Living in Freedom, Purpose, and Abundance
In the final part of my deliverance journey, I share how God restored my life, gave me peace, authority, and purpose, and taught me that true fulfillment is found only in Jesus Christ, not in success, wealth, or recognition.
Introduction
Deliverance is not just about escaping spiritual bondage; it’s about learning to walk in freedom and live a life that glorifies God. After years of intense spiritual warfare, rejection, and loss, I finally began to experience the beauty of restoration. This chapter reveals how God transformed my struggles into strength and led me into a season of peace, purpose, and abundance.
A New Beginning in a New Environment
Starting a new life in a professional environment filled with highly skilled experts was both exciting and intimidating. Expectations were high, and though this role aligned with my academic background, I had never served in a leadership position before.
From the start, I struggled with practical challenges – leading meetings, managing people, and handling complex decisions. At times, I attended leadership discussions and barely knew what to say. Rumours began to circulate that I wouldn’t last more than six months.
Barely two months into the job, the organization’s director requested a meeting. He asked, “Are you sure this is the right role for you?” and questioned why I wasn’t connecting well with my team. I calmly responded, “Please give me one month to understand everyone.”
That night, I went before God in prayer, asking for wisdom and divine guidance. A few days later, the Holy Spirit led me to read Joshua 1:3–7, a passage that strengthened my faith:
“Be strong and very courageous… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
This scripture became my anchor. I began committing my job to prayer daily and asked God to help me lead with humility and discernment.
Finding My Place and Growing in Grace
Over time, I started blending easily with people at all levels of the organization. Unlike most leaders who kept their distance, I made an effort to connect – to listen, share, and serve. Slowly, my presence brought warmth and unity to the team.
Through consistency and prayer, I grew in confidence and began to enjoy my work. Staff members started approaching me freely, and I saw God’s Favor opening doors I hadn’t even knocked on.
But while work was improving, I faced a different kind of battle in my personal life; the spirit of debt.
The Attack During the Fast
Around that period, while still adjusting to my role, I began having recurring dreams of dead relatives and shortly after begun to have debts. I declared a 40-day fast, determined to break whatever pattern was holding me back.
On the third day of the fast, I dreamt that a familiar relative stole my car keys from my pocket. When I woke up, I prayed earnestly and committed the matter to God.
Two days later, while driving to work, my car suddenly broke down in the middle of the road. It was an automatic car, and though people stopped to help, it wouldn’t move. After waiting nearly two hours for a tow truck, I took it to a mechanic – only to be told that the gearbox was beyond repair and needed replacement, but the mechanic advised me to but another car if possible
This was devastating because my workplace was 81 km away. The earliest public transport could only get me there by 9:00 a.m., even if I left home at 5:00 a.m. I had no choice but to take on another debt to buy a car immediately.
The spiritual attacks intensified during the fast, but I pressed on, determined not to give up. I showed up at work each day with a smile, refusing to let my struggles interfere with my assignment.
Promotion and Divine Favor
After the 40 days, breakthrough came swiftly. I received a promotion at work before I even completed my first year. And before that same year ended, the organization I had previously worked for contacted me unexpectedly and offered me a management position.
I accepted – partly because it was closer to home and involved more international travel. I had been confined to one place for too long, and the new role gave me freedom to explore.
In this position, my direct report rarely travelled, so she sent me on most of her international assignments. I began visiting different countries, gaining exposure, and building experience I had never imagined possible.
One day, as I sat in a hotel room preparing for another trip, I quietly reflected on how far God had brought me. I asked myself, “Where are the things that once tormented me?” The words of Psalm 37:35–36 came alive:
“I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green bay tree. Yet he passed away, and lo, he was not.”
Indeed, God had silenced every storm and restored my peace.
Living in Freedom and Purpose
I continue to pray, fast, and seek the Lord daily. I’ve learned that nothing in this world — not success, wealth, or status — can satisfy the soul. True satisfaction comes only from a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The things I once dreamt of having, I now possess, yet none of them compare to the joy of knowing Him. The peace, love, and freedom I have found in Christ outweigh every achievement or possession.
What you have read from Part 1 to Part 7 is just a glimpse of my journey, a story of transformation that I share to give perspective and hope. In the coming posts, I will begin addressing specific topics, including the study materials, biblical principles, and prayers that the Lord led me to use throughout my deliverance process.
I know these teachings will be a blessing to many who are walking their own path to Selfdeliverance.
Closing Reflection
Deliverance is not the end — it’s the beginning of a new walk with God. True freedom is living in alignment with His Word, hearing His voice, and fulfilling the purpose for which you were created.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: God never wastes a battle. Every struggle becomes a testimony, and every delay becomes preparation for destiny.
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14
Today, I live not just as someone who was delivered, but as one called to help others find that same freedom in Christ.
