TESCO - God Answers Prayer!

A short two months after Tesco announced a £30,000 gift to the 2012 London ‘Gay Pride’ (aka ‘World Pride’) they have posted the worse Christmas trading figures of all the ‘big four’ supermarkets, leading to a 14% drop in their share price.

The analysts blame Tesco’s doomed ‘Big Price Drop’ idea.  But we say God has answered our prayers for confusion in the Tesco boardroom.  Their announcement of the ‘Gay Pride’ money came at the worst possible time for them.  It meant we were able to mount a campaign of prayer and action, with emailing to their directors and leafleting at Tesco stores at what should have been their busiest time of the year.  We reckon thousands have boycotted Tesco.

I ask you, Is God alive?  Is He at work in His world?  Does He answer the prayers of the saints? Of course, He does.  The poor blinded TESCO managers blame some decision they made about their big price drop idea, but that may well have been part of it. Indeed, God used this very mechanism to embarrass TESCO managers and directors at a time when they would have needed increased sales at the 'harvest time' for most businesses.  The sovereign God judged TESCO for its promotion of immorality, and its decided neglect in supporting those whose need is great and real.

This will encourage us to pray on and to work hard in the Lord's Kingdom.  He rules over all.  Our witness, whether at TESCO stores, by emails to senior managers, or whatever, has been owned and blessed by our Lord. If He did that now, just wait and see what he will yet do.
