Title:The word of God in Jesus Christ makes your way prosperous and gives you good success.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,
that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8 KJV.
For the child of God one of the critical determinants of your success in the things of this life
and in things of godliness is the amount of and quality of the word of God in you.
Remember Jesus Christ is the word of God. (John 1:1, 14).
The word of God is spirit and life. (John 6:63).
The word of God also admonishes us in Proverbs 4:20-22
"My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes;
Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.” KJV.
Here we are instructed to give attention, incline our ears- that is to listen attentively,
keeping the word in the midst of your heart- that is- know the word, learn it and memorise key verses of scripture
-keep your eyes on the word - that is, keep your focus on the word. Why?
The word makes your way to prosper and successful because it gives wisdom,
the word is life to those who find it, the word is healing and health to all your flesh.
Glory be to God forever and ever. Do you desire this?
If you do-
Point of reflection:
The word of God is an offensive weapon against the enemy satan (faith being a defensive weapon). (Ephesians 6: 14-17).
When Jesus Christ was being tempted by satan - He answered him each time: "It is written...." (Luke 4:3-12).
When satan tried to distort the word of God by mis-quoting - it did not work-
learning and understanding scripture needs to be done under supervision of men whom God has endowed with gifts-
Apostles (special messengers, sent ones), prophets (servants of God endowed with ability to speak the mind of God at any given time),
evangelists (servants of God endowed with ability to convert sinners to Christ)
pastors (shepherds) and
teachers (special endowment to explain and teach hidden things from the word of God). (Ephesians 4:11-13).
You need to deliberately and diligently set aside time to learn and understand the word of God on a consistent basis.
To do that you need to see value and have delight in seeking and studying the word of God.
Will you commit yourself to seeking Almighty God through His word and
under the supervision of His servants:
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank you for the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ.
Thank you that Jesus Christ your Son died for my sin and rose again for my justification.
I open my heart to you Lord Jesus Christ today and acknowledge you as Lord of my life.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you. 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 upon my life 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 upon my life
in the name of Jesus Christ.
I will seek to know you Lord through your word.
I ask for your help and wisdom as I commit to the renewal
and transformation of my mind through an understanding of your word.
Thank you Father for raising servants of Almighty God across Planet Earth to teach and preach your word.
Thank you Father for the abundant outpouring of your grace upon Planet Earth
to enable understanding of your word.
Thank you Father for the outpouring of your Holy Spirit that cause transformation
of the lives of people through your word across Planet Earth.
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

The Year in Focus: Best wishes for the New Year 2024, the Year of the Builder of the House of God. The year in which Almighty God is releasing the grace you need to complete the work He has started in your life.
Witnessing the love of Jesus Christ-increasing your reach, teaching and making disciples, building lives in Jesus Christ
as you pray and interceed for salvation of souls and for boots on the ground, as we give
substance to build physical churches across the nations.
This grace is powered by the seven fold anointings of the dominion of the Christ; The Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, The Spirit of Knowledge,
The Spirit of Understanding (Revelation), the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Counsel and the Spirit of the Obedient and Reverential Fear of the Lord.
In this year the Lord is declaring: "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by power or by might but by my Spirit says the Lord of Hosts.
Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And He shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of grace, grace to it.'" Zechariah 4:6-7.
You have been laying a foundation, but now is the time to complete the building. You need to tackle obstacles, whatever form or nature they come.
Your weapons are: a) Constantly releasing the grace of God, the favour of Almighty God, releasing the help of God. See also Acts 26:22-23.
b) Releasing the word of God, standing on His promises- not by power or by might but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts. Speak God's faithfulness;
God's victory over the enemy, God's blessing upon your life- as you work for God you are a blessed person. (Numbers 23:8, 19-21; Isaiah 46:9-11; Isaiah 14:24-26, Psalms 89:1-35).
c) Allow the continual working of the Holy Spirit upon your life. Make the Holy Spirit your companion, your Helper, Comforter, Standby, Guide, Intercessor, Advocate, Counselor, Strengthner
What you need to know:
1. Almighty God desires you to finish the work He has started through you.
In this year Almighty God is releasing for you the grace to complete what he has started through you. He says "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation stone of this temple,
His hands shall also finish it." Zechariah 4:9.
The foundation has been laid and now is time to finish the building.
Jesus said: “It is finished.”John 19:20. He was a finisher, He finished.
Apostle Paul of Tarsus, said “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”. 2 Timothy 4:7. He ran and finished. So did the other apostles and the other believers.
2. You need continuous cry for grace from the fullness of Jesus Christ (John 1:16), you need grace and peace to be multiplied to you (1 Peter 1:1-2). See also 1Timothy 6:12.
3. Remember the race is completed at the finishing line.
What you need to understand:
1. Almighty God accomplishes His mission by the operation of the seven fold anointings of dominion which declares: Not by power or by might but by My Spirit says the Lord who are you O great mountain, before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! Zechariah 4:6-7
2. While you need all seven candles burning, in this year the spearhead cry is the Spirit of Revelation. That God in Jesus Christ may reveal Himself to you,
and that He may reveal the plans He has for you, to you, that He may reveal to you the path you need to take to reach your intended destination.
Activities of 2024: where the rubber hits the road:
a) Cry for Almighty God to reveal Himself to you. In Jeremiah 33:3 He says: Call into Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things,
(hidden and fenced in things) you do not know. (AMP) Let Him reveal to you the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ. (Phillipians 3:8-10, Ephesians 1:15-22)
b) Cry for God to reveal to you the things He has prepared for you, the future He has prepared for you, the plan He has for you:
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who fear Him.”
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
c) Cry grace for holiness- you need to be in His presence. Seek holiness without which no man shall see God. (Hebrews 12:14). Seeing God here is experiencing Him.
See also Matthew 5:8; Leviticus 11:44-45
d) Cry grace for building the house of God- grace for witnessing Jesus Christ, ministering and building up people, grace for intercessory prayer,
grace to be a faithful steward of substance, the mysteries of God and the time God has given to you.
e) Be word conscious- this is the word of God to Zerubbabel asking who are you O great mountain, before Zerubbabel you shall be a plain.
Whatever obstacle may standing on your way, be it financial. human instruments or circumstantial- declare the word and command it to become a plain.
f) Be Holy Spirit conscious- the seven candles are powered by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said I will not leave you helpless, comfortless or orphaned,
but I will give you another Helper, Comforter, Standby, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthner, Counselor, Guide and Teacher that He may remain with you forever. (John 14:15- 18 AMP).
g) Be in prayer- pray for the servants of God, pray all manner of prayers.
In this year you need to move to a higher intensity of prayer, a higher gear in your prayer life. See also Ephesians 6:18.
We love you as we invite you to be counted among the builders of the house of God in 2024 and beyond. As you move to your finishing line,
as you put on your own capstone with shoutings of grace, grace to it. We are praying for you and wish you a 2024 filled with the victory that comes from God.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
