FROM JOB DISAPPOINTMENTS TO DIVINE SETTLEMENT.”

GOD IS WONDERFUL! GOD IS TOO FAITHFUL TO FAIL!

Good evening, Daddy and Mummy. Good evening, my fellow Commanders!

I just want to testify to the goodness and faithfulness of God in my life. Truly, God has done me well!

I came to Delta State for my NYSC in 2023, and since then, the journey has not been easy. It has been rocky, with many challenges and disappointments, but through it all, God has remained faithful.

After my NYSC, I continued working at the school where I was posted as a teacher. However, in the course of teaching, I discovered that I had a passion for administrative support work, and I knew I wanted to transition into that career path.

As a result, I began investing in myself. I enrolled in a Virtual Assistant course, an Executive Virtual Assistant course, and a Customer Relationship Management course. I kept upskilling, learning new things, and improving my computer and digital skills. All the while, I remained diligent in my teaching job, trusting God that one day, all my efforts would yield results.

I applied for several jobs, both remote and on-site, but I hardly received any feedback. Sometimes, I would go through an interview and never hear from the employer again. In August, I even travelled by road to Abuja for an interview, spending a lot of money and taking that risk because I was hopeful that something good would come out of it. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.

At some point, I decided that I was going to resign from my teaching job by midterm break and relocate to Abuja to search for opportunities that aligned with the skills I had been acquiring. I was determined to take that step of faith, even though I didn't know exactly how things would turn out.

But Daddy and Mummy, fast-forward to last month, something amazing happened!

The principal at my school called me into his office. He knew about my interest in Virtual Assistant courses and my desire to transition into administrative support. He told me that a parent of one of the children he tutors, who lives abroad, was looking to employ a Personal Virtual Assistant. She had asked him if he knew anyone suitable for the role, and I came to his mind!

Daddy and Mummy, imagine that! In a place where I had been working as a teacher, God caused someone to remember me for an opportunity that aligned with the very skills I had been acquiring!

The principal told her about me, and she reached out. At the time, she wasn't sure of my availability, but I explained my plans to resign and let her know that I would be available.

Last week, she asked me to schedule an interview. After the interview, she asked for a week to work out the details of the role and the salary budget and prepare the contract. I was happy, but I was also anxious because, based on my previous experiences with job applications, I had become used to situations where people would interview me and I would never hear from them again.

Then, something happened that made me even more anxious.

The principal was concerned that my potential employer was taking too long to employ me, especially because she had indicated that she needed someone urgently. Unfortunately, he mistakenly sent a message he had intended to send directly to me to my potential employer instead. In that message, he expressed his concerns about the delay, and some of the statements could have been interpreted as disrespectful.

Although he deleted the message almost immediately, she had already seen it and taken a screenshot. She sent him the screenshot but didn't say anything further.

Daddy and Mummy, I was worried! The whole situation was tiring, and I remember thinking to myself, "Who sent this man to have this thought na?" 😂

Honestly, I became so anxious. After all the disappointments I had experienced with job applications, I was afraid that this opportunity might slip away because of something I had no control over. I didn't know what to expect, and I was worried about how everything would turn out.

It was at this point that I connected to Commanding the Day midnight prayers, and thankfully, the theme for those nights were "Crossing Barriers and Destroying Limiting Altars"!

Daddy and Mummy, the theme aligned so perfectly with my situation! I knew I needed God to intervene, so I joined the prayers and prayed fervently. There were tears in my eyes as I poured out my heart to God. I handed the entire situation over to His able hands, asking Him to take control and not allow anything to stand in the way of the opportunity He had brought my way.

I couldn't control what had happened, and I didn't know how my potential employer would react, but I chose to put my trust in God. I had done all I could; the rest was in His hands.

And Daddy and Mummy, GOD DID NOT DISAPPOINT ME!

To my amazement, yesterday, she sent me a message saying that she would be sending the contract soon. And this evening, she sent the contract!

Daddy and Mummy, I cannot even contain my joy! God has done it for me!

I have secured a fully remote Personal Virtual Assistant role, which means I get to work from the comfort of my home. And guess what? The pay is three times my current salary!

I am to resume next week, and that alone is another reason to thank God. I had been worried that she might ask me to resume this week because I was hoping to complete my work before the midterm break, which begins on the 26th of October. But everything has worked out in a way that is convenient for me.

Honestly, I don't know how to explain it, but God has shown me yet another reason why He is God!

Think about it, Daddy and Mummy. I had been applying for jobs for months without getting the desired results. I had travelled to Abuja for an interview that didn't work out. I had made plans to resign and relocate in search of better opportunities. Yet, God brought this opportunity to me right where I was working!

And when anxiety came because of the principal's mistake, God gave me a reason to hope again. At that very moment, I connected to a prayer programme whose theme spoke directly to what I was experiencing. I prayed fervently, with tears in my eyes, and handed everything over to God. Now, I am holding my employment contract!

Can you see why I say God is too faithful to fail?

I want to sincerely appreciate Daddy and Mummy for your tireless commitment and for always making yourselves available for this programme every night. May God continually strengthen you, replenish your strength, and reward your labour of love.

To the entire media team, you are awesome! God bless you all abundantly.

And to my fellow Commanders, please keep trusting God. Don't give up because of delays, disappointments, or unanswered applications. Keep preparing yourself, keep showing up in prayer, and keep handing your worries over to God. You for turning my tears into joy and giving.

HEAVEN AT Last! OGAYOLOOOO!!!!! 🙌🏽🔥
