I had been working in my previous company for about two years. In April 2010, my boss told me that I was a wrong fit for the job and she could tell that I was not really enjoying my work. She gave me two options — to resign or to transfer to another department. Also, she had already found another person for my position and the new employee would be starting work in a few days time. Although I always knew that the job was not suitable, I was taken aback when this happened. It was unexpected and I was not prepared to leave. I felt very lost and even broke down after the talk with her.  

I went home battling many condemning thoughts about not being victorious at work and not being a good testimony. I felt ashamed and was fearful about losing my job. At that moment, I was reminded of what Pastor Keith shared during the Marked camp in 2009. He told us to stop asking the wrong questions, like why did this happen to me, where is God in my situation, and so on. He shared that the enemy will always taunt us with questions, like what he did to Jesus, but Jesus never addressed the devil’s questions. Immediately, I went home and listened to New Creation Church’s music album. I was very ministered to by the songs. It was mentioned in one of the songs that God is good to all His people and that all things work out for good to those who love God and to those who are called according to His purpose. This really spoke to me.

I kept encouraging myself in the Lord, reminding myself of His promises in my life and that restoration will take place. I continued to listen to, believe and speak His Word over my situation. After spending time with Jesus and talking to my leader in church, I took a step of faith and resigned, knowing that God will bring me to a much better place.

At one of the GenRev services after my resignation, Pastor Benjamin said something that also spoke to me. He told us not to be afraid to quit our jobs if we find ourselves in a place of compromise, which was how I felt at my previous job. My heart was so full of rest and peace knowing that that was a confirmation from the Lord.

I confessed favour over my resume and started sending it to a few companies. Within two weeks of my resignation, I had six interviews lined up. I had so much favour at the interviews and received five job offers. God is so good! I accepted the best offer, with a 29 per cent pay increment from my previous job. This is indeed a year of restful increase! All glory to Jesus!
