The Volume Of The Book
Hebrews 10:7 KJV
“Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.”
Oh how I love this scripture - it emphasizes that Jesus’ coming into the world was not accidental but was foretold and written about in the scriptures, what the Hebrew writer refers to as "the volume of the book." For you and I, God confirmed a similar pattern about our lives through the prophet Jeremiah that even before we were formed in the womb, He knew us. Before we were born He set us apart and appointed us as prophets to the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5, paraphrased).
The question that’s on mind most often is whether we know what is written about us? What did God write about us even before He formed us? Our lives are scripted by God’s plan but we often miss it because of ignorance, impatience, disobedience, or just our lack of faith and trust in Him.
There was a season in my life when I walked through the furnace of affliction and boy did it feel like a lifetime. I prayed to God and asked Him to show me a token of His power so that no matter what happens or how far I stray from Him, I will always remember what He did for me and return to Him. He did and also in that moment He showed me what was written about me before I was formed. It brought peace to my life even in that season of chaos. As to when they will all happen, I do not know but I am trusting the writer of my book daily and taking it as it comes.
So, my dear friend - whatever God wrote about you is sooo good and it’s perfect. I pray for you this week that He will show you what is written about you so that you will remain steadfast, patient and strong no matter the circumstances.
Let this be so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
XOXO,

Declaration For October 2025
My dear friends, this month of October is the month of birthing so speak boldly, declare and decree with courage and watch your words manifest into reality.
Isaiah 65:21 says that,
“And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.”
I decree that we will not toil for another man to take from us. May the season of lasting increase and peace never depart from our homes. Let there be restoration in every area of our lives, let our career, businesses and projects flourish. Let generational foundations be laid and may we not lose anything the Lord has given us. As we move in obedience to the doors God opens let us celebrate each fruit, and encourage one another as we dwell in the work of His hands this October.
It is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
A Token Of His Goodness
Psalm 86:17 NKJV
“Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
I cannot tell you how many times in a day that I repeat this scripture to myself - quite a lot. I can’t imagine serving God and not seeing His supernatural hand or signs of His intervention in my life. One of my mentors, Apostle Joshua Selman, taught that knowing God is experiential and if you don’t have these encounters with Him, your christian journey can be frustrating. So I prayed and still keep praying for daily signs of His goodness. These experiences have truly enriched my life and created a deeper connection and assurance that my God is real.
If you asked me how I know that God is real - I’ll be happy to share countless stories of the naturally impossible things He made possible in my life. They were a clear sign of His goodness towards me. Listen, you don’t need to pretend strength or hide your need - ask for something real that proves God is at work on your behalf. That honest petition is an act of trust, not weakness, and it invites God to step into your struggle.
When others doubt you or stand against you, God’s vindication can change how people see your situation. I have seen God defend and avenge me and many people in ways I could never fathom was even possible. So here’s my charge to you, hold on to what you already know of God’s help and comfort. Past moments of mercy are not distant memories but the foundation for hope now. Even before a big breakthrough, God’s presence sustains you so keep praying, lean into the comfort you’ve received, and expect that the same God who helped you before will continue to show you a token of His goodness towards you.
Let this be so in your life and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
