YOUR SALVATION IS NOT FOR SALE
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? - (Mark 8:36)
READ: Matthew 26:15, 27:3-5
In today's world, many people are selling their salvation for all kinds of mundane things. Some have sold their salvation for money, while others have sold it for fame or positions. There is, however, nothing in this world that is worth trading your salvation for. Anything that a person wants to acquire that will require the person to commit a sin is a trap of the enemy to get the fellow to sell his or her salvation and end up in hell. In Matthew 16:26, Jesus asked His disciples, "For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" These questions still apply to us today. There is no gain in trading the salvation of your soul for anything because nothing in this world is as precious as your soul.
Esau is an example of someone who traded something precious for something mundane and temporary. In Genesis 25:29-34, he chose to despise his privileged position in his father's house for just a bowl of pottage. He sold his birthright so cheaply just because he was hungry, and in Hebrews 12:17, the Bible says that he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. In like manner, Judas sold his salvation for money in today's Bible reading. He threw everything he had learnt from Jesus down the drain for 30 pieces of silver. Whatever lures a person to trade his or her salvation only wants to destroy the fellow. It might offer immediate pleasure and instant gratification, but the devil ultimately aims to use it to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10).
One way the devil tries to lure believers into trading their salvation is by making them believe that some sins are not as important as others and telling them that such sins do not matter. However, there is no act of sin that is not significant; every sinful act matters in God's sight. Every little compromise is a step out of His protective and merciful covering. Ecclesiastes 10:8 says that a serpent will bite whoever breaks a hedge. In other words, sin exposes a fellow to the attack of the enemy.
Beloved, do not toy with sin because it only offers a one-way ticket to hell. I pray that you will not trade the salvation of your soul for anything in the world, in Jesus' name.
KEY POINT:
Nothing is worth losing the salvation of your soul over.

#ATIKU2027: BREAKING!!! President Bola Tinubu Betrays The Entire Northern Region; Scatters The Political Structure Built By Late President Muhammadu Buhari; As The Very Marginalised Northerners Vow To Respond And Punish The 2027 APC Presidential Candidate With Their Massive Decisive Winning Votes At The 2027 Polls
Emerging reports reaching "Atiku Is For The People" global movement on Friday, show that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has, since May 2023, systematically dismantled the political structure he inherited from late former President Muhammadu Buhari's administration, and replaced it with a new power base built around his own Loyalists.
Across Federal Ministries, Agencies and the All Progressives Congress, APC, key figures associated with the 8 years of President Buhari’s Federal Government, have been eased out, criminally investigated or sidelined.
For Northern Nigeria, which delivered the decisive votes that kept the APC in power in 2015 and 2019, the message is clear. The alliance has changed; and ahead of 2027, the signs from Kano, Kaduna and Katsina States, as well as the Middle Belt region, point to a major voter re-alignment.
The pattern started within the first year of the President Tinubu administration. Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, was nominated as Minister, but failed the Senate's screening, over what was termed as security concerns. He has since early 2026, been cooling off in detention, for other criminal allegations by the President Tinubu administration.
Former Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, was not reappointed by the President Tinubu administration in any capacity. Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Boss Mustapha, was mentioned in reports by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on COVID-19 and palliative funds, and has faced questionings.
Former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Godwin Emefiele, was arrested in June 2023, and is currently facing multiple criminal charges.
Former Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami, SAN, left Office in 2023, and has since faced public scrutiny over decisions taken during his tenure, including assets recovery and the handling of high-profile cases, by the President Tinubu administration.
Former Minister of Labour, Dr. Chris Ngige, was not returned to the cabinet, nor appointed in any other capacity.
Former Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari, exited the Federal Government and was not invited back. Former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, is facing criminal charges related to a coup plot allegation.
These were central pillars of the Buhari Presidency and the APC coalition. Their removal was not random. It reflects a deliberate move by President Tinubu to break from the previous structure and consolidate power around his own.
What has replaced the President Buhari structure is governance run through a narrow network of personal Loyalists, mostly from the South-West, and Technocrats without independent political bases.
Decisions on appointments and economic policy now flow from this circle. State Governors and Party Leaders who do not align, complain of reduced access and resources. Within the APC, the sense is that the government is now driving the party, and not the other way round.
For 8 years, the North was told it was a co-owner of the APC project. Today, many Northern Stakeholders feel reduced to spectators under President Tinubu's leadership.
Northern voters are pragmatic. In 2015, they voted out the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. In 2023, they gave the APC another chance, but with reduced margins in Kano, Kaduna and Katsina States, according to INEC's results.
Talks are already ongoing across the North, about aligning with His Excellency, former Vice President and 2027 Presidential Candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Atiku Abubakar, who promises security, economic relief, among other needs.

NASARAWA POLICE COMMAND FOILS KIDNAPPING IN AKWANGA LG; RESCUES FOUR VICTIMS
The Nasarawa State Police Command has successfully foiled a kidnapping operation and rescued four kidnapped victims during a swift tactical response by police operatives attached to Andaha Division, Akwanga Local Government Area.
According to a statement by the command's public Relations Officer, SP Rahman Nansel, the incident occurred on the 21st of July, 2026, at about 9:40 p.m., following a distress call reporting that suspected kidnappers were operating around Megona Filling Station, Andaha, along the Akwanga–Jos Road.
The Divisional Police Officer immediately mobilised and led a team of operatives to the scene. On sighting the police, the armed hoodlums opened fire on the operatives, leading to a gun duel. However, the police responded with superior tactical firepower, forcing the criminals to abandon their victims and flee into the surrounding bush with varying degrees of injuries.
The four kidnapped victims were rescued unhurt, while several provisions believed to have been stolen from a nearby provision store were recovered and taken into police custody.
The Commissioner of Police, Nasarawa State Command, CP Shetima Jauro Mohammed has commended the gallantry and swift response of the operatives, describing the rescue as a testament to the Command's unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property.
The Commissioner has ordered an intensive manhunt for the fleeing suspects and directed that all available operational and intelligence assets be deployed to ensure their immediate arrest and prosecution.
The ongoing operation is being conducted in collaboration with the military, local vigilante groups, and hunters, with sustained bush-combing operations currently underway to apprehend the criminals.
The Command urges members of the public to remain vigilant and continue to provide timely and credible information that will aid security agencies in combating crime across the State.

Jesus never preached prosperity. Because in the Kingdom, prosperity is the culture. Prince William of England will never call money a blessing. Why? Because he's born into royalty. It's the lifestyle!
