Title: Setting your mind on the things above.
“If then, you have been raised with Christ to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead,
aim at and seek the rich, eternal treasures that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth.
For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in [the splendor of His] glory.” Colossians 3:1-4 AMPC
It is the desire of Almighty God, that you seek the rich eternal treasures that are above,
setting your minds on the higher things of the Spirit of God, that you set your mind on seeking the will of God for your life.
At the centre of the will of Almighty God is salvation of souls. He desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.(1Timothy 2:4).
Put salvation of souls at the centre of all that you do. Seek the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the power of His resurrection. (Philippians 3:8-10).
Be a harvester and pray for harvesters across Planet Earth. (Matthew 9:37-38). Seek to experience His promises.
Point of Reflection:
An athlete runs with eyes set on the prize.
The gym may be painful sometimes but for the sake of the prize, one endures.
Keep therefore your mind on the prize, for when Jesus Christ who is our life shall appear,
you will also share in His joy, splendour and glory.
Remember the "appearing" of Jesus Christ starts right now as we experience His joy, peace and goodness.
As we experience His victory and His promises. As we experience His health and well-being.
As we experience his provision and more.
Remember your life is hid together with Jesus Christ in God.
Do you desire to seek the rich eternal treasures of heaven?
When you are ready-
Prayer of consecration:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die for my sin.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I thank you for giving me new life in Jesus Christ.
I reject, renounce and denounce every working and influence of the enemy satan and his demons.
I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.
I thank you that my new life is hidden with Christ in God.
I set my mind on the rich heavenly treasures, the heavenly inheritance and the heavenly joy.
Today I present before you each and every child of God across Planet Earth and
release the grace to seek the true and rich treasures of heaven as they serve you,
the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
I release an experience of the life of Jesus Christ upon their lives, to permeate every facet of their lives,
releasing a true victory, a true peace, a true joy....
I command the enemy satan and his demons to let them go and serve God.
Today Lord I commit to harvest of souls as I send your word and pray for men and women across
Planet Earth to come to salvation and the knowledge of the truth.
I release the power of your word to transform souls, to deliver and set captives free from every bondage of the enemy.
As we send forth your word, heal disease and sickness of every kind,
raise the dead and let every undeniable miracle follow the preaching of your word.
Raise men and women of power in every village across Planet Earth to lead and shepherd your people.
In the name of Jesus Christ's name 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.
