Title: How awesome is this place?

“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.”

 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, 'Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.'

 And he was afraid and said, 'How awesome is this place! 

This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!'”‭‭Genesis‬ ‭28:15-17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

 His word also says:

“Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, 

I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.”‭‭ Matthew‬ ‭28:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

Jacob woke up from sleep having had an encounter with God in his sleep.

 The experience taught him a number of awesome truths.

 How awesome God was and indeed how awesome he himself was because of the workings of God in his own life.

Point of Reflection:

 Remember when you have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ and acknowledged Him as Lord,

 your body become an awesome place because Jesus Christ dwells in your spirit.

You become an awesome person because as Jesus Christ is

 (right now seated at the right hand of the Father) so are you in this world. (1John 4:17).

You become an awesome person because Jesus Christ promised to be with you always to the end of the age. (Matthew 28:20).

You become an awesome person because Almighty God promised to be faithful to you,

 never to leave you until He has done all that He promised to you. 

Remember also that your soul (mind, intellect, emotions, will and conscience) is your gate way to heaven,

 your point of entry to heaven, your point of entry to eternity, 

you therefore need to diligently nourish your mind with the correct  understanding of the word of God. (Romans 12:1-2).

Do you desire to live the life of the awesome one in Jesus Christ?

Remember to continually renew your mind with awesome truths.

Remember in Jesus Christ you are awesome.

 
When you are ready-

Prayer of faith:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for your faithfulness.

 Thank you for redemption through Jesus Christ.

 Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.

 I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you alone Lord.

 I reject, denounce and renounce every working and influence of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.

 I declare that you were defeated and disarmed publicly and openly by Jesus Christ on the cross.

 I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.

 I receive the abundant in filling of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.

 I receive the wisdom, guidance, teaching, protection,

 power and excellence of the Holy Spirit upon my life right now.

  I commit myself to the life of the awesome one in Jesus Christ.

 I commit myself to meditating upon your word and renewing my mind with your word which is spirit and life.

 Your word is a lamp to my feet and light unto my path.

 I embrace your word with a positive attitude and a positive expectation.

 I commit all my ways to you.

 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.
