I Went to an e-bank hall few months ago. As I was about entering the hall, a lady ran ahead of me and pushed me away, so she could quickly join the long queue before I will get to the queue. I did not say anything. She felt I will stay at her back, but I was actually not there to withdraw, I came to deposit.

So I walked to the deposit machine. Lo and behold, there was not a single person on the queue, as I was the only one there.

When I had finished depositing money and was about leaving the hall, the same lady came from her long queue and apologized to me for pushing me away the other time. With sorry smile on her face; she said 'I am sorry sir for pushing you away, I thought you were coming to the queue', I just smiled and told her not to bother, that's not a big deal.

But since then, the lesson in this story keeps coming to my mind, and I decided to share it for us all to learn from.

Friends, who are you 'pushing' away and trying to out run in the race of destiny, relationship, business, ministry, career, etc?

You think you are going to the same 'queue' (destination), unknowing to you that, though your path may look alike, but your destinations are different!

How many people have had to say 'sorry' to those they pushed aside, pushed away, push down when they finally realised that that person was not actually going to the 'withdrawal machine' they were running to.

Are you reading this and you are pushing people away here and there by slandering them, hindering their progress, blocking their promotion, spoiling their good names through lies and rumour all in a bid to 'get there' before them.

I challenge you today, to take it easy. You might not be going to the same destination. It may surprise you later that with all your pushing away, they may still leave you on the 'queue' of destiny because success is not a function of who arrived first... .

Finally, are you reading this and you can feel people in your office, ministry, business, etc pushing you away so that they can get ahead of you?.

Don't worry, God will use your case to prove to them that, 'it is not of him that runeth or willeth, but of the Lord that showeth mercy......( Romans 9:16).

He will show you mercy and give you an  overtaking speed that those who are pushing you here and there will later come to tell you they are sorry.

Please, don't push anybody you meet on the same path of life, because you might not be going to the same 'machine'  (destination).
