How I got a JOB in line with my DESTINY!! | Inspiring Testimony

  • 0:00 - 0:04
    Even though I still received that job offer,
    I still sought God.
  • 0:04 - 0:09
    Because I understood He had given me a dream about the earlier company, Company A.
  • 0:09 - 0:13
    And now this opportunity with
    Company B had come about.
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    So at that time I sought God’s face.
  • 0:16 - 0:22

  • 0:58 - 1:01
    My name is Dumisani from Zambia.
  • 1:01 - 1:05
    My testimony is concerning a job breakthrough this year, 2024.
  • 1:05 - 1:12
    It all started in 2022 when I had finished school, and by that time I had been looking for a job.
  • 1:12 - 1:18
    I had graduated from China. I had been studying abroad for more than four years.
  • 1:18 - 1:23
    And I received my bachelor's degree
    by the end of the year 2022.
  • 1:23 - 1:26
    So I had come back to Zambia,
    and around that time,
  • 1:26 - 1:31
    it was after my degree that I had
    to start seeking for a job.
  • 1:31 - 1:38
    And in that case, it was not easy at all because of how competitive the job market was.
  • 1:38 - 1:45
    We have a lot of graduates who are capable of actually getting any job.
  • 1:45 - 1:49
    But in my case, I was also really trying to compete in that same job market.
  • 1:49 - 1:52
    I studied electrical and electronic engineering in China.
  • 1:52 - 2:03
    I had to take that step forward to find a job in line with my field of study
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    and in this case, it was really hard.
  • 2:04 - 2:11
    By that time, I had no idea what job I could even apply to - whether internships or attachments.
  • 2:11 - 2:15
    Because during my stay in China,
    which was the time of COVID,
  • 2:15 - 2:21
    it was very difficult for me to have
    any sort of job attachment
  • 2:21 - 2:29
    or gain any experience during my studies which could be used in applying for a job more easily.
  • 2:29 - 2:33
    First of all, I have to say that
    God has really helped me a lot.
  • 2:33 - 2:37
    During that time I had prayed and sought God on what job I can apply for.
  • 2:37 - 2:41
    What can I do? What kind of job opportunity should I look for?
  • 2:41 - 2:43
    And in that case, God really guided me,
  • 2:43 - 2:49
    and with that conviction, it helped me to start looking at the position of a graduate trainee.
  • 2:49 - 2:55
    And at that time, it really hit my
    heart and convicted me.
  • 2:55 - 2:59
    I had shared that thought with my mum,
    and that’s how I started doing more research.
  • 2:59 - 3:03
    I prayed to God and sought His guidance because of that same conviction -
  • 3:03 - 3:06
    to know what to do next.
  • 3:06 - 3:12
    So, at that time, I tried applying to a certain mining company in my country.
  • 3:12 - 3:16
    I had no idea how to even write a CV.
  • 3:16 - 3:23
    I had no idea how to highlight the experience I had in China and many times,
  • 3:23 - 3:28
    people would tell me I needed an attachment or some sort of work experience
  • 3:28 - 3:32
    for you to easily secure a job.
  • 3:32 - 3:39
    So it really felt discouraging and seemed like there was little hope for me.
  • 3:39 - 3:43
    But I just got encouraged by that conviction to pursue graduate training.
  • 3:43 - 3:48
    At that time, my mum had encouraged me to try applying to different places.
  • 3:48 - 3:52
    I said I would give it a try although
    I was feeling a bit discouraged.
  • 3:52 - 3:59
    I had been following Brother Chris
    since early in 2022.
  • 3:59 - 4:04
    Because at that time, he had appeared
    on my newsfeed on Facebook.
  • 4:04 - 4:09
    And then I got encouraged by his words in a certain sermon I watched.
  • 4:09 - 4:15
    I got encouraged to start following him and listening to his sermons.
  • 4:15 - 4:20
    And by God's grace, I started following through with the messages
  • 4:20 - 4:23
    and short clips of encouragement
    here and there.
  • 4:23 - 4:28
    So during that time, as I was applying,
    my mother actually had a dream
  • 4:28 - 4:35
    where she was given the name ‘Energy’.
  • 4:35 - 4:37
    I said, ‘Energy. What do you mean?’
  • 4:37 - 4:44
    She said, ‘Dumisani, I have dreamt about this, and you are the only one in our family
  • 4:44 - 4:49
    who I know has done something related to engineering, so it should be yours.’
  • 4:49 - 4:54
    I thought, ‘Okay, energy. What company
    is related to energy?’ And I looked it up.
  • 4:54 - 5:00
    So I had the conviction to research
    more about this company.
  • 5:00 - 5:06
    I had sought God’s opinion because if it wasn’t for Him, I wouldn’t even be able
  • 5:06 - 5:12
    to know what to do, how to write the curriculum vitae or anything like that.
  • 5:12 - 5:20
    During research, I found out that they were actually having a training program for graduates.
  • 5:20 - 5:32
    To give a bit more context, as soon as I started thinking more about graduate training,
  • 5:32 - 5:36
    there was also an opportunity that
    came up at another company.
  • 5:36 - 5:39
    So in this case, I have to describe
    these two companies
  • 5:39 - 5:42
    as Company A and Company B,
    just for the sake of clarity.
  • 5:42 - 5:45
    So Company A was the one that
    my mum had told me about,
  • 5:45 - 5:49
    then Company B was this later opportunity that had come about.
  • 5:49 - 5:53
    So by that time I said, ‘Hey, I'm just
    going to give it a try and push in.’
  • 5:53 - 5:59
    And by God's grace, I got called for the interviews which I attended.
  • 5:59 - 6:03
    I thought, ‘Let me just put myself out there and go for these interviews.’
  • 6:03 - 6:09
    I didn't really think that I did well
    in the interview with Company B.
  • 6:09 - 6:14
    But by God's grace, I got interviewed
    and called with a job offer.
  • 6:14 - 6:20
    So even though I still received that job offer, I still sought God.
  • 6:20 - 6:25
    Because I understood He had given me a dream about Company A.
  • 6:25 - 6:29
    And now this opportunity with
    Company B had come about.
  • 6:29 - 6:32
    So at that time I sought God’s face.
  • 6:32 - 6:37
    And by God's grace, He had given a dream to my mum once more.
  • 6:37 - 6:41
    She had seen me in her dream
    signing two contracts.
  • 6:41 - 6:44
    So there was a smaller paper and then there was a bigger paper.
  • 6:44 - 6:52
    The smaller paper represented the job offer I had gotten first, which she saw me signing.
  • 6:52 - 6:56
    After she had woken up from that dream, she encouraged me,
  • 6:56 - 6:59
    ‘You are going to get this job with Company B - go for it.
  • 6:59 - 7:06
    But at a later time, you will join Company A - the same company I told you about earlier.’
  • 7:06 - 7:10
    So, by God's grace, I started
    working at Company B
  • 7:10 - 7:16
    but I was still seeking guidance and clarity for Company A, knowing God’s time is the best.
  • 7:16 - 7:22
    So, earlier this year actually, there was an opportunity that came up with Company A
  • 7:22 - 7:26
    under the same position of graduate trainee, and I was a bit hesitant
  • 7:26 - 7:31
    because of those same dreams and I didn’t want to disobey God in any way.
  • 7:31 - 7:40
    So during February 2024, Brother Chris was having an Interactive Prayer Service.
  • 7:40 - 7:44
    By that time, I was watching it on
    YouTube and I prayed with him.
  • 7:44 - 7:47
    And with the conviction that came
    in my heart during the prayer,
  • 7:47 - 7:52
    I decided to put in a request
    for the job at Company A.
  • 7:52 - 7:57
    The applications were open in January,
    but I only received the opportunity
  • 7:57 - 8:01
    to conduct an aptitude test in May.
  • 8:01 - 8:08
    By that time, a lot of people had also applied, trying to get that opportunity as well.
  • 8:08 - 8:13
    But by God's grace, in the month of
    August 2024, I received a call
  • 8:13 - 8:16
    to say I should attend interviews.
  • 8:16 - 8:23
    By that time, I had prayed. And between the months of February and August,
  • 8:23 - 8:31
    I had still been praying with Brother Chris about my conviction and this opportunity.
  • 8:31 - 8:38
    And with that conviction, I heard God’s voice in my heart - it is well!
  • 8:38 - 8:42
    I knew I just needed to keep trusting in Him, knowing God’s time is the best.
  • 8:42 - 8:47
    So August came and I had
    attended that interview.
  • 8:47 - 8:51
    I need to address that it
    wasn't a smooth time
  • 8:51 - 8:54
    because by that time, I was being discouraged as well.
  • 8:54 - 8:59
    People were saying, ‘No, this company is very difficult to get in.
  • 8:59 - 9:00
    Maybe you need to know someone
  • 9:00 - 9:04
    for you to actually have an opportunity there to get the job.’
  • 9:04 - 9:06
    And people were also making complaints.
  • 9:06 - 9:09
    But with the messages from Brother Chris,
  • 9:09 - 9:14
    I got encouraged to keep up my faith
    and trust in God, knowing that
  • 9:14 - 9:20
    He had given a dream and guidance that
    I was going to go to this company,
  • 9:20 - 9:22
    and that at His own time, I would go there.
  • 9:22 - 9:27
    So even though moments of discouragement had come, God's Word was encouraging me
  • 9:27 - 9:31
    and also the messages and Interactive Prayer Services with Brother Chris.
  • 9:31 - 9:34
    They were really encouraging
    me in all sorts of ways.
  • 9:34 - 9:39
    So after the interview in August,
    I waited up to October
  • 9:39 - 9:44
    and by God's grace, I received the call that I had received a job offer at Company A,
  • 9:44 - 9:47
    the company that I'm currently working at.
  • 9:47 - 9:50
    And how are you finding the
    work there at that new role?
  • 9:50 - 9:54
    It's absolutely exciting.
    I really enjoy the work.
  • 9:54 - 9:57
    Because it’s something that
    I had always wanted to do.
  • 9:57 - 10:01
    By God's grace, if I do well,
    a promotion is on the table.
  • 10:01 - 10:04
    My word of advice that I can give anyone,
  • 10:04 - 10:09
    be it a youth or anyone who's still in school and maybe looking forward to get work,
  • 10:09 - 10:12
    is that we should always seek God first.
  • 10:12 - 10:14
    We should start with Him
    and finish with Him.
  • 10:14 - 10:18
    He’s the Author and Finisher of our faith.
  • 10:18 - 10:21
    And He’s there taking care of us
    in each and every area.
  • 10:21 - 10:24
    We start our lives with Him and we should end our lives with Him.
  • 10:24 - 10:29
    During that time, we shouldn't be discouraged, especially by the voices that are out there.
  • 10:29 - 10:33
    And also we should keep our hearts
    in tune with God's Word.
  • 10:33 - 10:41
    Just as it says in the Book of Jeremiah 29:11 about His wonderful plans for us,
  • 10:41 - 10:44
    to prosper us, for us to succeed,
    and not to destroy us.
  • 10:44 - 10:48
    In the same vein, we should also keep our hearts in tune with that Word,
  • 10:48 - 10:52
    and also with the vast words of wisdom that are there in the Bible,
  • 10:52 - 10:58
    so that we don't lose our focus and get carried away by fleeting desires -
  • 10:58 - 11:00
    ‘No, I just need money, this and that...’
  • 11:00 - 11:05
    Because above all, we should seek to glorify God in everything that we do,
  • 11:05 - 11:09
    including the work or the jobs
    that we apply for or get into.
  • 11:09 - 11:13
    So I advise you to not give up, to keep applying but to trust God in every way,
  • 11:13 - 11:16
    rather than getting into disobedience.
