One day a local evangelist bragged during a crusade that his GOD was more powerful than the gods worshipped by the villagers and all powers of the universe. Just then, there was powerful rainstorm which threatened the progress of the crusade. The evangelist lifted up his voice and declared in confidence that if it rains, he wasnt a man of GOD and would stop preaching! Before he could finish his bluff, the rain 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 wretched looking man tapped him gently on the shoulder. Man of GOD, the old man began. But the evangelist quickly cut in, dont 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 preached about. 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 came with some fearful fire and power. I tried so many times to eliminate you but i couldnt. My last chance came yesterday. I had loaded my gun with gun powder laying wait on the mountaintop where i had a very clear view of you. My plan was to shoot you from a distance since i couldnt 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 which made you invisible. 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. I want to follow this your GOD! The words from the old man made the ex-evangelist bow his head in shame! Bottom line; Dear friends, It is best we trust Gods leading and not boast of ourselves but in GOD. If we decree a thing or requesting certain things of Him this month/year and it doesnt happen, we should not dishonour GOD. Just believe GOD wants HIS perfect Will to be done in ALL things. Come to think of it. Happy Independence Day Great Nigeria(ns)! Welcome to October Friends!!! :)
