Title: Receive strength for the mountains.
“As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then,
so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.
Now therefore, give me this mountain of which the LORD spoke in that day;
for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified.
It may be that the LORD will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the LORD said.”Joshua 14:11-12 NKJV.
Caleb the son of Jephunneh at 85 years of age was as strong in faith and vision as he was at the age of 40.
He said God had kept him alive, strong and sharp.
He did not ask for the valleys and plains, no - he demanded the mountain.
He was now ready to possess the mountains.
Both mentally and physically, he was ready for the mountain.
Point of reflection:
You need renewal of strength for the mountain climb.
In the mountain is your blessing.
You also critically need mountain climbing skills.
You need to up-skill. His word says in Isaiah 40:31 NKJV:
"But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”
You also need to ask for the mountain, ask for great accomplishments for your God,
opportunities to bear much fruit for the kingdom of God.
Mountains are the things that challenge you, the things in which you feel you are getting out of your comfort zone.
Jesus Christ said in John 15: 7-8 NKJV :
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you,
you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.”
Remember your land of milk and honey, your blessing, your joy, peace, satisfaction
and all that follows is found in your fruitfulness for the kingdom of God.
Fruitfulness will come as you challenge yourself to doing things differently, challenging yourself to move into new areas.
You will need to sharpen your skills or even gain new skills in the process.
Do you desire strength to bear much fruit?
The word of God tells us in 2 Kings 19:3: And they said to him,
"Thus says Hezekiah:'This day is a day of trouble, and rebuke and blasphemy;
for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring them forth.
The strength for the mountains is the strength to bring forth- strength to push- strength and resilience for war.
We need to ask for strength to push for salvation of souls across Planet Earth, for souls to grow into disciples,
bringing up generations of the God-kind
When you are ready-
Prayer for strength:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your grace and mercy.
Thank you for giving me Jesus Christ through whom I have redemption,
forgiveness of sin and access into your presence.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today and
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ for strength to bear much fruit for you.
I reject the enemy satan and every demonic influence upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I declare that you were defeated, disarmed and stripped naked publicly and openly by Jesus Christ on the cross.
I ask you Father in the name of your Son Jesus Christ to open my eyes to see areas in which I need to renew,
sharpen and strengthen my skills for the harvest.
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.
