Answer to the Prayer !! Renewal story

*This story touched me a lot, and I want to share it with you.*

*The theme was: HOLD ON TO CHRIST:*

*A Pastor was ministering in a remote area where he had to trek each Sunday for 4 hours through thick forest, and to make it on time, he had to start travelling on foot from 4:00 am.* 

*One Sunday morning, as the Pastor was in the midst of the forest, thunder announced rains. He knelt down and prayed to God to hold the rains back until he reached the parish and to protect his pastoral vestments, his Bible and communion. But after prayer, the rains started pouring heavily. He reached the parish badly soacked by the rains. He preached but with discouragement because to him, God had not answered  his prayers.*

*Back home, he could not even eat. He was contemplating whether to resign or continue because he could no longer serve a God who does not answer prayers. He believed his prayers were not effective and did not match  his preaching.*

*While he was reflecting on the decision to take, three young men entered his home and said to him: "Pastor, we came to testify and assure u that you should continue serving your God for He is a living God."*

*The pastor changed his attitude and was eager to know more. They showed him money and told him they'd been paid to kill him because his prayers and preachings were disturbing the witches, wizards, sorcerers and occultists in this community.*

*That they were in the forest waiting for him to shoot him when from nowhere and in the midst of the dry season, heavy rains started pouring and wet the gun powder they were to use. They were shocked by this event. They were holding guns in their hands as they watched the pastor pass them with no power to accomplish their awful mission.*

*After hearing this, the Pastor knelt down, thanked God and committed to serve Him for the rest of his life and said, he has a God that will never fail him.*

*Do you have a God that always answers your prayers the way you want?*

*Draw your own lesson. The truth is: GOD ANSWERS PRAYER.*

*Be blessed and Hold on to Christ. Share this if you were touched and inspired like I just did.*  

 *Shalom..!!*

Someone graduated at the age of 22, 

 but waited 5 years before securing a good job!

and lived to 90 years.

but Trump starts at 70. 

Absolutely everyone in this world works based on their Time Zone. 

People around you might seem to go ahead of you,

But everyone is running their own RACE, in their own TIME. 

Don’t envy them or mock them. 

They are in their TIME ZONE, and you are in yours! 

Life is about waiting for the right moment to act. 

So, RELAX. 

You’re not LATE. 

You’re not EARLY. 

You are very much ON TIME, and in your TIME ZONE Destiny set up for you.

God never fails. . !!

Once there was a man who *asked God* for a Butterfly and a flower.

But *instead* God gave him a cactus and a caterpillar.

The *man was sad*. He didn't understand why his request was mistaken.

Then *he Thought*:
Oh well *God has many people to care for...*

and *decided not to question*.

After some time, the man went to check up on his request that he had left forgotten.

*To his surprise*,

from the thorny and ugly cactus a beautiful flower had grown.

and the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed into the most beautiful butterfly.

You can be sure that *He will give you what you need at the appropriate time.*

What you want is not always what you get.

*God never fails to grant our petitions*, so keep on going for Him without doubting nor murmuring.

*GOD gives the very best to those who leave the choices to HIM*
