And  when the LORD saw it, He spurned them, because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters. 

And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be, 

for they are a perverse generation, children in whom is no faith. 

They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God;

 they have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols.

 But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation; 

I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.'"‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭32:18-21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

There is always the temptation to forget God following a blessing. 

It is critical that the child of God guards against that.

 It is important to put safeguards in your own life against a life that disregards God,

 that takes God for granted and that does not acknowledge Him when He does things in your life.

Point of reflection:

It is important to always commit your ways to the Lord and in all you do to acknowledge Him. 

It is important to build-in your life thanksgiving breaks. 

That is why His word says in Psalms 107: 21 NKJV:

“Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, 

and for His wonderful works to the children of men!”‭‭

Psalms 103:1-2 NKJV: 

goes further to say: “Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, 

bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:”‭

Yes it is important to take stock and acknowledge God, give Him thanks and glorify His name for what He has done for us.

His word teaches us in Luke 17:12-19: Then He entered a certain village, 

there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. 

And they lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

So when He saw them, He said to them, "Go, show yourself to the priests."

 And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. 

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,

 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And He was a Samaritan. 

So Jesus answered and said, "Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?"

 And He said to him, "Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well."

Here only one of ten and a foreigner returned to give glory to God. 

While others received healing in their bodies, the leper who returned to give thanks was not only healed,

 but was made whole, he obtained the full package of salvation.

Do you desire to commit your ways to God, to acknowledge Him in all you do, 

to give thanks to Him and to bless His Holy name always?

 Start by making a prayer of commitment:

 when you are ready-

Prayer of commitment:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you Father for your grace and mercy upon my life,

 thank you for your goodness and loving kindness which is better than life.

 Thank you for your salvation in Jesus Christ. 

Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.

 I commit myself Lord in all I do to acknowledge you, 

to commit my ways to you so that you direct my paths,

 to give thanks to your name and to bless your name always. 

Thank you Father for shining your face upon me always 

and for your mercies upon my life which are new every morning. 

I bless your holy name. 

We remember this nation, this continent and the nations of Planet Earth.

 Father we pray for an awakening that brings them to the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

We remember Planet Ministries and we ask Father that you accomplish your purpose to the full through it, 

as we send the word of the knowledge of Jesus Christ to Planet Earth.

 We ask you Father to confirm your word with signs and wonders, 

undeniable miracles of healing, deliverance and raising of the dead.

So that Planet Earth may be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Almighty God as the waters cover the sea.

In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

The Year in Focus: Best wishes for the  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.
