Title: The mercy and favour of God is upon you.
“But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy,
and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.”Genesis 39:21 KJV.
Joseph had a dream from God. He cherished and guarded this dream.
As we read this story it begins by telling us that his father loved Joseph and gave him a coat of many colours.
Jesus Christ has loved you with everlasting love.
His word teaches us in John 13:1:
“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come
that he should depart out of this world unto the Father,
having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.”
His word also tells us that His love for us is of the greatest quality in John 15:13:
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
Your Heavenly Father loved you and also gave you a coat of many colours.
This speaks of the various gifts and abilities in you.
Never despise your gifts.
Know that you are a part of the body of Christ and have functions in the body of Christ.
No part of the body can do without the other.
1 Corinthians 12:12 says “For as the body is one, and hath many members,
and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.”
Verse 21 of the same chapter goes on to say: And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee:
nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”
So child of God, know that there is a purpose for which God is raising you.
Going back to the story of Joseph- he was thrown into a deep pit,
then sold to Ishmaelites who took him to Egypt
where he was sold (for the second time) to Potiphar an officer of Pharaoh.
From there he was sent to prison for an offence he had not committed.
From the prison he became prime minister of Egypt and God's purpose was fulfilled in his life, finally.
Notice that in that journey, Joseph remained positive.
Without an apostle or pastor to guide him and without a written scripture, he knew his God.
He knew Romans 8:28 which says:
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
He loved God for sure and had been called according to His purpose,
he had set himself apart to do the will of God.
Each and every situation he went through though seemingly negative
was taking him a step closer to accomplishing his God ordained purpose.
In the process he was getting tougher and more resilient.
Let's examine the purposes- the pit- was for waiting for the Ishaemalites to arrive.
Sold to Ishmaelites- purpose to take him to Egypt where purpose of God awaited him.
Sold to Potiphar - purpose - Potiphar was officer of Pharaoh who knew how to send people to the secure prison.
Sent to prison - purpose- that's where the butler and baker of Pharaoh were also to come -
these remember were the journalists who reported Joseph to Pharaoh.
It would have been very easy for Joseph to mourn, pity-party, get into depression etc.
instead he remained positive and the presence, the favour and mercies of God manifested on him more and more.
What key did he possess- he had consecrated, set himself apart for the purpose and will of God.
Everything thrown at him was propelling him towards his mission and purpose.
Lamentation 3:22-23 says “It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”
Finally Joseph became Prime Minister of Egypt, his wisdom in accurately interpreting Pharaoh's dream,
not only saved the nation and the region but also his own household
and the purpose and mission of God was accomplished.
The whole story is Messianic.
What a journey to mission that was!
Point of Reflection:
Thank God for loving you in Jesus Christ with everlasting, highest quality love
and for giving you a coat of many colours.
Consecrate, set yourself apart for Him, for His purpose and for doing His will.
Declare to satan you have nothing in him and he has nothing in you,
that he was defeated on the cross and has been judged and sentenced to eternity in the Lake of Fire.
Thank the Lord for His favour and mercy upon your life
as you accomplish His purpose and will upon Planet Earth.

Year in Focus
2026 The Year of Almighty God's Special Treasure
2026 is the year of Almighty God’s special treasure.
In this year, Almighty God wants you to engage with Him as a person after His own heart who desires to accomplish His purpose, plan and will.
A person who seeks the burden of Almighty God as you pray and intercede, as you witness the love of Jesus Christ through your various platforms
and as you exercise faithful stewardship of your time, of the mysteries of God entrusted to you and of substance.
His word tells us in Psalms 89:19-23:
'Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and said: “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20 I have found My servant, David; With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom My hand shall be established; also, My arm shall strengthen him.
22The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him (NKJV).
23 I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him.'
In 2026 there is help ordained for you from Almighty God. You have been waiting upon God with your heart focused on Him, on establishing His hand on Planet Earth.
Receive the help of God. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit flow upon your life as you meditate on His word.
What you need to know:
Our Almighty God is a faithful God, that means He is trustworthy, He is dependable and follows things through.
His word tells us:
'He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.' I Thessalonians 5:24.
'Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.' Genesis 28:15 (NKJV).
'Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses. ' 1 Kings 8:56 (NKJV).
Remember:
'God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.' Numbers 23:19-20 (NKJV).
(see also Isaiah 46:9-11, Isaiah 14:24-27)
What you need to understand and have a revelation of:
There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
His word tells us:
'Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.'
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (NKJV).
Remember also:
'Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 'Exodus 12:40-41 (NKJV).
In fact, it was precise to the second- at midnight, at the stroke of midnight first-borns were struck and Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said -Go and serve your God.
We read in Galatians 4:4-5:
'But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.' (NKJV).
In your life and in the Ministry, you need to wait upon Him, but while you wait be busy doing what needs to be done today.
What you need to do-
a) Keep your eyes on the word of God.
His word tells us:
'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.' Colossians 3:16 (NKJV).
'Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' John 8:31-32 (NKJV).
b) Be conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.
We read in John 14:15-17 (AMPC):
' If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever–
17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.'
c) Be in prayer.
His word teaches us:
'Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ' Ephesians 6:18-19 (NKJV).
d) Remember your personal prayer agenda with God.
His word teaches us:
'Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them?
I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”' Luke 18:6-8 (NKJV).
Psalms 91:15 tells us:
'He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.' (NKJV).
Almighty God has promised to answer you as you ask in the name of Jesus Christ.
We love you as we invite you to be counted as Almighty God's special treasure in 2026 and beyond.
As you run with the vision, we are praying for you and wish you a 2026 filled with the victory that comes from God.
Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.
In the service of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
