Title: Our eyes are upon you.
“Here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit.
O our God, will You not judge them?
For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us;
nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.” 2 Chronicles 20:11-12 NKJV.
“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”Romans 8:31 NKJV
When the will of Almighty God you represent is under threat or under attack your only defense is to call upon God.
Praise and worship are fatal weapons against the enemy.
Point of Reflection:
There is power in praise.
Jehoshaphat employed the weapon of praise and worship when he was
confronted by an army he could not conceivably defeat by natural means.
Paul and Silas were, beaten, put in stocks inside a maximum security prison.
Their offence was simply doing the will of God, preaching the gospel as they had been sent to do.
At midnight, literally and in their midnight hour figuratively, they started praising and worshipping Almighty God.
Such was their positive attitude and sense of victory, that they could start praising
and worshipping Almighty God in those circumstances.
A lot of us would have been asking: but God why?
We were doing your will, you sent us to preach to all creatures,
now we have not only been stopped, beaten and put in stocks
but we have been put in maximum security prison. (Acts 16:18-34).
What followed was an earthquake, the prison foundations were shaken,
the stocks were broken, the doors were opened.
The end of the story was salvation for the jailer and his household and deliverance for Paul and Silas.
King Jehoshaphat went to the battle fields and started singing and praising God.
There was a great victory.
He realised the battle was not his but God's. Militarily he was out-numbered.
He sent women and children at the front line of battle armed with worship and praise to Almighty God.
Sometimes realise there are no human solutions to the situation you encounter and
you need Almighty God Himself to intervene and prove himself God.
Do you desire to allow Almighty God to intervene in your situation and prove Himself God?
Do you desire Him to judge the enemies of the Cross?
When you are ready:
Prayer and praise:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for your grace and mercy.
Thank you for redemption through Jesus Christ.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as my Lord.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I reject, denounce and renounce every working and influence of the enemy satan and his demons
upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ the Son of God Almighty defeated, disarmed and stripped you
naked publicly and openly on the cross.
I declare you have no right in the affairs of my life, my calling and ministry.
Heavenly Father I thank you for your faithfulness.
For Lord we have no power against the situations coming against us, but our eyes are upon you.
Father I praise you today for you are good and your mercy and loving kindness endure forever.
Your mercies are new every morning.
I crown you Lord of all.
I crown you King of kings and Lord of lords.
To you all glory is due, for you alone are worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom,
strength, honour, blessing, dominion and glory.
You alone are worthy to be adored and worshipped, you alone are worthy of all praise.
We worship the beauty of holiness.
You who lives and reigns forever and ever.
For you are holy O Lord and heaven and earth are full of your glory.
For you have created all things, for your pleasure they are and were created.
Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest. ......
We worship you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
As you worship Him who lives and reigns forever and ever, removing your crown (Revelations 4:8-11)
He will intervene in your situation. Glory be to God forevermore.

Year in Focus:
With best wishes for the Year 2024, the year in which the Lord God is visiting His restless ones with an anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage of the enemy.
There is a big financial dimension to the victory for the restless ones in 2024. The yoke of poverty and financial struggles is being broken.
a) Things you need to know:
The year in which the restless ones rise up with the zeal of Almighty God to cause the spreading of the cities of Almighty God through prosperity.
Almighty God says: proclaim saying 'Thus saith the Lord of Hosts: "Iam zealous for Jerusalem with great zeal."' Zechariah 1:14
He also says: 'Thus says the Lord, "I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it," says the Lord of Hosts,
"And a surveyor's line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem."' Zechariah 1:16. See also Zechariah 8:1-5, 12-13, 15, 21 and 23.
He goes further to say: "Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity;
The Lord will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem."' Zechariah 1:17.
He says: "Take the silver and gold, make an elaborate crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest." Zechariah 6:11.
Almighty God wants to put a crown of gold upon your head.
b) What you need to do:
1. In 2024, take away your measuring line.
Do not limit what God can do for you and through you in the way you think, the way you speak and the way you act.
Do not limit the Holy One of Israel. ( Zechariah 1:1-5 )
In Psalms 78:41: His word says:Yes, again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.
Remember also Ephesians 3:20 says: He is able to do exceedingly abundantly, above all we think and ask, by the power at work within us.
2. Call with a strong conviction on the Almighty God for whom all things are possible, for whom nothing shall be impossible.
Remember His word says in Genesis 18:10-14:
10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
13 And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’
14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
See also Jeremiah 32:17-22, Jeremiah 32:26-27.
In Luke 1:34-38 we read:
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you;
therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
See also Mark 10;27 and Matthew 19:26.
Remember the Holy Spirit comes upon you and the power of the Most High overshadows you- to make the will of Almighty God happen in your life and in the work of the Ministry.
In Jeremiah 32:19 -21 we read that our Almighty God is great in counsel and mighty in deeds and that He brought out His people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs and wonders,
with a strong hand, and an outstretched arm and with great terror and He gave them the land that flows with milk and honey- they came in and took possession of it.
Let Him give you His counsel, let Him show you His signs and wonders, go in and take possession.
c) What you need to understand (have a revelation of):
You need to understand the following things:
1. There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
In Genesis 21:1-2 we read: 1 And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
2. Almighty God fulfils His promises.
In Numbers 23:19-20 we read:
19 God is not a man, that He should lie,
Nor a son of man, that He should repent.
Has He said, and will He not do?
Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless;
He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.
In Isaiah 46:9-11 we read:
9 Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.
3. It has been done before-
Remember in her restlessness Rachael cried: Give me children or else I die (Genesis 30:1). God answered her prayer and she bore Joseph, who subsequently received
the portion of the first born of Israel.
In her restlessness, Hannah prayed for a male child and pledged to give him to the Lord all the days of her life. God answered her prayer and she bore Samuel,
a mighty prophet of God who was also a judge of Israel. (1 Samuel 1:11).
In her restlessness Mary Magdalene sought to find where they had laid the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and she refused to be comforted.
The Lord Jesus had to make an unscheduled visit to the tomb while on His way to the Father. The Lord Jesus Christ had to appear to Mary. (John 20:11-18).
We love you and continue to pray for you as you set yourself apart and consecrate yourself for the purposes of Almighty God on the Earth in our day.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
