if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways.” Deuteronomy 28:9 NKJV.
It is the desire of Almighty God that you be established as a holy person to Himself.
Point of Reflection:
What does establishment as a holy person mean?
The most critical area of establishment is in character.
With character comes stature, with stature comes achievements and self assurance.
When these characteristics are in you, you are a blessed person.
With these will come peace, joy, and satisfaction about who you are and what you have achieved.
These will overflow to those people around you.
This is also the most critical area of blessing.
Jesus Christ opened the flood gates of heaven, so that these characteristics of God the Father may be upon you.
How did He do it?
His word tells us in
Galatians 3:13-14 NKJV:
“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us
(for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree'),
that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus,
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”
After receiving Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, the next critical ingredient you need for blessing is the Holy Spirit-
by whom Jesus Christ and God the Father dwells inside you,
with His wisdom, guidance, protection, victory, peace, healing, counsel, providence and more.
Jesus Christ opened for you the flood gates of blessing-
He became a curse for you so that the flood gates of the blessing of Abraham may flow to you through the Holy Spirit.
He redeemed us, purchased our freedom from curse and bondage of satan and demons by dying on the cross
and in so doing opened the door for us to receive blessing.
Glory be to God forevermore.
Do you desire to experience the flood gates of blessing through the work accomplished by Jesus Christ on the cross?
When you are ready-
Prayer of faith:
Father in the name of Jesus Christ, thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my sin.
Thank you that Jesus Christ purchased my freedom from curse and opened the flood gates of blessing
by giving me access to the Holy Spirit.
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 set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit upon my life right now in the name of Jesus Christ.
I thank you for the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life.
Thank you that the Holy Spirit opens for me the flood gates of blessing through the presence of God in my life.
I speak the release of the flood gates of blessing upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Through the flood gates of heaven in Jesus Christ I receive establishment that comes from heaven.
Through the flood gates of heaven in Jesus Christ I receive character, stature, the capacity to achieve in this life and self assurance.
Through the flood gates of heaven in Jesus Christ I receive the love of God, peace, joy, goodness and self control.
I release the flood gates of blessing from heaven through Jesus Christ to my family and loved ones in the name of Jesus Christ.
I release the flood gates of blessing through Jesus Christ to your children across Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ.
I declare that through the flood gates of blessing in Jesus Christ, Planet Earth shall come to the true knowledge of Jesus Christ.
I declare that as the flood gates of blessing in Jesus Christ are released, every working of the enemy satan and his demons are defeated
and rendered powerless across Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ.
To you Father I give all the glory forevermore.
In the name of Jesus Christ 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.
