Title: Receive His joy unspeakable.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”Galatians 5:22-23 KJV.
When the Holy Spirit which was sent by the Father in the name of Jesus Christ dwells in you,
He produces fruits and shows results in your life.
In other words the Holy Spirit is not passive, He is active.
Where He is present He shows or declares Himself present.
You will never remain the same.
Point of Reflection:
One of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit is joy.
The word of God describes this joy as unspeakable or inexpressible.
1 Peter 1:8 declares (KJV): Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not,
yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:”
The Amplified bible describes this joy as a thrill and inexpressible, triumphant, glorious and heavenly:
“Without having seen Him, you love Him; though you do not [even] now see Him,
you believe in Him and exult and thrill with inexpressible and glorious (triumphant, heavenly) joy. 1 Peter 1:8 AMP
Joy is critical for the child of God. The word tells us that God the Father showed Jesus Christ the joy
He was going to experience after accomplishing the mission of salvation for mankind,
and because of the joy of mission accomplished he endured the cross and despised its shame.
What sustained Jesus Christ through His suffering of pain, humiliation and
death on the cross was the joy that was placed beyond the cross.
The joy He was going to experience after accomplishing salvation for you and me.
Jesus Christ was shown by the Father the joy of you becoming saved, redeemed, healed, provided for.
The joy of you becoming fruitful and victorious. The joy of you becoming the God-kind.
When He was shown the joy of you becoming the person God wants you to be-
Jesus Christ endured the cross and despised the shame.
We should look unto Jesus Christ as our example: Hebrews 12:2 NKJV tells us
"Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
The joy sustained Him. It must sustain you too.
Remember the servant given five talents who worked with them and got five more,
the master said to him in Matthew 25:21 NKJV:
"Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things,
I will make you ruler over many things.
Enter into the joy of your lord.’”
When you are faithful over few or little things not only will God give you rulership over many things
but He will also multiply your joy in the process. Glory be to God forevermore.
Do you desire to experience joy inexpressible, joy unspeakable, triumphant, heavenly glorious joy?
When you engage with God in being faithful over few,
He will make you ruler over many more and will multiply your joy in the process.
Commit yourself therefore to seek His word, meditate upon it,
to pray for salvation of souls across planet Earth, to partner with God in communicating the word of God.
Desire to be filled and empowered by His Holy Spirit.
When you are ready-
Prayer of Commitment:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending your Son to suffer and die for us on the cross.
I confess the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today. I reject, renounce and denounce the enemy satan and his demons from my life.
You have nothing in me and I have nothing in you. I set myself apart and consecrate myself to serve Almighty God.
I desire Father to be filled and empowered by your Holy Spirit and I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ
to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now. I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I commit myself to you, to be faithful over few things knowing you will make me ruler over more and will increase my joy.
I celebrate today the joy of your salvation.
On this day Father we remember the nations of Planet Earth and cry for mercy.
We pray to you Lord of the harvest to bring forth labourers into the harvest in every nation of Planet Earth.
We pray for Planet Ministries and ask you Father for capacity to accomplish your purpose and your will across Planet Earth.
Open doors Lord in every nation for your word to be preached with power and confirm your word
with signs following- raising the dead, healing the sick and showing forth undeniable miracles through the name of Jesus Christ.
Let many be delivered from the power of darkness into the kingdom of your Son Jesus Christ.
That they may know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

The Year in Focus: Best wishes for the Year 2024, the Year of the Builder of the House of God. The year in which Almighty God is releasing the grace you need to complete the work He has started in your life.
Witnessing the love of Jesus Christ-increasing your reach, teaching and making disciples, building lives in Jesus Christ
as you pray and intercede for salvation of souls and for boots on the ground, as we give
substance to build physical churches across the nations.
This grace is powered by the seven fold anointings of the dominion of the Christ; The Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, The Spirit of Knowledge,
The Spirit of Understanding (Revelation), the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Counsel and the Spirit of the Obedient and Reverential Fear of the Lord.
In this year the Lord is declaring: "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by power or by might but by my Spirit says the Lord of Hosts.
Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And He shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of grace, grace to it.'" Zechariah 4:6-7.
You have been laying a foundation, but now is the time to complete the building. You need to tackle obstacles, whatever form or nature they come.
Your weapons are: a) Constantly releasing the grace of God, the favour of Almighty God, releasing the help of God. See also Acts 26:22-23.
b) Releasing the word of God, standing on His promises- not by power or by might but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts. Speak God's faithfulness;
God's victory over the enemy, God's blessing upon your life- as you work for God you are a blessed person. (Numbers 23:8, 19-21; Isaiah 46:9-11; Isaiah 14:24-26, Psalms 89:1-35).
c) Allow the continual working of the Holy Spirit upon your life. Make the Holy Spirit your companion, your Helper, Comforter, Standby, Guide, Intercessor, Advocate, Counselor, Strengthner
What you need to know:
1. Almighty God desires you to finish the work He has started through you.
In this year Almighty God is releasing for you the grace to complete what he has started through you. He says "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation stone of this temple,
His hands shall also finish it." Zechariah 4:9.
The foundation has been laid and now is time to finish the building.
Jesus said: “It is finished.”John 19:20. He was a finisher, He finished.
Apostle Paul of Tarsus, said “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”. 2 Timothy 4:7. He ran and finished. So did the other apostles and the other believers.
2. You need continuous cry for grace from the fullness of Jesus Christ (John 1:16), you need grace and peace to be multiplied to you (1 Peter 1:1-2). See also 1Timothy 6:12.
3. Remember the race is completed at the finishing line.
What you need to understand:
1. Almighty God accomplishes His mission by the operation of the seven fold anointings of dominion which declares: Not by power nor by might but by My Spirit says the Lord,
who are you O great mountain, before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! Zechariah 4:6-7.
2. While you need all seven candles burning, in this year the spearhead cry is the Spirit of Revelation. That God in Jesus Christ may reveal Himself to you,
and that He may reveal the plans He has for you, to you, that He may reveal to you the path you need to take to reach your intended destination.
Activities of 2024: where the rubber hits the road:
a) Cry for Almighty God to reveal Himself to you. In Jeremiah 33:3 He says: Call into Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things,
(hidden and fenced in things) you do not know. (AMP) Let Him reveal to you the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ. (Phillipians 3:8-10, Ephesians 1:15-22)
b) Cry for God to reveal to you the things He has prepared for you, the future He has prepared for you, the plan He has for you:
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who fear Him.”
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
c) Cry grace for holiness- you need to be in His presence. Seek holiness without which no man shall see God. (Hebrews 12:14). Seeing God here is experiencing Him. See also Matthew 5:8; Leviticus 11:44-45
d) Cry grace for building the house of God- grace for witnessing Jesus Christ, ministering and building up people, grace for intercessory prayer,
grace to be a faithful steward of substance, the mysteries of God and the time God has given to you.
e) Be word conscious- this is the word of God to Zerubbabel asking who are you O great mountain, before Zerubbabel you shall be a plain.
Whatever obstacle may be standing in your way, be it financial. human instruments or circumstantial- declare the word and command it to become a plain.
f) Be Holy Spirit conscious- the seven candles are powered by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said I will not leave you helpless, comfortless or orphaned,
but I will give you another Helper, Comforter, Standby, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Counselor, Guide and Teacher that He may remain with you forever. (John 14:15- 18 AMP).
g) Be in prayer- pray for the servants of God, pray all manner of prayers.
In this year you need to move to a higher intensity of prayer, a higher gear in your prayer life. See also Ephesians 6:18.
We love you as we invite you to be counted among the builders of the house of God in 2024 and beyond. As you move to your finishing line,
as you put on your own capstone with shoutings of grace, grace to it. We are praying for you and wish you a 2024 filled with the victory that comes from God.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
