Walking in the Fullness of the blessing….

Walking in the Fullness of the blessing….

Today is April 20, 2010. Last year it was April 20th 2009, I was working with TCS, but my contract was closed and hence lost my job. I thought I would look out for a job and get one soon. I attended many interviews, and didn’t get through. I attended interviews at many MNCs, but I didn’t get through. It was a long struggle, and I lost hope in myself and in life. It was difficult, and wondered what my friends and relatives thought about me.

After a long struggle, I got through at an MNC during the first week of May, while I was attending a music concert, during the middle of the concert; I received a interview call and got through it, and then finally joined My company on May 20th. Since then God has been blessing me abundantly.

During the second week of June, I was able to purchase a Pre-owned car, which I use for taking my guitars and keyboards for concerts. I thank God for this great blessing.

And then later God went on to bless me with a life partner. It was a divine connection. When I prayed for a partner, I prayed for someone who could sing well and someone wise. And God blessed me with more than I asked for, she is not only a good singer, she is a rank holder and a technical writer.

For the RYF website, we wanted someone who could do content editing for testimonies. I didn’t request for this, but God gave me someone who is a professional in this field. www.ryf.co.in

And then we got to know each other better. We got engaged on September 26th 2009. We sang the song “Just a closer walk with thee” during our engagement. And God’s abundant presence was felt throughout the engagement.

Getting a transfer from Bangalore to Chennai is not that easy at our Company. The scripture says “ Is there anything too hard for the Lord” , the Lord says, is there anything too hard for me, Gracia got a transfer, and joined my company at Chennai location on December.

When I joined My company, it was three shifts for me, it was difficult, but we had a team which had 6 weeks of day and 3 weeks night. We are a 50 member team, but my manager chose me out of the 50 to be a part of this team which had 6 weeks of day shift. “The lord says, if you will delight yourselves in the Lord, he will give you the desires of your heart.” And I was happy to be a part of this team. The team is now moving towards total day shift work

Ephesians 3:20 says, “God is willing to do exceeding, abundantly, above and beyond what we could ask think or imagine”, and now God has blessed us with a small home. We are thankful to God for this great blessing.

When God wants something to be done, he will get it done. Nobody can stand against our God. He is the Lord of the all the earth. To God be the glory.

Last year I didn’t have a job, but God gave me one, then another blessing, and another. God has helped me to Walk in the fullness of the blessing.

God says “this is just the beginning, He says, your best days are out in front of you. And that You and I have not touched the surface of what God has in store for us.

If you delight yourself in the Lord, he will give you the desires of your heart- Jebaraj Samuel. S

In May 2009, when I received a job offer at Wipro Technologies, I had been informed by my manager during the interview that, there will be three work shifts- morning, evening, and night. I had also been informed that the shifts changed on a weekly basis. I was not happy about this, and had requested him for some alternative. Since the whole team followed the same schedule, my manager said that I will also have to follow the same. And since I had no other job offer then, I had no other choice but to follow as was instructed.

After around four weeks of work at Wipro, I had a talk with my manager and told that I was happy about the project, my profile, my friends, and the Company. But the only thing that I didn’t prefer, were the night shifts. I never wanted to come for night shifts. He told me, if you find someone to swap your shift with, you could do so. And then he left.

As days progressed, I got to know about a team which had day shifts within my project itself. It was the Nestle USA (NUSA) team. The team worked six weeks of day shifts and three weeks of night shifts. I thought it would be really good, if I were to get an opening in this team.

It so happened, at that time the NUSA team manager had an issue with his office laptop. And I did him a favor by giving his laptop for service at the HP service centre. At that time, I knew that, God had a plan for me through this situation.

Just two weeks ago, I got a call from my manager saying, “Jeba, we have an opening in the NUSA Team, would you like to take it?”. I said, I would be more than happy to take it and be a part of this team. Then he told me, that we will soon have a discussion with the client. And so I had a 30 minute discussion with my client about my profile. He asked me to tell him about myself. So I began describing all what I did from my first company till my present job at Wipro. He then asked, “Why do you want to move to the NUSA Team?” I plainly told him "You have a lot of day shifts here." And so, everything went on well. I later got a call that day confirming that I had made it through the interview and that I could join the NUSA team, next week.

I am now in the new team and am currently undergoing my training. It feels good to be here, and also now, my chances of moving onsite are much more.

So, what was that- supernatural favor? God says, if you delight yourself in him, he will give you the desires of your heart. If you keep God first place, and honor him with your life, He will cause people to want to be good to you. He will cause you to be at the right place, at the right time. His blessings will chase you down, and overtake you.

Why don’t you take the limits off of God? Get out of your box and say, “God, I’m ready for some of these explosive blessings. I am ready for some of your ‘far and beyond’ favors”. What are you believing for? Well if you think, Jeba this will never happen to me, I never get any good breaks, I will never get promoted. I say you need to know that God is longing to be good to you. But, you got to get your thoughts going in the right direction. All you need to do is believe.

I love what God said in Genesis 18:14-" Is there anything too hard for the Lord?" Do you think that your dreams are too big to come to pass? Get a new vision today. Put on a new attitude. God is all powerful. He can turn any situation around. It doesn’t matter what it looks like in the natural, He is a supernatural God. Sometimes when we here stories like these, we think, this is too good to be true. Just a few days ago I had dreamt of being a part of a new team, and sure enough I am now living that dream.

Another translation calls it the ‘secret petitions’ of your heart. Those hidden dreams, those secret desires, those promises, that you haven’t told anybody about and are just between you and God, He wants to bring these ‘secret petitions’ to pass. God is the one that puts these dreams in your heart. He wants to amaze you with his goodness. When you believe, it sets a series of events into motion. In my situation, God gave me, my team manager, to want to be good to me. Here he is, calling me out of a team of 40 members, and asking me, if I would like to take up the offer of joining the NUSA Team. Why weren’t the other team members called and given the offer?

God wants to give you the desires of your heart. Just say "Lord I believe". God is arranging things ‘in your favor’. He is lining up the right people and the right opportunities. In the coming days, you will see God’s supernatural favor and explosive blessings. God has you in the palm of his hands. He knows every need, He knows every struggle, He knows every dream, and He knows every desire. The good news is, God has it all figured out, cause he is a supernatural God. So, put your faith out there and just believe..
