"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."Rom. 12:21
A famous missionary, Christy Wilson, experienced fierce opposition in
Afghanistan from the Islamic authorities during the seventies. However, just
before harvest, a massive snail population explosion threatened the nation with
severe crop damage. Sufficient quantities of poison could not be obtained in
time to save thousands of tons of grain still in the fields. Then God gave
Christy Wilson a brilliant idea. Perhaps his specially imported ducks could be
distributed to farms as a feasibility test to see if they could naturally
eradicate the snail problem. Desperate to try any solution, the agricultural
authorities issued permission.
Within weeks visible proof of the ducks effectiveness became evident to all.
Thousands of ducks were dispersed throughout the whole country. The nation was
saved from a large scale famine through the missionary's ducks. Soon, the
missionary was given special commendation from the President granting special
powers to conduct his ministry without hindrance. God used the missionary's good
will to overcome a hostile people, environment, and circumstance.
THE FORCES OF GOOD, LOVE, & SERVICE ARE ALWAYS GREATER THAN EVIL.
"Prayer © Lord grant us the conviction that good, love, & service will always
triumph over the forces of darkness.
