Title: Let God Almighty be the God whose you are and whom you serve.
"For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
saying Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo,
God has given to thee them that sail with thee." Acts 27: 23-24 KJV.
The apostle Paul could boldly speak of Almighty God as "whose I am and whom I serve".
Why? Because not only had he acknowledged Jesus Christ as Lord, and been born again- but also he had
consecrated and set himself apart for Almighty God.
He had set his love upon Almighty God. (Psalm 91:14).
He had told Almighty God: "You can have me Lord as your portion and as your inheritance." (Deuteronomy 32:9).
He had given himself to Almighty God as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. (Romans 12:1).
Point of Reflection:
After acknowledging the risen Jesus Christ as Lord, you are born again,
adopted to become a child of Almighty God, and a member of the household of God.
You become the righteousness of Almighty God in Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21)
You are justified by faith and by faith alone (Romans 5:1).
At this point you need to take another step of faith- to set yourself apart for God,
to consecrate yourself for Him.
This is a decision you need to make and declare to Almighty God-
I am giving myself to you with all that I am and with all that I am not.
At the same time you are also making a declaration to the enemy of Almighty God and mankind satan-
I have nothing in you and you have nothing in me.
I was bought by the blood of Jesus Christ- let me go and serve God.
This is a declaration for sanctifying yourself or setting yourself apart to live a holy life.
Holiness is co-operating with the Holy Spirit in the way you think, the way you talk and the way you act.
Holiness is refusing to co-operate with the enemy of Almighty God and
mankind satan in the way you think, talk and act.
When you have done this and live by this- you become an extension of Almighty God on the earth
and Almighty God will reveal to you His agenda for mankind.
It is a highly privileged position.
You become part of a team that establishes Almighty God's hand on the earth.(Psalms 89:21)
Almighty God declares- you have set your love upon me.
He declares- He will deliver you from the attacks of the enemy,
He will honour you and when you call upon His name He will answer you. (Psalms 91:14-15).
(Psalms 89:26).
That is why Elijah the prophet could say
"As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand,
there shall be no dew or rain these years but according to my word." (1 Kings 17:1)
Notice the term - before whom I stand-
was a statement of boldness from a man who had consecrated and set his life apart for God.
You can do the same and be the same. Glory be to Almighty God.
Why don't you take some time to set yourself apart for Almighty God.
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father I thank you for giving me Jesus Christ through whom
I am the righteousness of Almighty God.
Thank you that through Jesus Christ I am justified by faith and have peace with God.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life 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 upon my life
in the name of Jesus Christ.
From today, I declare I am yours Lord with all that I am and with all that I am not- I give my life to you.
Have your way in my life.
I bring my brethren from across Planet Earth before you and pray for your grace to serve you.
I pray the God of the harvest- send labourers into your harvest in
every village of every nation across Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ.
Open a way Father for the true word of salvation through Jesus Christ
to be preached in every nation of 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 be standing in 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.
