Title: It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ that you arise and shine

 with the light of God.

“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 

For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people;

 But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1-2 NKJV.

As you accept the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ when He suffered, died and rose again,

and acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, 

He desires to lift you up so that you can shine with the light of God.

 For this to happen He needs to make you a kind, a God kind. 

You need to allow the word of God to dwell in you richly in all wisdom (Colossians 3:16),

 to allow your mind to be transformed by the word of God. (Romans 12:2). 

You also need to allow the Holy Spirit of God to empower you. 

That is why Jesus Christ told His disciples in Acts 1:7-8 (NKJV): 

And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times

or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. 

But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;

and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, 

and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”


Point of reflection:

 Every living thing which God made has in itself a seed

 capable of producing and multiplying after its kind.(Genesis 1:24-25). 

The most powerful Seed there can ever be however is the Word of God that produces after its kind, the God kind. (Luke 8:11-15). 

The word of Almighty God is Spirit and it is life (John 6:63).

Jesus Christ is the word of God (John 1:14, Revelations 19:13).

Desire the word of God to work in your life,

 earnestly desire to be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit. 

You have a responsibility to prepare your heart to be good ground for the word. 

Critically you need to have a positive attitude to the word of God, 

let it penetrate deep into your mind, meditate upon it and embrace it whole-heartedly. 

As you do that the word of God will take root in you and will produce the fruit of the God-kind in you.

Do you desire that? 

When you are ready-

Prayer of commitment:

Heavenly Father I thank you for sending your one and only Son to suffer, die and rise again.

 I  ask you today Jesus Christ to be my Lord. 

You can have me with all that I am and with all that I am not, I give my life to you. Lord you can have me as your portion and as your inheritance.

I reject the enemy satan and his demons and in the name of Jesus Christ I command you to let me go and serve God.

 You have nothing in me and I have nothing in you. 

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

 I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

I accept and embrace my Helper, my Comforter, my Counsellor, my Intercessor, 

my Advocate, my Strengthener, my Guide, my Teacher in the name of Jesus Christ.

Today Father I thank you for the strength to arise and shine with the light of Jesus Christ.

I bring before you the political leaders of this nation, this continent and the nations of Planet Earth.

I pray for wisdom as they make important decisions for peace and well-being.

I pray for your leading and guidance.

In Jesus Christ's name 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.

Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
