Title: All things work together for good.
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God,
to those who are the called according to His purpose.
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son,
that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called;
whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified,
these He also glorified.”Romans 8:28-30 NKJV.
For those who love God and are called according to His will and purpose, all things work together for good.
The New Living Translation puts it this way,
"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God
and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28 NLT.
Point of reflection:
If you love God and are the called according to His purpose then God causes all things to work together for your good.
Everything that ever happens to you will be turned to work for your good
because God will have fore-known you and predestined you to be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus Christ.
He will also have justified you and made you to share in His glory.
This promise is to those who 1. Love God and 2. Are called according to His purpose. You may ask -do I qualify for this promise?
Yes you do if you love God, have acknowledged Jesus Christ as Lord of your life
and set yourself apart and consecrated yourself for Him- by making a declaration-
I am yours Lord with all that I am and with all that I am not- I give my life to you.
You have also rejected, denounced and renounced every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon your life.
Every person who acknowledges Jesus Christ as Lord, set themselves apart for God and
denounces every working of the wicked one- loves God and is called by Almighty God to accomplish His purposes in their lives.
For those people-all things will work together for good for you-
Remember Joseph was sold to Ishamaelites as a slave, then sold again as a slave to Potiphar in Egypt,
then accused falsely by Potiphar's wife and send to a maximum security prison.
Almighty God turned all these negative events and situations to work together for his good (Genesis 37-39).
Putting it differently, when you love God, have acknowledged the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of your life,
have set your life apart for Him and denounced and rejected satan and his demons from your life-
know assuredly that from that time onward- nothing will ever happen to you by accident.
Almighty God will make sure everything that happens to you will be for your good and for His purpose for your life.
Some of these events on the surface of it may look negative as in the case of Joseph.
Glory be to God forevermore.
Do you desire to be justified and glorified by God?
You need to love Him and let your life be according to His will and purpose.
You need to cry for His grace and His help because:
"The race is not to the swift,
nor the battle for the strong,
nor bread for the wise,
nor riches to men of understanding,
nor favour to men of skill,
but time and chance happen to them all" (Ecclesiastes 9:11 NKJV).
You need the grace and help of Almighty God to make the most of the time given to you
and make the most of the opportunities that Almighty God avails to you.
When you do, nothing will ever happen to you by accident. When you are ready-
Prayer of consecration:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending your Son to suffer and die for my sin.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life from today.
I love you Lord and I thank you for calling me to accomplish your purpose and will.
I set myself apart for you and your purposes on the earth.
I reject every influence, every working and every deception of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
Thank you that you will cause everything that will ever happen to me to work together for my good.
I therefore declare this day that all things work together for my good because
I love you and have been called according to your purpose and will.
I ask Lord that you fill and empower me by your Holy Spirit right now.
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.
