All I Ask Of You In 2023
Let me start by wishing you a Happy New Year and I am sure you are super stoked with all the great and hopeful messages from your spiritual leaders, community, family and friends. I desire the same blessings for you and more but there’s something else that I desire above all these well-wishes you have received for 2023, that this will be the year that you reach out for help if you need one.
The amount of self-inflicted deaths, depression and mental-illnesses that seem to be on the rise is unbecoming. We cannot live our lives in silos. You will be surprised to learn that most people are willing to help more than you think. Human beings are not naturally mind-readers so if you need help, reach out to someone. If you’re ill, go to a hospital. If you’re starving and have no food to eat, reach out to friends and neighbors. Asking for help doesn’t make you less desirable. It’s dying without help that is the problem. If you need someone to talk to, please call someone.
There are many good people out there and I’ll ask you to pray earnestly this year that God will connect you with genuine people that you can develop a trusting relationship with. People that can be there to support you and will go the extra mile to find you help even if they don’t have the means to help you directly. I pray above everything that you will strive to be that kind of a person to others as well.
All I am asking of you this year is to reach out and reach in. Don’t do life alone. Be blessed in 2023!
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
Merry Christmas 2022
May the joy of Christ’s birth give you and your family peace in this season.
I wish you and all your loved ones a wonderful Christmas celebration.
Stay joyful!
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
He Will Honor His Word
Do you hear all the Christmas songs playing in the stores, on the radio and even in your sleep? Yes! In just a few days Christmas will be here and right after that we hop into a New Year. I’ve started to review my year in totality and every time I try to list my blessings, my heart is filled with tears. Jesus is faithful. He has been faithful and He will remain faithful. What was said concerning Him in Revelations 19:11(A)AMP is true:
"And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who was riding it is called Faithful and True (trustworthy, loyal, incorruptible, steady)...”
In the last few days, all I keep hearing in my spirit is this Ghanaian song about Jesus keeping His vows. I didn’t even know the song so it was my lovely assistant who sang it to me and I learned the words. Yes the Holy Spirit can lay a song on your heart and you have to go find it. When you do, it speaks the exact words He wants you to hear. It’s been playing in my head 24/7 and I can’t get rid of it :).

These words are yours too - because the Lord is on your side, and because He is not a man that He will lie, believe it that whatever He has said He will do in, through and around your life - He will honor His word. My prayer this season is to be aligned with the Holy Spirit to cause His word to manifest in our lives.
I pray that you will see His word come alive in your life before the clock strikes 2023. AMEN!
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
