Declarations For March 2025
Hello March! Welcome to the month where everything starts to blossom. The experience of the different seasons in a year has taught me that no situation, no matter how glorious or gloomy, is permanent. In just a few weeks, the leaves which all turned brown, yellow and purple and fell off my trees, creating a heap which cost some money to clear, will be growing back in all its greenery and beauty.
Based on this knowledge, declare with me that every dead situation is coming back to life this month in the name of Jesus. Profess Ezekiel 37:12-14 EASY with me:
“So prophesy and say to them, “This is what the Almighty Lord says: Listen, my people! I will soon open up your graves. I will bring you out of your graves. I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 When that happens to you, my people, you will know that I am the Lord. I will put the breath of my Spirit in you, and you will become alive. I will let you live safely in your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken. You will know that I have done what I said I would do. That is what the Lord says.” ’[c]
I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

Comparing Notes
Do you have one of those people in your life who will call you often to see where you are in life compared to theirs? I was sharing with a friend (Ms. A) that I have a constant encounter with another friend, (Ms. B), who will call me quite often and ask me so many questions about areas of my life and some challenges I have been battling to see if they have been resolved or if I’m still fighting those battles. In my ignorance I thought Ms. B was constantly checking on me out of concern or care for me until my friend Ms. A made a comment that Ms. B was comparing notes with me. It was the first time I heard “comparing notes” used in a negative way because I thought comparing notes means you’re exchanging ideas, thoughts or opinions on common subject matters.
Apparently what some people do is to compare if they are on the same level with you or they are ahead of you based on the life challenges or battles you’re facing. That’s pathetic isn’t it? I look at people’s progress as an inspiration for me to also grow in the different areas of my life and not to compete to see who’s doing better or not. I also look at people’s challenges and battles as an opportunity God is using uniquely to grow them in certain areas of their lives. If there’s anything life has taught me thus far, it is that we all have a unique blueprint for our lives and our journeys and experiences will never be the same hence there is absolutely no wisdom in “comparing notes” on who’s leading or who’s losing in life.
2 Corinthians 10:12 MSG
“We’re not, understand, putting ourselves in a league with those who boast that they’re our superiors. We wouldn’t dare do that. But in all this comparing and grading and competing, they quite miss the point.”
There you have it. I pray for you this week that the Lord will engrace your life with peace and contentment. That He will enable you to run your race and accomplish the purposes He has planned for your life. I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
XOXO,

A Rose For Your Heart
February is Heart Month and a great opportunity to raise awareness on heart disease which is a leading cause of death in the USA and I like to believe is also a leading cause of death among Africans. High Blood Pressure is the most common one among my people and I can tell you with confidence that it’s not going away until we make some good lifestyle changes including our eating habits. So sorry I had to go there :).
On this Valentine’s weekend, my red rose goes to those battling heart diseases. I am praying for their healing and wholeness. I’d also like to encourage the rest of us to stay in the know of our heart health, get our screenings done and make some necessary lifestyle changes so we can live a longer and healthier life.
Enjoy a rose from me.
XOXO,
Lady Abena
