Your children shall be taught by the Lord Himself - that means He will reveal Himself to them.
Remember the God of Abraham revealed Himself to Isaac and then to Jacob individually and separately.
To Isaac He was the God of his father Abraham, to Jacob, He was the God of his Father Isaac -
Almighty God separately and individually revealed Himself to the children as the God of their father.
It is part of your calling and responsibility to direct your children in the way of the Lord.
His word goes on to say- and great shall be the peace of your children.
Notice also P
salms 89:29-33 NKJV:
"His seed also I will make to endure forever, And his throne as the days of heaven.
If his sons forsake My law and do not walk in My judgements,
if they break My statutes and do not keep My commandments,
then I will punish their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
Nevertheless My loving kindness I will not utterly take from him, nor allow My faithfulness to fail."
Notice also that Judges 13:8 NKJV says:
"Then Manoah prayed to the LORD, and said, 'O my Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent
come to us again and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born.'"
Note therefore the following, as you serve God, bringing His will on the earth as a set apart and consecrated child and servant of God,
He promises:
1. To reveal Himself to your children, to teach your children God.
2. To grant great peace to your children.
3. To correct our children when and if they stray- with the rod of God if necessary, with stripes of God if necessary.
4. He will never take away His loving kindness from them.
5. He will never allow His faithfulness to fail.
You need to:
i). Like Manoa cry that God may teach you and give you wisdom of the best way to guide
your children (both physical and spiritual), the best way for them to reach their God given potential.
ii) Claim the above promises for your children.
Do you desire God to teach you and give you wisdom in raising children ?
When you are ready-
Prayer to consecrate our children:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your faithfulness in Jesus Christ.
Thank you that Jesus suffered and died so that our children may know the Father.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I reject, renounce and denounce every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I ask you 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.
I thank you Father for revealing yourself to my children,
I thank you Father for your great peace upon my children,
I thank you Father for correcting my children with the rod of chastisement if necessary.
I thank you Father for never taking away your loving kindness from them.
I thank you Father for never allowing your faithfulness upon my children to fail.
I release the salvation of Jesus Christ and the filling of the Holy Spirit upon my children in the name of Jesus Christ.
Today I commit my children to you and to your promises now and for all eternity.
I celebrate your faithfulness in the lives of my children in the name of Jesus Christ.
I commit to you today all the children of Planet Earth.
I pray for them in the same manner Lord and command the enemy satan and his demons,
to let them go and serve God, that they may know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
To you Father I give all the glory.
In Jesus Christ's name I 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 AMPC).
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.
