God Opens Doors (GOD) and he is faithful!
Maybin testifies to God Opening Doors for him.
At my work it was announced that some redundancies were to be made and it did not concern me that I would be affected. To my surprise and shock, I was. There I was now trying to think where my next income would come from. My work colleagues were more than surprised. Damien gave a testimony of a similar incident at work and how God provided for him a new job. I went up to him and told him, in faith that I was going to have a similar testimony. I also heard testimonies of others where God had done the same, particularly those who had been prayed for during the weekly prayer meetings.
While at Richard’s house one evening, he prayed over this. Later on that week, I was informed an advert on a website which a work colleague thought would fit my next job description. I applied for the position. My wife prophesied that I would not lose income during this transition period. We prayed that God would grant me peace and that we would not be anxious. I began to declare his word over the situation. I said to myself it’s not about my education or my CV, but about God’s faithfulness. That week God gave me a song of worship, “You are faithful”, which I sang all week and with the congregation on the Sunday morning service. I was also encouraged by Pete and was prayed for by the elders.
I found that I was short-listed for interview and I remembered what Ezekiel had said some time ago: ‘if God begins to do a miracle, even half way through it, declare that he will do it totally’. I testified to the prayer group that Friday that I believed God would finish what he had began. Ezekiel heard from God during that prayer time that the job was given to me right at that moment I gave the confession.
I went for interview and learnt that only one out of five candidates was needed. During the interview break one interviewee began to pace up and down and made direct remarks at me stating that I did not have enough experience for the job., but that she had what the university needed. I went outside and some doubt seemed to have come over me whether this was already won or not. But I hang on to the words God had said to me and remembered that if God is for us, no one can be against us (Rom 8:31); when God opens doors, no one can shut (Isa 22:22); God will not fail you or forsake you (Deut 31:8). I began to pray in tongues and went to the car park to pray and prepare again for the formal afternoon interview. It was a hard interview but I said all I could and it was good. I felt reassured and had to wait all weekend to hear the outcome. I was at the Bible Week when I remembered to access my email on my mobile phone. I was delighted when I discovered that I had been offered the job. I jumped and praised God!
God Opens Doors (GOD) and he is faithful! Our faith is exercised by our confession even in the midst of a crisis because faith speaks. Thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in his name!
