“WHO *PUSHED* ME”
🐊 A man had one very beautiful daughter. When the daughter was ready for marriage, the father sent news around town that all the eligible young men should come to compete in a test which would determine who was fit to marry his daughter.
🐊 On that day, all was set, all the able-bodied young men came out. Some came with paper and biro and others with cutlasses and swords.
🐊 The rich man took them to his swimming pool and addressed the men: “Any of you who can swim from one end of this swimming pool to the other would marry my daughter.
🐊 In addition, I‘ll give him 15 million dollars, a car and a house so they can start life well. I shall be waiting to meet my son-in-law at the other end. Good luck!”
🐊 As the young men, all very excited at the prospect of winning, started taking off their shirts, a helicopter came over the pool and dropped alligators and crocodiles into the pool. Immediately, all the men turned back and started wearing their shirts again. Disappointed, some of them said, ”That’s crazy, let’s see who would marry that girl, no one will”.
🐊 All of a sudden, they heard a splash in the pool. Everybody watched in amazement as one gentleman waddled across, expertly avoiding the alligators and crocodiles.
🐊 Finally, he made it to the other side. The rich man could not believe it. He asked the young man to name anything he wanted but the man was still panting uncontrollably.
🐊 🤦🏻♂Finally, he got back to his senses and made a request saying, ”SHOW ME THE PERSON WHO PUSHED ME INSIDE THIS POOL!”
🐊 Moral 1:✍ You don’t know what you are capable of doing until you are PUSHED! Meanwhile, the Crocodiles were Rubber Crocodiles.
Moral 2: ✍ Those seeking to push you into the jaws of alligators and crocodiles may have helped you to reach your promised land!!!
🐊 Sometimes it takes going through the bad moments to bring out the BEST in us.
🐊 Trials are raw materials for Triumphant Testimonies… The push might take different dimensions: some people needed to be sacked before realizing their potentials and reaching their goals in life.
🐊 I PRAY YOU WILL GET A DIVINELY INSPIRED PUSH in your life.🐊

😰A King had a male servant who, in all circumstances always said to him; My king, do not be discouraged because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes. One day, they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the king, the servant managed to kill the animal but couldn’t prevent his majesty from losing a finger. Furious and without showing gratitude, the King said; if God was good, I would not have been attacked and lost one finger. The servant replied, ‘despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good and everything He does is perfect, He is never wrong’. Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his servant. While being taken to prison, he told the king again, God is Good & Perfect. Another day, the king left alone for another hunt and was captured by savages who use human beings for sacrifice. On the altar, the savages found out that the king didn’t have one finger in place, he was released because he was considered not “complete” to be offered to the gods. On his return to the palace, he ordered the release of his servant and said; My friend, God was really good to me. I was almost killed but for lack of a single finger, I was let go. But I have a question; If God is so good, why did He allow me to put you in prison? His servant replied; My king, if I had not been put in prison, I would have gone with you, and would have been sacrificed, because I have no missing finger. Everything God does is perfect, He is never wrong. Often we complain about life, and the negative things that happen to us, forgetting that everything happens for a purpose. God knows why you are reading this message today, please bless someone with it by sharing it. God is good and perfect!!

To my own view on this I think religion is ones belief, a personal God, a system of faith and worship and tradition is culture been passed on from generation to generation, as a way of life of a particular group of people. However, tradition and religion is inter related, if their is no religion then nothing can be called a tradition, tradition and religion works hand to hand, if it happens that tradition is just tradition and not traditional religion, then I don’t see the unity in there or believe that means it can’t be reliable and might be flexible and not strong or have a solid foundation, but when that word called religion is been attached to it then their is always unity, understanding, strong in their faith of what they believe, and it goes in a long way and pass on from father to son, mother to daughter, from generation to generation. Concludesively, religion can never be strong on it own without tradition, likewise tradition too, nothing can be thwarted from it and nothing can be added to it that is why is called traditional religion. |
