    An evangelist boasted that his God was more powerful than the gods of a village. During his crusade, heavy rains began, which the evangelist said would not happen if he was truly a man of God. The rains continued and the crowd left. Distraught, the evangelist cursed God in a bar. The village fetish priest approached and said he had tried to kill the evangelist with his gun, but the rains prevented it, revealing the evangelist's God to be more powerful. The priest now wanted to follow this God. The evangelist was ashamed, realizing he should have trusted God's plan.

    Has God Let You Down?

    By Daily Dew on Oct 08, 2014 12:47 am


    One day a local evangelist bragged during a crusade that his God was more powerful than all the
    other gods in the town and the powers that the villagers worshiped put together. Just then, rainstorm
    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 wasnt a
    man of God; he would stop preaching. Before he finished speaking, the rains began to hit the
    crusade grounds so vehemently, without regard to his declarations. The whole town left the crusade
    ground for their houses, shaking their heads in 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 bar 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, 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 yesterday. 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 couldnt. 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 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 so that I couldnt 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 Ive
    been looking for you since then. I want to follow this your God!
    The ex-evangelist bowed his head in shame.
    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
    doesnt 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.

    Meditation: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your
    ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
    You will succeed in Jesus Name!
