December 2022

/ Dara / Leave a comment

‘the most wonderful time of the year ‘ has returned but what makes it so wonderful? – the end of a long year, quality family time or the general holiday spirit? What I love most is the heightened awareness of the title Emmanuel – God With Us. In the hustle & bustle of the next few weeks and days, one can easily fall into an overthinking, overwhelmed and overworked mode, but I urge you to linger in God’s presence. If you feel discouraged, He can lift & cheer you up. If you are exhausted, He can strengthen you. His presence can refill, replenish and refresh you. May you truly experience Emmanuel during this festive season!

Have a Delightful December!

Stay blessed,

June 2022

I’m yet to meet a person who detests comfort. A simplified, stress and drama free life is ideal. However, God prefers us to step out of what’s comfortable and familiar. He dares us to take leaps of faith and venture out of our comfort zones. You can’t test the strength of an elastic band until it’s stretched, so this month stretch beyond your current safety spaces and watch the beautiful reward that awaits.

Have a Jubilant June! ✨

P.S – At the start of May, I launched Season 2 of my podcast. It’s a series that explores a 21st century Hall Of Faith. Please have a listen on : https://theundilutedword.buzzsprout.com

As you have stepped into May, I urge you to stay plugged into God. By spending time with the True source of light, your life will be illuminated and darkness eliminated. Additionally, light shines through “cracked pots”: although life shatters us remember that God’s light shines greater through cracked pots than those that pretend to have it all together. May God’s light shine through your life and perform wonders.

May you have a Magical May!

Stay blessed,

Happy New Year – 2022

/ Dara / Leave a comment

As you embark on this 2022 journey, God will make everything that concerns you to work out as He intends. May God open the doors that need opening and close the ones that must remain closed. The specific details of the year may not necessarily be made known to you but one certain thing is that God is by your side so there is no reason to be fearful. In all you do count on God and not yourself, count your laughs and not your tears, count your gains and not your losses.

Have a fabulous start to the New Year! 🎊

Stay Blessed,

A favourite emotion of mine is JOY. It is independent of our daily battles & struggles but dependent on God. Unlike the UK Sun, God’s presence in our lives is constant and never dries up. May Joy be the genre of your life. As the year draws to an end, draw near to God’s promises and experience the strength only His joy provides. Any wasteland you may find yourself in will not have the final word. When you remember the past year and your mind wanders down a gloomy and unpleasant path, STOP & REJOICE. 

Choosing joy and remembering who God is and what He has done will not only turn your frown upside down; it causes His light to radiate and give you a permanent facial glow.

Have a Delightful December!

As the year progresses and our hopes & dreams either get accomplished or seem further away: stagnancy lurks around. Therefore, I declare against the spirit of stagnancy in your life. I Declare that you shall bring forth good fruits, the works of your hand shall be blessed, may your mind flourish with grand, tangible & creative ideas. Your destiny helpers will find and catapult you to your divinely destined destination; backwardness shall not be your portion in any segment of your life.

Please accept my apologies for this delayed message 🙊

Have an Actively energised August!

July 2021

Regardless of what 2021 has thrown at you as we step into the second half of the year, I urge you to remain confident that the good parts are coming. Just as the walls of Jericho fell down flat after marching around seven times, may the walls of Jericho between you and God’s perfect promises for you come tumbling down. You may have gone through the dark, less glamorous seasons but be assured that the good parts are coming. In the beginning, there was darkness but when God stepped in and said let there be light, there was light and it was GOOD. Therefore I declare that in this seventh month of perfection, you will clearly see the goodness and hand of God. You will march into your miracle and the walls previously built up against you will fall down flat.

Have a Jaw-dropping July!

Stay blessed,

Of all the metaphors used to describe God; God as an eagle whose feathers I can stay under is a top favourite. Life is filled with diverse challenges, choices, change and characters but under God’s wings, we are blessed with His presence, protection, provision, promotion, prosperity and preservation. There’s no protection for the young bird that strays away from the nest, so in this month intentionally decide to trust God and take cover under His wings because His promises cover ALL bases.

Have a Miraculous May!

Wouldn’t it be a relief to find out that the past year was an April fool’s joke and life would return as normal? Unfortunately, that’s not the case but, God is a ‘God who restores’, so we always get the last laugh. Don’t take things that are happening to you too seriously; learn to laugh as it lightens the load you carry. The password into God’s presence isn’t necessarily the loudest cries but is thanksgiving and joy. Declare that: My mourning will turn into dancing, and my mouth will be filled with laughter and joy. I exchange my pain & heartbreak for a garment of praise. My cup is not just half full; it is overflowing.

Have an Amazing April!

Stay blessed,

If the birds & lilies are taken care of, how much more will he provide for us; His image-bearers. Jehovah Jireh means “The Lord will provide.” God does not hesitate when it comes to meeting our needs; it’s in His nature. Make this declaration: I declare that God shall supply all my needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus. As I delight in Him, He will give me the desires of my heart. I am fully equipped for the journey ahead. God has provided a way of escape during trials and temptation. His provision will arrive at the appointed time. He will not withhold his limitless provision. I declare that Jehovah Jireh will be evident in my life.

Have a Marvellous March!

Stay blessed
