“My name is Carol from South Africa. I am an optometrist by profession. I wrote a prayer request to God’s Heart TV and I was invited to an Interactive Prayer Service on November 12, 2022. It was a difficult time for me. I was praying for a stable job because I was experiencing a lot of rising and falling in my business. So, I attended the Interactive Prayer with my family on November 12, 2022. I remember on November 25, in that same month, my son asked me to take him shopping. While at the mall, I saw that a new store was opening. I went inside and asked if they had an optometrist. They said the one they were having would just be working with them until December 2022. So, they asked me to email my CV. By God’s grace, I got the job, and I give all the honour and glory to Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour. I would also like to thank Brother Chris for allowing God to use him so mightily.
“However, this job was not without challenges. The first day I started my work, I met a lady who was a manager at the business. She made several ungodly requests from me that amounted to stealing from the company with her. I refused, telling her that I prayed for my job, God gave it to me, and I belong to Him. The lady kept pushing and pushing until I told her that I would inform management about what she wanted me to do. Battlelines were drawn spiritually and physically. She would regularly try to humiliate and embarrass me in front of the clients. It went on and on until our boss came and said he is aware of everything that was going on and that she should stop her phone calls and messages against me. He said this in front of everyone. That’s when I realised that God Almighty is with me and fighting for me. There were times where the environment at work was toxic and I even wanted to resign – but I was reminded by my husband that God should be the One releasing me, not anyone. When the company recently did an audit, they found out that she was stealing money from the company and she was dismissed from work. Now, I really trust God with all my heart. I will never doubt Him again. He put me in that place for a reason. The peace I was longing for is there at work and I give God all the glory.”
