Rev. Isaac Baah anchors this New Month Declaration service in the principle that the same God who moved powerfully in Israel’s eleventh month is sovereign and unchanged today. Drawing from Deuteronomy 1:6–8, he centres the message on the moment God spoke Rav Lakhem — “enough!” — to a generation standing on the threshold of their inheritance after forty years of wilderness wandering, and declares that God is pronouncing that same word over every area of stagnation, delay, and fear in the lives of His people in November.

Very Rev. Jane Odom opens with a testimony of God’s faithfulness through a week of affliction that struck her household — first her son, then herself — declaring that had the Lord not been with them, they would not have been able to stand. She anchors the congregation in the hymn “My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less” (“All other ground is sinking sand”), testifying that God is the rock on which His people stand and that the plans of the evil one were foiled by the blood of Jesus.

Matthew 27:45-51
From noon on, darkness came over the whole land[a] until three in the afternoon.46 And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47 When some of the bystanders heard it, they said, “This man is calling for Elijah.” 48 At once one of them ran and got a sponge, filled it with sour wine, put it on a stick, and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the others said, “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.”[b] 50 Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last.[c] 51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, and the rocks were split.
