Title: At the centre of the will of Almighty God in Jesus Christ for you is that you may know Him intimately.

“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Matthew‬ ‭6:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, 
being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians‬ ‭3:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

At the centre of the will of Almighty God in Jesus Christ is that you may know Him intimately. 

A lot of times people ask "What do you mean?" 

The question really is who do you know very closely?

 Parent, spouse, friend, colleague? 

You know them to the point where you can predict how they would react to a given situation- 

Almighty God desires you to know Him much more intimately than that. 

That is why the Lord Jesus Christ prayed in John 17:3:

 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”(KJV). 

When you know God, you have eternal life. 

You cannot know Him without a detailed knowledge of His word 

as His word reveals His nature and character and His word is truth. 

‭‭His word says in John 3:16:

 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (KJV).

 It also says “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved 

(except the name of Jesus Christ). (Acts 4:12 KJV).

 It further says in Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

The difficulty for many people is that the knowledge of God is in their blind spot,

in other words -they do not know what they do not know.

 The knowledge of God opens before you a whole knew world

 which you may never have known existed. 

You need to have the desire to know Him and then take the time to seek Him

 through spending time in fellowship with Him in prayer and reading His word. 

Call for Action: 

Will you commit to knowing Him intimately? 

Will you commit to spending time in fellowship with Him?

Take some time to commit yourself to Him,

When you are ready-

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die for me. 

I believe Jesus Christ rose from the dead on third day and is alive today. 

I ask you Lord Jesus Christ to come into my life, forgive my sin and make me a child of God.

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 in the name of Jesus Christ.

I ask you Father to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ.

 Thank you that you say in your word, that if we know how to give good gifts to our children, 

 how much more will you heavenly Father give me the Holy Spirit as  I ask you. 

I therefore receive, accept and embrace the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name in the name of Jesus Christ.

 From today I commit myself to seeking you and to knowing you Lord Jesus Christ. 

I ask you to reveal yourself to me.

I present before you your people in every nation of Planet Earth and ask that they may know you

 the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

 In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.

Year in Focus:

2026 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.

22The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

23 I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him.'

What you need to know: 

Your 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.

'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. ' I Kings 8:56.

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

(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.

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.

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.'

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.

'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.

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.

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.

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.'

Almighty God has promised to answer you as you ask in the name of Jesus Christ.

Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.

In the service of Jesus Christ.

Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
