Narrator honor · a father's voice remembered
By God's Call is being prepared with a carefully cloned voice of Jose Antero Oliveira, known to his family as Antero.
Antero was a devoted father and a dedicated man. He went to be with the Lord in 2026, and with humility, love, and care, his son and the creator of this work chose to honor him by carrying his voice into the By God's Call Podcast and Pray Then Act Daily Messages.
This is a son's quiet tribute: a way to let a beloved father's voice serve Scripture, prayer, and obedience with tenderness and reverence.

"but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."ISAIAH 40:31
Each message begins with Scripture, not opinion. The verse sets the authority for the whole devotional.
The message opens the text with warmth and conviction in a daily spoken episode you can hear and share.
Every episode lands on one concrete step. Faith is heard, then practiced in the day ahead.
Today's call, opened up
The chapter opens by reminding us that the Creator of the ends of the earth never faints or grows weary. It is from this God that the strength promised here flows.
"Waiting for the LORD" here carries the sense of actively trusting, of being woven together with Him — not standing still doing nothing.
The verse moves from the eagle's high flight down to ordinary daily walking. God's strength sustains both the extraordinary moment and the common step.
Israel had been saying their way was hidden from God, worn down by exile. It is that exact weariness this promise answers.
God does not swap your tired strength for someone else's; He renews the strength that is already yours, like wings traded in for new ones.
Act: identify where you have been trying to run on your own strength, and hand that weariness to God in prayer before you continue.
"He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen." - REVELATION 22:20-21
"On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords." - REVELATION 19:16
"This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666." - REVELATION 13:18
