Title: Almighty God desires that you be fruitful.
“Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a well; His branches run over the wall.
The archers have bitterly grieved him, Shot at him and hated him.
But his bow remained in strength, And the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob
(From there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel),
By the God of your father who will help you,
And by the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above,
Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.”Genesis 49:22-25 NKJV.
It is the desire of Almighty God that you may bear much fruit for God every day.
After acknowledging the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of your life to be born again,
you need to desire earnestly to be filled with the Holy Spirit,
to receive an abundant outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon your life by faith in the operation of God.
Let your desire empower you to receive and draw from God an abundant outpouring of His Spirit upon your life (Titus 3:6).
You need to desire and earnestly yearn for the empowerment of the Spirit of God upon your life.
Then you need a correct understanding of the word of God.
Point of Reflection:
The Lord Jesus Christ said in John 15:4-5:
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him,
bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” NKJV.
As you bear much fruit for God, the Father is glorified. Abiding in Jesus Christ is abiding in His word.
You need the word of God to abide in you richly (Colossians 3:16) coupled by a desire for
the Holy Spirit to be poured upon you abundantly.
Jesus Christ said “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63 NKJV.
To bear fruit for God you need to take a positive attitude to the word of God,
allow it to soak deep in you, memorise key scriptures.
Then desire the abundant out pouring of the Holy Spirit of God upon your life.
It is the Holy Spirit who gives life. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV.
When one exudes the fruit of the Holy Spirit in their lives, their lives will preach Jesus Christ to the world even
before they have opened their mouths to witness Jesus Christ.
The love of Jesus Christ in your heart will send you praying and interceding for salvation of souls,
praying the Lord of the harvest to send more labourers into His harvest.
His love will send you witnessing Jesus Christ at every opportunity, forwarding messages and
inviting people to join groups that disciple for Christ.
The key to all this is abiding in the word under the power of the Holy Spirit.
Do you desire to exude the fruit of the Holy Spirit?
Do you desire that God the Father be glorified in your life as you bear fruit for God?
Do you desire the abundant outpouring of the Holy Spirit of God upon your life?
Remember the fruit of the Holy Spirit accomplishes eternal things!
Witnessing Jesus Christ should be a way of life.
When you are ready-
Prayer for fruitfulness:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending your one and only Son to die so that I may be justified.
I open my heart to you Lord Jesus Christ and today I confess the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
Thank you for forgiveness of sin and the gift of eternal life and access into your presence.
I reject every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I ask You Father God in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me by your Holy Spirit right now.
I ask for an abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life and upon Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lord for your word, and today I commit myself to your word, to give myself wholly to it.
Thank you Lord that as I abide in your word and powered by your Holy Spirit I bear fruit for you.
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.
