Title: Your enemy satan was defeated publicly and openly by Jesus Christ.
“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us,
which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
And having disarmed principalities and powers,
he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:14-15 KJV.
The Lord Jesus Christ in John 10:10 declared:
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
The thief He was referring to was the enemy of God and mankind satan.
Here Jesus Christ referred to Him as a thief, a murder, and destroyer.
Elsewhere in the word of God he is referred to as the adversary, the devil (1 Peter 5:8),
the wicked one (1 John 2:13),
that old serpent, the devil, satan (Revelation 20:2),
a liar and father of lying, (John 8:44),
accuser of brethren (Revelation 12:10),
the deceiver of the whole world (Revelations 12:9)
the power of darkness (Colossians 1:13).
When Jesus died on the cross, it triggered a reaction from the throne of God to release resurrection power,
Jesus Christ with the force of resurrection power confronted satan,
made him surrender, took all his weapons, that is disarmed him,
undressed him to skin and then made him march down a public highway,
with hands tied behind his back and feet in chains.
Jesus had a victory parade with angels of heaven, while satan and his demons were being humiliated in defeat.
Remember resurrection power is the greatest show of force the universe has ever seen.(Ephesians 1:19-21).
So born-again child of God remember Jesus Christ defeated,
disarmed and humiliated satan and his demons on your behalf on the cross.
When Jesus is Lord of your life, He is in you, in your born-again regenerated spirit.
He has total and complete authority over satan and demons.
In His name and on His behalf you were given total and complete authority over satan and demons
You can and should rebuke satan and demons,
you can and should bind satan and his demons with chains,
you can and should trample over satan and demons,
you can and should resist him steadfast in the faith,
you can and should be sober and vigilant.
That is why Jesus Christ said in Luke 10:19:
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Here Jesus Christ was referring to satan and demons.
In Matthew 12:28-29, Jesus said
"But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.”
He cast out devils by the Spirit of God and He gave us authority to bind satan and demons in His name
and also gave us authority yo cast out devils by the Spirit of God.
In Mark 16:17 Jesus said “And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;”
Psalms 91:13 His word says
“Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.”
1 Peter 5:8-9 says:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
Here we are exhorted to be sober, alert and vigilant akin to a soldier on the front line of battle,
always alert, active , making sharp turning motions to check over his shoulders who is where, what is happening.
The enemy is always looking for an opportunity to attack - but resist him steadfast in the faith.
As you do that the God of all grace, who has called us unto eternal glory by Jesus Christ will perfect you,
establish you, strengthen you and settle you in position to accomplish His will and purpose.
Point of reflection:
Thank God that Jesus Christ, defeated, disarmed and triumphed over satan on the cross.
Thank the Lord Jesus for giving you authority to trample over scorpions
and serpents and all the power of the enemy.
Thank God for the grace to be sober, vigilant and the ability to resist satan.
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration of victory:
Heavenly Father I thank you for the victory won by Jesus Christ for me on the cross.

and over all the power of the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ.
I resist you satan and demons over the affairs of my life and command you to go in the name of Jesus Christ.
Father I pray that you expose every working and influence of the enemy satan and his demons across Planet Earth
in the name of Jesus Christ.

and pray that you open their eyes to see every working of the enemy in our day.
I bring before you, your people in this nation and every other nation of Planet Earth
and pray that you open their eyes to know and understand the victory they have in

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 an elaborate crown of gold and silver upon your head.
b) What you need to do:
1. In 2023, 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 waord 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 will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow 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.
