Title: Enter His gates with thanksgiving.



“Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 

Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 

Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; 

we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture. 

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise: be thankful unto Him, 

and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting; 

and His truth endureth to all generations.”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭100:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

Almighty God desires that His people serve  Him with gladness,
 

 that we rejoice in His presence, that we celebrate His grace and goodness.

Point of Reflection:

Entering His presence with thanksgiving happens when you have a continual positive attitude towards your God. 

Being thankful always and knowing that He is good, that His mercy is everlasting and His truth endures to all generations.

 His nature does not change.

That is why Paul and Silas in their midnight hour, after being falsely accused,
 

 beaten and put into a maximum security prison could open their mouths to sing and celebrate the goodness of God. ( Acts 16:25-31).

What happened after that was an earthquake, prison doors were opened, a jailer came and knelt before Paul and Silas and repented.

 God responded to thanksgiving offered even in what to most could have been described as distressing circumstances. 

Paul and Silas saw victory through it, remained positive and celebrated the goodness of God, 

knowing He has already given the final say in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, 

every negative circumstance has forever been defeated by Jesus Christ.

That is why Job after losing everything, full of boils, when his wife distressed, told him to curse God and die- 

but Job  responded:

“But as for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause—

 Who does great things, and unsearchable, marvellous things without number.”‭‭Job‬ ‭5:8-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

He goes further: 

“For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; 

and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God, 

whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. 

How my heart yearns within me!”‭‭ Job‬ ‭19:25-27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

Job in the spirit had a revelation of the victory of Jesus Christ and His final say over all negative circumstances.

The response of God was that finally God restored to job all he had lost and blessed him more than at the beginning (Job 42:12-17).

Magnify the Lord in all circumstances, exalt His Holy name, praise Him for His faithfulness,

for His goodness and for being God.

 Why? Because the instigator and author  of all negativity, is satan and his demons. But you know what- 

satan and his demons were disarmed and defeated publicly and openly, stripped naked and humiliated on the cross by Jesus Christ.

Right now, every believer was given authority over him, his demons and over every negative circumstance

 in the name of the Jesus Christ in us.

 And we know that  one day satan, will be physically chained and thrown into the lake of fire for all eternity.(Revelations 20:10).

Do you desire to exalt the Lord with me in whatever circumstances you may be finding yourself in?

When you are ready-

Prayer of exaltation:

 Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your faithfulness, 

for your goodness and for your loving kindness which is better than life.

Thank you that you change not.

Thank you for your grace which I receive in Jesus Christ. 

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

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

 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.

 Today my Father I enter your gates with thanksgiving in my heart, I enter your courts with praise.

 I acknowledge  and celebrate your faithfulness, your goodness and your mercies upon my life that are new every morning.

 For I know that you,  my redeemer lives and in my flesh, I shall see the working of Jesus Christ.

 How I magnify and glorify your name for your loving kindness is better than life.

 My lips shall praise you and I will bless you while I live. 

For there is no other God besides you.

 To you alone I give all the glory. 

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 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.
