Title: The Lord rejoices over you like a bridegroom rejoices over a bride.
“Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken;
neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate:
but thou shalt be called Hephzi–bah,
and thy land Beulah:
for the Lord delighteth in thee,
and thy land shall be married.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee:
and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,
so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” Isaiah 62:4-5 KJV.
When you turn to God and believe on the sacrifice made by the Lord Jesus Christ when He died and rose again,
the word of God declares that you join God's own household. (Ephesians 2:19).
It also says you receive the Spirit of adoption by which you cry "Abba Father". (Romans 8:15).
You become an heir of God and joint heir with Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:17).
No wonder the scriptures say "the Lord delights in you"
and "as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride so shall thy God rejoice over thee".
This scripture blew my mind as I started to imagine
how a bridegroom rejoices and celebrates his bride.
If that is how the Lord celebrates you, your success,
your victory, your health and well-being, your breakthroughs etc wow!
Remember this is in spite of all our failures,
but because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you
are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:21),
God rejoices and delights in you,
He dances for you (that is what a bridegroom does in rejoicing over the bride).
Remember your spirit is complete in Christ, your spirit was perfected forever in Christ. (Hebrews 10:14).
Our battle with sin is in our mind because satan
has no access to your born again spirit other than through your mind.
One needs therefore to continually renew one's mind with the word of God,
to continually re-align ourselves with Him by confessing our mistakes
including even those we are not aware of,
sins we may have committed unknowingly. 1 John 1:9.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
As we do that we boot out satan from the foothold he will be trying to have over us.
So remember you are the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ,
you have been forever perfected in Jesus Christ,
you are adopted to be a child of God in Christ,
you are an heir of the Father and joint heir with Jesus Christ,
God delights in you and He rejoices over you as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride
(and I believe I have a very good idea of what that feels like!) Glory be to God!
Point of reflection:
Thank God for what you have become in Christ.
Thank Him for giving you Jesus Christ.
Remember we are saved by grace (a gift of God, an unmerited favour we received by activity on the side of God)
through faith, not of ourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works,
lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration:
Heavenly Father I thank you for the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for me.
Thank you that in Christ I am the righteousness of God.
Thank you that in Christ I am forgiven of all my sin.
Thank you that in Christ I am adopted to be a member of the household of God.
Thank you that in Christ I am a joint heir with Jesus Christ.
Thank you that in Christ I have been given every spiritual blessing in heavenly places.
Thank you that in Christ Almighty God delights in me and as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
You rejoice over me.
Thank you for victory over the enemy satan and his demons.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today
I set myself apart and consecrate myself to do your will.
I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life.
I remember my brethren across Planet Earth today and ask you to empower them and
to strengthen them with might by your Spirit in the inner man.
I prophecy to the wind and command the dry bones to live, to rise and become n exceedingly great army.
Do Father that which only Almighty God can do...........
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. 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.
