[6] The mind governed by the flesh is *****, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. [7] The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. [8] Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.

I am sure you understand what the word of God is saying,, our flesh most times will always crave for things that are against the will of God.

But God is telling us today to always be spiritually minded if we want long life and peace, because to be carnally minded is *****. May God have mercy on us good morning.

Afrobeats star Davido has shown off two brand-new customized Ferrari cars reportedly worth more than $4 million combined.

The singer took to social media to flaunt the matching luxury rides, a Ferrari Roma and a Ferrari Purosangue, both customized by VENUUM Black.

Sharing photos of the cars, Davido simply captioned the post: “Stock is boring.”

The Ferrari Purosangue is one of the marque’s V12 models, while the Roma was among Ferrari’s recently phased-out models.

The Bayelsa State Police Command has confirmed the abduction of a toddler who reportedly went missing from the children’s department of a Catholic church in the state on June 21, 2026.

Speaking to SaharaReporters, the command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Musa Mohammed, confirmed that the incident was formally reported to the police.

“I have confirmed that the matter is true. It was truly reported and the police is on it,” Mohammed said.

When asked whether the police had located the current whereabouts of the missing toddler, the PPRO declined to disclose details, citing the ongoing investigation.

“You know if a matter is under investigation, the police is not allowed to release all information to the public that might jeopardize our work. But what I can assure you is that we are working tirelessly to rescue the toddler and to arrest and possibly arraign the suspects behind this.”

In a chat with activist, Livinus Nwosu, the father of the missing child claimed she disappeared after himself and his wife took her to church and handed her over to the children’s department during a service. According to Festus, the toddler was handed over to a teacher in the children’s department.

He said the family returned after the church service to collect their daughter but were allegedly told that she could not be found.

The distraught father said the teacher initially confirmed that the child had been handed over to him but could not account for her whereabouts.

He said the family subsequently reported the matter at a police station, where some individuals connected to the incident were taken in for questioning before being released.

He mentioned that his family petitioned authorities in Abuja and sought the intervention of senior police authorities over the matter.

He appealed to Nigerians to help him demand the safe rescue of his child.

Life is a secret of suffering, of struggling, of sorrow, of selfishness and pain. Life is also a secret of goodness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of selflessness and love.

The secret of goodness can be used to pay for the secret of suffering. The secret of kindness can be used to pay for the secret of ceaseless struggles. The secret of selflessness can be used to pay for the secret of selfishness.

The secret of forgiveness can be used to pay for the secret of sorrow. The secret of love can be used to pay for the secret of pain.

The secret of suffering, struggling, sorrow, selfishness and pain are inevitable and ineluctable - they are far beyond our human capacity or control, and also far beyond our human comprehension.

But the secret of goodness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of selflessness and of love are absolutely under our control. We can use each as a legal tender for the exchange of our suffering, struggling, sorrow, selfishness and pain.

Only those who have mastered the secret of goodness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of selflessness and love can be able to pay, unravel, demystify and overcome the secret of the suffering, the struggling, the sorrow, the selfishness and the pain in their lives.

Kindness may not save you from suffering, but it gives you the strength to bear it with courage till the very end.

Forgiveness may not literally erase the offence, but it would free your soul from self imposed captivity. Forgiveness frees your soul from sorrow.

Selflessness may not eradicate selfishness from your life, but it helps to tame and curtail it to an imperceptible level, and exhibits the humanity in you.

Love can never prevent you from experiencing pain, but it empowers, energizes and endows you with the capacity to endure your prison of pain.

Love is not a salvation for escaping pain, but love is a succor that teaches you how to brook your pain without shouting, grumbling and complaining.

Pure Love is an anesthesia to pain. Those who truly have it are always happy, joyful and peaceful even in the middle of suffering, sorrow and pain.

Good morning.

An erotic relationship having its faulty foundation built on genuine love and gigantic hatred for one another. Both lovebirds are familiar and unfamiliar with each other.

They are both responsible for each other's happiness and also irresponsible for each other's unhappiness (sadness).

Physically and emotionally close and glued to one another like metal and magnet, but they are mentally and psychologically distant from each other like the distance between heaven and Earth.

During the night, they go romantic like Romeo and Juliet; While during the day, they go ballistic on each other like cat and rat.

The masculine figure has this uncanny desire to be wanted always, which makes the feminine figure to always feel unwanted.

He craves to be liked, accepted, connected, United and to be a lover who is lovable by his lover. But these cravings most times make her feel unwanted, disliked, disunited, unconnected and unlovable by him.

Daily they agree to disagree and agree again only to disagree, and simultaneously disrespecting each other in their unending chaotic parallel love affair. Good morning.

My life is very funny -

Anytime I close my eyes,

I see myself with famous people.

Anytime I open my eyes,

I see myself with foolish

People.

My life is very funny -

Anytime I close my eyes,

I see myself living in heaven.

Anytime I open my eyes,

I see myself dwelling in the deepest dungeon of hell!

My life is very funny -

Anytime I close my eyes,

I look rich, healthy and wealthy.

Anytime I open my eyes,

I look poor, broke and very unhealthy.

My life is very funny -

Anytime I close my eyes,

I commune with beautiful Angels.

Anytime I open my eyes,

I confront ugly devilish draconian demons.

My life is very funny -

Anytime I close my eyes,

I rule like a first class king.

Anytime I open my eyes,

I am ruled like a condemned slave.

My life is very funny -

Anytime I close my eyes,

I find myself enjoying in the palace.

Anytime I open my eyes,

I find myself enduring in a perilous prison.

My life is very funny -

Anytime I close my eyes,

I become a master to all.

Anytime I open my eyes,

I become a servant to all.

My life is very funny -

Most times I love to continuously live inside my dreams, never to wake up again!

At other times, I want my dream to be my reality and my reality to be my dream forever!

Don't be surprised if you see

Me laughing every minute of the day,

Because,

My life is very funny -

Funnier than you think.

Good morning.

You may even invite but you can never cash out but 9jawap Nigeria is a game changer no dull moment E dey play, E dey show🤣 I don cash out twice here kudos.

Apart from finding rich people, you need to keep a circle of rich people around you.

I'm not saying that you should leave those people or friends that are not really doing well. You can still spend time with them. You can discuss about your situation and how things are.

But you can't be complaining everytime about your situation. Once in a while you need to spend time with those people that are doing well. Don't joke with your circle.

Surround yourself with those people that are doing well. As I said before, those people are mostly found online.

When you surround yourself with these people, learn from them. Learn what they know and what they do.

If one of those mentors stresses you, leave them and find another one.

This one you found now stresses you, leave that one and find another and add to it but don't abandon the first ones, they can still help.

That's what I did. I even added another one recently because the other two were stressing me a little. Don't joke with your circle 👍🏼.

If you decide to learn from people first before you start, it will save you a lot of stress and failures.

Geh Geh once said "The reason you are not rich is because you don't know any rich people". Those rich people know a lot of things that other people don't know.

They have access to lots of information that other people don't have access too. That's why they know how to make money and build wealth.

If you want to become rich you need to find rich people and learn from them. You need mentors.

Finding them is not easy. You rarely see them around you. It's mostly online, on the internet that you'll find them

If you don't know people to learn from, don't worry. Just ask me. In fact, I'll start posting those people here and where to find them so that you can learn from them too 👍🏼🤔.

When this year started I had so much expectations. I wanted everything to be okay, I didn't want anything to go wrong. I tried so hard within my power to make sure everything went well.

But the problem was I didn't take it easy. I was always in a state of panic so it made me to take horrible actions.

Many things just went wrong. The year went so different than I had planned it. All the things I feared that wouldn't happen happened, plus extra.

Despite all my panicking, fear and anxiety everything still went wrong. So I asked myself what was the point of panicking so much? After a while I didn't panic again, I became calm.

My brian just reset. Maybe other circumstances also added to the calmness. I didn't worry so much again. I felt numb. I'm not afraid any more.

Maybe it's bad that I got rid of those feelings but the positive side is far greater. Now that I'm calm, I can take better actions. I can accomplish a lot with a calmer mind.

That's how life is. Despite how difficult things can be, just try and be calm. Stop trying so hard to change things you can't change.

Don't be too focused on results. Focus on the action and leave the rest for God. Just pray.

I always acted out of panic some years ago, even last year. It led to horrible results and I didn't learn. I still did the same thing this year. Now I've learnt.

Despite everything that happened I'm still grateful. I thank God. In fact, it turns out those bad things happened to be a learning experience. 🤔

So no matter how things get, try to be calm. If you've found a way to accomplish things while panicking, congratulations. But a calmer mind and steady actions always wins. 🙇🏼👍🏼

And it's not as if my situation is that bad. It's okay. It depends on your situation. I don't really know. If you have an opinion you can comment below 👇🏼.
