So I was at the bank to use the ATM machine and there was a pretty long queue.
I jejely walked up to the last man on it, tapped him on the shoulder and politely asked:
'are you the last'?
He snapped at me; 'of course not. I am not the last, you are the last'.
I didn't think much of it. I thanked him and joined the queue, eventually did my thing and left.
Several weeks later, I was at the mall and got into the elevator.
There was a lady in it already and I smiled at her and politely asked; 'are you going down?'
Fireeeeee!!!!
She was visibly upset as she turned to me and said;
"GOD FORBID, I AM NOT GOING DOWN.
I can never go down, instead my enemies will go down.
Any man that says I will go down, will go down for my sake because the Bible said.............................|"
She went on and on till I go out on the first floor. I was shaken and confused, I kept wondering how I might have upset her.
When I shared the story with a friend, i finally understood.
Apparently, as Christians, we must never utter negative words about ourselves and we must reject all negative words spoken about us.
Jesuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!
That was when it dawned on me that waswhat the guy at the ATM queue meant by he was not the last.
Hmmmmmm, Nigeria, I dey hail oooo!!!!
