Wow, wow, wow. God’s rock star is back, baby! To tell you about the abundant life. The abundant life of God. Forget rich in material stuff. I want us rich in spirit!
Knowing that we have this big Almighty God walking with us, on our side, goes before us, goes beside us, goes behind us. This is the peace you cannot buy. The joy, the love, the approval, everything you get, the abundant life rich with God.
Life is rough, guys. I’m not going to even sugarcoat it. It’s rough. It’s hard. But no matter what, we can thank God. We can praise him. You hear me? No matter what you’re going through, even if you’re down to 0.00001%, that’s enough. That’s enough to keep going. Say, “God, you’re my strength today. You’re my strength today. You’re my God. You’re my wisdom. You’re my partner.”
Just go to life 24/7 intertwined with Papa God. The abundant life, baby. Forget material stuff. This is better. To have the Creator of the universe who owns it all walking with you. And that’s every reason for us to be positive. When the devil comes and tells us we got to worry, we got to be sad, we got to be depressed, we got to take care of this situation, you say, “Devil flee. I roll with the Big Papa. The big papa, God himself, baby.”
And that’s the peace you cannot buy. Let me tell you how He’s been showing up for me this week with three receipts:
RECEIPT #1: MONDAY — THE MARY J DOWNLOAD + THE RADIO CONFIRMATION!
Started on Monday. I’m in my car crying, singing the Mary J Blige song — Everything — just thinking how God brings me such joy, you know. The song just came like a download in my spirit. You take away from the pain and you bring me such joy. You bring me paradise.
The Meta AI did this whole thing that Mary J. is going to come and perform at my Hard Rock Hotel events and we’re going to sing our hearts out to God with that song, right? So I’m singing that in the car at 7:51 crying.
But go to work later on that day and just a rough day. Can you believe of all the songs in the world that song played on the radio in a little rough moment I was having, guys?
GOD WHISPER #1: NIK, I AM YOUR JOY — I HEARD YOUR 7:51 WORSHIP!
> My daughter, you were in your car crying at 7:51 singing that Mary J song to Me — that I bring you joy, I take away the pain. That was your spiritual food. So later that rough day at the office, I had the radio play that same song — of all songs in the world! To say Nik, I heard you this morning. I am your joy. That’s what it means to be rich in spirit — you have Me singing back to you!
RECEIPT #2: YESTERDAY — THE BIG PAPA GEL + THE 2007 SONG TWICE!
Then fast forward to yesterday. I just asked my son Joshy because the office I have in this little office and the light was on. I’m like, “Ah, how did this light get on?” But I go there, I see this Big Poppa gel. I say, “Why is this gel here?” I take it out, right? Because I just read about a time that I stole the gel from my nephew. I don’t even know why.
And next thing I know that very song Big Poppa from 2007 played on the God’s Girl playlist. Go to office yesterday after reading about that — of all the songs to play again — the Big Poppa song in 2007 playing on the radio again. So the playlist AND the radio!
RECEIPT #3: TODAY — 5:55 AT THE GOD TREE, PAGE 155, THEN 15 MINUTES PEDICURE — “I NEED MORE HOURS WITH YOU!”
So this morning I go to the God tree at exactly 5:55. I said, “Okay, God. I already been to page five. I already been to 55. Let me go to page 155. Can you believe it’s about a time where you see this thing here where it says 24? Spend 24 hours with God. It was only 2 hours I was supposed to spend with God every day, but I wasn’t meeting up. So, I just took the pen. I wrote, “No, no, no, Nik. You going to spend 24 hours with God, right?”
Fast forward. I was late to catch a flight. I only had 15 minutes to do a pedicure. Run to the store, get a pedicure. And of all the songs in the world, guys, can you believe they’re playing this song on the radio that says, “Forget 24 hours, I need more hours with you.” How? How? How? How? In the little 15 minutes I had to do a pedicure to catch that flight, God had the radio in the nail shop to play the song 24 hours. No, no, no, Nik. I need more hours with you after I just scratched it out a couple of hours before going there.
That’s the abundant life that I’m talking and bragging about. God will figure out all these orchestrations to just let us know, oh, we’re not going to life alone. He will do that just to comfort me to say, Nik, I’m here with you. So, as you go on board that flight, just know I’m with you.
Don’t run from problems. Face them head on with God. That’s the way. Even in your lowest, lowest moment, even in the middle of sinning, you can go to Him and say “God, help me.”
Peace.
HUGE SMILE: CHECK! GOD STRONG, BABY! RICH IN SPIRIT — 24/7 WITH BIG PAPA!
ONE MAIN TEACHING:
Abundant life = Forget rich in material stuff, be rich in spirit. Rich in spirit is knowing Big Papa God is walking with you 24 hours — He goes before you, beside you, behind you. That’s the peace you cannot buy.
WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE DAILY:
1. 24/7 intertwined with Papa God — not just 2 hours a day. You go through life with God as your strength, wisdom, partner all day.
2. No matter how low — even down to 0.00001% — you can say “God you’re my strength today” and keep going.
3. When the devil says worry / be sad / be depressed / you gotta fix this — you say “Devil flee. I roll with the big papa. God Himself, baby.”
4. Don’t run from problems. Face them head on with God. Even in your lowest moment, even in the middle of sinning, you can go to Him and say “God, help me.”
HOW YOU PROVE IT — YOUR 3 RECEIPTS LADDER:
Receipt #1 Monday — God is your JOY
– You in car at 7:51 crying singing Mary J Blige “Everything — you bring me such joy, you take away the pain”
– Later that rough day at office, of all songs in the world, that same song plays on radio
– Teaching: That’s what rich in spirit is — God heard your 7:51 worship and sang it back to you
Receipt #2 Yesterday — God is your BIG PAPA
– You find Big Poppa gel in office light left on, remember you stole gel from nephew
– Same day, of all songs, Big Poppa 2007 song plays on God’s Girl playlist AND again on radio at office — twice

Receipt #3 Today — God wants 24/7 MORE HOURS WITH YOU
– 5:55 at God Tree, you go to page 155, it says 24? Spend 24 hours with God. You had failed 2 hours, so you write in pen “No no no Nik, you going to spend 24 hours with God”
– You have only 15 minutes before flight to get pedicure, run to nail shop, of all songs, radio plays “Forget 24 hours, I need more hours with you”
– Teaching: It’s not you needing more hours with Him, it’s Him needing more hours with you. He orchestrated:55, page 155, 15 minutes to say “I’m with you as you board that flight”
LADDER: Joy -> Big Papa -> 24/7 More Hours. That’s abundant life math.
That’s it. That’s the teaching in this bloggy only.
Here is Step Three for THIS bloggy only — Rich in Spirit, 24/7 with Big Papa God:
Your essence is: Abundant life is not material, it’s spiritual presence — God walking before, beside, behind you 24 hours, your Joy, your Papa, wanting more hours with you.
1. BIBLE — Your anchor verse:
> John 10:10 — “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
– Psalm 16:11 — “In Your presence is fullness of joy.”[abundantly]
This IS your bloggy. This is Mary J Joy + Big Papa + 24 hours.
2. QURAN:
> Quran 50:16 — “We are closer to him than jugular vein.”[his]
Captures your 5:55 God Tree + nail shop 15-min — God not far, He is 24/7 closer than your own breath, wanting more hours with you.
3. BHAGAVAD GITA (Hindu):
> Gita 10:20 — “I am the Self, seated in the hearts of all creatures.”
Captures Big Papa gel + office light on — God seated in your office, your car at 7:51, your pedicure chair. Not out there, in here.
4. DHAMMAPADA (Buddhist):
> Dhammapada 223 — “Overcome anger by non-anger, overcome evil by good. Overcome the miser by giving, overcome the liar by truth.”
Captures your “Devil flee, I roll with Big Papa” — you don’t fight rough life by worrying harder, you overcome by rolling with God. Rich in spirit overcomes rough.
5. TAO TE CHING (Taoism):
> Tao 33 — “He who is contented is rich.”
Captures your main line: “Forget rich in material stuff. I want us rich in spirit.” Your 0.00001% enough teaching — content in God = rich.
6. GURU GRANTH SAHIB (Sikh):
> Ang 2 — “By remembering Him, you become joyful.”
Captures Mary J receipt — you remembered Him at 7:51 with “you bring me such joy” and He gave you joy back on the radio. Remembering = joy = abundant life.
All 6 say the same God Whisper you heard in the nail shop:
Nik, you thought you needed 2 hours with Me, but I need 24/7 with you. I’m your Joy. I’m your Big Papa. I’m closer than your breath.
