Declarations For December 2025
Looks like we just snapped our fingers and bam - December is here. Well, there are still a few more days to say goodbye to 2025 and who knows what miracles God will pour on us. This month’s declaration is a profound one from Haggai 2:9AMP….
“The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says the Lord of hosts, ‘and in this place I shall give [the ultimate] peace and prosperity,’ declares the Lord of hosts.”
I decree and declare immeasurable peace, prosperity and abundance in this month. Every blessing we have been waiting to receive in 2025, may it be doubled for us this month.
Let this be so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!

Happy Thanksgiving 2025
My lovely friends, family, acquaintances and readers,
As we gather around tables filled with love and gratitude this Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to God for each of you.
Thanksgiving is a time for reflection and appreciation, and I am deeply grateful for the community we’ve built. May this holiday remind us to cherish the moments, celebrate our connections, and extend kindness to those around us.
Wishing you a warm and joyful Thanksgiving filled with delicious food, laughter, and cherished memories with family and friends. Thank you for being an essential part of my journey.
With gratitude,

The Heart Condition
Every time I am reminded of the scripture in Acts 13:22 (b), I have peace in my heart that God judges us from our heart.
“…God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’”
If you have not studied the life of king David, you’re missing out. Please make time to at least read the books, 1 and 2 Samuel. You’ll have great insight into David’s life and legacy. You will also learn that he was a flawed human, but he had a heart that was broken, repentant, compassionate and a heart that truly loved the Lord.
Sometime in spring this year I attended a conference in the northern part of the country. As I was approaching the conference grounds I walked into a group of ministers who had prophetic graces and were speaking the mind of God to people. One lady looked at me and smiled and said, “God says you love Him and He loves you too…”. I’ll spare you the rest of the message. I teared up - for reasons my heart could only interpret. I silently went to take my seat at the conference and told God that, “I know I am flawed but if You can still see past my flaws and look into my heart to acknowledge that I love you, then I have won this race called life so I thank You.”
While that message was so unexpected, it was a needed confirmation that changed the rest of my year - that the posture of our hearts, the motives and things we harbor or incubate is what God is looking at. You can find many people who look the part, speak the part and perform wonders but their heart is far away from God. I’m a ‘people watcher’ in case you don’t know - I watch how people behave and react to decipher their hearts and what it is communicating to me or the world. One of my favorite phrases is "People say a lot, so I watch what they do." Jesus even reiterates this in Matthew 15:8-9 NIV;
“These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’[a]”
I pray for you this week that you the Lord will create a clean heart in you. That God will look at you and tell someone like he bragged on Job to Satan, that “this person here loves Me and I love him or her back.” I don’t know what kind of love you’re seeking but God’s love is unmatched. There’s no love that can ever supersede His love. I keep pursuing and seeking His heart and by doing so I find Him working on my heart condition daily. Sometimes it is a painful process but when He is done, the results are one that can never be duplicated.
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
