not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly,

 according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12:3‬ ‭KJV‬‬.


You have been given the measure of faith.

 Grow your faith and use it to obtain the promises of Almighty God.

Point of Reflection.

The word of God has built in within itself a spiritual substance called faith.

 This substance is the currency of the kingdom of heaven in as much as the pound, 

dollar, yen, rand, pulla, shilling etc are the currencies of the kingdoms of the earth.

The spiritual substance called faith is released in you when the word of God is received

 in your heart with a positive attitude, positive desire and positive expectation. 

Then allow the word of God retention time, meditate upon it.

 These attributes are under your control and are to do with how your mind, 

intellect, emotions, will and conscience ( your heart, your soul ) interact with the word of God.

 Glory be to Almighty God forevermore.

Putting it differently, faith is released when you allow the word of God to penetrate into the core of your being to sufficient depth.

 The word then explodes inside you releasing the spiritual substance, faith. 

If you shower with a raincoat on, you will not get wet.

 Do not approach the word of God in that way.

Jesus Christ said in Matthew 17:20 KJV:   “Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you,

 If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, 

Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”‭‭

Grow your faith until it moves the mountains in your life that it should move to allow

 the purpose of God for your life to be accomplished. 

With you is the Holy Spirit, the game changer, the teacher, guide, your wisdom, 

the revealer of secrets, the revealer of the will and purpose of God for you.

The Holy Spirit makes the word of God alive inside you, giving you strength of conviction.
 

When you have opened your heart to the word of God, the  Holy Spirit becomes the game changer.

 Do you desire to grow your faith to move the mountains standing between you and the purpose of God for your life?

When you are ready-

Prayer of faith:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending down 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 to you.

 I reject, denounce and renounce the enemy satan and his demons in the name of Jesus Christ. 

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 in the name of Jesus Christ.

 Thank you Holy Spirit for guiding me into the word of God and the will of God for my life.

 I desire the sincere milk of the word so that I may grow through it.

 I commit myself to your word with a positive attitude, positive desire and positive expectation.

 I commit myself to meditating upon your word. 

I commit my family to you and ask for abundance of grace as they grow through your word.

 I commit Planet Ministries to you and ask for your grace and power to accomplish your purposes across Planet Earth.
 

 I commit each and every child of God across Planet Earth to you

 and ask for the grace to be empowered by your word to accomplish the purposes you have ordained for 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.
