Hebrews 7:1-3, 15-17 GNBDK
[1] This Melchizedek was king of Salem and a priest of the Most High God. As Abraham was coming back from the battle in which he defeated the four kings, Melchizedek met him and blessed him,
[2] and Abraham gave him a tenth of all he had taken. (The first meaning of Melchizedek's name is “King of Righteousness”; and because he was king of Salem, his name also means “King of Peace”.)
[3] There is no record of Melchizedek's father or mother or of any of his ancestors; no record of his birth or of his death. He is like the Son of God; he remains a priest for ever.
[15] The matter becomes even plainer; a different priest has appeared, who is like Melchizedek.
[16] He was made a priest, not by human rules and regulations, but through the power of a life which has no end.
[17] For the scripture says, “You will be a priest for ever, in the priestly order of Melchizedek.”
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 110:1, 2, 3, 4
Psalms 110:1-4 GNBDK
[1] The LORD said to my lord, “Sit here at my right until I put your enemies under your feet.”
[2] From Zion the LORD will extend your royal power. “Rule over your enemies,” he says.
[3] On the day you fight your enemies, your people will volunteer. Like the dew of early morning your young men will come to you on the sacred hills.
[4] The LORD made a solemn promise and will not take it back: “You will be a priest for ever in the priestly order of Melchizedek.”
Gospel, Mark 3:1-6
Mark 3:1-6 GNBDK
[1] Then Jesus went back to the synagogue, where there was a man who had a paralysed hand.
[2] Some people were there who wanted to accuse Jesus of doing wrong; so they watched him closely to see whether he would heal the man on the Sabbath.
[3] Jesus said to the man, “Come up here to the front.”
[4] Then he asked the people, “What does our Law allow us to do on the Sabbath? To help or to harm? To save someone's life or to destroy it?” But they did not say a thing.
[5] Jesus was angry as he looked round at them, but at the same time he felt sorry for them, because they were so stubborn and wrong. Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out, and it became well again.
[6] So the Pharisees left the synagogue and met at once with some members of Herod's party, and they made plans to kill Jesus.
Dearest Father,
Thank You for giving me a powerful weapon to be blessed and defeat my enemies, the 4 pillars of the Richlife in Christ, as You have said in the First Reading.
Hebrews 7:1 NIV
[1] This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,
Abraham came back from defeating the 4 kings in battle and Melchizedek met him and blessed him.
He probably sensed Divine presence in Melchizedek (He is actually Jesus, the King of Peace or Salem) and was inspired to honor him with the 10% of his loot and treasures taken from battle.
This just came to me.
Abraham came from defeating the 4 kings and was blessed.
Genesis 14:11-16 GNBDK
[11] The four kings took everything in Sodom and Gomorrah, including the food, and went away. [12] Lot, Abram's nephew, was living in Sodom, so they took him and all his possessions.
[14] When Abram heard that his nephew had been captured, he called together all the fighting men in his camp, 318 in all, and pursued the four kings all the way to Dan.
[16] and recovered the loot that had been taken. He also brought back his nephew Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other prisoners.
The RichLife System and Playbook that You have shown me has 4 pillars that need to be built in order for the RichLife to be lived.
Pillar 1 - Divine Identification
Pillar 2 - GodX Vision
Pillar 3 - Rock Foundation
Pillar 4 - 24H Activation
These 4 Pillars will defeat the 4 kings in our lives that keep us from living the rich life Christ has on offer:
Poverty mentality
Weakness of purpose
Fickleness in spirit towards God
Mañana habit
Pillar 1: Divine Identification
We are a son and daughter of God and we have an eternal inheritance with Jesus Christ according to Revelations 5:12 - power and riches, wisdom and strength, honor and glory, and blessings!
Fight the poverty mentality that holds you back.
Pillar 2: GodX Vision
See with the eyes of faith your life full of hope, the future you hope for. Stop living in mediocrity. You are called to an excellent life - a rich life, more than you expect, everything in abundance until you overflow.
John 10:10 TPT
[10] A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect —life in its fullness until you overflow!
That is God's vision for you. That's a perfect 10. That's the Godx vision.
Heard of 10X from Grant Cardone? Well, You are called to a GodX Vision from Jesus, the rich life God wants you to have.
Pillar 3: Rock Foundation
Be wise and set your firm foundation on Rock - Jesus, the Word of God.
The foolish builds his house on shifting sand, the opinions of the world.
Start reflecting on and living the word of God revealed to you daily and you will grow in wisdom and favor before God and men.
That's what this Speakchrist Diaries newsletter is all about. Helping you start your own scripture journal so you can hear what God is saying to you daily.
Pillar 4: 24-Hour Activation
You only have today to act and make things happen.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow is a promise.
Today is guaranteed.
Now is the right time. Now is the day of salvation.
Do today what you said you would do. The mañana person always look to tomorrow or someday to do something.
That's who I was, until last year. Tomorrow is my constant word of mouth. That stops this year. Cause I'm committed to implement this 4-pillar system God has shown me.
This year, 2025, the Catholic Church celebrates the Year of Jubilee.
In the year of Jubilee, happening every 50 years, the Jews had to free all their slaves, return all land to their rightful owners, and all debts were cancelled.
This is my year of Jubilee, my year of freedom. I'll turn 50 this year. This year, I declare I'm financially free, I'm debt free, I'm time free!
But it won't happen if I don't do all the things God told me to do. Day by day.
So I'm committed to focused execution this year.
Our government had a “Build, build, build!” project before where they were building infrastructures: roads, bridges, etc., everywhere for progress.
This year, by the grace of God, I embark on a “Build, build, build!” project of my own:
Build a family - community
Build an empire - unlimited creation I never want to retire from
Build a legacy - timeless creative masterpieces that will bless people long before I'm gone.
Building infrastructures for freedom.
So I invite you to fight with me and rule your enemies!
Fight poverty mentality with your Divine Identification as a child and heir of God.
Fight weakness of purpose with the GodX vision for your life.
Fight fickleness of spirit towards God with faithfulness to His Word, our Rock.
Fight mañana habit with 24H Activation, daily doing what you said you would do and what He called you to do.
When you start focusing daily on establishing these 4 pillars in your life and making them strong, whatever it is you are seeking to build - your family, your career, your success, your dream, your legacy, your wealth - everything will fall into place.
Seek first the kingdom of God and everything else will be added unto you.
That is what I did.
2024 was eye-opening for me. I realized I cannot live a rich life without all 4 pillars established.
Without knowing it exactly, I was building pillars 1-3.
I set out to really embrace my identity as a child and heir of God since 2022 and my role in His Kingdom. I determined my GodX vision, according to what He wants me to have. And I started living by His word, memorizing and murmuring His words spoken to me day and night.
I'm so glad I did that because middle of the year, all of a sudden, my condo got foreclosed! Which was expected, really, cause I’ve missed paying my monthly amortization for 4 years!
I knew that, of course, but I thought I still had more time to pay it in full, in faith. I've been claiming $3M from the Lord as my wealth reserve to help me have interest income and to pay off my debts and I entrusted to Him my condo.
But I wasn't consistently doing pillar 4, 24H Activation. I wasn't doing anything really towards my dreams that the Lord could bless. I wasn't making content so how could I hope to build an online business? And how could I hope to earn more?
But since I knew who I am in Christ, a child and heir of God, that I have a super rich Father and His word that is like the rain that does not return to Him empty until it does what He tells it to do, I fought that foreclosure with all the faith I have.
My family all thought and said my condo was a goner. They were already planning how to sell our things left there.
I stood on the word of God that He spoke to me when I prayed regarding my condo:
Job 22:28 AMP
[28] You will also decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And the light [of God’s favor] will shine upon your ways.
I decided and decreed, “My condo is mine, God gave it to me! It will not be foreclosed, no one will own it but me!”
And it happened.
By the grace of God, I reclaimed my condo back, with God's guidance and inspirations. Praise the Lord! And now my family could enjoy staying in it in comfort every time we go to Cebu.
I detailed it all here in my new ebook, Foreclosure Diaries, my scripture journal when it happened and how I got my condo back with God’s guidance and inspiration. Here you'll read my thoughts and God's words to me exactly as it happened. This newsletter, actually, is the published version of my journal.

Yesterday, our water dispenser broke down and my sister and mother went to look for a replacement. But they were inspired to go to a certain store to look, instead, for a hot and cold water dispenser.
We wanted to buy one last year but it was too expensive for us, 11k.
Now they went to this appliance store and they asked if the store had a hot and cold water dispenser, just to check.
The one in charge told them a new one just arrived. It was originally 9,800 but they're giving a promo for only 8,400 and 8,200 for cash.
At the end of last year, I asked God for a 30k wealth buffer to help me stay on top of my bills and debts and any unexpected needs. I received 29k from my employer as a year-end bonus.
With that money, we were able to buy the appliance with cash!
What is that? That is God blessing us and providing for our needs according to his riches and glory as His children.
Abraham fought the 4 kings, his foes who had taken his family, Lot, captive, and won. And then the High Priest Melchizedek blessed him. Then Abraham gave him the tithe, 10% of all he got from the battle.
In the same way, when we fight the 4 kings of our lives hindering us from the Richlife, God will bless us and multiply us.
In return we honor Him with our tithe: with 10% of what we got, the first fruits of our income, the best of our lives.
10% of every income we receive.
First hour of every day in prayer and communion with Him.
First day of every week set aside for us to worship Him and enjoy our family.
The tithe is us giving our best to honor God.
Defeat the 4 kings and honor God with your tithe. Then you will be blessed beyond measure.
Psalm 110:
2 Yahweh will stretch out the sceptre of your power; from Zion you will rule your foes all around you.
3 Royal dignity has been yours from the day of your birth, sacred honour from the womb, from the dawn of your youth.
You are God's child chosen from the beginning and in Christ, you share in Jesus’ 3-fold role as priest, prophet, and King, through the power of His life that never ends
Hebrews 7:16 GNBDK
[16] He was made a priest, not by human rules and regulations, but through the power of a life which has no end.
In Christ, you are rich forever - a priest, prophet, and king - through the power of His life which has no end.
