The pastor and the herbalist

-



 In a quiet village surrounded by thick forest, there lived a respected pastor known for his deep faith and unwavering devotion to God. 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 called the people together and encouraged them to trust in God, reminding them that no power is greater than the name of Jesus.

The herbalist prepared his charms and incantations, determined to prove his strength. But the pastor went into prayer, fasting and calling on the name of Jesus Christ. When the day of confrontation came, the atmosphere was tense. The herbalist performed his rituals, but nothing happened. The pastor stood firm, declaring, “In the name of Jesus, every evil power is defeated!”

Suddenly, the herbalist’s confidence began to fade. His charms failed, and his strength weakened. The power of God prevailed, and the villagers witnessed it with awe. The herbalist, humbled, realized that there is no power greater than God.

From that day on, peace returned to the village. The pastor’s faith had brought victory, proving that truly, in the name of Jesus, all powers bow.

He often taught about patience, wisdom , and seeking God before making decisions. One Sunday after service, he called me aside and said, “Daniel, be careful of quick money opportunities . Pray before you enter any business. Not everything that shines is gold.” At that moment, I smiled and nodded, but deep inside, I felt I already knew what I was doing. I believed I was smart enough to recognize good opportunities without needing too much spiritual caution. A few weeks later, a friend introduced me to a business investment platform that promised fast and huge returns. They said if I invested my money, I would double it within two weeks. Everything looked professional. They had a website, customer service, ...

There was an old man nicknamed smart, he has a son that was sick and later died of the sickness. One of the popular herbalist was sent for at the other village to help them raise the child, when he arrived, they pleased with him to help them see to it. The man laughed and told them not to worry that in few minutes, the boy would come back to life. The herbalist made incantations from morning to evening to bring back the deceased, all was to no avail, fortunately, a young man of God was passing by, when he saw how much people gathered, he moved close to them to see what was happening. After they narrated everything to him he said"all power in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus, if you believe you would see the power of God".
