Title: Your desolate cities shall be inhabited.
“'Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forth into singing, and cry aloud, you who have not labored with child!
For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman,' says the LORD.
“Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; do not spare;
lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes.
For you shall expand to the right and to the left, and your descendants will inherit the nations,
and make the desolate cities inhabited.”Isaiah 54:1-3 NKJV.
It is amazing when the Lord God Almighty visits your barren areas,
areas of your life where you are yearning for productivity and a breakthrough
and then asks you to sing, celebrate, jump, shout and break forth into a celebration frenzy.
Why? You are about to experience a visitation from Almighty God in Jesus Christ,
your barren areas are being turned productive left, right and centre.
The end result is desolate cities, which are lives without the light and life of Jesus Christ.
will turn to Jesus Christ through your witness and productivity.
The areas of your life where you were struggling, suddenly, you get a breakthrough, blessing and bliss.
Your mourning is turned into joy. Glory be to Almighty God forevermore.
Point of Reflection:
Almighty God turns situations around. Remember your God wants to use you
in your own way to make desolate cities to be inhabited.
Desolate cities are lives and hearts where there is no life of God, lives that are in bondage from the enemy.
When they discover again the life and joy of Jesus Christ, they move out of darkness to light,
their eyes are opened to see and understand spiritual realities (Luke 4:18, Acts 26:18).
This is what you need to do:
1. Sing, celebrate the ability of God, His power and goodness in turning your situation around
and bringing the growth and improvement you need.
2. Visualize increase and enlargement- have a mental picture of what it will look like
when God has turned your situation around and increased your productivity.
3. Put your faith into action- do the action needed to bring growth and improvement.
4. Strengthen areas that needs strengthening to enable and sustain growth-
your processes and systems- be the best you can be in all you do.
5. Give thanks to Almighty God for growth and improvement. Remember He declared :
"You shall expand to the right and to the left and your descendants shall inherit the nations and make desolate cities to be inhabited."
When you celebrate Almighty God's ability for you and give Him thanks for His ability for you-that is faith.
You continue activities 1-5 until you get your breakthrough and always with a positive attitude of faith
and seeking the wisdom of His Holy Spirit.
Do you desire that?
When you are ready-
Prayer of Faith:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your grace and mercy which is in Jesus Christ.
Thank you that you sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my sin.
Thank you that Jesus Christ died, rose again and is alive today.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I denounce, renounce and reject every influence of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
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 Holy Spirit upon my life right now.
Today Father I celebrate the fruit of the barren, I speak into every barren part of my life
and I declare a celebration of growth and improvement.
I declare expansion to the right and to the left, that my spiritual descendants shall
inherit the nations and cause the desolate cities to be inhabited.
I release the spread of the word of Almighty God into every village of this nation, this continent and
every single person in Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ.
I speak the life, the light, the salvation and deliverance of Jesus Christ into each
and every single life of Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ. 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.
