A Modern Day Miracle

Where could you find an example of true faith in the twentieth century? ‘Faith Like Potatoes’ to plant in El Nino, in drought, in dust a never grown before potato crop? Angus Buchan, a farmer, in Durban South Africa declared before 35,000 “To hell with El Nino! We are going to plant this year! And we are going to plant potatoes.” Fool or Man of Faith? The Wisdom Of The Modern World Scientists warned farmers not to plant! “Do not plant this season unless you have irrigation.” Angus had none! Planting planting potatoes in dust would be a massive massive risk! It would require a miracle! Did Angus expect a miracle? Or was he an experienced potato farmer? Angus was a maize and cattle farmer! He had never grown potatoes! No farmer could grow potatoes in drought! Not in drought without irrigation! But all farmers and men of faith know a crop, a harvest is grown, from a seed, a seed of planted faith. Angus prayed and prayed during the planting and he knew; in his heart that the Lord; wanted him to plant potatoes. Angus expected a modern day miracle from God! God has complained men lack faith! To dream their dreams large enough! Angus planted potatoes in dust on his farm in drought! Without irrigation without water on his farm in faith! Angus hired two extra farms, planted potatoes in their dust! If the potato crop failed, Angus would loose everything! “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.” Hebrews 11: 1. Potatoes grow under the ground and are not seen until the harvest! Angus planted in faith; reaped a miracle of faith! “because the righteous one will live by reason of faith.” Galatians 3: 11. “The condition for a miracle is difficulty, however the condition for a great miracle is not difficulty, but impossibility.” Angus Buchan “Seek and you shall find knock and the door shall be opened to you.” Copyright © Terence George Craddock
