Last year I received a prophetic word by Aunty Jen. I was told “I was in a storm, and that arrows were pointed at me. But I was also told that God was with me, and His angels were right there in the middle of it with me.” At the time, I didn’t fully understand what that meant. I just held onto it.
Then it started to make sense.
At work, senior leadership of the largest semiconductor firms began saying I wasn’t good enough. The truth is, the issues they were pointing at were problems the leader themselves had caused — but instead of owning it, the blame got shifted onto me. It felt exactly like what I’d been warned about. Arrows, pointed right at me, from someone in a position over me.
I could have panicked. I could have tried to fight it in my own strength, tried to defend myself in every conversation, tried to prove myself to people who had already made up their minds. But I remembered the prophetic word, I knew I just had to keep quiet. I wasn’t alone in this storm. God said He was with me, and that meant I didn’t have to carry it by myself.
So instead of striving and arguing, I leaned into what I was guided to do — I stayed steady, I stayed prayerful, and I trusted that the truth doesn’t need me to defend it as much as it needs me to stay faithful while it comes out on its own.
I let God be my defense instead of trying to be my own.
Months later, that senior leader ended up leaving this major US Semiconductor company. And I won’t lie — my first reaction was “good riddance.” After everything, it felt justified to just let them go without a second thought.
But God had other plans for my heart. Prophetess Jen cautioned me and reminded me to show grace, love and mercy, even to someone who had hurt me. Shesaid go out of your way to bless her. Honestly, It wasn’t the response I wanted to give, after all the hell I received from her, but it was the one I knew I needed to give.
So I chose to wish the leader goodbye, and I gave her a gift on their way out. I wasn’t expecting much of a reaction, but it brought the leader to tears. In that very moment, we reconciled — before she even left the company, for good.
Looking back, I can see how accurate that word was, down to the detail. The arrows were real and for a long period. But so was the presence of god that was promised alongside them.
And in the end, God didn’t just bring me through the storm — He used the ending of it to grow my character, teaching me that grace and mercy can turn even the hardest situations into moments of healing. I wasn’t left to face any of it alone, and I’m still standing, which tells me the storm never had the final say.
I was finally vindicated and promoted not once, but twice in the company again and again. Praise God and thank you aunty Jen for warning me. I love you Lord, Bless the Lord Oh my Soul and let all that is within me, let it bless His holy name.
