God is love

Every morning is a test. Most men fail it before they even put their feet on the floor.

The alarm goes off, and instead of rising like a man with purpose, you tap snooze three times, stare at your phone, and let your body dictate the terms of your day. You think you’re being “realistic.” You’re not. You’re being ruled.

The Gnostics taught that the body is not the enemy, but it is a stubborn animal. It wants comfort. It wants stillness. It wants another twenty minutes under the covers. Left unchecked, it will run your life into the ground.

That’s why physical activity in the morning is not optional for men who want to lead. It is sacred. It is the daily declaration that your flesh will serve your spirit, not the other way around.

You already know what happens when you skip it. You drag through the day foggy, reactive, one step behind. You get annoyed at small problems because you have no center. And you wonder why your wife doesn’t look at you like a man she can trust. She feels it. Everyone feels it.

On the other hand, the mornings you move are different. You sweat, your heart rate spikes, and suddenly your brain is awake. You’re sharper. You carry more authority. You speak with more weight. Why? Because you’ve already proven that you can command yourself before anyone else even asked you to.

This isn’t about fitness goals. It’s about spiritual war. The Gnostics believed the material world is filled with distractions designed to keep you asleep. Every morning you either cooperate with those forces, or you crush them.

Think about it. You’re going to walk into a meeting today and expect people to listen to you. But you couldn’t even get yourself to do twenty push-ups first thing in the morning. Why should they trust you? Why should anyone?

Morning movement doesn’t just build your body. It builds your credibility. It tells your subconscious, “I am the man in charge here.” And then you carry that truth into every room you walk into.

The men who refuse this discipline are easy to spot. They’re heavy, dull, constantly trying to prove themselves with words instead of presence. They collapse into the chair instead of standing tall. They live as if gravity has already won.

The men who embrace it? They’re dangerous in the best way. They move differently. They see clearly. They lead without begging for attention.

And here is the kicker: your family already knows which one you are. Your woman feels whether you’ve conquered yourself before breakfast. Your children notice if Dad is sharp and steady or sluggish and irritated. Your team can sense if you’re carrying strength or just faking it with coffee and caffeine shakes.

So stop pretending mornings don’t matter. They are the foundation.

The body will always want to rule. The world will always tempt you to stay comfortable. But the man who moves in the morning declares his spirit is in charge.

Why the toto-colored theme

‎"Life is suffering." – Buddha
‎
‎At first glance, this may sound pessimistic. But if we look closer, it’s one of the most honest and empowering truths.
‎
‎In Buddhism, "suffering" (or *dukkha*) refers to the inevitable challenges of life — stress, change, loss, disappointment, and uncertainty. Not because life is cruel, but because it’s constantly in motion. We strive, we hope, we achieve — and still, we feel unease.
‎
‎So why would Buddha begin with this?
‎
‎Because acknowledging suffering is the first step toward wisdom.
‎
‎In business, leadership, and life, we often chase perfection — smooth projects, perfect outcomes, unbroken momentum. But growth often comes through friction. Resilience is forged in discomfort. Clarity comes from facing the hard truths.
‎
‎Instead of resisting the hard parts of life, what if we embraced them as part of the journey?
‎
‎✅ Suffering reveals what truly matters.
‎✅ It pushes us to grow beyond our comfort zone.
‎✅ It humbles us, connects us, and deepens our empathy.
‎
‎The insight is not that life is only suffering — but that freedom begins when we stop pretending it isn’t.
‎
‎I personally take it a step further to say Life is suffering and without discipline one multiplies that suffering exponentially.
‎
‎Money is not the solution to suffering
‎Power is not the solution to suffering
‎Status is not the solution to suffering
‎Only discipline is the solution to suffering
‎And According to Scott Peck, Discipline entails 4 factors;
‎1. Delaying Gratification
‎2. acceptance of Responsibility
‎3. Dedication to truth ✝️
‎4. Balance
‎
‎What are your thoughts on this perspective?

1. They Don’t Provide a Printed Receipt

A legitimate POS transaction must come with a printed or digital receipt. If an agent refuses or claims “the machine didn’t print,” be cautious. Scammers use this trick to collect money without processing the transaction.

4. Unusual Charges

Standard POS charges in Nigeria are regulated (e.g., ₦100 for ₦5,000). If a POS agent demands extra fees or charges far more than expected, it’s a red flag.

1$4 can't be red flag cos we all know cost of printing paper, I cannot be printing paper that will be torn in my present or throw away I only print on demand.
It depend on the area you are and charges above 10,000 due apply you can't expect me to collect 200 naira for 10,000 and above

For my area #200 for #5000. #300-#400 for #6k-#10k. I shock say Lagos POS ops are more reasonable

Let's be real: Jesus wasn't bound by ritual laws like the religious leaders wanted. He fulfilled the law, yes, but not through legalism. He fulfilled it by walking in perfect love, grace, and truth. Your logic and interpretation misses that completely.

If Jesus had truly been bound by ritualistic impurity, He wouldn't have allowed contact with sinners and those society labeled "unclean" He wasn't a slave to the old covenant's ritual laws. He came to fulfill the law and show the way of grace and mercy.

Jesus' holiness is not some distant, untouchable purity; but a powerful, compassionate presence that transforms uncleanness into healing and forgiveness.

Jesus wasn't a fragile religious figure afraid of getting dirty. He didn’t fear being touched by the unclean; He restored them. He didn't avoid or condemn those considered unclean; He embraced them. That alone should show you how off base your judgmental mindset is. In fact, He challenged exactly the kind of toxic thinking you are pushing.

You are using Scripture to shame people. Jesus used Scripture to restore them. Big difference.

You are not practicing Christianity. Christianity is different from Judaism. Even Judaism; you are not practicing it well; you are just selecting laws that align with your perspective. I bet you can't keep half of Judaism's laws. I have lived among Jewish people and have Jewish friends. Jews follow 600+ laws, pray several times daily, do rituals for many occasions, and recite prayers regularly, such as blessings during the hand washing ritual before meals, after using the toilet, before bedtime, and so on. Many Jews even discourage conversion unless you are truly ready. According to Judaism, Jewish laws are not meant for non-Jews; you are mainly encouraged to follow the 7 Noahide laws; that is what pertains to non-Jews.

Ritual laws like menstrual impurity belonged to the old covenant and don't apply under grace. Jesus even allowing a leper to touch Him, which was forbidden by law, says it all.

God disciplines believers to help them grow, but this discipline is not punishment for sins that have been confessed and forgiven. In Christ, by grace, God does not just forgive sins; He completely wipes them away, as if they never happened. Hebrews 8:12 tells us that God 'forgets' sins. This means forgiven sins no longer bring divine punishment or condemnation. Romans 8:1 confirms, 'There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.' God does not punish people for sins they have truly confessed and been forgiven for. God forgives, redeems, and can even empower the worst sinners to become great men and women of God.

You can choose to stick to your traditional beliefs; that's fine. But I choose truth and grace.

If even a few people reading this, especially those who have held views like yours but are open to learning, get my point, that's enough. I have made my explanation clear.

You created another Jesus, your own Jesus. And I don't care about you or your Jesus

😂Sure, anyone can do research; just like anyone can walk into a gym. But that doesn't mean they're able to lift anything.

So, why didn't you?

🤣Don't confuse dodging accountability with defending the truth. They are two very different things.

Now that you know Matthew 17:21 is right there in the NKJV, you are still dancing around instead of just owning your mistake.

You challenged both the NASB and NKJV, but to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth; especially considering your surface-level grasp of these issues; I deliberately focused on the NKJV. It shares the same manuscript base as the KJV, so there's no excuse, no confusion.

🤣Now you're just diverting and nitpicking, hoping I'll get tangled in a translation argument you clearly can't handle.

Proverbs 1:5 A wise man will hear and increase learning,
And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel

Proverbs 18:15 The heart of the prudent acquires knowledge,
And the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.

I don't do research cause I don't need any research to understand God's word. Faith takes God at His word instead of doing mental gymnastics to make it say what you want it to say.
I'm not gonna regard your half assed work cause you only delivered half of what was asked and 50% pass is fail to most people.
The NKJV has scores of verses omited and you won't agree that was done for sinister reasons, so no point in that.

Back to the main reason I mentioned you.
It may not be that she was an unmarried non-virgin that Jesus instructed her not to touch him, it may be she was just menstruating. And a menstruating woman is unclean according to the law.
Leviticus 15:19 And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.

Jesus needing to obey the whole law for all who would believe in Him alone for heaven, couldn't be found wanting especially before presenting His perfect sacrifice to the Father.
That's why even the woman with the issue of blood only touched the hem of His garments, and He still felt power leave Him. If she touched His body that would have been enough to fail the mission He came to do on earth. As I said before, we don't condemn non-virgin unmarried women but their are consequences in THIS life for Sins and if she's a believer she cannot go to hell for her sins

Merry100:
I've done extensive research, so I can confidently say that much of what you're claiming is simply not correct. I've even studied the actual Greek manuscripts behind the Bible translations and translated many verses word by word myself.

From our short dialogue, it's already clear that your understanding of these issues is surface-level. I won't go deeper, because it might only confuse or overwhelm you; and that's not my goal.

Let's stick to NKJV, since it is essentially the same as KJV in term of manuscript base. The NKJV was created to update the language of the KJV, while providing more precise translation and improved clarity while still respecting the same manuscript tradition (Textus Receptus).

The NKJV does include Matthew 17:21:

New King James Version (NKJV)
21 [a]However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

So your claim that it was "removed" from the NKJV is false. It's right there, word for word.

In John 20:17, Jesus says to Mary Magdalene:

μή μου ἅπτου

While the King James Version translates this as "Touch me not," this rendering is not precise when examined in the original Greek.

Grammatical Breakdown:

μή = "do not" (used with non-indicative moods to form prohibitions)

μου = "me" (genitive pronoun required by the verb)

ἅπτου = present imperative, 2nd person singular, middle/passive of ἅπτομαι ("to touch," "to cling to," or "to hold on to" )

The verb ἅπτου is in the present imperative, which in Greek conveys an instruction regarding continuous or ongoing action. When used with μή, it usually implies:

A prohibition against starting a continuous action, or

A command to stop something already happening.

So, Jesus is not forbidding a single, momentary touch. Instead, He is more likely saying something like:

"Stop clinging to me," or

"Do not hold on to me."

If Jesus had intended to prohibit even a single instance of touching, He would have likely used the aorist tense, such as μή μου ἅψῃς, which would express a prohibition of a simple or momentary action.

Understanding the verb tense and aspect is crucial for accurate translation. It impacts interpretation: Jesus is not objecting to being touched per se, but likely making a statement about the change in relationship after His resurrection; that Mary should not try to hold on to His physical presence, as His mission is moving forward.

Translation requires an understanding of Greek grammar and verb aspect; not just blind loyalty to tradition or a particular English version.

A more contextually and grammatically accurate rendering would be:

"Do not hold on to me,"

"Stop clinging to me,"

or, less idiomatically, "Do not be touching me."

These reflect the Greek aspect more faithfully than the KJV's "Touch me not."

Mary Magdalene did not threaten Jesus' atonement by her presence or past. The idea that touching Him could somehow defile His redemptive work misrepresents both who Jesus is and the nature of grace.

The gospel is not about what we've done; it's about what He has done.

Your illustrations are incorrect as well. God gives grace, mercy, and favour as He wills; no one can calculate or predict God's evaluation. Jesus already took the punishment for sin on the cross over 2,000 years ago; fully and finally. His sacrifice was not vulnerable to contamination.

What we have now is grace. No one earns salvation or purity by works, behaviour, or personal merit.

Well, you have clearly done your research which anyone can do, you have gone deep translationally but you are still shallow in understanding according to Spirit of the text, it is not something I can explain to you cause you have already taken an antagonistic stance. My point of view is what you will see if you want to see it, if not then you won't. You probably checked the NASB and saw no rendering of Matt 17:21 and instead of being genuine in your awe that your version is hiding something from you, you doubled down to defend your aforementioned point. I welcome debates like this because the scriptures declared that for faith that can actually save and change lives, you need to be persuaded. That's why you won't convince of your translational rendering cause I have always been of the opinion that dissecting the Greek to Garner meaning is like dissecting a word into letters to gain the meaning. The whole verse from the kjv if believed and accepted renders a more coherent meaning in line with the whole story, and that's the fact, though at the end of the day. I trust my kjv you trust your research and much reading. More power to your elbow. I'll leave you with this

Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

The ego is insatiable. An Inconsequential part of the human psyche that rules over 80% of our decision-making. Example...Anglican member will see this and supress the shame instead of questioning the truth of their religion and seeking the truth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ why, because their ego is enslaved by the identity of "I'm Anglican"

Merry100:
You are mistaken; the KJV is not the only reliable Bible translation.

The KJV is historically significant, but it does have limitations in translation accuracy and readability. That's why the New King James Version (NKJV) was created; to update the language and improve clarity while still respecting the same manuscript tradition.

New American Standard Bible (NASB) is another highly respected translation, it is even widely recognized among pastors and scholars as one of the most accurate word-for-word English translations available today. It is based on earlier and more reliable Greek and Hebrew manuscripts, whereas the KJV relied on later manuscripts that lacked many of the textual discoveries now available to modern translators.

John 20:16-17 showcased a deep moment. Do you realize that the interaction between Jesus and Mary Magdalene in John 20:16-17 is emotionally and theologically rich?

NASB:
16 Jesus *said to her, “Mary!” She turned and *said to Him in [a]Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). 17 Jesus *said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’”

NKJV:
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!”

She turned and said to [a]Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).

17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”

Jesus did not reject or rebuke Mary; He simply redirected her focus. She was already clinging to Him, and He lovingly told her not to hold on in that way because He was about to ascend. It marked a shift in how His followers would relate to Him; no longer by physical presence, but by faith in the risen and ascended Christ.

What you're suggesting even goes against the central message of the Gospel; that Jesus' death on the cross fully atoned for all sin. Scripture is clear:

"By one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified."
(Hebrews 10:14)

To claim that Jesus rebuked Mary because of impurity implies that His sacrifice wasn't sufficient to forgive certain sins; or that His atonement was incomplete or in vain. You are simply undermining the very power of the cross.

I clearly said He did not come to condemn anyone. I'm saying it clearer now He did not come to condemn anyone TO HELL. HELL is the real condemnation that the cross saves us from, but even after believing that if you steal in the market Jesus would not save you from the jungle justice that will kill you, but He will deliver you from HELL. He saved Mary Magdalene from Hell but her flesh still impure from her non-virgin unmarried status would contaminate the perfect atonement for Sins that His flesh accomplished through his death, burial and resurrection.
And those other translations are always going to be falsehoods, cause most of the scriptures you posted proves my point, they were written to massage the egos of unbelievers who couldn't accept the truths that the kjv stated plainly. In fact, here's an exercise for you, post Matthew 17:21 from the NASB or NKJV. if e sure you. You can't, cause they removed it. Because that verse would help cast out the demons that blind people from accepting the truths that only the kjv which is the only word of God that should be trusted.

.

Merry100:
Absolutely not, Jesus forgives and takes away sin completely, He doesn't discriminate. You can't be in Christ and be condemned. If anyone be in Christ...

Why are you using baseless assumptions to disagree? Many of you twist anything just to discredit women; you twist history, the Bible, or anything at all.

You ignored the many Bible translations that say "Do not cling to me" or "Do not hold on to me" and focus only on the one that says "Do not touch me"; just to push a biased interpretation.

The actual Greek phrase Jesus used in the passage literally means "Stop clinging to me." Though, it can also be translated as "Do not touch me" or "Do not hold on to me."

The statement "stop clinging to me" reveals that Mary Magdalene was holding on to Jesus, possibly out of joy or not wanting to lose Him again. But Jesus was gently telling her that things were changing; He was returning to the Father, and from then on, people would relate to Him in a new, Spiritual way, not through physical presence.

If you keep holding on to your ideology, you're indirectly claiming that Jesus lied; because He gave a reason that is not related to your assumptions. He clearly stated: "I have not yet ascended to the Father."

Do you think the same Jesus who clearly told Peter, "Get behind me, Satan," wouldn't plainly tell Mary Magdalene she was unworthy to touch Him because she wasn't a virgin?

First of all, any translation asides kjv is a lie.
Second, why would he allow a doubtful touch even the hole of His nail wounds and not a woman.
The answer is simple, principle. Even Jesus said a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump, a little contamination has the ability to contaminate the perfect sacrifice of himself to the Father. And what is that is contamination her impure status a.k.a non-virgin and unmarried.
He did not condemn her, He did not come condemn anyone, but he rebuked the impure when purity was needed

Merry100:
In Scripture, women were treated with dignity; Jesus Himself uplifted and respected women regardless of their past. There isn't a single verse in the Bible where God rewarded a woman simply for being a virgin.

Mary being chosen wasn't a reward for her virginity; it was to fulfill prophecy, align with the lineage of David, and emphasize a miraculous birth.

If your logic held, Mary Magdalene wouldn't have been the first to witness the risen Christ. Virginity has never been presented as a qualification to be valued, blessed, or favoured by God.

She was the first yes, but her non-virgin status was punished by Him not allowing her to touch him. Even Thomas that doubted could touch him, but she couldn't. An unmarried non-virgin woman is more unclean than a sane man. Facts
John 20:17-18 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her
