Title: Build your life on the Rock.
“And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–jona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”Matthew 16:16-18 KJV.
Simon Peter, a disciple of Jesus Christ, knew what others did not know
although they had all been with the Lord Jesus Christ, ate with Him, were all taught by Him.
When Jesus asked the question, "Who do you say that I the Son of Man Am?"
They had no answer. Simon Peter had revelation knowledge.
When you have revelation knowledge you are blessed.
The revelation gave Peter understanding.
Knowledge without understanding is like putting food in the mouth
and chewing it then forget to swallow and digest.
Food will not benefit you unless it is swallowed, digested, absorbed so that it gives the body nourishment.
Peter had received from the Father in heaven revelation and understanding of the Christ,
the Anointed One, the One of whom all things consists.
The One in whom there is all capacity, the One in whom all ability is, giver of Righteousness,
the Conqueror, the Healer, Deliverer, Shepherd and Guide, Provider, the giver of
peace, well-being and victory, the mighty warrior, our wisdom, redemption and sanctification.
Jesus went on to say you are Peter (petros, Greek-small stone)
but you possess the revelation of the Rock on which I will build my church
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Understand here that Rock (petra- Greek a rock, a cliff, a projecting rock, mother rock, solid formation,
fixed, immovable and enduring) on which the church is built is the Christ Himself.
When a child of God has a revelation of the Christ, he/she is unconquerable.
The gates of hell, gates of satan and all his schemes will not prevail against you.
You are able to uproot by faith the gates of hell and enter in to possess what Almighty
God says you must possess.
That is why Isaiah 54:17 says
"No weapon formed against you shall prosper
and every tongue which rises against you in judgement you shall condemn."
1 Corinthians 15:57 says "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
So child of God, who has given his/ her life to Jesus Christ and acknowledged Him as Lord,
as you receive the revelation of the Christ, and build your life upon His principles and ordinances,
the gates of hell shall not prevail against you.
Point of reflection:
Thank God the Father for giving you a revelation of the Christ.
Thank God for victory in every area of life and
for the capacity to uproot the gates of hell arrayed against you.
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration:
Heavenly Father I thank you that to Jesus Christ was given all dominion and power.
I thank you that in Him lies all capacity and ability.
Thank you for giving me a revelation of the Christ, the Anointed One.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I reject, renounce and denounce every influence, every working and every deception 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 Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I commit my life to you Lord for the accomplishing of your purpose and will.
I declare your victory in every area of my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I bring before you Father this day every nation of Planet Earth and
pray for the manifestation and revelation of the Christ, the Anointed One.
I pray Father that you send labourers into the harvest.
Move by your Holy Spirit Lord and save souls-
Do Father that which only God can do- across Planet Earth.
Raise a standard Lord of the working of Jesus Christ among the nations.
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.
