Divine Direction in Exams by The Prophet

I want to sincerely thank God for His mercy and faithfulness over my life. He’s been such an amazing Father — too faithful to fail.

There’s a professional programme I’ve been running alongside my schoolwork. It hasn’t been easy at all, combining it with a very demanding department, but God came through for me. I passed the first three stages of the programme, back-to-back, without any delay. Got certified; everything went smoothly, and everyone was happy.

Then came the next stage, which is a five-stage programme. I attended tutorials, read, and lived with a lot of pressure from various areas. Even those teaching us sometimes said very discouraging things, telling us stories about how someone failed and all. It was really discouraging.

When the exam came, I wrote it, but I failed all four courses.

I was so down. At that point in my life, I was already battling anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. Adding the failure on top of that felt like war. I decided to split the courses and re-sit two at a time. At the second attempt, I passed one and failed the other. And honestly, I wrote that one with little passion.

This year, I made up my mind to write the exam again. My parents advised me to take just two papers or even one. But thank God for the messages of faith I’ve been hearing in this house (The SWAT Nations Church), those messages really boosted up my spirit.

I told my parents I was going to write all three remaining papers and they said I should since I've already made up my mind.

Now, here’s where the testimony gets really interesting…

First day of the exam, I opened the question paper, and the compulsory question was from the topic I knew best in that course! Just the night before, I had been disturbing my tutor about that exact topic, as if I knew it would come out. The other questions too were from the topics I read before leaving my room that morning. I was so surprised and happy at the same time because it was as if they knew what I knew best.

On the second day, there was a topic I had never read before. But two days before the exam, something kept pushing me to read it but I didn’t. On the morning of the exam, while travelling to the exam centre, something just came over me, and I found myself reading that exact topic. With God’s help, I grasped the key parts. Lo and behold, that was the exact topic for the compulsory question again! I just laughed, because this was clearly God.

Last paper in the afternoon, I tried revising with a friend but couldn’t focus. I left and went to where our bus was parked. While skimming through my textbook, I saw another topic I’d never read before. Again, something told me, “Stop and read this.” People were already entering the hall, but I just sat down, relaxed, not revising but reading. Imagine reading a topic when people are already entering, not in a rush, but very relaxed. I read that topic from scratch and after reading about three subtopics, I closed the book and went in. Guess what? That topic was the compulsory question again! I couldn’t help but smile. I knew that was God again, orchestrating everything.

Fast forward to Thursday night, my friend messaged me that the results were out. I checked my name on the list, but I couldn’t find it. I started panicking. I cried. I messaged my friend. Somehow, I eventually slept. The next morning, she said the results had been uploaded to the portal. With cold, shaky hands, I logged in… and God did it!

I passed all three papers! And not just scraped through, I exceeded my expectations. I was praying for 50 (the pass mark), but God gave me way more than that!

If not for God, I don’t know how my results would have been. I just want to say thank you, Jesus. I also want to thank my man of God, The Prophet Usen MJ. Thank you so much for your prayers. When I went to see him and mentioned my exam, he just said, “Don’t worry, you’ve passed already.” And truly, to God be the glory, I passed.

Thank you, Pastor. Long live the SWAT Nations church.
