TESTIMONIES
TESTIMONIES ABOUND AT
THE RIVER
JEHOVAH JIREH
I
was made redundant in February 2017, due to
Brexit. I started a part time MBA programme
after being made redundant. After 6 months of
unemployment, I was contacted for an engineering
role not far from where I live. I had two interviews and
was offered a role that more senior that the position I
originally applied for.
After a few weeks in the job, my colleagues started
picking on the field engineers’ mistakes and began
accusing me for their mistakes as I was the one
coordinating their tasks. I spoke to my line manager
who reassured me. Day after day I went into work
feeling frustrated.
During The River evening service on Sunday 4th Feb
2018 Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo asked everyone
who called Joke to come to the altar. I went forward on
behalf of my mum. Whilst Pastor was praying, he called
me forward and prayed saying: “I take frustration off
you, you’re about to make a decision … you don’t know
which way to go but God will guide you.”
A few hours before the interview, just as I was about
to send an email to the recruiter to say that I would
no longer be attending the interview (I’d discussed my
intention with my husband the night before), an email
came in from my husband. He said: “You have never
applied for all your best roles so far; they always found
you. God is up to something. Go for that interview,
Pastor prayed for you already, it’s your job.”
I went for the interview, three days later I was told
the client wanted to offer me the position. It’s with an
engineering consultancy I’ve always admired. I handed
in my one week notice as I was still on probation. It felt
like a weight was lifted off my shoulders.
I thank God for Pastor Matthew and Pastor Yemisi
Ashimolowo. Thank you for following the calling of
God for your lives. Miracles happen at The River!

I was shaken to my core because a few days before, a
recruiter phoned me and said: “I saw your CV on our
database and my client needs your set of skills”.
My current role was permanent but with a lower salary;
the new position was a contract job. During that week
I had a Skype interview, the next day I was told the
client would like to interview me in person. I didn’t
know whether to go for the interview. I wondered what
would happen if I don’t get through.
DIVINE DELIVERANCE
I
attended The River on Thursday 1 February.
I responded to Pastor Matthew’s revelation
that there were people in the service who were
experience ‘pain inside the bone’. I had a painful
ankle and felt severe pain when I put pressure on it,
especially going up and down the stairs.
I left after the service, claiming my healing but still
felt the pain. The following morning I woke up and
stretched my legs. I felt my ankle bone click into place
- I was unaware that this was the cause of the pain. The
pain has disappeared and I can now walk with ease.
During the same service that I went forward for
healing Pastor Matthew asked everyone called Tony or
Anthony to come to the altar.
