Title: The Lord rejoices over you like a bridegroom rejoices over a bride.
“Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken;
neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate:
but thou shalt be called Hephzi–bah,
and thy land Beulah:
for the Lord delighteth in thee,
and thy land shall be married.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee:
and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride,
so shall thy God rejoice over thee.” Isaiah 62:4-5 KJV.
When you turn to God and believe on the sacrifice made by the Lord Jesus Christ when He died and rose again,
the word of God declares that you join God's own household. (Ephesians 2:19).
It also says you receive the Spirit of adoption by which you cry "Abba Father". (Romans 8:15).
You become an heir of God and joint heir with Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:17).
No wonder the scriptures say "the Lord delights in you"
and "as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride so shall thy God rejoice over thee".
This scripture blew my mind as I started to imagine
how a bridegroom rejoices and celebrates his bride.
If that is how the Lord celebrates you, your success,
your victory, your health and well-being, your breakthroughs etc wow!
Remember this is in spite of all our failures,
but because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you
are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 5:21),
God rejoices and delights in you,
He dances for you (that is what a bridegroom does in rejoicing over the bride).
Remember your spirit is complete in Christ, your spirit was perfected forever in Christ. (Hebrews 10:14).
Our battle with sin is in our mind because satan
has no access to your born again spirit other than through your mind.
One needs therefore to continually renew one's mind with the word of God,
to continually re-align ourselves with Him by confessing our mistakes
including even those we are not aware of,
sins we may have committed unknowingly. 1 John 1:9.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
As we do that we boot out satan from the foothold he will be trying to have over us.
So remember you are the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ,
you have been forever perfected in Jesus Christ,
you are adopted to be a child of God in Christ,
you are an heir of the Father and joint heir with Jesus Christ,
God delights in you and He rejoices over you as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride
(and I believe I have a very good idea of what that feels like!) Glory be to God!
Point of reflection:
Thank God for what you have become in Christ.
Thank Him for giving you Jesus Christ.
Remember we are saved by grace (a gift of God, an unmerited favour we received by activity on the side of God)
through faith, not of ourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works,
lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).
When you are ready-
Prayer of declaration:
Heavenly Father I thank you for the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for me.
Thank you that in Christ I am the righteousness of God.
Thank you that in Christ I am forgiven of all my sin.
Thank you that in Christ I am adopted to be a member of the household of God.
Thank you that in Christ I am a joint heir with Jesus Christ.
Thank you that in Christ I have been given every spiritual blessing in heavenly places.
Thank you that in Christ Almighty God delights in me and as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride,
You rejoice over me.
Thank you for victory over the enemy satan and his demons.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today
I set myself apart and consecrate myself to do your will.
I ask you Father to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life.
I remember my brethren across Planet Earth today and ask you to empower them and
to strengthen them with might by your Spirit in the inner man.
I prophecy to the wind and command the dry bones to live, to rise and become n exceedingly great army.
Do Father that which only Almighty God can do...........
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.
