I shall not cry in June, I shall conquer.
I shall not wander, I shall build.
I shall not decrease, I shall overflow.
I shall not beg, I shall command.
I shall not retreat, I shall advance.
I shall not guess, I shall discern.
I shall not panic, I shall prophesy.
So shall it be, Amen.
Let’s pray,
Heavenly Father,
On this Good Friday, I don’t come with safe words, I come with surrender.
Because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, Lord, crucify my pride. Crucify my fear. Crucify every hidden sin I try to justify.
Let the cross not just be something I remember but something I carry.
If there are doors in my life You did not open, shut them permanently. If there are people assigned to distract or delay me, remove them without apology. If I am the one standing in the way of my own calling, confront me and correct me. Let this day mark the death of my old self. Let every false identity be nailed to the cross. Let every generational pattern that is not from You end with me.
If growth requires breaking so be it. If walking with You costs me everything so be it.
Because through the cross, I know this truth: death is not the end resurrection is coming.
So I declare: I will rise different. I will rise aligned. I will rise transformed.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
And everything I have prayed for and hoped for will finally come together. No more delays, no more disappointments. This time, it will work out in my favor. Amen.
Let's pray:
Heavenly Father, I decree and declare that every invisible chain around my life is broken by fire. Every door that mocked me in the past shall open this week. Every voice that said “it cannot be done” shall be silenced by undeniable testimonies. Lord, this week, make me the evidence that You are still a miracle-working God. Let my life preach louder than my words. I decree divine acceleration what should have taken years will manifest in days. Days. I decree divine positioning my name will enter the ears of those who carry the power to bless me. I decree divine protection no evil shall find me, no accident shall touch me, no tragedy shall enter my dwelling. Father, crown this week with favor, with grace, with laughter, and with testimonies that will shake the tables of doubt. This week is not ordinary, it is prophetic, it is powerful, it is my week of undeniable breakthrough. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

The Gentle Giant
A poem and tribute to our beloved brother Malcolm-Jamal Warner
Today, we lost a gentle giant.
A man who won our hearts not by force, but by quiet grace.
From the very beginning, Malcolm-Jamal Warner reminded us that being calm, classy, sophisticated, and soulful could carry you far in life.
He was the soft-spoken strength behind a generation’s most beloved show.
We watched The Cosby Show and saw, for the first time, a world many of us had never known.
A Black family made up of doctors, lawyers, artists, and thinkers.
A household rooted in love, education, laughter, and dignity.
As children, we weren’t sure that kind of family even existed.
We didn’t think people could speak to each other that gently.
That siblings could disagree with love.
That fathers could discipline with warmth.
That young Black men like Theo Huxtable could grow into manhood with vulnerability and joy.
But Malcolm showed us it was possible.
And then he lived it—beyond the show.
In his poetry, in his music, in his commitment to excellence and privacy,
He never wavered from who he was.
Everything about him on screen felt real,
Because it was.
And everything he became after felt like a continuation of that truth.
He never chased noise. He stayed grounded.
He showed us that fame doesn’t have to strip away your soul.
Today, we mourn what feels unimaginable.
A loss that cuts through nostalgia, through childhood, through what we thought would always be.
My sincere prayers go out to his wife,
To his children,
To his family,
To everyone who loved him, worked beside him, and walked life with him.
This tragedy hit us hard.
Not just because of who he was on screen,
But because of who he remained when the cameras turned off.
We lost more than an actor.
We lost a presence.
A gentle, regal, beautiful soul who walked with dignity and reminded us
especially as Black boys and men
that you could be powerful without being loud, important without being arrogant,
respected without ever demanding it
Today, we sit in that grief
And we say goodbye
to a man who gave us more than entertainment
He gave us hope
He gave us another way to exist
Rest well, Malcolm.
You were everything we needed.
