Sometime in 1998, I executed a job for a company and unfortunately, they ran into some management problems. They came up with reasons to slash our pay including our invoices and I ended up owing the bank that gave me the loan to execute that project. After that, the bank was on my neck despite my efforts to offset the loan. This was not what I had planned for. This went on for about two and a half years.
A year and a half into it, my wife and I decided to put it as a major prayer point to God: To bring jobs my way so that the proceeds would be used to pay back the loan. This was going to be a miracle, since jobs in Port Harcourt were very competitive then. In 1999, we set aside one particular day to thank God specifically for this and even though the year was running out, we kept confessing that God would bring the job we trusted Him for.
I went back to the Bank in the first week of January 2001 to get a performance bond for a job I had been pursuing for about six months. On that day, the bank officers were rather very nice, unlike at other times. I was able to see the manager whose reception was equally nice. I began to wonder whether I was in the right bank. When I asked to know my balance, to my surprise, I was told that I had a hundred thousand naira credit in my account. This was a shock to me because I was supposed to be in debt of about seven hundred thousand naira, but my account showed a debt free balance. I quietly left the bank. I told my wife what happened and asked her to check the balance again. It was true. I decided to wait for some days to be sure that it would remain before sharing this testimony and it did.
As if that was not enough, the big job finally came through and the general manager of that company told me that my getting the job was unusual. All of this was done in fulfillment of one of the prophecies God gave us on the 31st Night Service of 2000, when Pastor Charles said, “Debts will be cancelled, unusual, and uncommon miracles will occur this year.”
