Title: Receive the light, the life and the overflowing grace.

“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 

And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses,

 but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”‭‭John‬ ‭1:4-5, 16-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

Point of Reflection:

In Jesus Christ is the light-let it drive away any form of darkness in your life-the darkness from the enemy satan and his demons.

 In the light is the life of God- let that life infuse into every part of your being- mind, intellect, emotions, will and conscience.

 Let that life infuse into every part of your body and energise you, bring total soundness and healing because legally

 every ailment in your body is there illegally because Jesus Christ paid for it through the pain He suffered.

Not only that, as you receive Jesus Christ, receive - from His fullness and abundance the grace that overflows.

 Grace is His favour to you, which you did not deserve, unmerited favour born out of activity on the side of God. 

The fullness of Jesus Christ brings you one grace after another, spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, 

favour upon favour and heaped gift upon heaped gift.
 (John 1:17AMPC).

 You will live a fulfilled life, satisfied with who you are, what you are and what you have achieved.

 You become an imparter of hope in other people's lives. Wow! 

Let the light of Jesus Christ drive out any form of darkness in your life.

Glory be to God forevermore.

Do you desire to receive from the fullness of Jesus Christ?

When you are ready-

Prayer of faith:

Heavenly Father I thank you for Jesus Christ, in whom is the light of God and from whom I receive the life of God.

 I acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.

I set myself apart and consecrate myself  for you Lord.

 I reject, renounce and denounce every working and 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 in the name of Jesus Christ.

 Thank you that from the fullness and abundance of Jesus Christ I receive overflowing grace, upon grace,

 favour upon favour, spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing and heaped gift  upon heaped gift.

 I release the abundant and overflowing grace upon grace, favour upon favour, spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, 

spiritual gift heaped upon spiritual gift arising from the abundance of Jesus Christ to my life, family and ministry.

I release the abundant and overflowing grace upon grace, favour upon favour, spiritual blessing upon spiritual blessing, 

spiritual gift heaped upon spiritual gift to each and every child of God across Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ. 

Thank you Lord for the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit across 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.
