Title: The witness within you.

“He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar,

 because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 

And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.”‭‭ 1 John‬ ‭5:10-11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

When you believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made when He suffered and died on the cross,

 it is the will and desire of Almighty God that you have full assurance and confidence that you have been forgiven,

 accepted by God, made righteous and given the gift of eternal life starting right now. 

You also start living your life in the presence of Almighty God starting now and for all eternity.

Point of Reflection:

Because God, Almighty desires so much that you have full assurance and confidence of your salvation and acceptance by Him,

 He has planted a witness about this right inside you.

 That is why His word says in Romans 8:16 NKJV: 

“The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God."

His word goes further to say in Ephesians 1:13-14 AMP: 

"In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, 

and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit.

 That [Spirit] is the guarantee of our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste,

 the down payment on our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption 

and our acquiring [complete] possession of it–to the praise of His glory.”‭

So then God has put a witness concerning your salvation within you.

 1. Your regenerated spirit which has been joined together with the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, 

bears witness in you that you have received eternal life.

2. The Holy Spirit is the stamp and seal within you of God's approval for your inheritance in Jesus Christ.

3. The Holy Spirit is the deposit, down payment by God for your redemption in Jesus Christ. 

4. The Holy Spirit  is also the guarantee and guarantor of your redemption in Jesus Christ.

5. The Holy Spirit gives you a foretaste of heaven- the joy of your salvation. Glory be to God forevermore.

 Do you desire to celebrate the witness within you concerning your redemption and eternal life? 

When you are ready-

Prayer:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your grace and mercy which you have given me in Jesus Christ. 

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

I denounce and reject every working of the enemy satan upon my life

 and I thank you Lord Jesus Christ for the Holy Spirit who is a witness within me of your salvation,

 my seal and the stamp of my approval by Almighty God, the down payment and deposit of my redemption, 

the guarantee and guarantor of my inheritance who gives me the foretaste of heaven.

 In the name of Jesus Christ, I celebrate your working in my life Holy Spirit.

 I receive the total in-filling of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ and

 I receive the abundant outpouring of the Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ I 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.
