Declarations For June 2025

Welcome to the month of June and yes we are in the sixth month of the year 2025. The days are racing to catch up with the weeks and the weeks are catching up with the months. Let us embrace this month with hope and joy, knowing that the Lord’s mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23).

Declare with me, that it does not matter what I see or do not see, I will continue to trust in the Lord with all my heart, for He promises to guide and direct our paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Let every step we take be filled with the confidence that the Lord is walking beside us, ensuring our actions are aligned with His divine will and purpose. May God’s peace, which transcends all understanding, guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Nothing will be missing and nothing will be broken in our lives.

I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

XOXO,

Memorial Day 2025

Memorial Day is a time for reflection and gratitude, a day when we remember and honor those who have sacrificed their lives in service to their country. For us believers, this occasion reminds us of the ultimate sacrifice made by Jesus Christ on the cross—an act of love and selflessness that offers salvation and eternal life to all. Just as we honor fallen heroes for their bravery, we also acknowledge the divine love demonstrated through Christ’s sacrifice, which calls us to live with compassion, gratitude, and a commitment to justice and peace.

As we observe this Memorial Day, let us pray for the families of those who have lost loved ones and seek God’s guidance to emulate their courage and sacrifice through acts of kindness and service. It is a moment to remember that, as Christians, our hope is in the promises of God and the eternal life offered through Jesus. May this day inspire us to cherish our freedoms, uphold righteousness, and dedicate ourselves anew to living out Christ’s love in our communities, embodying the sacrificial spirit that defines a faithful disciple.

Happy Memorial Day to you all!

XOXO,

Lady Abena.


The Gift of Imperfection

In a world that often equates perfection with success, it can be challenging to embrace our imperfections and recognize their intrinsic value. The story of Jacob, as found in Genesis 32:22-31, is a profound reminder that our imperfections are integral to God's work of making us complete. The scripture describes Jacob wrestling with an angel of God. After the struggle, Jacob is immensely blessed but he is left with a limp.

Genesis 32:28-31 (NIV)
"Then the man said, 'Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.' Jacob said, 'Please tell me your name.' But he replied, 'Why do you ask my name?' Then he blessed him there. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, 'It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.' The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip."

Jacob’s limping, irrespective of all the blessings the Lord gave him reminds us that completeness is not achieved through flawless lives but through the transformative work of God in our imperfections. That one encounter with God can alter your life forever and true wholeness is found in relationship with God only.

In our own journeys, we may wrestle with imperfections and face challenges that seem insurmountable. Yet, we must find encouragement in Jacob’s story, knowing that God is at work in our lives, using our weaknesses to draw us closer and manifest His strength within us. Embracing our imperfections, we step into the fullness of who we are called to be, complete in the hands of a loving Creator.

I pray for you this week that the Lord will give you an encounter that will transform your life to total wholeness. I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

XOXO,

Lady Abena.
