister who had been retrenched and that supply was going her way.

I believed that that word was for me! From then on, I stopped fearing and started expecting God’s goodness and mercy in my life. I also kept Pastor Prince’s prayer in my phone to hear it over and over again.

Four days later, I got called up for an interview. Eventually, I was offered the job with a pay increment! I did a count and realised that I had only sent out five job applications and was employed three weeks after being retrenched!

Even though I am entering a new industry, I was given the responsibility to lead a team, and the job portfolio was an expanded one where I could see myself growing in. This is truly is a career progression God’s way!

Praise the Lord. Indeed, this is The Year of Time and Space where we will enter God’s rest and enjoy the treasures that He has prepared for us!

Last year, I suddenly lost my job. Although financial anxiety tried to overwhelm me, I continued trusting that God is my provider. I remembered Pastor Prince teaching that the Lord who feeds the sparrows will surely take care of us.

By His grace, commissions from deals I had previously closed continued coming in. Even though I had lost my job, God remained faithful and ensured those payments were honoured.

At 61 years old, I knew finding another job would not be easy. Yet deep within, I sensed the Lord assuring me, “I will provide for you.”

I went through many interviews and rejections before one company continued pursuing me through five rounds of interviews. Finally, after four months of waiting, they offered me the role. The human resources manager later shared that all the interviewers had given me a unanimous “yes”.

God did not merely replace my previous job—He restored me with much more. I received a 46 per cent increase in fixed salary, along with excellent benefits.

What amazed me most was this: I had been unemployed for exactly four months, and God provided four months of guaranteed commissions. He is faithful and truly a God of “much more”.

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.
