Title: In Jesus Christ Almighty God has adopted you to be His son
and a member of the household of God.
“But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority
(power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is,
to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name." John 1:12 AMP.
When you acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of your life, you are born again into the household of God.
Your human spirit which was dead is removed and a brand new spirit which is intermarried to the Spirit of Jesus Christ is put in you.
You become adopted as a son or daughter of God and become a member of God's own household
with the full rights and privileges of a son. You become born again into the household of God.
Hence His word says in 2 Corinthians 5:17: Therefore if anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation;
old things have passed away; behold all things have become new. (NKJV).
Almighty God then sees you exactly as He sees Jesus Christ.
His word says in Romans 8:15-17:
For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear,
but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry "Abba Father."
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
and if children, then heirs- heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. NKJV.
So you are an heir of the throne of God and a joint heir with Jesus Christ. Wow! Glory be to God.
Point of reflection:
Being adopted to be a member of God's household is the greatest honour any person can ever dream of.
That is why His word says in 1 John 3:1 :
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us,
that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.” KJV.
The adoption occurs by an operation of the Holy Spirit, that is why His word says
we have received not the Spirit of bondage again to fear but the Spirit of adoption which cries "Abba Father." Romans 8:15.
You have in Jesus Christ received the right of inheritance in the household of God, the biggest of this inheritance is eternal life.
Ephesians 2:19 goes further to say:
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners,
but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God.” KJV.
As you celebrate the honour and privilege of being an adopted child of God in Jesus Christ,
with full privileges, remember to seek the purpose for which God has raised you up,
the purpose that crowns your sonship, the purposes which He desires you to accomplish.
Your starting point is setting yourself apart for Him.
When you are ready-
Prayer of consecration:
Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending your own Son Jesus Christ to suffer, die and rise again.
I acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
In the name of Jesus Christ I reject you satan, your demons and every manifestation of evil.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself Lord to accomplish your purpose and will for my life on this earth.
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 Holy Spirit upon my life.
I thank you for the honour and privilege to be called a son of Almighty God.
Thank you for adopting me to be a member of your own household.
Thank you for making me an heir of the Father and a joint heir with Jesus Christ.
Today I celebrate sonship and the authority it bestows upon me over the enemy satan
and every manifestation of evil.
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 intercede 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 nor 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, Strengthener, 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.
