One day a local evangelist bragged during acrusade that his God
was more able than all theother gods in the town and the powers
of theuniverse that the villagers worshiped puttogether. Just
then, rainstorm sounds startedsounding overhead, threatening the
progress ofthe crusade. The evangelist lifted up his voiceand
declared with confidence that if the rains fell,then he wasn't a
man of God; he would stoppreaching!Before he could finish his
bluff, the rains began tohit the crusade grounds so
vehemently,apparently in disregard to his declarations. Thewhole
town left the crusade grounds to theirhouses, shaking their
heads in disappointmentand dismay.The evangelist, so distraught
and angry, packedhis belongings and left the town the next day.
Onhis way through the next town, he checked into alocal drinking
spot and drank himself to stupor.As he laid on the ground
cursing God, an oldseedy looking man tapped him gently on
theshoulder."Man of God", the old man began. But theevangelist
quickly cut in, "don't mention the nameof God to me. He is fake.
He is unreliable. I amno longer a believer in this God. A God
whochooses to disgrace his servants. Leave mealone!"But the old
man would not let him be. Hecontinued,"I am the fetish priest in
the village youjust preached at. During your one week stay in
that village, you destroyed all the charms i had made on the
people for 45 years. Your prayers and your words always came
with some fearful fire and power. I tried so many times to
eliminate you but i couldn't. My last chance came yesterday. I
had loaded my gun with gun powder lying wait on the mountaintop
where i had a very clear view of you. My plan was to shoot you
from a distance since i couldn't get close enough to you due to
the fire around you. But just when ilifted the gun, the rains
came from nowhere,wetting my gunpowder and covering you in a
cloud so that i couldn't even see you. All i saw was a bright
man holding a sword in front of you.I was so terrified. I
concluded that your God was indeed all powerful and Almighty.
That is why i've been looking for you since then. I want to
follow this your God!"The ex-evangelist bowed his head in
shame!Dear friends, sometimes, it is just wise for us to believe
that our Father knows the way He is taking us. We should just
trust His leading. Let our boast be in the Lord, not in
ourselves. If we decree a thing and it doesn't happen, let us no
tsee it as disappointment or dishonor from the Father. Let us
just believe that the Father wants his perfect will to be done
in all things.Share if you think it worth sharing. It
