Title: God wants you to know.
“And Jesus said to him, 'Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.'”Luke 23:43 NKJV.
It is the desire of God that after you acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord of your life,
you enjoy God's salvation which was given to us as a free gift.
Remember the Word of God does not use vague or unsure language when it talks about salvation,
but the language is definite and without any doubt.
For example:Luke 23:43:Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.
Romans 10:13 NLT: For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
1 John 5:13 NLT “I have written this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know you have eternal life.”
John 3:36 NLT: And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life.
John 3:16 NLT: “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:17 NLT: "God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.”
(NLT- New Living Translation)
Point of reflection:
Remember your salvation is not through your works, but through what Jesus Christ did for you. It is a gift of God.
A gift is free and completely free. Hence His word says in Ephesians 2:8-9
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and it is not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. (NKJV).
If you work for something -it is no longer a gift, it is a wage or salary.
Grace is an undeserved, unmerited favour or gift emanating from action on the side of God.
Almighty God gave us - for free - Jesus Christ-
so that as you believe in Him (you need faith only) you may not perish but have eternal life.
Romans 5:1 says: Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
You are justified, made righteous, forgiven, born again, adopted by God to become a member of the household of God, redeemed by Jesus Christ-
by faith in the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for you- and faith alone.
Memorise the scriptures above because His word tells us in Romans 10:17: "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God."
His word also tells us in Matthew 4:4: "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God".
It is really profitable to memorise scriptures by heart as this will really build up your faith.
Prayer of thanksgiving:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my salvation.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as my Lord today.
Thank you that Jesus Christ died for my sin once and for all.
As your word says in Hebrews 10:14 that by one sacrifice Jesus Christ has made perfect forever those that are being made holy.
Thank you Father that in Jesus Christ I am made the righteousness of God.
Today I rejoice and celebrate your salvation. 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.
