That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me.
I am the LORD, and there is no other;
“Rain down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,
And let righteousness spring up together.
I, the LORD, have created it. Isaiah 45:6, 8 NKJV.
The word of God teaches us that when the Son of Man Jesus Christ is lifted up,
He will draw men to Himself.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish or come to destruction
but should have everlasting, eternal life (John 3:14-16).
Our duty is to lift up Jesus Christ in all we do.
He will draw many to Himself.
Point of reflection:
We lift up Jesus Christ as we exalt the name of the Father, as we declare His goodness in our lives.
As we talk with grace, glory and goodness.
As we let the goodness of God in us affect those around us.
The creation is awaiting for the manifestation of the children of God (Romans 8:19).
As children of God manifest the nature of God in them (the God-kind) they lift up Jesus Christ.
Walk in victory child of God, let the reality of the Jesus Christ in you show itself forth to the world.
Cry for the manifestation of the Christ through you.
For this to happen you need to allow the word of God
to take root in you so that you experience its reality in your everyday life by faith.
Experience the joy of God which is unspeakable or inexpressible,
the peace of God which passes all understanding, and show forth the confidence and self-assurance
which only come through the experience of the divine.
The world around you will see that you exude and exhibit the Jesus Christ nature- the God-kind
and will want to explore and find out what it is that God has given to you
and that made you to become what you are and who you are.
When this happens those around you will want to be like you.
We also lift up Jesus Christ to the world as we pray for Almighty God to reveal Himself in the lives of people, for salvation of souls,
as we pray the Lord of the harvest to bring forth labourers into His harvest,
as we pray for the word of the Lord to be preached in power with manifestation of undeniable miracles.
Glory be to God forevermore.
Do you desire that? When you are ready-
Prayer of commitment:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for salvation in Jesus Christ.
I open my heart to you Lord Jesus Christ, I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I renounce every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
Thank you Father for allowing me to manifest the Christ nature in my life.
I pray Father that you pour out your Holy Spirit upon Planet Earth,
which will cause your righteousness to rain O God.
Pour down your salvation O God that the whole earth may be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
Let your word go forth with power and manifest signs,
undeniable miracles through the name of your Son Jesus Christ.
We ask you Lord of the harvest, to send forth labourers into your harvest......
Raise men and women of power and vision in this community, in this nation,
in this continent and across Planet Earth..........
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.
