Title: Knowledge of Jesus Christ is experiencing His capabilities.
“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.
Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish,
that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness,
which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection,
and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,” Philippians 3:7-10 NKJV.
The apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit declares that he had to let go everything else he thought he had so that he could win Jesus Christ.
Point of Reflection:
What does it mean to gain Christ, to be found in Christ and to know Him.
The scriptures tell us in I Corinthians 1:30 that Jesus Christ was made to be for us
wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption.
His word also refers to Jesus Christ in Isaiah 9:6 as Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
The attributes of Jesus Christ are revealed and enabled in us through the Holy Spirit,
who is the Spirit of Jesus Christ (and lso the Spirit of the Father).
That is why John 14:6 gives us further attributes of the Spirit of Jesus Christ as
Helper, Advocate, Comforter, Intercessor, Strengthener, And Standby (AMP).
Knowing Jesus Christ therefore means knowing and experiencing His attributes:
He is the I AM, He wants To Be to you these attributes, that you experience them:
His wisdom, His sanctification or consecration, His redemption in every area of life,
when He reveals Himself to you as Father, it means He gives you character.
When He reveals Himself to you as Wonderful, it means He gives you qualities of excellence.
When He reveals Himself to you as Mighty God it means He shows you His power.
When He reveals Himself as Counsellor it means He would like to impart to you as well as giving
you access to specialist knowledge for every area of your life.
Like wise He desires you to know His peace, strength, help and comfort.
He desires you to know and have His wisdom - the how to of Almighty God in every situation you face.
and wants to be your advocate and to do advocacy for you- to persuade people to favour you when you are not there.
To let His goodness in you be revealed in others so that they show you favour when it matters.
He desires to be your Standby- your body guard and your defence.
Glory be to God forevermore.
Do you desire to experience His attributes through the power of His Holy Spirit?
Refuse to short change yourself. It is the desire of God that you experience the full manifestation of Jesus Christ.
When you are ready-
Prayer of faith:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to be my giver of capacity to be everything I need to be.
Thank you for redemption in Jesus Christ.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I set myself apart for you, for you are my sanctification.
I receive your wisdom and counsel in all I need to do and to become.
I receive your excellence, your character, your peace.
Thank you for demonstrating your power in every situation I face.
Thank you for being my advocate and granting me favour of men.
Thank you for your protection, help and comfort.
I reject, denounce and renounce every working and influence of 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 in the name of Jesus Christ.
Thank you Father for manifesting Jesus Christ and all His attributes to my family.
Thank you Father for manifesting Jesus Christ and all His attributes to Planet Ministry.
Thank you Father for manifesting Jesus Christ and all His attributes
to each and every child of God on Planet Earth.
Reveal to me Father and grant me an experience of the attributes of the Christ ...............
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Year in Focus:
With best wishes for the Year 2024, the year in which the Lord God is visiting His restless ones with an anointing that breaks the yoke of bondage of the enemy.
There is a big financial dimension to the victory for the restless ones in 2024. The yoke of poverty and financial struggles is being broken.
a) Things you need to know:
The year in which the restless ones rise up with the zeal of Almighty God to cause the spreading of the cities of Almighty God through prosperity.
Almighty God says: proclaim saying 'Thus saith the Lord of Hosts: "Iam zealous for Jerusalem with great zeal."' Zechariah 1:14
He also says: 'Thus says the Lord, "I am returning to Jerusalem with mercy; My house shall be built in it," says the Lord of Hosts,
"And a surveyor's line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem."' Zechariah 1:16. See also Zechariah 8:1-5, 12-13, 15, 21 and 23.
He goes further to say: "Again proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity;
The Lord will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem."' Zechariah 1:17.
He says: "Take the silver and gold, make an elaborate crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest." Zechariah 6:11.
Almighty God wants to put a crown of gold upon your head.
b) What you need to do:
1. In 2023, take away your measuring line.
Do not limit what God can do for you and through you in the way you think, the way you speak and the way you act.
Do not limit the Holy One of Israel. ( Zechariah 1:1-5 )
In Psalms 78:41: His word says:Yes, again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.
Remember also Ephesians 3:20 says: He is able to do exceedingly abundantly, above all we think and ask, by the power at work within us.
2. Call with a strong conviction on the Almighty God for whom all things are possible, for whom nothing shall be impossible.
Remember His waord says in Genesis 18:10-14:
10 And He said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.”
(Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.)
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
13 And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’
14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
See also Jeremiah 32:17-22, Jeremiah 32:26-27.
In Luke 1:34-38 we read:
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you;
therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
See also Mark 10;27 and Matthew 19:26.
Remember the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you- to make the will of Almighty God happen in your life and in the work of the Ministry.
In Jeremiah 32:19 -21 we read that our Almighty God is great in counsel and mighty in deeds and that He brought out His people Israel from the land of Egypt with signs and wonders,
with a strong hand, and an outstretched arm and with great terror and He gave them the land that flows with milk and honey- they came in and took possession of it.
Let Him give you His counsel, let Him show you His signs and wonders, go in and take possession.
c) What you need to understand (have a revelation of):
You need to understand the following things:
1. There is in the calendar of God something called the fullness of time.
In Genesis 21:1-2 we read: 1 And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had spoken.
2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
2. Almighty God fulfils His promises.
In Numbers 23:19-20 we read:
19 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.
In Isaiah 46:9-11 we read:
9 Remember the former things of old,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is none like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things that are not yet done,
Saying, My counsel shall stand,
And I will do all My pleasure,’
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man who executes My counsel, from a far country.
Indeed I have spoken it;
I will also bring it to pass.
I have purposed it;
I will also do it.
3. It has been done before-
Remember in her restlessness Rachael cried: Give me children or else I die (Genesis 30:1). God answered her prayer and she bore Joseph, who subsequently received
the portion of the first born of Israel.
In her restlessness, Hannah prayed for a male child and pledged to give him to the Lord all the days of her life. God answered her prayer and she bore Samuel,
a mighty prophet of God who was also a judge of Israel. (1 Samuel 1:11).
In her restlessness Mary Magdalene sought to find where they had laid the body of the Lord Jesus Christ and she refused to be comforted.
The Lord Jesus had to make an unscheduled visit to the tomb while on His way to the Father. The Lord Jesus Christ had to appear to Mary. (John 20:11-18).
We love you and continue to pray for you as you set yourself apart and consecrate yourself for the purposes of Almighty God on the Earth in our day.
Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
