Title: Build your life on the Rock.
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”Matthew 16:16-18 KJV.
Simon Peter, a disciple of Jesus Christ, knew what others did not know
although they had all been with the Lord Jesus Christ, ate with Him, were all taught by Him.
When Jesus asked the question, "Who do you say that I the Son of Man Am?"
They had no answer. Simon Peter had revelation knowledge.
When you have revelation knowledge you are blessed.
The revelation gave Peter understanding.
Knowledge without understanding is like putting food in the mouth
and chewing it then forget to swallow and digest.
Food will not benefit you unless it is swallowed, digested, absorbed so that it gives the body nourishment.
Peter had received from the Father in heaven revelation and understanding of the Christ,
the Anointed One, the One of whom all things consists.
The One in whom there is all capacity, the One in whom all ability is, giver of Righteousness,
the Conqueror, the Healer, Deliverer, Shepherd and Guide, Provider, the giver of
peace, well-being and victory, the mighty warrior, our wisdom, redemption and sanctification.
Jesus went on to say you are Peter (petros, Greek-small stone)
but you possess the revelation of the Rock on which I will build my church
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Understand here that Rock (petra- Greek a rock, a cliff, a projecting rock, mother rock, solid formation,
fixed, immovable and enduring) on which the church is built is the Christ Himself.
When a child of God has a revelation of the Christ, he/she is unconquerable.
The gates of hell, gates of satan and all his schemes will not prevail against you.
You are able to uproot by faith the gates of hell and enter in to possess what Almighty
God says you must possess.
That is why Isaiah 54:17 says
"No weapon formed against you shall prosper
and every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn."
1 Corinthians 15:57 says "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
So child of God, who has given his/ her life to Jesus Christ and acknowledged Him as Lord,
as you receive the revelation of the Christ, and build your life upon His principles and ordinances,
the gates of hell shall not prevail against you.
Point of reflection:
Thank God the Father for giving you a revelation of the Christ.
Thank God for victory in every area of life and
for the capacity to uproot the gates of hell arrayed against you.
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration:
Heavenly Father I thank you that to Jesus Christ was given all dominion and power.
I thank you that in Him lies all capacity and ability.
Thank you for giving me a revelation of the Christ, the Anointed One.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I reject, renounce and denounce every influence, every working and every deception of the
enemy satan and his demons 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 Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I commit my life to you Lord for the accomplishing of your purpose and will.
I declare your victory in every area of my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I bring before you Father this day every nation of Planet Earth and
pray for the manifestation and revelation of the Christ, the Anointed One.
I pray Father that you send labourers into the harvest.
Move by your Holy Spirit Lord and save souls-
Do Father that which only God can do- across Planet Earth.
Raise a standard Lord of the working of Jesus Christ among the nations.
In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

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.
