may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened;
that you may know what is the hope of His calling,
what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe,
according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ
when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places."Ephesians 1:15-20 NKJV.
The apostle prays that your eyes may be opened,
that you may have a revelation of the greatness of the power of Jesus Christ already inside you.
Point of reflection:
You need a revelation of the power of God in Jesus Christ that has been packaged inside you.
That power has the capacity to produce whatever is needed in your life to enable you
to accomplish the purpose of God for you.
That power is the greatest power ever released by God since all creation.
It is greater than the power God used to create the universe.
It took Jesus Christ from the lowest place in the universe, to the highest place-
the right hand of God in heavenly places, far above every principality, power and dominion.
That power conferred upon Jesus Christ every capacity needed
to accomplish anything for God the Father according to His will and purpose.
That power conferred upon Jesus the highest name of authority (a name above every other name),
with the highest title that can be conferred (a title above every other title) not only in this world
but in the world to come.
That power put all things at the feet of Jesus Christ.
That power defeated, disarmed, stripped naked satan and his demons and made them march down the road humiliated.
His word says in Colossians 2:15: Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them,
triumphing over them in it (the cross) NKJV.
That power destroys, loosens and dissolves all the works of the evil one (1John 3:8 AMP).
That power brings to nought and makes of no effect the actions of the devil and his demons. (Hebrews 2:14 AMP).
There is no darkness that can withstand that power.
Such was the power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead and is packaged in you.
Glory be to God forever more.
As you celebrate that power ask for your eyes to be opened to see and comprehend it.
You are seated (your spirit) in heavenly places in Jesus Christ,
you have within you the full capacity of Jesus Christ, for as Jesus Christ is so are you in this world. (1 John 4:17).
Do you desire to see and experience the resurrection power of Jesus Christ everyday in your life?
It is packaged in the Christ in you the hope of glory.
As you yearn for the revelation of this power, know that you have access to it through the believing,
speaking and acting upon the word of God.
The power of God is voice activated, practice to believe and speak the word of God for your situation.
When you are ready-
Prayer for revelation:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ,
I thank you for resurrection power which you released from heaven to raise Jesus Christ from the dead.
I acknowledge today this was the greatest show of force since the world began.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you alone.
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, accept and embrace the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life right now.
I ask you Holy Spirit to open my spiritual eyes that I may see the immeasurable greatness
of your power for me and in me by the working of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ upon my life.
I thank you that because of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ,
and in the name of Jesus Christ I command every situation I face to bow to the will and desire of Almighty God.
I speak right now and command the destruction, dissolution and loosening of
all the works of the wicked one satan and his demons, in my life and affairs, in the affairs of Planet Ministries
and in the affairs of every child of Almighty God across the nations of Planet Earth, in the name of Jesus Christ.
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.
