Joel 2:7 They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks. 8 They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, They are not cut down.

The reason for jealousy and bitterness is because people don't understand the race of life. When you understand that God has called you into His eternal purposes, and the rules of the race is known, you will not only run with patience, but also follow the pattern. In the above scripture, they run on their lane, not breaking of ranks, they don't push one another, because they realized that the goal is one.

2Timothy 2:5 And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

In this Kingdom, we don't push others to get by. Infact, when you follow the rules and stay on your lane, no matter what the enemies try to do against you, it does not prosper or have effect on your life. Run on your lane and see how God defend you. Many people don't like to fall in line or stay under authority, they want to do things the way they like. But you must run according to rules.

No athletes shows up on their own, someone must bring them, a coach, or through a national nomination. Some people come and represent a corporation etc. To run effectively and acceptably, you must run according to the rule. Where you are currently serving, put your very best into it. Wherever you are now, run the race set before you, looking unto Jesus the Author and the Finisher of our faith.
