“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:9-10 KJV.
“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink;
but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” Romans 14:17 KJV.
It is the desire of Almighty God in Jesus Christ that His kingdom be manifested in your life.
His word teaches us that God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power,
who went about doing good and healing all who were sick because God was with Him. (Acts 10:38).
Jesus Christ went about preaching the good news of the kingdom of God.
His desire and mission was for people to experience for themselves the kingdom of God in their own lives.
This is still the desire of Almighty God in Jesus Christ today, for His word declares Jesus Christ has not and does not change.
It says "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8 KJV.
The kingdom of God has four critical components or ingredients :
Righteousness -right standing with Almighty God,
allowing you access into the presence of God leading to adoption as sons
and redemption leading to eternal life,
Peace -total peace in your mind, body and total wellbeing,
Joy -described as joy unspeakable, joy inexpressible, triumphant, heavenly joy (1 Peter 1:8 AMP) and
Power - resulting in ruler-ship and dominion.
Righteousness occurs as you align with God's thinking as regards sin and reject to co-operate with the enemy satan (repentance).
You then acknowledge the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ when He suffered and died on the cross and rose again.
You finally acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord of your life.
He will forgive your sin and give you the gift of eternal life.
With this will come the peace of God which passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7)
and His joy inexpressible (1Peter 1:8).
His word teaches us that: “For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.”1 Corinthians 4:20 KJV.
The kingdom of God is to do with giving you dominion, authority and rulership over the enemy satan and over the affairs of this life.
His word also says in 1 Corinthians 2:4:
"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:”
As you seek His word and pray earnestly, yearn for and desire the manifestations of the kingdom of God on the earth and in your life.
Take some time to make declarations of faith:
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank you that your One and only Son Jesus Christ was manifested on the earth,
to release the kingdom of God into my life, and into billions of lives across Planet Earth.
I acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I reject you satan and your demons in the name of Jesus Christ.
I command you to let me go to serve my God.
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 the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I receive every manifestation of the kingdom of heaven upon my life.
Thank you for your righteousness, peace, joy and power in the name of Jesus Christ.
Father I ask you today, to pour out your Holy Spirit to cause salvation of souls
and a manifestation of the kingdom of Almighty God across Planet Earth,
in Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.

Year in Focus:
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a joyous and prosperous New Year 2025, the year of the Overcomer. In this year you are moving with three critical anointings which you need
to overcome the wicked one and have a personal breakthrough in the service of Almighty God.
These three anointings are: 1. A strong conviction on the promises of God powered by the working of the Holy Spirit in your life.
2. The knowledge of the word of God. In this year you are seeking and investing time in studying the word of God. In this year you want the word of God to dwell richly in you in all wisdom.
3. The knowledge of the Father, the knowledge of God and His essential attributes- He is holy, He is righteous, He is faithful,
He is just, His mercies are new every morning, His loving kindness is better than life. He does not fail you.
In this year you want God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself to you. For this to happen you need a personal prayer agenda with God.
We are praying for you to have your personal breakthrough in 2025 in the areas you have identified and presented before God.
Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
