Title: Setting your mind on the things above.
“If then, you have been raised with Christ to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead,
aim at and seek the rich, eternal treasures that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory.”Colossians 3:1-4 AMPC
It is the desire of Almighty God, that you seek the rich eternal treasures that are above,
setting your minds on the higher things of the Spirit of God, that you set your mind on seeking the will of God for your life.
At the centre of the will of Almighty God is salvation of souls. He desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.(1Timothy 2:4).
Put salvation of souls at the centre of all that you do. Seek the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:8-10).
Be a harvester and pray for harvesters across Planet Earth. (Matthew 9:37-38). Seek to experience His promises.
Point of Reflection:
An athlete runs with eyes set on the prize.
The gym may be painful sometimes but for the sake of the prize, one endures.
Keep therefore your mind on the prize, for when Jesus Christ who is our life shall appear,
you will also share in His joy, splendour and glory.
Remember the "appearing" of Jesus Christ starts right now as we experience His joy, peace and goodness.
As we experience His victory and His promises. As we experience His health and well-being.
As we experience his provision and more.
Remember your life is hid together with Jesus Christ in God.
Do you desire to seek the rich eternal treasures of heaven?
When you are ready-
Prayer of consecration:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die for my sin.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I thank you for giving me new life in Jesus Christ.
I reject, renounce and denounce every working and influence of the enemy satan and his demons.
I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.
I thank you that my new life is hidden with Christ in God.
I set my mind on the rich heavenly treasures, the heavenly inheritance and the heavenly joy.
Today I present before you each and every child of God across Planet Earth and
release the grace to seek the true and rich treasures of heaven as they serve you,
the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
I release an experience of the life of Jesus Christ upon their lives, to permeate every facet of their lives
releasing a true victory, a true peace, a true joy....
I command the enemy satan and his demons to let them go and serve God.
Today Lord I commit to harvest of souls as I send your word and pray for men and women across
Planet Earth to come to salvation and the knowledge of the truth.
I release the power of your word to transform souls, to deliver and set captives free from every bondage of the enemy.
As we send forth your word, heal disease and sickness of every kind,
raise the dead and let every undeniable miracle follow the preaching of your word.
Raise men and women of power in every village across Planet Earth to lead and shepherd your people.
In the name of 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 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.
