WEBVTT 00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:05.680 I applied for almost over 100 positions. 00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:14.920 I got responses to attend over 40 interviews but nothing came through. 00:00:14.920 --> 00:00:18.040 It was always regrets. 00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:24.200 TESTIMONY GOD’S HEART TV 00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:39.120 Are you experiencing limitation in your career, business, finances, promotion? 00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:45.920 Today is your day to be lifted to a new level! 00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:53.800 Every demonic stronghold of limitation in your family, 00:00:53.800 --> 00:01:02.440 that stronghold of stagnation, setback in your family - 00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:08.680 right now, be broken! 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.360 Break free from that stronghold of limitation. 00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:16.120 Break free from that stronghold of limitation right now. 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:23.840 I’m Joseph, residing in Sudan but originally from Zimbabwe. 00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:30.920 In 2021, I lost my job because of COVID. 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.600 I then had to go back to Zimbabwe. 00:01:34.600 --> 00:01:43.600 I stayed there and after two to three months, when the COVID situation was getting better, 00:01:43.600 --> 00:01:52.000 I started trying to apply again into the company and couldn’t get an opening. 00:01:52.000 --> 00:02:02.200 I rested a bit but continued trying to apply, even to other organisations and companies. 00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:11.960 2021 passed. 2022 passed. And 2023 also came and went. 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:18.920 During that time, I was facing challenges of financial resources. 00:02:18.920 --> 00:02:26.080 And it was about fees for my son who is in boarding school - 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.680 I could no longer afford that. 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.800 Because he's in a private school. 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.000 So, I continued trying to find solutions. 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:42.360 I went to spiritualists. I went to herbalists. 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:47.840 And in the process, I started losing even more money 00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:54.960 as I was being asked for a lot of money to get remedy for the jobs I was applying for. 00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:00.280 I applied for almost over 100 positions. 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:05.600 I was doing a tally of the jobs I had applied for. 00:03:05.600 --> 00:03:12.800 But some, I applied directly on their website, and I couldn't tally them. 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:23.360 I got responses to attend over 40 interviews but nothing came through. 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.480 It was always regrets. 00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:29.720 ‘We will get in touch with you; we will contact you.’ 00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:35.840 And some, you could really see that ‘I’ve gotten through this; I’ve made it’. 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.680 But in the last minute, you would just hear, 00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:46.720 ‘Sorry, we regret to advise that you have not made it. Please continue trying.’ 00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:54.960 Only five out of those 40 interviews that I did came closer to breakthrough. 00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:02.320 But it was very difficult - that was partly in 2023 and 2024. 00:04:02.320 --> 00:04:08.960 There were also difficulties and arguments in my family with my wife. 00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:16.200 Because I had started a project of animal husbandry and poultry keeping. 00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:23.320 And through that, I lost money because you would get people saying, 00:04:23.320 --> 00:04:30.600 ‘Keep some chickens for us and we will take this number when they are ready.’ 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:34.880 When the time came and they were ready, people would say, 00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:40.120 ‘No, we have gotten another contractor who has supplied us. Sorry.’ 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:48.040 So you are stuck with the product and you sell them at a loss. So that drained me. 00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:57.200 And at the same time, as I went to spiritualists, the situation got worse and worse. 00:04:57.200 --> 00:05:01.320 There were frequent quarrels in the home. 00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:06.640 Even relatives were not talking to me. 00:05:06.640 --> 00:05:08.480 It was just a difficult situation. 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:14.080 And as I saw my bank account going down and down and 00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:20.880 not having money for school fees for this year for my son, it got even worse. 00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:29.200 Then my wife encouraged me to submit a prayer request to God’s Heart TV. 00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:35.960 I hesitated a bit, but having seen that the situation was not getting any better, 00:05:35.960 --> 00:05:42.360 I submitted a prayer request - that was in mid April 2024. 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:50.400 I was responded to and on May 4, I was invited for an Interactive Prayer. 00:05:50.400 --> 00:05:59.920 On May 13, I got an interview from the organisation that I’m working with, 00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:01.600 which I used to work for. 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:07.520 I went through the interview. I didn't think I was successful. 00:06:07.520 --> 00:06:12.960 Because the questions were so difficult and the reasons were - 00:06:12.960 --> 00:06:20.240 why had I stayed out that long without having gone back to the organisation? 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.720 That was on May 13. 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:31.360 On June 14, I got a response that I had passed the interview. 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:38.520 I signed the contract and that’s why I’m now in Sudan as well. 00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:46.680 And I thank God for all that He did through God’s Heart TV and Brother Chris’ prayers. 00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:58.240 I am now able to pay for the school fees of my son for 2024 and 2025. 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:03.200 Ever since the prayer with Brother Chris, how is the relationship with your wife? 00:07:03.200 --> 00:07:15.640 It’s very good. Even as I am here, every night, we pray together via WhatsApp or video. 00:07:15.640 --> 00:07:20.040 We also pray together as a family when my son is also there. 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:24.920 And what about the situation with the spiritualist, the herbalist? 00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.840 Are you still inclined to visit them? 00:07:27.840 --> 00:07:33.440 No, I am not inclined anymore. I lost a lot. 00:07:33.440 --> 00:07:37.000 I didn’t mention that I even lost a vehicle through that process, 00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:40.920 so I'm not inclined anymore to think of that, 00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:49.160 other than reading my Bible and praying - and that’s all I think about. 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.320 Is there any advice that you would like to give to viewers watching right now? 00:07:53.320 --> 00:07:58.560 We all face difficult situations in our lives, 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:05.360 and sometimes we think it’s the end of the world, and no one will listen to us. 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.760 And especially when you lose an income, it becomes very difficult. 00:08:09.760 --> 00:08:13.200 You are like a burden to people. 00:08:13.200 --> 00:08:19.000 So I would like to say to others that are facing a similar situation 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.800 and they have not found a solution - 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:28.120 at least in God, there is a solution, even though it might take time. 00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:34.600 The moment we run to God, He will remember us surely at our hour of need.
