Have You Commanded Your Morning?
Job 38:12-13 AMP
“Since your days began, have you ever commanded the morning, and caused the dawn to know its place, So that light may take hold of the corners of the earth and shake the wickedness out of it?”
My spiritual mentor once said that “it is a very risky thing to walk into a day that you have not commanded.” In other words, jumping out of bed and starting your day without prayers and declarations is like walking into the day with blindfolds on. What God asked Job was not just a question for him to see how powerless he was but it also jolts our minds to the fact that a day can be arranged to go in your favor.
How is that possible? Through prayers and declarations especially at dawn or midnight and if you’re the type that cannot wake up in the wee hours of the morning, then as soon as you feel your heart beating again after sleep, begin to decree, declare and command the day to align in your favor.
I pray for you this week, that the Lord will empower you to command your days and shake the wickedness out of it all. I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus' name. AMEN!

If God Said It…
Sometime in year 2022 I read a book by a father of faith, Smith Wigglesworth, called “Manifesting the power of God: Walking in God’s Anointing” and in my reading, the evangelist had one mantra which was the basis his faith that, “if God said it, I believe it! That settles it!” I have to be honest that it was not easy to fully jump on this mantra at first because there were a lot of things God had spoken concerning my own life and none of them were manifesting at the time and in my mommy’s words, “when the promise is delayed, our hope begins to fade.” A part of me wanted to make it my own mantra as well and the other part of me was saying, it will only be a feel good mantra for you Abena.
With fervent and consistent prayer, my heart started shifting to actually believing this mantra fully even when the things I was trusting God for had not materialized. I read every instance in the bible where God’s word came to pass no matter how many years (some of those years will scare you enough but I knew God will hasten His word). I ingrained Numbers 23:19 in my mind, body and soul that;
God is not human, that he should lie,
not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?
Dear reader, God reconfigured my entire system and I believed Him to a point where the things He had said started to manifest right before my eyes. I say this to you that you need a surrendered faith to move God to action. For the integrity of His name and His word, if your faith is activated, you leave Him no choice but to come and honor what you have believed Him to do.
I pray for you this week, that the Holy Spirit will rekindle your faith daily so you can begin to manifest the things God has spoken to you concerning your life. I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

Declarations For September 2024
This is a month of birthing and breaking free from any and all captivity. A month where the favor of God is poured in every area of our lives. The Spirit of the Lord which dwells inside of you has empowered you to make this bold declaration in Isaiah 61:1-3 NIV;
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,[a]
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
I will be called an oak of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of His splendor.
I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
