Title: Receive renewed vigour.
“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God,
the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,
neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31 KJV.
How then does one wait upon the Lord to have strength renewed so that you fly as an eagle,
run and then walk and repeat the cycle?
Notice the scripture here does not say they that wait for the Lord or wait with the Lord-
it says wait upon- this speaks of active waiting-
this waiting includes meditation upon His word,
talking to Him in prayer, giving praise and worship,
asking Him questions,
seeking His will for particular situations you will be facing,
declaring to Him that you have set yourself apart to accomplish His purpose and His will.
It also includes confessing your mistakes to Him
and repenting from wrong actions and ways of thinking that are not aligned with His word.
At the end of this process God will breathe into you a renewed vigour, focus and purpose,
a new energy and a new dimension of wisdom.
With this will also come a new assurance that you are on course to accomplish His purpose
and His will in your life, family, community and Planet Earth.
Remember to always allow God to use you to impact others around you and beyond
even in ways which sometimes may appear little to you.
Point of reflection:
Acknowledge the sacrifice that the Lord Jesus Christ made for you
when He died and rose again and how this sacrifice cleanses you
from all sin and sets you apart for the purposes of Almighty God.
Acknowledge that God does not grow weary and that He knows it all.
Take a step back, give thanks for the things He has done for you.
Proceed to steps outlined above in active waiting upon Almighty God.
Much grace and peace be multiplied to you.
When you are ready-
Prayer of Declaration:
Heavenly Father I thank you for the sacrifice made by your own Son Jesus Christ,
when He suffered and died on the cross, shedding His blood so that my sin may be forgiven
and so that I may be ushered into your presence.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
Today I reject, renounce and denounce every working, influence and deception of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself to serve you alone Lord.
I ask you Father to fill and empower me by your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ.
I receive, accept and embrace the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
As I meditate upon your word, worshipping and praising you for the beauty of holiness,
acknowledging your mercies and loving kindness upon my life which are new every morning,
celebrating your faithfulness, your goodness, righteousness and your power
and declaring: Worthy art thou O Lord to receive glory and honour
and power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and blessing.
For you have redeemed us by your blood out of every tribe, and tongue,
and people and nation and have made us kings and priests to you our God and we shall reign on the earth.
We worship you as we celebrate renewed strength, and vigour, renewed wisdom and direction.
In the name of Jesus Christ. 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.
