Three Years of Back Pay Received

When Pastor Prince shared the theme of the year, my heart leaped for joy. It was such a good word for the dark times we live in, and I am glad I was in the house of God to receive the word.

After the service, my husband and I started sharing what we had caught from the sermon. For me, I could not stop thinking about what Pastor Prince shared on the prayer of Abraham’s servant when he was looking for a bride for his master’s son, Isaac, and how Rebekah came along and offered the servant and his camels water.

So I told my husband that this is the kairos year and that I am loved and chosen by God. Therefore, things will happen in our favor. After all, Pastor Prince did say that God can orchestrate circumstances to work in our favor.

The next day, I received a text from my company’s human resource department. They wanted to have an urgent chat with me regarding a change in my pay. My heart sank as it didn’t sound like good news to me, and I thought I had to pay back some money.

I dreaded the meeting but when I met up with the human resource staff, I was in disbelief when I was told I was supposed to receive a salary increase close to 4 years ago when I was on no-pay leave. They apologized for the oversight and even said they would pay back the difference they owed me for the last 3 years, including the bonuses.

I was trying to contain my excitement when I heard the news. How would I have known that they owed me money?

As the staff was calculating the amount to pay me, I mentioned that it must have been a lot of work doing this for me and the others. But the staff smiled and said, “Thankfully, it is only you.”

I felt so loved by the Lord and teared there and then. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that that was a kairos moment for me. By the end of the week, I received the payout. What an incredible thing to have happened, just in time for the Chinese New Year.

Thank you, Pastor Prince, for releasing the word. I’m looking forward to many more kairos moments the Lord has for us this year!
