What
an awesome God we serve
And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord… All my bones shall say,” Lord, who is
like Thee?”
Psalms 35: 9-10
I would like to share my life story with you. Hope that it blesses your life and
brings glory to our Lord Jesus Christ. It was 2009, the company which I am
working now was almost collapsed. Many people worked there lost their jobs due
to their poor performances. Soon the trading division of the company was given
to me with a condition. The condition was that I should bring at least a single
business within three months from January 2010 and if not then it would result
to the cancellation of my Visa and I would be sent back home. Also, my salary
was reduced to almost half of which I was getting.
The trading division which was handed over to me was almost a crippled one. It
had neither clients to serve nor any specific product to market and I had no
previous marketing experience. Yet I took it as a challenge relying on the mercy
& love of our Lord God Jesus Christ. As I use to look back the journey of my
life I always wonder that how I had overcome the turbulence which I faced all
my life time without any suffering. And I know it was not my
strength but the grace of our savior.
Many people whom I know promised me to help me to get some sort of support. Yet,
none of them helped me nor the company facilitated me with any of the marketing
tools. But, I was waiting for my Lord to shine His face upon me and I never
worried about anything as I knew God would
open me another door if this door shuts.
The days rolled
gradually and I did whatever I could do for the progress of the company with
prayers. Finally, we got a business order from one of the prestigious firm in
Qatar during February 2010. So, I realized that God has started His work in my
life. So, I put everything on God's feet and continued my career journey. On
March 2010, the final month of my probation, I was invited to visit the
establishment from which we had got the order. You might think that it would
have been a good news for me. But, it was not. They blamed us for submitting
over-priced quotation and they pointed out that our price was almost 10 times
more comparing to all other offers which other suppliers quoted them. Also, they
warned us
that we would be black listed if we do the same mistake ever again.
Finally, 30th March 2010
arrived, the day before the end of my probation period. Still I never worried
for anything even to go back to my own country. I knew I would survive as long
as my faith is in our Lord God. I went to the office as usual and a pleasant
surprise was waiting for me. Yes, the order was sanctioned, the one which I
quoted during my probation, the offer for which I was blamed by the prestigious
establishment. I would have hugged Jesus Christ tightly if He had been
physically present next to me.
What an awesome Lord God we server...multiples of millions of praises to His
Holy name.
