From uncertainty to breakthrough

In March 2025, we left Ghana and moved back to the UK. We didn’t know what the future held but we just knew that we had to return for family reasons and trusted that God would meet us there. I had a consultancy project lined up which we thought would sustain us. However, I delivered the project and the client disappeared without paying me. I decided to pursue the client legally but this process can take a long time. This was a big blow. A big test.

In the middle of the situation, I was invited to give a keynote speech at the University of Nottingham to 800 students. I spoke about purpose, leadership and legacy. No one knew that I didn’t even have a job as I stood up there. We had just left Ghana not knowing what the future held but God still gave me a platform. It made me realise that purpose doesn’t pause just because your situation is uncertain.

The search

It wasn’t easy. Months of job searching. Rejection after rejection. Decline after decline. No income. At this point, we were having serious conversations about how we would pay our mortgage because we were running dry.

Despite our situation, we still felt led to host people and serve during this season. The crazy thing is, the more we gave, the more we received. People who didn’t even know our situation entirely randomly blessed us. Friends we hadn’t spoken to in years reached out and said they had the urge to send us money. This happened with FOURTEEN different people. Every single month, we had more than enough to cover our mortgage and bills despite having no income. We saw God move in ways we cannot explain.

September was one of the hardest month of our lives at that point. Every day there was a new rejection email and it felt like our prayers were hitting the ceiling. My wife’s great grandma passed away earlier in the year too and September was the burial in Ghana but we couldn’t go, not because we didn’t want to but because we couldn’t afford to. We were so hurt and thoughts of regret started to creep in. Perhaps if we had stayed in Ghana, we would have been able to attend. There was a real heaviness in our home. I decided that we needed to pray, not just individually but together as a family with the kids. EVERY SINGLE DAY. Here we saw our 5 year old daughter pray boldly ‘Lord thank you that the right job is on its way for my parents and thank you for always taking care of us’. Those prayers carried us. Some days her faith felt stronger than ours. She reminded us what it meant to trust like a child.

Time was running out and our mortgage was coming up for renewal but with no income, we were struggling to plan ahead.

In the middle of waiting, we joined Pastor Nathaniel’s Hallelujah Challenge. One of the days had the theme ‘Dress Your Miracle’. So we got up, got dressed and showed up as though our breakthrough had already occurred. We didn’t feel it but we believed it. Then the day after the Hallelujah Challenge, I received a job offer! A job that came at the right time. A job that offered me a higher salary than what was advertised without me having to negotiate or ask. FAVOUR ISN’T LOGICAL BUT IT’S REAL. What is so significant about this is that the offer came through a week before our remortgage negotiations started. The higher salary also meant that we met the threshold for the deal we were looking for.

My daughter even prophetically pointed to my workplace building a week before the offer and asked, ‘Daddy, is this your workplace?’. I said ‘no’. A week later, I drove by and got to point to the same building and say to her ‘Princess, this is Daddy’s workplace’. God speaks, even through children!

As for the legal challenge, God is still moving. A friend of mine who is a lawyer came forward and offered to handle the case for free for us to help me recover the money that I’m owed.

We’re standing in answer to prayers and breakthrough reached in our home. If you’re in your waiting season, DON’T GIVE UP! When it feels like nothing is happening, God is still working. We’re living proof. May your testimony be next!
