"Going to church to serve God every Sunday is my happiest day after six days of work," said Wang Huilin in an interview.
Wang Huilin, who became a Christian in 2002, gained victory through the Lord in the difficult workplace.
"If I hadn't come to the church and believed in the Lord, I would still idle away my days with many difficulties and no achievements. If the Lord hadn't given me grace, I wouldn't be as happy and healthy as I am now. In the journey of life, gaining victory through the Lord let me have optimism and an enterprising spirit in my work, and provide a happy life for my family of three people. Thank God!"
I. Successful to get rid of depression
In 2002, which was 19 years ago, Wang completely turned to a new life. The experience of that year is still fresh in her mind.
With her physical discomfort and many frustrations in her work, she, approaching 30 at that time, became depressed and frustrated. Wang often stayed at home all day and didn't want to go out for anything. This caused her to be particularly grumpy. Her husband could only take care of all family stuff while working. She said, "My home was a mess in the first half of 2002."
One day in May 2002, an aunt of hers came to visit her. When she saw the chaotic home and her faintness, she said, "Come with me to church and believe in Jesus. Maybe only God can change you."
It was on that day she followed her aunt to the church. When they arrived, the choir was rehearsing hymns. She sat there, hearing beautiful songs that she had never heard before like a gurgling stream, feeling relaxation she never experienced before. The melodies aroused her desire for a better life.
"From then on, I ran to the church whenever I had the time. Although I can't read music or sing, I especially like to stay in the joyful atmosphere of the church choir. In every rehearsal, the beautiful melody and touching lyrics of the hymn made me feel happy like a bird flying into the spring woods. In this way, I began to learn to sing hymns with others, and continued to practice hard after I went home," she explained.
After some learning, Wang passed the examination and officially joined the church choir. It is also wonderful that her physical discomfort and bad temper for over half a year vanished. One day in July of that year, Wang came to Wootchuen Church on the south bank of the Weihe River in the urban area, and was baptized with many seekers from the whole city and became a Christian.
II. She gained a firm foothold in a job.
"Thanks to my heavenly father for choosing me to be his child in the vast sea of people." Wang sighed. After serving in the choir for eight years, she encountered another problem in 2010. At that time she was a kindergarten teacher, working shifts in the morning and evening, she was often unable to participate in the choir practice on Mondays and Wednesdays. As she could only choose work or serve in the choir, Wang resolutely quit her job as a stable and well-paid preschool teacher and got a job in an insurance company with free time.
Wang worked as a policy salesperson in an insurance company. In her new job, she has always been strict with herself, being honest and doing things seriously according to the Bible. In only a short time, her work life had greatly improved. She was able to complete the work tasks according to the planned schedule, got along well with her colleagues, and gradually was able to independently win big orders assigned by the company. In various appraisals, her performance and the number of policy contracts signed often came out on top, and she has been commended and rewarded by the company on many occasions. She also shared her working methods and experiences in several exchange meetings.
"I know that it is the wisdom and drive that the Lord has given me so that I can gain a firm foothold in my new job in a short time."
Working hours in insurance companies are relatively loose, so Wang can arrange her time freely as needed. She no longer delayed in serving God in the church choir. She also had the time to do housework and accompany her son in completing his study and homework.
"I know this is the grace and power of God. If it wasn't for God's help, I couldn't have done this job for ten years by now."
III. She exploded superstition by outperforming other colleagues.
At one time, the company made a large-scale policy promotion at the end of the year. In order to improve the contract signing conversion rate, the leaders repeatedly stressed that the customers should be told that this policy product has been blessed by the leadership of the whole company in a mountain temple with flourishing incense, and it has also been consecrated. The company even stipulated that this must be emphasized when meeting customers. The purpose was to convince customers that this policy product is possessed by gods and has supernatural abilities.
When Wang heard this, she thought of the first two of the Ten Commandments, "First, you shall have no other gods before Me and the second one is that you shall make no idols."
"I think I am a Christian, and I can't say blasphemous words according to the requirements of the company. Because I know that what I believe in is the only true God with supreme glory."
After the meeting, Wang immediately went to the office and said to the leader, "I am a Christian and I believe in Jesus Christ. I can't tell customers such things as praying to Buddha and consecration." The leader accepted this but stressed that she must show her achievements.
Before going to work every day, she would kneel down at home and pray to God for his guidance and supply. In every product promotion, she would not confuse things, but introduce products as they were and answer every question raised by customers.
Amazingly, after the sales promotion, Wang broke her record in the policy performance, outperforming others in the task and ranking top again. Later, some colleagues quietly asked her about what her secrets were. Wang proudly said, "I have the supreme true God to lead me and help me!" The colleagues were surprised at the wonderful god she believed in.

“每逢礼拜天去教会侍奉神,是我每周在职场紧张奔波六天后最快乐的一天。”这是王惠林接受采访时说的第一句话。
“要不是来到教会信了主,我至今仍然在职场里既艰难也毫无建树地度着日子。要不是主给了我恩典,我不会有现在这样的喜乐和健康。在人生旅途中,靠主得胜,让我有了在职场积极向上的乐观进取心;靠主得胜,主赐给了我一家三口人的快乐幸福生活,感谢神!”这是王惠林姊妹如今在艰难职场沉浮中,靠主一次次得胜的真实经历。
一、靠主得胜,脱离消沉
十九年前的2002年,是王生命彻底翻转走向全新生活的一年。那一年的经历,她仍历历在目。
那一年她已快而立之年,身体不适加上职场工作上的多次失意,她心情低落,灰心丧气,常常整天呆在家里不愿出门,也不愿见人。这样的心理状态,又导致她脾气格外暴躁。丈夫只能一边工作一边照顾一家三口。她说,“我的家在2002年上半年可以说就是一团乱麻。”
2002年5月的一天,王的一位婶婶来家看望她。当看到乱乱的家,看到有气无力的她,她说:“跟我去教会信耶稣吧,也许只有神才能改变你现在这样状态。”
也就是这一天她跟着婶婶来到了教会。当时诗班正在排练赞美诗歌,她坐在一旁,一首首从来没有听过的优美歌曲像潺潺溪水流进她的干枯心田,感到心身从未有过的放松。那一曲曲如羽拨心的旋律唤醒了她对美好生活的渴望。
“从那后,只要有时间我就朝教会跑。虽然我不识谱,也不会唱歌,但我特别喜欢待在教会诗班这种喜乐的氛围中。在参加诗班每次排练时,赞美诗的动听旋律和感人歌词,让我如同鸟儿飞进了春天的树林感到快乐无比。就这样,我每次去后跟着大家开始学唱赞美诗,回家后继续刻苦练习。 ”
经过一段时间学唱后,王通过诗班老师的考试,正式加入了教会诗班。说来也很奇妙,困惑她半年多的身体不适、脾气暴躁竟无影无踪了。在当年七月份的一天,王来到市区渭河南岸的活泉堂,与全市城乡来的众多弟兄姊妹一块受了洗,成了一名基督徒。
二、靠主得胜,在职场中站稳脚跟
“感谢天父在茫茫人海中,拣选了我成为祂的孩子。”王感叹道。在诗班侍奉八年后,2010年她又遇到了一个问题。当时她是一名幼儿园教师,早晚轮班,常常无法参加诗班每逢周一、周三晚上的练习。在面对二者必须选一的情况下,王惠林毅然辞掉了工作稳定、收入颇丰的幼儿教师工作,重新去应聘了一份时间相对宽松、自由的保险公司工作。
王在保险公司做保单推销业务。在新的工作岗位上,她一直严格要求自己,依照圣经上所教导的去诚实作人,认真作事。不长时间,工作上就有了起色。她能够按计划进度完成工作任务,与同事相处融洽,渐渐也能独当一面完成公司交给的大单客户任务。 在种种考核评比中,她的业绩和保单签约量常常名列前矛,受到公司多次表彰和奖励,还在好几次经验交流会上分享了工作方法和成功经验。“我知道,这都是主赐给了我智慧和干劲,让我在新工作中不长时间站稳了脚跟。 ”
在保险公司上班时间相对宽松,王也能按需要自由安排时间。在教会诗班侍奉神都没有耽误。同时,也有时间做好家务、陪儿子读书做作业。
“我知道这都是神的恩典和大能。若不是神的帮助,我这份工作做不到至今的十年之久。”
三、靠主得胜,破除迷信
有一年,公司在年底做一个大型的保单推销话动。为了提高客户签单率,领导一再强调,要对客户讲这款保单产品,是经过全公司领导层集体在某某香火旺盛的山上庙宇祈过福的,也是开过光的。公司甚至规定:在与客户面谈时,必须着重强调这一点。目的是让客户相信这款保单产品有神灵附体,具有超自然的能力。
当听到领导这样说,王的脑海里立即闪出十条诫命的前两条:“一、除上帝以外,不可有别的神;二,不可拜偶像。”
“我想自己是一名基督徒,不能按公司的要求去说亵渎神的话。因我知道,自己所信仰的是独一至高荣耀的真神。”
会议结束后,王马上去办公室对领导说,“我是一名基督徒,我信的是耶稣基督。祈福、开光这类话我不能对客户说。”领导答应了她,但同时强调:她必须拿出业绩来。
每天上班出发前,她都会在家跪下来向神祷告,求主带领和供应。在每一份产品推销中,她不故弄玄虚,而是实事求是地向客户介绍产品,回答客户提出的每个问题。
奇妙的是,当这次推销活动结束后,王惠林的保单业绩突破了往年的销售量,超额完成任务并且再次名列前矛。事后,有同事悄悄问,有什么秘密诀窍去达到这种好业绩。王自豪的对她说:“我有至高无上的真神带领我、帮助我呀!”同事惊讶她信的神真奇妙。(未完待续)
