Title: The God of Jesus Christ who called you will go before you.
“Thus says the LORD to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held—
To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings,
To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut:
‘I will go before you and make the crooked places straight;
I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron'.” Isaiah 45:1-2 NKJV
As you commit yourself to live for Jesus Christ, to accomplish His will and purpose on the earth,
the Father makes a promise to you- to go before you.
This means before you take your journey, He will take it Himself first without you,
to map out the best route and remove potholes, any stumbling blocks and make crooked places straight,
where there are gates, bars and other obstacles on the way, He will break and remove them before you arrive.
Where the room was tight and narrow, He will widen it,
where decision makers need to give you room and way,
He will loosen their minds to be receptive to you as you accomplish His purposes on the earth.
Glory be to God forevermore.
Point of reflection:
In your journey with God, as you accomplish His purposes, a way must be made before you.
Celebrate the God who goes before you.
Allow His word to empower you to think like God, to discern His will and purpose for your life.
His word says God is at work in you both to will and to do His good pleasure (Philippians 2:13).
Allow His Holy Spirit as you meditate on His word to guide you and mould you into His will.
This will help you to see the way He has opened before you. His word says in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 NKJV
“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 love Him.'
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit.
For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.”
His word goes further to say that we have received the Spirit which is of God that
we may know the things that are freely given to us by God. (1 Corinthians 2:12).
Do you desire to discern His will for your life?
Do you desire to have your eyes opened to see and know the things
which have been freely given to you by Almighty God?
When you are ready-
Prayer for revelation:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your faithfulness and for your kindness.
Thank you for the grace I receive through the risen Jesus Christ whom I acknowledge as Lord of my life from today.
I reject every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I pray Father for the spirit of revelation that I may know the things that are freely given to me by God,
that I may know the path you have opened before me.
I yield my life to your will and purpose.
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 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.
