Title: Let your light shine.
'Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. '
2 Corinthians 2:14 NKJV.
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 KJV.
Child of God it is the desire of Almighty God in Jesus Christ that you be an imparter of hope,
a light, a condiment and a sweet aroma in the lives of those you encounter.
He desires that you manifest a fragrance, a perfume, a sweetness,
and a savoury nature that declares the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
That you manifest a goodness that imparts hope and makes people wonder
and ask "What is it about this person? He/she is amazing!"
This is what Jesus Christ meant when He said
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.”
Matthew 5:14 KJV.
And when He said you are the salt of the earth. (Matthew 5:13).
You may ask :How does this happen? Acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of your life.
Then let the word of God renew your mind, as you read and meditate on it day by day
and renounce every working of the enemy satan from your life
and finally ask Jesus Christ to fill and empower you with His Holy Spirit.
As you allow His word to transform your mind,
you will not be conformed to this world anymore,
but you will walk and live with the confidence that comes from Almighty God.
You become a person of character, stature, achievement and self-assurance.
You will become an imparter of hope, goodness and a positive spirit
which breaks every barrier. You will also release a fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus Christ to the people you encounter, be it at school, work, business, in your travels, in recreational activities and any other activities you may be engaged in.
Glory be to Almighty God forevermore.
Call for Action:
Do you desire to let the light of Jesus Christ empower you and shine to others through you and to leave a fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus Christ to all the people you may encounter?

I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you alone.
I reject, renounce and denounce every working, every influence and every deception
of the enemy satan and his demons from my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

I remember your children across Planet Earth today and pray for boldness
to manifest the light of Jesus Christ to the world and that they may leave a fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus Christ to every person they encounter.
I ask Father for utterance to be granted to your servants as they preach the good news of Jesus Christ
and deliver people from darkness to light, from the power of satan to the power of Almighty God.
In the name of Jesus Christ 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 (NKJV):
'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 (NKJV).
'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. ' I 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.'
Almighty God has promised to answer you as you ask in the name of Jesus Christ (NKJV).
Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.
In the service of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
