Change It!
I am very sure you’ve heard this saying that “if you do not like something, change it.” It is a great charge but also a tough one to follow. I don’t know what happens to me but when people are talking about challenges or complaining about situations, the Holy Spirit is speaking to me silently about solutions and how to overcome them.
In all honesty, I think a lot of people like to speak and complain about situations, yet, when you give them the solutions, they do not even make an attempt to try to change it. They will circle back weeks or months later complaining about the same situation and still not taking the steps to change it for the better. These kinds of people are the worst to have in your life or organizations because they will stagnate your progress. I have purported in my heart that any situation that is not favorable to me or progresses my life, I have to change it for the better.
In Matthew 25:14-30, a parable is told about Three individuals who received talents and when the master came back, one of them did nothing with the talent he was given but instead complained about the master and tried to justify why he made no progress with the talent. The master, Jesus, was very angry with him because there was a solution to the problem he cited. He could have kept his talent in the bank where it can grow but instead, he chose to keep the talent and still stay in the situation he has created in his mind. Here’s my life nugget for you, be a solution-driven person, one that solves problems instead of exacerbating problems/challenges. Whatever you do not like in or around your life, look for ways to change it. No one will do it for you unless you make that move and when you make a move in the right direction, the Lord will bring the people and resources you need to make a change.
I pray for you this week that the Lord will empower you to change the things you do not like. I pray that the rest of your life on earth will be filled with wisdom and the ability to take dominion over the things that seem like a burden over you. I declare it is so and so it is in Jesus name. AMEN!

Mother's Day 2024
The role of a mother is irreplaceable so, to the wombs that have carried children, to those who couldn’t carry one on their own but raised children with every inch of love in them, to the mothers who had to give away their babies for one reason or another, to the grandmothers who had to be mothers to their grandchildren, to the mothers who sacrifice daily for their children and others, to every woman who is still believing God for the miracle of a baby, may the good Lord reward you greatly. May you enjoy the fruits of your labor and hard work and may our children call us blessed.
Happy Mother’s Day to you all!
XOXO,
Lady Abena
Declarations for May 2024
Welcome to the fifth month of 2024 and yes we have made it thus far through all the odds. The storms are roaring and daytime fades so quickly into the night - it can get a bit scary sometimes. The spirit of the Lord took me to the book of Joshua, chapter One (1) and I noticed something so prevalent, “be strong and courageous” is noted several times so let’s declare this several times this month:
- I am strong and courageous, because the Lord has appointed me to lead my family to inherit the land He swore our ancestors to give us. (Joshua 1:6 paraphrased)
- I will be strong and very courageous. (Joshua 1:7 paraphrased)
- The Lord has commanded me to be strong and courageous. I will not be afraid; I will not be discouraged, for the Lord my God will be with me wherever I go.” (Joshua 1:9 paraphrased)
I declare strength and courage in our lives this month. That anything and anyone that exalts itself above the name of Jesus Christ in our lives will be brought down. It is so and so it is in Jesus’ name. AMEN!
XOXO,
Lady Abena.
