One day a local evangelist bragged
during a crusade that his God was
more able than all the other gods
in the town and the powers of the
universe that the villagers
worshiped put together. Just then,
rainstorm sounds started sounding
overhead, threatening the progress
of the crusade. The evangelist lifted
up his voice and declared with
confidence that if the rains fell,
then he wasn't a man of God; he
would stop preaching!
Before he could finish his bluff, the
rains began to hit the crusade
grounds so vehemently, apparently
in disregard to his declarations.
The whole town left the crusade
grounds to their houses, shaking
their heads in disappointment and
dismay.
The evangelist, so distraught and
angry, packed his belongings and
left the town the next day. On his
way through the next town, he
checked into a local drinking spot
and drank himself to stupor. As he
laid on the ground cursing God, an
old seedy looking man tapped him
gently on the shoulder.
"Man of God", the old man began.
But the evangelist quickly cut in,
"don't mention the name of God to
me. He is fake. He is unreliable. I
am no longer a believer in this
God. A God who chooses to
disgrace his servants. Leave me
alone!"
But the old man would not let him
be. He continued,"I am the fetish
priest in the village you just
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 i lifted 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 not see 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.

Have a great day!!!
