Wonderful God's plan over restructuring
Sakaki Israel (Yokohama city, Yokohama)
Company is bankrupted, and restructuring
" What? Restructuring?" It was a day falling cold rain with snow from morning on 19 th of January, 2010.
A company my husband worked demanded application for the Corporate Rehabilitation Law to Tokyo court. The aggregate amount of indebtedness becomes 2 trillion and 3 hundred billion yen. For business firm, it put under a government in biggest bankruptcy after war.
From my husband, I was said " 16 thousand people are restructured. Please make up your mind." In a radio of one to three people, especially most target in more than 50 years old. How will a severance allowance and company pension end up? In the time of super glacial period for getting job, I was filled out uneasiness in my heart because this is not a very hard situation to be able to hope reemployment on my husband who is about 60 years old.
Let's give thanksgiving to God !
But a word comes out from my mouth was " Thank you for working hard for 37 years. I really thank you.... It will be alright ! Because God stays with us. New things start from now. Let's pray for thanksgiving to God." "God, we give thanksgiving to you. You love us, and this problem is allowed for your good work, and you have blessed plan on your wonderful plan over this thing that we think bad. We thank you always to reveal your glory abundantly through this thing." After we pray, we are given easiness and confirmation. My husband's eye were filled with tears.
We told that restructuring will be January, but it is put off after a few months. Those who are employee said " How will be our life. We need educational expenses for child." " We still have repayment for house loan." " We need to look after our aged parents." My husband came back midnight every day because he wanted to assist them even it is a little help in his left time. When I saw my husband's back style which become curved and curved, I noticed that I think for only myself. " Please forgive me, God." I start to pray and ask from my heart for the employees and the family.
"Things are fulfilled"
I was told " Go." to a team to Patmos and Thessaloniki on July by God. But it was hard to tell to my husband, please let me go to Patmos team because of looking after his parents and uneasiness feeling on his health situation. But I pray and ask to God, and told my husband nervously. "Please let me go to Patmos team." The answer of my husband was " "Please pray at Patmos." Hallelujah ! I felt something is changing big.
When I pray at Patmos, I was given a word " Things are fulfilled." from Revelation 21 : 6. Certainly, Lord give us a overwhelming victory, and I could trust that Lord reveal the glory.
" Second topic is on God's plan."
On 30 th of September, which was collected many things in the company, he retired the company where he kept working for 37 years.
After he retired, he registered with human resource introduction company where to support getting job soon. And he took seminar for how to take an interview and write personal resume, and so on. He was a side to hire someone until now, but turned to be hired. From the season in charge, “In the situation that it is said that the rate of college graduate is 60%, this is very difficult situation to get job for more than 60 years old. I recommend you to find through acquaintances and former relationships, and so on.” It was certainly ultra gracial epochs forgetting job.
Around the season fluttering dry leaves, we had a talk to want him to work with his career until now, because they plan new project to strengthen work for Asian area from now. From an foreign company which the head office is located on Europe, and he had relationship on work before. It was a job that he can draw on his work experience until now, and the work place is full of international atmosphere, also it has business trip to Europe. Those are the thing we hope. I am in charge of Europe section in WFSM (The Water Flowing From The Sanctuary Mission), so I thought that a way of the Europe missionary work is greatly opened through this.
We prayed “Yes! Cheers! We give thanksgiving so God! If this place to worked God’s guide, I hope to be chosen certainly.”, and to be prayed presbyter’s couple in my church. Then we had prophecy that “Go forward if the talk does not stop. But the second talk is from God’s plan.” I thought that “Oh, my God. This talk is first, the second does not come.” But we prayed “Lord, please help us we can walk on your best way which you lead us. “On the land of Morioka, my two friends serve their passion prayer to God with fast for my husband’s salvation and work on every Wednesday.
God knows everything.
After a few days, from the foreign company that we try to work, we had a contact that they need to rethink their budget and planning content of the new project, and decide to put the time back. This is certainly stop from God.
On 1 st of November, a father-in-law broke down and hospitalized. After 2 weeks, a mother-in-law became unconscious for a cerebropathy and brought to University hospital by ambulance, and hospitalized. On 9 th of January, 2011, my mother went back to heaven. My husband stayed in house and helped me all the time, I could get over the nursing and care of two and the sadness from my mother’s death. If the first talk go through smoothly and was chosen, his work starts from 1 st of November, and he has gradually gotten busier and it was not a situation to be able to take time off. God knows everything.
When we see the wrong side during embroidering, it is difficult to understand from confusing that why this yarn is up in this place, or cut. But when we see the wrong side after finished, we could understand the meaning for all things like “Ah, I can understand this yarn is cut there because of this color and figure, and expression. Like this, our heart suffers from such a troublesome thing to me when we had problems. But you just don’t see God’s plan through the thing yet. You will see God’s wonderful blessings concretely soon.
Just the day after a year
On 19 th of January, we got a mail. It is from the one that we made close with the whole family when we are transferred to London. The content was he is looking for an excellent person from private company in a public-service corporation, and do you want to work? The condition is better than the farmer company. It was just the day before the year, a company where my husband work apply an application for the Corporate Rehabilitation Low to Tokyo District Court, and the day when I prayed to God for giving thanksgiving with my husband together, and the second coming place to work where just God talk to us.
It became determination to work from 1 st of February, and he went to inform that he found a job to recruitment company where he registered. A person in charge said to him, “You are lucky.” Then my husband answered to him “This is an answer for my wife’s prayer.” I praise God.
God loves each of us, and has wonderful plan on our life. It is a plan for blessing and victory, and grace. Hallelujah! Praise the name of the Lord! “Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5 : 16- 18
I took hold the words, and keep praying to ask God’s best solution with giving thanksgiving to God moreover. Then, for a while, I noticed a strange thing. It is that I don’t have summons from police for long time. So, I decide to change prayer boldly to “I hope that the penalty become cheaper and cheaper and license suspended become shorter and shorter.” and “Please help me not to pay any one yen penalty and not to be reduced any one point score!” After who months from the accident, I received notice from insurance company. It is written that “All things were done in all insurance for both car repair cost, also the other party’s treatment cost, and so on. God answers my prayer and give me solution without lose any one point. Also, God gives me more finances than we lost after that.
