Title: Find the pearl of great price.
"The kingdom of heaven is like something precious buried in a field,
which a man found and hid again;
then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field.
Again the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a dealer
in search of fine and precious pearls,
Who, on finding a single pearl of great price,
went and sold all he had and bought it.” Matthew 13:44-46 AMPC.
Here the Lord Jesus Christ likens the kingdom of heaven to treasure buried in a field.
Notice in this parable the man buries it again in the same field,
goes away, sells everything he had and comes to buy that field.
There are three things to learn here:
1. The treasure gave him a joy unspeakable, exceeding great joy.
The kingdom of heaven brings us joy, peace and well-being.
It gives us completeness.
It brings us salvation- the sum total of everything Jesus Christ atoned for including
eternal life, physical and emotional well-being, victory over the enemy satan,
His provision, His righteousness, His guidance.
Secondly, notice the treasure was priceless-
the man did not go and sell some of his goods, he sold everything.
The treasure was worth giving everything he had.
Yes the kingdom of heaven is priceless-
you need to give it your whole heart, give it your all.
Whoever you are, whatever you have- it requires and demands your all, your whole heart.
It demands your full attention, whole-heartedness not half-hearted approach.
Thirdly - he bought the whole field, it is a package.
It has the very good and priceless and the sacrifices as well.
That is why the Lord Jesus Christ also said to His disciples in Matthew 16:24:
"If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”
Denying self and taking up your own cross means there are sacrifices
associated with being part of the kingdom of heaven.
We need to accept the sacrifices as well.
The sacrifice is summarized by-
you cease to live for yourself and begin to live for Jesus Christ,
you seek His will in all you do.
Seeking and allowing the will of God to be accomplished in your life is carrying His cross.
That's why Galatians 2:20 says "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live;
yet not I, but Christ liveth in me:
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (KJV).
That is why Lord Jesus taught us to pray and say "Your will be done" in Matthew 6:10.
He desires the best for you in every situation and
His grace, His unmerited favour is sufficient for you,
He is love and He is good.
He is righteous and He is holy.
He is just.
Because of these attributes your life is at its best when you do His will.
The Psalmist says “For the Lord God is a sun and shield:
the Lord will give grace and glory:
no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.” Psalms 84:11 KJV
Therefore child of God remember the kingdom of heaven brings you a completed joy of salvation package,
but you need to give it your whole heart and take the full package,
do not pick and choose the very good bits and leave the not so good bits.
Take the completed joy and the sacrifices that come with it.
Yes indeed find your pearl of great price,
sell everything you have and go buy it. That is the kingdom of heaven.
When you are ready-
Prayer of consecration:
Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die for my redemption and to usher me into eternal life.
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 working, every influence and every deception of the enemy satan
and his demons upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Lord Jesus I thank you for the sacrifice you made for me
so that I can know God and be part of the kingdom of heaven.
Thank you for the complete package of salvation.
I give my whole heart to you.
I deny self, and take up my cross to follow you.
In all I do Lord I will seek your will.
Thank you for the grace I need for every day.
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Year in Focus
2026 The Year of Almighty God's Special Treasure
2026 is the year of Almighty God’s special treasure.
In this year, Almighty God wants you to engage with Him as a person after His own heart who desires to accomplish His purpose, plan and will.
A person who seeks the burden of Almighty God as you pray and intercede, as you witness the love of Jesus Christ through your various platforms
and as you exercise faithful stewardship of your time, of the mysteries of God entrusted to you and of substance.
His word tells us in Psalms 89:19-23:
'Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and said: “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20 I have found My servant, David; With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom My hand shall be established; also, My arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him (NKJV).
23 I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him.'
In 2026 there is help ordained for you from Almighty God. You have been waiting upon God with your heart focused on Him, on establishing His hand on Planet Earth.
Receive the help of God. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit flow upon your life as you meditate on His word.
What you need to know:
Our Almighty God is a faithful God, that means He is trustworthy, He is dependable and follows things through.
His word tells us:
'He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.' I Thessalonians 5:24.
'Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.' Genesis 28:15 (NKJV).
'Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses. ' 1 Kings 8:56 (NKJV).
Remember:
'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.' Numbers 23:19-20 (NKJV).
(see also Isaiah 46:9-11, Isaiah 14:24-27)
What you need to understand and have a revelation of:
There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
His word tells us:
'Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.'
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NKJV).
Remember also:
'Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 'Exodus 12:40-41 (NKJV).
In fact, it was precise to the second- at midnight, at the stroke of midnight first-borns were struck and Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said -Go and serve your God.
We read in Galatians 4:4-5:
'But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.' (NKJV).
In your life and in the Ministry, you need to wait upon Him, but while you wait be busy doing what needs to be done today.
What you need to do-
a) Keep your eyes on the word of God.
His word tells us:
'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.' Colossians 3:16 (NKJV).
'Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' John 8:31-32 (NKJV).
b) Be conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.
We read in John 14:15-17 (AMPC):
' If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever–
17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.'
c) Be in prayer.
His word teaches us:
'Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ' Ephesians 6:18-19 (NKJV).
d) Remember your personal prayer agenda with God.
His word teaches us:
'Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”' Luke 18:6-8 (NKJV).
Psalms 91:15 tells us:
'He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.' (NKJV).
Almighty God has promised to answer you as you ask in the name of Jesus Christ.
We love you as we invite you to be counted as Almighty God's special treasure in 2026 and beyond.
As you run with the vision, we are praying for you and wish you a 2026 filled with the victory that comes from God.
Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.
In the service of Jesus Christ
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
