The Gedeo Revelation

Friday, July 21, 2023

The Gedeo people of Ethiopia believed in a benevolent, omnipotent, creator god named Mageno, but they spent more time appeasing an evil spirit named Sheit'an. They believed there was distance between them and their god. One day, a man named Warrasa prayed directly to Mageno that he would reveal himself. He saw a vision of two white men and heard a voice saying "they will bring you a message from Mageno." Eight years passed. In 1948, two Canadian missionaries came to the town where Warrasa lived. He received them according to his vision, and led 40,000 of his people to the God of the Gospel. Ephesians 2:10 says "We're created in Messiah for good works, which God prepared beforehand." These missionaries had no idea how God had prepared their way. Set yourself to do God's will. He'll prepare the way before you. It's true for the Gedeo people. It's true for the missionaries, and it is true for you also. When you commit yourself to do His will, the ground will be prepared, and you'll find it was waiting for you all along to arrive.
