Title: Hope triumphs in trouble.
"Therefore, having been justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand,
and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations,
knowing that tribulations produces perseverance;
and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
Now hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit" Romans 5:1-5 NKJV.
"Blessed be, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ". 1 Peter 1:3 NKJV.
Here, the word of God tells us that hope takes away shame.
Hope is a product of experience,
experience is a product of patience,
patience is a product of tribulations.
Where there is life there is hope, where there is hope there is life.
Because living without hope is not life its just existing.
We are born again into a lively hope by the spirit of Jesus Christ.
Christ in us is the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27).
If we face challenges and trials we will hope in every promise.
Trials are therefore sent our way so that they produce in us perseverance,
in other words they make us tough, they help strengthen our resolve.
They make us hold fast to the promises of God,
they make our experience with God more intense.
They make us therefore to value our eternal destination
and that produces in us character or steadfastness.
It is like pressing grapes to get the juice-
the pressing will be hard but it produces the juice and removes the chuff.
Therefore remember when trials and tests come your way, they take you back to the word of promise
and there you experience God, with repeated experiences of God comes steadfastness
this is the fuel you need for the journey. Glory be to God.
Take time to celebrate your justification through faith in Jesus Christ,
that brings you peace with the Father every day of your life.
Remember this: because Jesus Christ is alive, our hope in Him is alive, it is living-
it is a lively hope- it is a hope that will ultimately result in accomplishing of the thing
we hope for. Glory to Almighty God!
Take some time to declare your lively hope in the living Jesus Christ.
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration:
Heavenly Father I thank you that by faith in Jesus Christ I am justified and have peace with you everyday.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
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 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, accept and embrace with joy and gladness the abundant outpouring of your Spirit
upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Almighty God in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for being my hope,
my strength and the anchor of all that is value in my life.
Help me to hold fast to the truth that Christ in me is the only hope of glory.
Thank you for giving me repeated experiences of your presence, power and grace.
In Jesus Christ's name. 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.
