Title: To experience God of Jesus Christ in your life,
it is critical that you be holy as He is holy.
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14 NKJV
“For I am the LORD your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy.
Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
For I am the LORD who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God.
You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.” Leviticus 11:44-45 NKJV.
Holiness is co-operating with the Holy Spirit in the way you think, the way you talk and the things you do.
Holiness is refusing to co-operate with the enemy of God and mankind satan,
in the way you think, the way you talk and the things you do.
The Holy Spirit is the standard for Holiness. Jesus Christ was hundred percent human
and also one hundred percent God. He lived a holy life.
In every situation you could ask yourself: "In this situation how would Jesus Christ have thought,spoken and acted?"
To answer that question you need to know the word of God, the scriptures.
Knowing the word of God is therefore critical for holiness.
Point of reflection:
His word says in Hebrews 12 as above "Pursue peace with all men and holiness, without which no-one shall see the Lord."
Seeing the Lord referred to here is not just talking about heaven,
it is referring to seeing and experiencing the working of God in this life right here on earth.
Living a holy life is therefore a pre-requisite to experiencing the life of God in your life.
His word goes further to say in Leviticus as above: I am the Lord your God,
consecrate or set yourself apart to serve and worship me alone and be holy, for I am holy.
His word goes further to say: I brought you out of Egypt to be your God,
you shall therefore be holy because I am holy.
Egypt is an image of the life we lived before knowing Jesus Christ and His salvation, the life of bondage to the enemy satan..
Critical point here is that God says He wants "to be your God"
this refers to being your all in all, your everything, your defining attribute in every situation you face and experience,
as the one who puts you in right standing with Him through Jesus Christ, your righteousness first and foremost
and then experiencing Him as our provider and source of all provision,
your guide and shepherd, your giver of peace, joy, well-being and emotional satisfaction,
your healer and giver of health, your victory banner, the One who defends and protects you,
the One who is present with you all the time.
For God to be your God (or reveal Himself to you, to be your all), you need to be holy
(see planetministries.org.uk/message/promises/IwillbeGodtoyou).
Putting it differently holiness is a necessary pre-requisite to experience God- because that is His nature.
Its like getting wet- you need to jump into the pool- you could scream and shout all you want outside the pool-
to get wet you need to jump in. To keep wet you need to remain in.
Receiving Jesus Christ gives you access to the pool, holiness keeps you in the water.
To live a holy life you need to know God and to overcome the wicked one through a strong conviction of His word. (1John 2:12-14).
His word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalms 119:105).
The psalmist says in Psalm 119:11(NKJV):
Your word have I hidden in my heart that I may not sin against you.
To live a holy life you also need to be filled with the Holy Spirit who will be your inner compass.
By the Holy Spirit God will put His laws in your mind and write them in your heart ( Hebrews 8:10).
Steps to holiness:
a) Acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord- you become born again
b) Set yourself apart and consecrate yourself for Almighty God- this is a decision followed by a declaration you make-
I am yours Lord with all that I am and with all that I am not I give myself to you.
(adjust your lifestyle, embrace the word of God and a life of prayer)
c) Reject the enemy satan and his demons- this is a decision followed by a declaration followed by action-
satan and demons I reject you, you have nothing in me and I have nothing in you,
you were defeated publicly by Jesus Christ on the cross- I command you to let me go and serve my God.
(If you have any charms, or items of demonic, satanic worship get rid of them,
adjust your lifestyle to rid of activities associated with satanic activity).
d) Be filled with the Holy Spirit- He will empower you, lead you and guide you- He is the game-changer.
e) Continue in the word and in prayer and let your mind be renewed daily-
and as this happens you begin to grow in the knowledge of Almighty God.
Do you desire this?
When you are ready-
Prayer of consecration:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for sending your Son to suffer and die for my sin.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself to live for you and to serve you Lord.
I reject every working, every deception and every influence of the enemy satan and his demons in my life 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 the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life right now in the name of Jesus Christ
I present my life, my family to you...................
I present this Ministry to you.............................. lead, guide and direct.....
Today Father we remember Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Ukraine, DRC Congo, Sudan, South Sudan, Venezuela, Mozambique, Yemen
and every other part of the world where there is war, unrest and strife and bring them before you.
We bring before you the defenceless victims of war.................
You Lord who makes wars to cease from the ends of the earth-
we ask you right now Father to intervene in the name of Jesus Christ. Do Father that which only God can do.
We bring the world leaders before you and ask you by your Spirit to direct them in the way of righteousness.
We come against the principalities of war and bloodshed and in the name of Jesus Christ
command you to cease your operations right now.
You were defeated, disarmed, stripped naked and humiliated publicly by Jesus Christ on the cross.
We take authority over you, right now in the name of Jesus Christ.
In the name of Jesus Christ we 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.
