Is God Your Favorite Episode? Drawing Near to Him (James 4:8)

Do you have an appointment with God, or do you only call on Him when it’s convenient? Is your prayer life unscheduled, your scripture reading sporadic? You reach out to God when you’re in need, but have you noticed He’s been calling you all along, while you remain too busy for Him? And yet, we spend endless hours flipping through social media, all the while rejecting any opportunity to meet with God. How can you expect Him to meet your needs when you constantly reject His call?

God desires our hearts. He wants us to have regular, consistent meetings with Him. He values those set times, placing them on His divine calendar, prepared to meet us when we show up. In those moments, He’s ready to respond to the prayers from our previous meetings. Think about how you prioritize your favorite TV show, sports match, or series—how you adjust your schedule just to make sure you don’t miss it, finding excuses to skip Sunday services while you never fall sick when those episodes are on air. I remember when I watched Joana la Virgen—it was a show I never wanted to miss. My heart was so glued to it that I would rush home from wherever I was just to catch every episode, or even find a place with electricity if there was a power outage. Today, I do the same with Chelsea’s EPL matches—I don’t want to miss a single one. What are you so addicted to that you can’t bear missing it, even going back to watch the replay? Let’s be honest—replays aren’t as thrilling because we already know the outcome.

This is the level of devotion God desires from us—the same energy and dedication we give to our favorite shows or activities. He wants us to schedule regular meetings with Him, setting aside specific times for prayer and devotion. In those moments, the Holy Spirit reviews the “minutes” of your last meeting, and Jesus executes the action plans on God’s behalf. They come prepared with revelations, blessings, and answers just for you. But if your meetings with God are inconsistent and haphazard—showing up one day and missing the next—then God may also respond to your needs sporadically, as if He, too, is working without an appointment.

God expects us to love Him with all our hearts, as Deuteronomy 6:4-5 says: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” When we give Him our full devotion, He draws nearer to us.

If your prayers are “as and when,” God will meet you “as and when.”
If your scripture reading is “as and when,” He’ll respond “as and when.”

Why can’t Christians have consistent, scheduled devotion like our Muslim brothers and sisters? Why do we only pray when we’re desperate, instead of making it a daily priority, like our favorite TV shows? Shouldn’t our time with God be like that telenovela we never want to miss? Even if we miss an episode, we rush to watch the replay before the next one. We avoid distractions when we’re glued to a football match; how frustrated we get when we miss a crucial moment and the replay isn’t shown! Just like how you call your boyfriend/girlfriend first thing in the morning or want to hear his/her voice before bed, God desires that kind of intentionality and devotion.

As James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” When we approach God with faithfulness and consistency, He responds with the same faithfulness, revealing His heart and fulfilling our needs.

Prayer:

Lord, help me prioritize time with You as eagerly as I do my favorite activities. Draw me closer and make our meetings a daily joy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Keys to Step into Abundance

Jesus promised us abundant life here on earth before we go to heaven. “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more ABUNDANTLY.” John 10:10. There is no lack in God. He is EL-SHADDAI, the God of more than enough, your God and my God.

“For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit.” John 3:34.

The Holy Spirit is not a lacking Spirit, he is a river, a “Spirit without limit”. Abundance is the nature of God, who he is way before keys and principles. Many are taught biblically how to live a prosperous life but those keys and techniques don’t work for those believers because it is about a core belief in God as the God of abundance! Until you come to that place of belief about the abundant nature of God and his will for you, you won’t be able to release your faith even if you used all the techniques.

Having this firm belief about God, my God, the Holy Spirit activated me in revelations and biblical keys to stir the blessings I have been given in Christ in the heavenly places (See Ephesians 1). Oh, I fell in love with those keys, and I know you will too.

The biblical key that I am about to share with you turned out to be a creative activation that became my daily practice almost. It is addictive and powerful.

God, the great I AM, appeared to Abram and promised him to become a father of many nations. God cut that promise to Abram who became AbraHam and that by itself is powerful.

God in his tender mercies doesn’t only promise us great blessings, callings, and destinies but he teaches us, works with us, and helps us cultivate faith in his promises. We need God from the beginning to the end. God visited Jeremiah, not only to reveal to him his destiny as a prophet but also to work with his weaknesses, and doubts. God also went further to train Jeremiah by activating him in the seer anointing by asking him what do you see? God was teaching Jeremiah to prophesy. Isn’t God so awesome and so good? He is a Father like no other, halleluiah, he wants to see YOU succeed.

After the God of covenant cut that glorious promise to Abraham, having Messiah in mind, he didn’t stop there but activated Abram in many ways to build his faith.

Jesus said, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Jesus is your promise maker AND your faith builder. He never leaves you nor forsakes you! (I can cry here and just erupt in worship).

God turned the name of Abram to Abraham, and the faith activations started! Now Abraham is locked in his thinking about the promise (I am a father of many nations). Each time Abraham heard his community calling his new name, faith would arise and keep building in his heart. Do you see this beautiful activation? It was God’s idea.

God didn’t stop at changing the name of Abram, but he connected Abraham’s faith to the stars in the vast sky, a huge limitless scene, a visual. This is how your offspring will be, God said to Abraham! (Gen 15). Now every time someone calls Abraham by name faith rises in him and every time Abraham looked at the stars each night faith was established.

God surrounded Abraham with activations to keep him in the faith! Are you living like that? Protecting your faith, building it constantly? There is a journey to your promise. Today the 12 tribes of Israel are displayed in the sky because of Abraham’s faith. We see them in the constellations, and they reveal the glory of the Messiah. God fulfilled his promise to Abraham, but it was after activating him in faith every single moment in many ways.

I’ve learned from the Holy Spirit that connecting a given promise to a visual builds my faith which leads to glory and manifestations. There is nothing more powerful than seeing it. If you see it, you can have it but first, make sure it is within your inheritance in Christ.

Today it became my practice to focus on a certain blessing and then connect a wild creative visual that has no limits or boundaries just like the stars. I understand how powerful this activation is! It is not about what I write/see, it is about going wild and limitless to stir the blessing behind my practice. My wild creative SKY GRAND visual is just a little spoon to stir a  big blessing, the substance of what I want to manifest.

The secret is to go wild, creative, and BIG to rise your faith. There is something about the HIGH PRAISE, right? Go high, be in the spirit, break the membrane of reasoning, and paralyze doubts. I will clarify even more. Imagine you love someone, and you want to express your love and appreciation. Gift that one a shirt and that person will receive it and acknowledge your love. Gift him two shirts, and now he is so excited. Gift him a closet full of shirts and now that one is speechless, in tears, and is marked by your love. Go big, stir it strong. Let your senses engage in it.

When you write a creative visual, don’t focus much on it because the aim is not to fulfill it, the aim is to stir the blessing desired behind it.

The word in you will produce, that’s why “the birds” come immediately to steal it. What you sow in yourself as words, visuals, and emotions, will build the faith that will lead to glory “if you believe, you shall SEE the glory of God”.  John 11:40

Let’s say you want to stir the blessing of acceptance and approval in your life because you are struggling with rejection. You can write a creative wild limitless visual about how loved you are. Something like that:

“Today I woke up and as usual I turned on my mobile phone and received texts like crazy, almost all my social media apps were full. People were checking on me, tagging me, I was on their minds, and many wanted to arrange an outing with me because they love to hang out with me. It took me hours to answer them all and interact with them. After that, I saw that a group of people who used to bully me when I was a child, wanted to apologize and connect with me again. They love me today and know my worth. I was in tears! I don’t live for approval but what can I do about it, it just follows me, and I can’t stop it because when God blesses me, no man can curse me”.

Did you like this activation? I did. Will your phone be bombarded with messages tomorrow? Probably not but FOR SURE you stirred the blessing of approval, and it is now working and GOD himself will write the best scenario possible about that approval you stirred for him. Fill God’s pen with the ink of your desired blessing and let him do the writing. Trust in the Lord!

Happy activation!

If Jesus was a CEO

Jesus runs the universe in his perfect wisdom and authority and preserves everything by the power of his word. It is wide and abstract for us to grasp and understand God’s position as the ruler of the world because we don’t understand its mechanics. But it is easier for us to catch this concept if the ruler of the universe becomes a CEO of a company. His first position is an unlimited authority and reign over the universe, his second position is about a limited authority and reign over a certain domain. But sometimes if we can understand the small picture we can have a glimpse of the bigger one! Earth is a shadow of Heaven!

The first day came! Jesus woke up in the morning, spent his time with his heavenly Father in prayer as usual then put his clothes on and got ready not to go to Jerusalem, Nazareth, any small village or a synagogue to preach, heal and cast out demons, but this time he went to his own registered company somewhere in the city! The Son of God has his own company now and he can’t wait to reach his office to salute his dear employees and get the business done to bring more glory to his heavenly Father in the business field.

What could his goals be? Will he run his company the same way other CEOs do? Who is going to hire to be on his team? Who will be his right hand assistant? He surely can’t fail, success is guaranteed! After all he never failed healing someone and never failed resurrecting the dead, he will surely never fail running his new business! How is he going to run his company? The world is waiting and watching closely to see Jesus in his new position as chief executive officer CEO.

His employees are the luckiest ones because they were given the chance to watch the Son of God running a business for the first time, not a spiritual ministry! Many launched their social media apps to tweet, post and broadcast the first activities of Jesus on his first day at work! And for the first time these employees will hashtag proudly things like #ILoveMyCEO #HisWordsAreMyCommandments #Obedience #WantToMakeHimHappy #MyCEOIsAlwaysRight …

You may think I went too far in my imagination about the Lord. After all he can’t occupy this position, he is a spiritual leader! But my dear friend, this Jesus living in you wants to take over and live through you whatever your position is! You could be the first one to give Jesus the opportunity to run your business on his terms! It is going to be so exciting and of course … supernatural!

Glory to God

4 Daughters Who Prophesy

“Leaving the next day, we reached Caesarea and stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the Seven. He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.” Act 21: 8-9

I am restoring the prophetic mantle over this young generation back again. For this shall be the generation that will seek the face of the God of Jacob (Psalms 24:6) and will proclaim him gloriously, says God Almighty! And I know many are reading this timely word not by accident as I have drawn them into this lifetime invitation.

Do you want to be part of this prophetic army that God is rising in this hour? Your response will determine how Heaven will reply. Many are called to a prophetic intercession that they will not pray to God but let God pray through them in a perfect unity with them.

Many are called to be prophetic evangelists and will shout out the good news as if Jesus is walking our streets once again. Many are called to be prophetic worshipers as if Jesus himself is adoring the Father from their hearts, lips and musical gifts (Hebrews 2:12). Many are called to be prophetic writers as if the Holy Spirit is birthing heavenly and anointed books through them.

But ALL are called to be prophetic in their characters and walk as if they no more live but Jesus lives in them and through them. Once again the world is going to be reintroduced powerfully to the real Jesus to encounter him in his full glory and God will do it through you!

Through you, Jesus will be in the marketplace, in schools, in universities, in business fields, in churches, and all kinds of secular places of authority. 2000 years ago, people had to travel for days and months to meet Jesus and it was worth it but today and because of your prophetic character, where Jesus uses your mind to think, your tongue to speak, your eyes to see, your ears to hear, and your emotions to feel, people will meet him … Everywhere!

Pull down the prophetic mantle from God as soon as you finish reading because this is the prophetic word of the Lord for YOU! Amen

Declare with me: Everything in me prophesies the King of Glory!

Getting Ready For Marriage

What is it about marriage that almost everyone wants to experience? Is it the routine of humanity since the dawn of time? Or there is really an ecstatic taste for such an experience that no one wants to miss? I don’t know if you are single or engaged but in case you are single this devotion will stir you for marriage and if you are already in the golden cage, posture yourself for one of the greatest experiences that God fashioned for you.

The idea of marriage is perfect, awesome and exciting, not agreeing with this? Well go check all the wedding photos and videos, everyone is smiling and seems to be happy. Marriage ought not to be celebrated big time out loud once by the couple, celebration is the big entrance that should lead you to other party doors that await you to discover or create. Sounds so perfect and too good to be true? You can’t believe it because of the kind of marriages you are seeing around you in this fallen world? Let me remind you that God is good and his concepts, designs and lifestyles for you are so good, but we ruin it. I believe if you connect back to him as couples and surrender your marriage to him, you will relive the glorious experience again or soon you will if you are still single.

God wants to heal you and your marriage and he wants to put a banner of love above it all the time. This should be your atmosphere and ceiling to live under, not division, unforgiveness, dishonor and cold love. Do you remember when you surrendered your life to Jesus and got saved? Still remember the excitement that day you marked on your calendar? Everything you surrender to God shall be saved, so does your marriage my friend.

Marveled at his Faith

Faith is a person, it is Jesus Christ. The Kingdom of God functions and operates on the basis of his character and nature. That’s why faith is important and essential. God doesn’t doubt himself because he knows what he says must be. “so shall My Word be, which goes out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall certainly do what I sent it to do.” Isaiah 55:11. It is the case of any earthly king, do you think that an authoritative king thinks in his heart this way: “I wonder if my commandments will be executed or not.” Kings rule and they know without a shadow of a doubt what they command will be done! From where do they get this confidence, assurance and faith? From their position and authority.

God is the higher authority in the whole universe, his authority fills heaven and earth. He is called the King of kings. Who are the kings he is King over? You and I and everyone who is in Christ. You are made in the image of this King to decree his word into your situation, your nation, your family and over any sickness or disease and everything that is not aligned with his glory. One day, Jesus spoke to a fig tree and told it to wither from the roots. Instantly that tree obeyed and the disciples saw this and marveled at it and told Jesus excitedly about it. After that, Jesus taught his followers, you among them, that they can do the same and greater if they “have faith in God”, Mark 11:22. In Greek, the original language is echō pistis theos, which means: Possess God’s Faith!
