Title: Your enemy satan was defeated publicly and openly by Jesus Christ.
“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us,
which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
And having disarmed principalities and powers,
he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” Colossians 2:14-15 KJV.
The Lord Jesus Christ in John 10:10 declared:
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
The thief He was referring to was the enemy of God and mankind satan.
Here Jesus Christ referred to Him as a thief, a murder, and destroyer.
Elsewhere in the word of God he is referred to as the adversary, the devil (1 Peter 5:8),
the wicked one (1 John 2:13),
that old serpent, the devil, satan (Revelation 20:2),
a liar and father of lying, (John 8:44),
accuser of brethren (Revelation 12:10),
the deceiver of the whole world (Revelations 12:9)
the power of darkness (Colossians 1:13).
When Jesus died on the cross, it triggered a reaction from the throne of God to release resurrection power,
Jesus Christ with the force of resurrection power confronted satan,
made him surrender, took all his weapons, that is disarmed him,
undressed him to skin and then made him march down a public highway,
with hands tied behind his back and feet in chains. There was. and there still is an inscription on his forehead written "DEFEATED".
Jesus had a victory parade with angels of heaven, while satan and his demons were being humiliated in defeat.
Remember resurrection power is the greatest show of force the universe has ever seen.(Ephesians 1:19-21).
So born-again child of God remember Jesus Christ defeated,
disarmed and humiliated satan and his demons on your behalf on the cross.
When Jesus is Lord of your life, He is in you, in your born-again regenerated spirit.
He has total and complete authority over satan and demons.
In His name and on His behalf you were given total and complete authority over satan and demons
You can and should rebuke satan and demons,
you can and should bind satan and his demons with chains,
you can and should trample over satan and demons,
you can and should resist him steadfast in the faith,
you can and should be sober and vigilant.
That is why Jesus Christ said in Luke 10:19:
“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Here Jesus Christ was referring to satan and demons.
In Matthew 12:28-29, Jesus said
"But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.”
He cast out devils by the Spirit of God and He gave us authority to bind satan and demons in His name
and also gave us authority yo cast out devils by the Spirit of God.
In Mark 16:17 Jesus said “And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;”
Psalms 91:13 His word says
“Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.”
1 Peter 5:8-9 says:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil,
as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist stedfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
Here we are exhorted to be sober, alert and vigilant akin to a soldier on the front line of battle,
always alert, active , making sharp turning motions to check over his shoulders who is where, what is happening.
The enemy is always looking for an opportunity to attack - but resist him steadfast in the faith.
As you do that the God of all grace, who has called us unto eternal glory by Jesus Christ will perfect you,
establish you, strengthen you and settle you in position to accomplish His will and purpose.
Point of reflection:
Thank God that Jesus Christ, defeated, disarmed and triumphed over satan on the cross.
Thank the Lord Jesus for giving you authority to trample over scorpions
and serpents and all the power of the enemy.
Thank God for the grace to be sober, vigilant and the ability to resist satan.
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration of victory:
Heavenly Father I thank you for the victory won by Jesus Christ for me on the cross.
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 deception of the enemy satan
and his demons upon my life.
Thank you Father for giving me power and authority to trample over scorpions and serpents
and over all the power of the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ.
I resist you satan and demons over the affairs of my life and command you to go in the name of Jesus Christ.
Father I pray that you expose every working and influence of the enemy satan and his demons across Planet Earth
in the name of Jesus Christ.
I bring before you your people in this nation and every other nation of Planet Earth
and pray that you open their eyes to see every working of the enemy in our day.
I bring before you, your people in this nation and every other nation of Planet Earth
and pray that you open their eyes to know and understand the victory they have in
Jesus Christ over all the power of the enemy.
Today I declare and celebrate victory over the enemy in my body, in my family, in all my affairs
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.
