And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?”
John 11:25-26 KJV.
In Jesus Christ is the resurrection because Christ
having been raised from the dead will never die again forever.
Death has no power over Him.
When you receive Him as Lord of your life, your spirit is made alive
and joined to the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
When your physical body dies your spirit can no longer die
because it is joined to the spirit of Jesus Christ for all eternity.
Your spirit is also given the foretaste of eternity-
the foretaste of eternity is a necessary experience for every child of God
as it makes you bold to stand for Jesus Christ even at the point of death.
That is why Stephen in Acts continued preaching Jesus Christ as he was being stoned. (Acts 7:55-60).
Point of reflection:
Being given the foretaste of eternity is a critical experience for every child of God.
You need to have an experience of eternal life.
This makes you at peace with the thought that one day you will leave this present body.
It makes you live knowing you have only one life,
it will soon be past and only what's done for Jesus Christ will last into all eternity.
It makes you want to do your best for God everyday.
It removes from you the fear of death which has put a lot of people into bondage.
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood,
he also himself likewise took part of the same;
that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”
Hebrews 2:14-15 KJV.
Jesus Christ partook of flesh and blood- He took up a human body so that He could die
and by His resurrection destroy him satan, who had the power of death
and deliver you totally and completely from bondage of fear of death.
Glory be to God forever more.
You therefore need to experience for yourself - resurrection power.
That is why Philippians 3:10 says “That I may know him,
and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings,
being made conformable unto his death;”
This means to experience His resurrection power you need
to put on the same frame of mind He had as He suffered,
and as He died.. for you- appreciate His love for you- and for mankind.
Take some time to seek an experience of the resurrection life of Jesus Christ
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father I thank you for salvation and forgiveness of sin
in the name of the risen Jesus Christ.
I acknowledge you Jesus Christ as Lord of my life from today.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you. I say Lord you can have me as your portion and as your inheritance.
I reject, denounce and renounce every working, every influence and every deception
of the enemy satan and his demons in the name of Jesus Christ. I declare that you are judged in my body,
in my life and in my affairs 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 the abundant outpouring of your Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.
I thank you that Jesus Christ tasted death on my behalf and by His death and resurrection,
He destroyed satan to give me an experience of His resurrection power
and a real time taste of eternal life as well as total and complete victory over fear of death.
I bring before you your people in this nation and across the nations of Planet Earth
who have been subjected to bondage through the fear of death.
I ask you Father that by an experience of the resurrection power and the
resurrection life of Jesus Christ, they be totally set free from the bandage of the fear of death.
In Jesus Christ 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.
22The 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.'
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. ' 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.' (NKJV).
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.
