Title: Obedience to Jesus Christ makes you a special treasure to Him.
“Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant,
then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people:
for all the earth is mine:
And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.
These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.” Exodus 19:5-6 KJV.
“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.” 1 Samuel 15:22 KJV.
The Lord Jesus Christ values and treasures greatly your obedience to Him.
Obedience on the other hand comes from a heart which has total and complete trust in God.
A heart that has understood His attributes-
that He is righteous, He is love, He is powerful, He is holy, He is faithful, He is just, He is good,
His loving kindness is better than life,
His mercies are new every morning and He is Lord of all.
A heart that understands that He desires the best for you in every given situation,
even when sometimes it's not immediately apparent to you.
Your heart should be totally sold out to the fact that
our Almighty God is a rewarder of those who seek Him diligently.
Obedience is seeking Him, and executing His will, His agenda and His purpose.
Remember: "Well done good and faithful servant;
you were faithful over a few things,
I will make you ruler over many things.
Enter into the joy of your lord" Matthew 25:21 NKJV.
This statement was to a servant who had executed the will of the Master.
You have heard it said that
one's value to one's superiors and bosses lies in their sendability.
We all value the person we can send to do something and know it's done.
The same applies to our heavenly Father.
When you obey Him, when He can ask you to do something
and He knows you will do it, He says you are a special treasure to Him,
a royal priest, His own peculiar person,
God's own person, a sign and a wonder. (See also 1 Peter 2:9).
You may ask where do I begin? It all sounds very good.
Your starting point is in obedience to the message of the gospel.
Acknowledging that Jesus Christ, Son of God came to this world to die for your sin,
shed His blood that you may be forgiven,
but on third day God raised Him from the dead and is alive today.
Open your heart to Him and acknowledge Him as Lord.
Jesus Christ by His Spirit will regenerate your spirit,
change you from inside by His grace and give you the capacity to obey God.
When you are saved, regenerated or born again
you will have received the ability to obey God.
That is why Romans 10:9 says:
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.”KJV.
After that you need to begin a process of renewing your mind with the word of God.
Take time to commit yourself to obeying Almighty God.
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father I thank you for sending your Son Jesus Christ to die for my sin.
I acknowledge you, the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life from today.
Thank you for changing me from the inside.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I reject, denounce and renounce every working, every influence and every deception
of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill and empower me by your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive, accept and embrace the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life
in the name of Jesus Christ.
Thank you Father for saving me and giving me the capacity to obey God.
In Jesus Christ's name 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.
