“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.
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.

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. |
