96 Years Of Grace
This past Thursday, September 08, 2022, the world lost an icon who will never be forgotten even to the 100th generation. Queen Elizabeth II was the world’s Queen. She carried a grace and elegance that was second to none. Sometime in June this month I was binging on several documentaries on her via my Amazon Prime app. Seventy Years of reign, seen and experienced all the ups and downs and still carried it with such grace. God blessed her with almost a century of life and for me, I keep pressing and tapping into that anointing. Heaven gained their royal daughter back and we lost a noble woman. Fare thee well Queen and my prayers and love to her family and everyone who mourns her.

Declarations for September 2022
September is a month of birthing every goodness the Lord has bestowed upon your life.
I declare that in this ninth month,
We will proclaim the favorable year of the Lord and the day of vengeance and retribution of our God,
That our God will comfort all who mourn and He will grant to those who mourn a turban instead of dust [on their heads, a sign of mourning],
He will give us the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment [expressive] of praise instead of a disheartened spirit.
We will be called the trees of righteousness [strong and magnificent, distinguished for integrity, justice, and right standing with God], and the planting of our Lord.
May God be glorified in our lives forever.
(Isaiah 61:2 AMP, paraphrased)
I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

Your Pot Of Oil
In 2 Kings 4:1-7, there’s a story about a widow whose husband had passed away, left her in debt and the debtors were now demanding her only Two sons as ransom. She ran to the prophet Elisha for help and the prophet then asked her what she had in her home that was of value. I want you to notice her response in 2 Kings 4:2 AMP,
“Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have [of value] in the house?” She said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a [small] jar of [olive] oil.”
She said she had “nothing except a jar of olive oil”. This is the response of most of us when we are caught in situations which leave us hanging by the thread. As you read further into the scripture, you will learn that her “nothing” was what God used to bless her and get her out of that situation. There’s a prophetic power in an “oil” and even when she didn’t see the value of it, God saw a tool that He usually uses to anoint and bless people.
Your pot of oil might be your gifts and talents, some skill set or items in your life that God can use to transform your life. My encouragement to you this week is that you will let God use your “nothing” to do “something” in your life. I decree it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
