Title: Have faith in God.
“NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for,
being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality
[faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].” Hebrews 11:1 AMP.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1 NKJV
To receive anything from Almighty God you need to have a spiritual substance called faith.
As much as the pound, the dollar, yen etc are currencies we use to receive goods on the earthly kingdoms,
to receive from God you need faith and it is a substance, a spiritual substance.
It is critical for you to understand how this substance is obtained
(in as much as we need to understand how to get money in the earthly kingdoms) and how it is used.
Without faith it is impossible to please God.
Hebrews 11:6 tells us: But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is,
and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (NKJV).
Point of Reflection:
Romans 10:17 tells us: So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (NKJV).
Faith comes by hearing the word of God with the correct attitude of mind which allows
your soul-basically your mind- (intellect, emotions, will and conscience) to view God positively
as a being who is righteous, full of loving kindness, faithful, just, holy and intrinsically good.
This attitude acknowledges that in Jesus Christ- Almighty God has already given us all things we need for life and godliness. (2 Peter 1:3).
This attitude allows the word to penetrate deep into your being.
Hence the word of God says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).
Putting it differently, the word of God has built within itself the supernatural substance called faith,
however the word needs to penetrate deep enough into your being to explode and release that substance.
You need intimacy with the word of God. You need the word of God to interact with you at a deep level.
When the spiritual substance is released and you have got it, you know in the mind but also in the spirit that it is done.
It can also be referred to as hearing, hearing- hearing not just with the physical ears but with spiritual ears.
That is why Jesus Christ said "He who has ears, let them hear." (Luke 8:8).
I do not believe there was a physically deaf person in that crowd. Jesus Christ was referring to spiritual deafness.
Spiritual deafness is hearing the word of God with your physical ears but without the enabling spiritual attitude.
Understand the word of God, take time to meditate upon it, talk it back to God in prayer,
talk it back to yourself in making declarations of faith.
Do you desire to have the faith of God? Start by making a commitment to embrace Almighty God positively.
When you are ready-
Prayer of commitment:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my sin.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
Thank you for your loving kindness which is better than life and for your mercies which are new every morning.
Thank you that Jesus Christ became sin for me so that I may become the righteousness of God.
I reject every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life
and I command you to let me go and serve my God.
I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit, right now.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life by faith in the operation of God.
I receive and embrace the supernatural working of your word in my life.
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.
