Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be,

 but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”‭‭ 1 John‬ ‭3:1-2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

The word 'behold' represents utter amazement and astonishment. The Amplified Bible Classic Edition puts it this way:

 “See what an incredible quality of love the Father has given (shown, bestowed on) us, 

that we should [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! 

The reason that the world does not know (recognize, acknowledge) us is that it does not know (recognize, acknowledge) Him.”‭‭ 1 John‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭AMPC.

‬‬Point of Reflection:

When you acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord, the Spirit of Jesus Christ (which is the Holy Spirit),

 enters into your human spirit, makes it alive and gets joined to it and becomes one with it. 

Your human spirit not only becomes alive or regenerated but it also becomes one with the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 

You become an heir of the Father and a joint heir with Jesus Christ (Romans 8:17). 

Romans 8:17 says: And if children, then heirs- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him,

 that we may also be glorified together.

You will at that moment onwards, have been given the same legal right as Jesus Christ,

to what Almighty God is, has and possesses. Wow glory be to God!

John 1:12 (AMPC) says: But to as many as did receive and welcome  Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) 

to become the children of God, that is to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, rely on) His name.

You will have been given at that moment the authority, the right, the power and the privilege to be a child of God.

Romans 8:15 (AMPC) tells us: For the Spirit which you have received is not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear,

 but you have received the Spirit of adoption, the Spirit producing sonship in the bliss of which we cry Abba Father! Father!

You become an adopted child of God.

 Your surname is now Almighty God. 

You become a member of God's own household (Ephesians 2:19). 

You are a member of the royal family of heaven. (1 Peter 2:9)

There may be  things you are allowing to happen to you which you must be rebelling against in the name of Jesus Christ. 

Look at your life and be ready to rebel against any situation that is not compatible with your position in Jesus Christ. 

Be ready to decree and declare positive outcomes in the name of Jesus Christ.

When you are ready-

Prayer of faith:

My Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you  for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for me.

 I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.

 I reject, denounce and renounce every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.

 I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ.

 I receive the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ. 

Thank you Father for the love you have poured upon me in Jesus Christ.

 Thank you for adopting me to be a child of God.

 Thank you for giving me the authority, the right, the power and the privilege to be a child of God.

 Thank you for making me an heir of the Father and a joint heir with Jesus Christ.

 Thank you for making me a member of the household of God.

Thank you for the victory against the enemy  in every area of my life, 

befitting a member of God's own household in the name of Jesus Christ.

I receive health in my body befitting a member of God's own household in the name of Jesus Christ.

I take my position as a joint heir with Jesus Christ and as a member of God's own household 

to command the enemy satan and his demons to let me go to serve my God in the name of Jesus Christ.

As a member of God's own household I declare that every need in my life is met in the name of Jesus Christ.

I receive the wisdom befitting a member of  God's own  household for every area of my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

 Thank you Father for such great love in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Year in Focus

2026 The Year of Almighty God's Special Treasure

2026 is the year of Almighty God’s special treasure.

In this year, Almighty God wants you to engage with Him as a person after His own heart who desires to accomplish His purpose, plan and will.

A person who seeks the burden of Almighty God as you pray and intercede, as you witness the love of Jesus Christ through your various platforms 

and as you exercise faithful stewardship of your time, of the mysteries of God entrusted to you and of substance.

His word tells us in Psalms 89:19-23:

'Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and said: “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.

20 I have found My servant, David; With My holy oil I have anointed him,

21 With whom My hand shall be established; also, My arm shall strengthen him.

22The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him (NKJV).

23 I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him.'

In 2026 there is help ordained for you from Almighty God. You have been waiting upon God with your heart focused on Him, on establishing His hand on Planet Earth.

Receive the help of God. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit flow upon your life as you meditate on His word.

What you need to know: 

Our Almighty God is a faithful God, that means He is trustworthy, He is dependable and follows things through.

His word tells us:

'He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.' I Thessalonians 5:24.

'Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.' Genesis 28:15 (NKJV).

'Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses. ' 1 Kings 8:56 (NKJV).

Remember:

'God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.' Numbers 23:19-20 (NKJV).

(see also Isaiah 46:9-11, Isaiah 14:24-27)

What you need to understand and have a revelation of:

There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.

His word tells us:

'Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.'

Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NKJV).

Remember also:

'Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 'Exodus 12:40-41 (NKJV).

In fact, it was precise to the second- at midnight, at the stroke of midnight first-borns were struck and Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said -Go and serve your God.

We read in Galatians 4:4-5:

'But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

5  to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.' (NKJV).

In your life and in the Ministry, you need to wait upon Him, but while you wait be busy doing what needs to be done today.

What you need to do-

a) Keep your eyes on the word of God.

His word tells us:

'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.' Colossians 3:16 (NKJV).

'Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' John 8:31-32 (NKJV).

b) Be conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.

We read in John 14:15-17 (AMPC):

' If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.

16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever–

17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.'

c) Be in prayer.

His word teaches us:

'Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—

19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ' Ephesians 6:18-19 (NKJV).

d) Remember your personal prayer agenda with God.

His word teaches us:

'Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”' Luke 18:6-8 (NKJV).

Psalms 91:15 tells us:

'He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.' (NKJV).

Almighty God has promised to answer you as you ask in the name of Jesus Christ.

Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.

In the service of Jesus Christ.

Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
