Title: The hand of the Lord is permanently against your enemies.
“And Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering to the LORD.
Then Samuel cried out to the LORD for Israel, and the LORD answered him.
Now as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel.
But the LORD thundered with a loud thunder upon the Philistines that day,
and so confused them that they were overcome before Israel.
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines,
and drove them back as far as below Beth Car.
Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying,
“Thus far the LORD has helped us.” So the Philistines were subdued,
and they did not come anymore into the territory of Israel.
And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.”I Samuel 7:9-13 NKJV.
Combining praise, worship and praying His promises will always give you victory in every situation you face.
Samuel offered a worship offering to the Lord, which the Lord accepted.
Samuel then cried to the Lord on behalf of Israel and the Lord heard him.
The hand of the Lord from that day onwards was against Samuel's enemies.
Point of Reflection:
In every situation you face, give thanks and worship Almighty God.
Use the weapon of praying the promises to bring your requests before the Almighty God.
He does answer prayer and when He does, nothing ever remains the same.
So remember when you praise and worship often and pray His promises,
the hand of God will be permanently turned against your enemies child of God.
You will be able to put up a memorial stone, a mile peg to mark the occasion and call it Ebenezer: thus far the Lord has helped me.
You need to put up memorials from time to time, take time to reflect, take stock to see what God has done for you.
That is why His word says in Philippians 4:6 : Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God (NKJV).
Do you feel ready to celebrate another Ebenezer mile peg?
When you are ready-
Prayer of faith:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer for the sin of mankind.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I consecrate and set myself apart for you alone Lord Jesus.
I reject, denounce and renounce every working and influence 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 abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life.
Father on this day thank you for answering my prayers.
I thank you for permanently turning your hand against my enemy satan and his demons.
Because Jesus Christ on the cross disarmed and defeated satan publicly and openly.
As I remember the battles you have fought for me and I thank you for giving me victory in the name of Jesus Christ.
I remember my family and declare Ebenezer, thus far the Lord has helped us.
I remember Planet Ministries and pray for grace upon them as they continue to do your will.
I remember each and every child of God upon Planet Earth
and declare Ebenezer in their lives and say "Thus far the Lord has helped them".
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.
