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!

He's Out Of Data
He’s Out Of Data
Let me just share with you that the last few weeks have been filled with one battle after another, not directly towards me but towards people who are close and dear to me. As you will expect, if it happens to one, it happens to all of us so we (my family and friends) were engaged in fervent prayers. Just when I thought we have received some breakthroughs and getting a break from Satan, he unleashed his worst on a friend who resides in the United Kingdom. This friend is closer to me than a brother and I cherish him so much that I was so broken by the occurrence. Like Jeremiah, I cried on behalf of my friend to the Lord that “God, you have deceived me”. Jeremiah 20:7.
I can't share exactly what happened to my friend but it was what he did after the unfortunate incident that will resonate with me for the rest of my Christian journey on earth. He stepped out of that incident and went to minister to God’s people as if nothing had happened to him. I was angry in my spirit on his behalf, but here he was doing God’s work amidst his pain and sadness. This increased my faith in God and gave me a new level of respect for my friend. I was sharing the story with my mom about what had happened to him. It was what she said that has stuck with me the last few days. She said “Satan has run out of data. He has lost all his credit so he’s desperate. If this was the worst he could pull on God’s children, he (Satan) has definitely hit his end and victory is the Lord’s.”
In Africa, almost everyone has a mobile phone and unlike the developed countries, having a contract line with a phone company is not common practice where we come from. The majority is on prepaid phones and from time to time, they have to buy airtime and data to keep the lines open. If you don’t have airtime or data on your phone, you can’t communicate or execute your affairs. This was the analogy my mom was making in relation to the fact that the devil has literally maxed out on his stunts at this point and doesn't know what to do with God's children anymore.
I don’t know how many stunts the enemy has pulled over you in this season but hear me clearly - his time is up and your victory is here. If all these evil occurrences did not take us out, please know that the Lord has prevailed. I encourage you to pray with Jeremiah 20-7-18 AMP. Our God is surely with us as a dread Champion. Fear not! AMEN!

Declarations for December 2022
The Lord laid a simple yet powerful declaration on my heart for this season - “IT WILL END IN PRAISE!” I don’t know what your year has been like thus far but in a few days from today, we will draw the curtain on 2022. A lot of anxiety, unfulfilled promises and panic among so many other emotions but hear what God has to say to us, that our 2022 will end in praise.
“The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the LORD of hosts.’” Haggai 2:9 ESV.
Whatever the end of 2022 brings, it will be for His glory and an inner peace in your body, soul, mind and spirit that transcends all human understanding. I declare that 2022 will end in praise and glory for you and I. It is so and so it will be in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
