Title: Your rock, your shelter and your strong tower.
“Hear my cry, O God; Attend to my prayer. From the end of the earth I will cry to You,
When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.” Psalms 61:1-3 NKJV.
Almighty God wants you to know that in Jesus Christ, He is your Rock,
He is your shelter and your strong tower from the enemy.
Point of Reflection:
The Psalmist also says:
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.'"Psalms 91:1-2 NKJV.
The secret place of the Most High is found in Jesus Christ. You dwell in Him,
He is your refuge and your fortress.
Trust in Him always.
His word also says:
“If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,' Let Israel now say—
'If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us,
Then they would have swallowed us alive, when their wrath was kindled against us.” Psalms 124:1-3 NKJV.
His word says:
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have:
for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say,
The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”Hebrews 13:5-6 KJV.
Yes, Almighty God in Jesus Christ is indeed your refuge and your fortress.
He is your strong tower. He is your Helper.
You need to celebrate His goodness, His faithfulness and His protection.
Make declarations of faith and declare His faithfulness.
He said He will never leave you, nor forsake you.
That is why His word also says:
"I will lift up mine eyes to the hills from where comes my help,
my help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth." Psalms 121:1-2.
Do you desire to take a moment to make a declaration of faith?
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration of faith:
My Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made on the cross.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself to you alone.
I reject, renounce and denounce every working and influence of the enemy satan upon my life.
You have nothing in me and I have nothing in you, for you were defeated, disarmed and stripped naked
by Jesus Christ on the cross and await your fate in the Lake of Fire for all eternity.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke your working and expose your deception of God's people.
Today Lord I lift up my eyes to the hills from where comes my help,
for my help comes from you Lord, the maker of the heavens and the earth.
Thank you that you promised never to leave me nor forsake me.
Lord you are my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I will trust.
You are my rock and my strong tower, you are my shelter.
I dwell in the secret place of the Most High, in Jesus Christ and I live under the shadow of the Almighty God.
You are my God in whom I will trust.
I commit my life to you and ask you to guide, protect and keep.
I declare this day................................................
I commit your children across Planet Earth especially those in precarious
situations and declare your protection upon them.
Thank you Father for your faithfulness to all generations.
I celebrate your victory in my life and in all that I do.
I celebrate your victory across Planet Earth.
I celebrate your faithfulness in your children across Planet Earth.
I celebrate the establishment of your purposes across Planet Earth.
I celebrate your arising to scatter your enemies
I celebrate your wisdom in all that I do.
Glory be to your name forevermore.
In the name of Jesus Christ, let the earth be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
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.
