Title: Receive peace like a river.
“For thus says the LORD: 'Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.
Then you shall feed; on her sides shall you be carried, and be dandled on her knees.'"Isaiah 66:12 NKJV.
It is the desire of the Almighty God of Jesus Christ that you be not anxious
but that the peace of God rules in your hearts and minds.
In Jesus Christ the peace of God is extended to you like a flowing river.
Point of Reflection:
His word says in Philippians 4: 6-7 NKJV:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Note the peace of God is described here as "peace which surpasses all understanding".
Jesus Christ also said in John 14: 27 NKJV:
"Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
The Amplifies Version puts it this way: “Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you.
Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled,
neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed;
and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]”John 14:27 (AMPC).
The Pure Word Bible puts it this way: I am continuously giving you My peace.
So then say no to anxiety, fear and intimidation rather use prayer, supplication, thanksgiving
and a positive attitude to receive the peace of Jesus Christ, knowing Jesus Christ overcame the world.
Remember also that the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, Helper, Advocate, Standby and Strengthener
was given to us by the Father in the name of Jesus Christ.
Allow Him to comfort you.
Do you desire to experience every day of your life the peace of God like a river,
the peace which surpasses all understanding, which drives away anxiety, depression, agitation and fear?
When you are ready?
Prayer for deliverance:
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you that you sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my sin.
Thank you that Jesus Christ bought peace for us through the blood of His cross.
I confess the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I reject every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive the comfort of the Holy Spirit and the peace of God that surpasses knowledge
which will keep my heart and mind in Jesus Christ. I open my heart to the continuous flow of the peace of God upon my life. In Jesus Christ's name I pray.
On this day we remember the nations having General and Presidential elections in 2025- we ask for peace of Almighty God.
We also ask for the hand of Almighty God who knows the hearts of men
and knows what lays ahead to steer these elections according to His divine will and purpose.
We remember today all other nations having elections in 2025 including South Korea, Italy, Japan, Bolivia, Taiwan, Guyana, Norway, Macau, Malawi, Guinea, Gabon, Seychells, Moldova, Czech Republic, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Argentina, Tanzania, Iraq, Haiti, Chile, Guinea-Bissau, Honduras, Transnistria, Hong Kong and other not mentioned here by name.
We ask you Father for peace and opening of doors in these nations so that your word may be preached freely and that you may raise labourers for the harvest in these nations.
We pray for leaders in police, intelligence and politics to receive the wisdom from above and to be directed by Almighty God.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Year in Focus:
2025 The Year of the Overcomer.
His word says in 1 John 2:12-14:I write to you, little children,
Because your sins are forgiven you for His name’s sake.
13 I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one.
I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father.
14 I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning.
I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you,
And you have overcome the wicked one.
To overcome the wicked one you need the word of God to dwell in you richly, you need to know Him who
was from the beginning (to know God) and you need strong conviction regarding His promises to you. These are the three critical attributes of an overcomer.
He also says: Look among the nations and watch—Be utterly astounded!
For I will work a work in your days, which you would not believe, though it were told you. (Habakkuk 1:5)
Almighty God wants to work a work in our day, in your day, in the work of the Ministry and in your own life,
which you will not believe even if it is told you. For you to be a part of what He is doing, you need to acquire and grow in the three critical attributes of an overcomer.
He says further:
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).
He says write the vision and make it plain upon tables that he may run who reads it.
As you enter another phase in your walk with God and as we enter a new phase in our calling as Planet Ministries, remember the vision is for an appointed time.
That time is nigh. Wait for it, it will not be late by one second. Remember Genesis 18:10-14; Genesis 21: 1-2 and Exodus 12:40-41.
a) What you need to know:
We are moving into a period of accomplishing the vision which Almighty God has set before us.
There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
The vision is for an appointed time and that time is nigh.
You need the knowledge of the Father and His essential attributes, a knowledge of the word of God- you need the word of God to dwell in you richly
(see also Colossians 3:16) and you also need strength of conviction.
As these three attributes increase in you, they will make you to become an overcomer of the wicked one.
b) What you need to understand (or have a revelation of):
1. There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
2. As we enter the fullness of time you need to continue waiting upon God.
3. You need a revelation of the essential attributes of God.
That He is good to you all the time. He is holy, that means He gets it right all the time ( Leviticus 11:44-45; His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23);
His loving kindness is better than life (Psalms 63:3), He is faithful (1 Thessalonians 5:24; Genesis 28:15; 1 Kings 8:56; Numbers 23:19-20; Isaiah 46:9-11),
He is righteous and He is just (Psalms 89:14). He promises to go before you. He says He will not fail you. (Joshua 1:5; Deuteronomy 31:6, 8;
1 Chronicles 28:20; Psalms 89:33-35).
c) What you need to do: Activities of 2025:
Run with the vision. Remember we are:
1. Witnessing the love of Jesus Christ and making disciples across the nations. (Matthew 28:18-20). Use every avenue available to you to send the message of the gospel.
2.We are praying and interceding to the God of the harvest to send labourers into the harvest. (Matthew 9:37-38; 1Timothy 2:1-5). Take time to pray.
3. We are faithful stewards of time, the mysteries of God and of substance. (Luke 12:42-44; Luke 16:10-12; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Peter 4:10). Prayerfully examine your stewardship of time, mysteries
of God and substance.
4. We are light to the world- dispensing darkness- let your light so shine that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16).
5. We are salt, condiment to the earth to give flavour and fight the unsavoury works of the enemy satan ( Matthew 5:13).
6. We release the fragrance of the knowledge of Jesus Christ - God wants to diffuse through you the fragrance, perfume of the knowledge of Jesus Christ as you allow the fruit of the Holy Spirit to
manifest in your life. ( 2 Corinthians 14-15).
d) In all this remember to have your own personal agenda with God as you stand on His promises.
He says in John 16:24: Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
He says in John 15:7: If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
He says in John 14:13-14:
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
He also says in John 15:16: You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
Remember, we have been given exceedingly great and precious promises that by these we may be partakers of divine nature. ( 2 Peter 1:4, John 16:24).
In this year of the overcomer, as you run with the vision, remember to have a personal prayer agenda with God.
Keep a prayer diary and tick things off, as He answers your prayers.
We love you as we invite you to be counted among the overcomers of the wicked one in 2025 and beyond.
As you run with the vision, we are praying for you and wish you a 2025 filled with the victory that comes from God.
In the service of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
