“'The LORD is my portion,' says my soul, 'Therefore I hope in Him!'
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.” Lamentations 3:24-26 NKJV.
The Lord is your portion, that means He has given you a portion of Himself.
He has handed over to you a portion of that which are His attributes.
He is your rock, you have a portion of the rock,
He is your deliverer, you have a portion in the deliverer, in Him you can trust.
In Him you can hope.
In the same way He is your Healer, Provider, your Banner of Victory, your Righteousness,
your Shepherd, your Peace and more- He is your all.
Point of Reflection:
His word tells us in Jeremiah 17:7-8:
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD.
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river,
and will not fear when heat comes;
but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
His word says further in Jeremiah 17:13-14 NKJV: "O LORD, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You shall be ashamed.
Those who depart from Me shall be written in the earth,
Because they have forsaken the LORD, The fountain of living waters.
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; Save me, and I shall be saved, For You are my praise.”
He is your hope, He is your fountain of living waters.
When He heals you, you are healed and when He saves you, you are saved.
Why? Because you have been given a portion of God, a portion of God is at work in your life.
You have been given an entitlement to His presence and to His working in your life. Glory be to God.
His word says in Romans 5:5 NKJV :
“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.”
We can hope in Him because we have a witness of the Holy Spirit in us, the Holy Spirit is our portion of God.
In Colossians 1:27 NKJV, His word says:
To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles:
which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Jesus Christ in you is your portion of Almighty God.
Do you desire to celebrate the portion of Almighty God that has been given to you?
You can hope in Him as you hold onto the portion of the rock given to be yours.
You can desire to experience the Holy Spirit for yourself,
you can desire to experience the fullness of Jesus Christ as He dwells inside you by His Holy Spirit,
you can desire to experience His salvation because the Saviour is in you,
you can desire to experience His healing because the Healer is in you.
Reach out in faith and possess, reach out and experience, make a declaration of faith-
I have been given a portion of the Christ, the Anointed One.
Glory be to God forevermore! When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to be my portion of Almighty God.
Thank you for the sacrifice of the cross.
Today I receive the risen Jesus Christ as my Lord.
I reject, denounce and renounce every working of the enemy satan and his demons in my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ
and I receive the outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life right now.
I declare upon my life today the sufficiency of the Christ, the Anointed One,
in the name of Jesus Christ.
On this day Father we bring all the people of this nation, of this continent and of the nations
of Planet Earth who do not know you. We ask you Almighty God to do that which only God can do-
open doors for the preaching of your word so that it reaches every single person of this Planet.
We pray for Planet Ministries and ask for a high mountain platform from which your word
can reach every single person on this Planet. Perform Father signs and wonders to accompany the preaching of your word.
Heal the sick and raise the dead through the power of your word. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

The Year in Focus: Best wishes for the New 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.
