For the past three years, I worked for a company that did contracted work for the US Government. At the end of 2011, this company lost the contract to another company.

The new company that was awarded the contract took over on 1 January 2012. It interviewed all of us and only kept about 15 (out of 50) of us. The rest of my co-workers are new to the job. Praise God, I was one of the 15 to be re-hired, but it gets even better.

The owners of my present company happen to be born-again, Spirit-filled Christians. Unlike the owners of the previous company, they run the business with integrity based on Godly principles. I used to work with them previously in another business about 10 years ago, so they know the value I bring to their company and the favor of God that is upon my life. We have always had a great respect for one another and I am thrilled to be working under godly leadership! I am the only employee that they previously knew so I knew that it was all God’s arrangement.

Unknown to me, my new employers were discreetly looking out for potential candidates from one of the 15 re-hired workers for the position of assistant project manager. Meanwhile, I was just doing my job, working over and above to help train the new workers. I was not expecting anything in return. I know favor and increase come from the Lord so I don’t need to “apple polish” anyone, as you always say.

You see, my job is not a “career” for me. God has called me to be primarily a wife and mother. I only work a couple of days a week for money that I use for extracurricular activities for my children and travel for my family. I spend the majority of my week caring for my family, helping out in church and supporting my husband’s business. (I also use my income to buy your resources and to partner with your ministry—I flew to see you in Houston, Texas, with the money I earned from my job.)

Well, I was selected for the position and offered the job! However, I told my employers that my family is my priority in life and that I was available to work on the condition that I could work just two days a week. They agreed to give me the days I needed and even made the project manager (my boss) change his days off to accommodate my schedule!

In addition, they have given me an iPhone 4 and a huge pay increase! I will make more than twice as much as I made last year while working the same schedule I worked before. Now, that is GOD’S UNMERITED FAVOR!

Pastor Prince, I received your words when I read your ministry email declaring that 2012 is the year of Unceasing Fruitfulness. I ordered the entire MP3 message right away when I got that email so that I could establish my heart with the word God has given you for this year. God is ALREADY performing this word in my life.

Your teachings have revolutionized the lives of my family members. We are different believers today. We really expect the goodness of God because of what we have learned from you about His grace. We love you and are so thankful to you, your wife and your ministry team! God bless you.
