Not far from the village, an herbalist—often called an “aberlist”—was feared for his mysterious powers and dark practices. Many villagers believed he could control spirits and influence destinies. One day, a challenge arose. The herbalist, proud of his powers, openly declared that no one in the village could stand against him. Fear spread quickly, but the pastor remained calm.

  He woke up suddenly he felt empty he tried to pray but he couldn't find his voice all he could do was cry his heart out,what was wrong? where did i miss it? He sat up and thought about it but he didn't commit any sin that will take away the presence of God from his life he wondered? He muttered a few words of prayers and tried to sleep then he heard a loud voice "DISOBEDIENCE". How will common disobedience take away the presence of God? he has been given several instructions from God which he has neglected he didn't know disobedience could deprive him of God's presence, all he could do was go on his knees cried unto God and ask for mercy, then he obeyed. Like this Man, have you been disobeying God and it just looks like mere disobedience? don't wait until God's presence depart from you before you obey Obedience is better than sacrifice.
