Title: Fear not, lift up your rod and see the salvation of Jesus Christ.
“And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still,
and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day:
for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today,
ye shall see them again no more for ever.
14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it:
and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”
Exodus 14:13-14, 16 KJV.
Point of Reflection:
The Lord Jesus Christ says "Fear not" to you every day of the year.
Bible scholars who counted in the King James Version found the following matches:
fear not" appears 169 times, "be not afraid" appears 79 times, "have no fear" appears 25 times,
"shall not fear" appears 55 times, "do not fear" appears 37 times and "do not worry" appears once and the total is 366 times.
This means there is a fear not for every day of the year and a spare one for every leap year.
I do not believe at all this is accidental. Almighty God's first statement to you every morning is "fear not".
When Almighty God appeared to Abraham His first statement was "fear not Abraham" (Genesis 15:1).
The reason is this: The enemy of God and mankind satan
uses fear as a weapon to bring bondage to the people of God.
His word also says “Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood
[in the physical nature of human beings],
He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature],
that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and
make of no effect him who had the power of death–that is, the devil–
And also that He might deliver and completely set free all those who
through the [haunting] fear of death were held in bondage throughout the whole course of their lives.”
Hebrews 2:14-15 AMP.
Refuse fear and lift up thy rod and stretch forth your hand.
What is lifting up thy rod and stretching your hand?
Make a declaration of faith- and then
Do what you can do, what wisdom says is humanly possible,
talk to God about the situation in prayer,
seek His wisdom and do what wisdom of God says you can do-
then stand still and commit, cast your burden to Him and allow Him to do the rest.
Remember to refuse fear and experience the salvation of God.
The "Egyptians" you see today, you will never see again.
It is the will of God that you overcome forever the situation satan has put before you.
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration:
Father in heaven I thank you that the Lord Jesus Christ died
and through His death he brought satan to nought and
made his power of no effect upon my life so that I am completely set free
from the haunting fear of every negative situation that might lead to death.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you, to serve you and live for you alone.
I reject, refuse, denounce and renounce every working, every influence and every deception
of the enemy satan and his demons in the name of Jesus Christ.
I lift the rod of God and stretch out my hand on every situation I face in the name of Jesus Christ.
I decree the victory of El-Giboh, the Mighty Warrior as I accomplish the will of Almighty God in my life.
I receive the salvation of God in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Confession:
I am a child of God and Jesus Christ in me is greater than the devil in the world.
I refuse fear upon my life knowing that Jesus Christ died to bring to nought
and make of no effect and to break every form of bondage from satan upon my life.
I apply the wisdom of God upon every situation I face,
I lift up my rod and stretch out my hand over every situation I face,
I command every "Red Sea" to part and in the mighty name of Jesus Christ
I declare a way for me, my family and ministry.
I receive the salvation of God in Jesus Christ.
To you Father I give all the glory.
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.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
