Title: He saw.
“Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God,
they sent Peter and John to them, who, when they had come down,
prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
For as yet He had fallen upon none of them.
They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given,
he offered them money, saying, 'Give me this power also,
that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.'”Acts 8:14-19 NKJV.
Point of Reflection:
When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, external visible expressions of His presence happen.
You need to yield to the Holy Spirit by faith for these manifestations to occur.
Most commonly it is speaking in an unknown language- speaking in tongues.
There two types of tongues- tongues of men- human languages spoken elsewhere and angelic tongues -
these are not human languages but angelic languages (1 Corinthians 13:1).
There are also imitation, counterfeit, tongues of the enemy.
A certain Simon "saw" that through laying of hands the Holy Spirit is given.
There must have been some external manifestations, that something had happened to these people.
The same happened on the day of Pentecost and in the house of Cornelius.
On the day of Pentecost, His word says:
"And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.”Acts 2:4 NKJV.
In the house of Cornelius the word of God teaches us:
"While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word.
And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter,
because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.
For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God.
Then Peter answered,
'Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have? '"Acts 10:44-47 NKJV.
In Mark 16:17 NKJV: His word says: “And these signs will follow those who believe:
In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;”
Ananias prayed for Saul of Tarsus to be filled with the Holy Spirit and receive his sight:
“And Ananias went his way and entered the house; and laying his hands on him he said,
'Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came,
has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.'"Acts 9:17 NKJV.
Paul the apostle later confessed:
“I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all."1 Corinthians 14:18 NKJV.
Please understand that being filled with the Holy Spirit is not about just speaking in tongues.
It is about the power it gives, the strength of conviction.
The Holy Spirit makes the word of God alive inside you.
He manifests the miracles of healing and deliverance.
He gives you the wisdom, guidance, direction, He teaches the truths of God, He helps you navigate,
He gives boldness, He gives you words to say which are appropriate and timely.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth, He gives understanding to the word of God. (John 15:26). The word correctly understood is the truth. It is the truth that sets people free. (John 8:32).
The tongues are one of the principal signs that baptism in the Holy Spirit has happened.
You need to desire Him. Understand that He is given to you by the Father in the name of Jesus Christ (John 14:16).
He is given by faith, through believing the promise of the Father. (Galatians 3:13-14; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-5)
Do you desire to be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit?
When you are ready-
Prayer of Faith:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my redemption.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today. I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I reject, renounce and denounce every working and influence of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I know that satan and his demons were defeated publicly and openly by Jesus Christ on the cross
and that he now awaits eternal judgement in the Lake of Fiire.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ, to fill me with your Holy Spirit, right now.
I receive the abundant outpouring of you Holy Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I remember my family and I ask you to empower them by your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.
I remember Planet Ministries and ask you to empower them by your Holy Spirit
and to accomplish your full purpose and will through it in the name of Jesus Christ.
I remember your people across Planet Earth and ask that you empower them by your Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Year in Focus
2026 The Year of Almighty God's Special Treasure
2026 is the year of Almighty God’s special treasure.
In this year, Almighty God wants you to engage with Him as a person after His own heart who desires to accomplish His purpose, plan and will.
A person who seeks the burden of Almighty God as you pray and intercede, as you witness the love of Jesus Christ through your various platforms
and as you exercise faithful stewardship of your time, of the mysteries of God entrusted to you and of substance.
His word tells us in Psalms 89:19-23:
'Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and said: “I have given help to one who is mighty; I have exalted one chosen from the people.
20 I have found My servant, David; With My holy oil I have anointed him,
21 With whom My hand shall be established; also, My arm shall strengthen him.
22The enemy shall not outwit him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him (NKJV).
23 I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague those who hate him.'
In 2026 there is help ordained for you from Almighty God. You have been waiting upon God with your heart focused on Him, on establishing His hand on Planet Earth.
Receive the help of God. Let the anointing of the Holy Spirit flow upon your life as you meditate on His word.
What you need to know:
Our Almighty God is a faithful God, that means He is trustworthy, He is dependable and follows things through.
His word tells us:
'He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.' I Thessalonians 5:24.
'Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.' Genesis 28:15 (NKJV).
'Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses. ' 1 Kings 8:56 (NKJV).
Remember:
'God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
20 Behold, I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.' Numbers 23:19-20 (NKJV).
(see also Isaiah 46:9-11, Isaiah 14:24-27)
What you need to understand and have a revelation of:
There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
His word tells us:
'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 (NKJV).
Remember also:
'Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 'Exodus 12:40-41 (NKJV).
In fact, it was precise to the second- at midnight, at the stroke of midnight first-borns were struck and Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said -Go and serve your God.
We read in Galatians 4:4-5:
'But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.' (NKJV).
In your life and in the Ministry, you need to wait upon Him, but while you wait be busy doing what needs to be done today.
What you need to do-
a) Keep your eyes on the word of God.
His word tells us:
'Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.' Colossians 3:16 (NKJV).
'Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' John 8:31-32 (NKJV).
b) Be conscious of the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life.
We read in John 14:15-17 (AMPC):
' If you [really] love Me, you will keep (obey) My commands.
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever–
17 The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world cannot receive (welcome, take to its heart), because it does not see Him or know and recognize Him. But you know and recognize Him, for He lives with you [constantly] and will be in you.'
c) Be in prayer.
His word teaches us:
'Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, ' Ephesians 6:18-19 (NKJV).
d) Remember your personal prayer agenda with God.
His word teaches us:
'Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”' Luke 18:6-8 (NKJV).
Psalms 91:15 tells us:
'He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him.' (NKJV).
Almighty God has promised to answer you as you ask in the name of Jesus Christ.
Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.
In the service of Jesus Christ.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
