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, Counsellor, Intercessor, Strengthener, and Standby (AMPC).
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 and 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 ...............

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.
