Title: Jesus Christ desires to make you a person of character, stature and achievement.
“Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness,
ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn,
and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you:
for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.” Isaiah 51:1-2 KJV.
“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,
being made a curse for us: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.” Galatians 3:13-14 KJV.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance:
against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 KJV.
It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ to make you a person of character,
stature, achievement and self-assurance.
This is accomplished as you engage the word of God.
As you open your heart to the word of God, embrace it
and allow it to transform your way of thinking,
your way of speech and finally the way you act.
The beginning point is acknowledging Jesus Christ as Lord of your life,
believing He died for you,
shed blood so that your sin may be forgiven
and that on the third day, in the greatest show of force
the universe has ever seen, God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.
In so doing He conquered death on your behalf to give you eternal life.
You need then to put complete faith and trust in Him.
By having complete faith and trust in Jesus Christ,
you will experience God for yourself,
you will have a personal experience of Jesus Christ- this is critical.
Abraham is described as the father of all who believe, why?
Because when human reason for hope had gone,
he put his trust in God and what He had spoken.
The word of God teaches us that he staggered not,
wavered not at the promise of God through unbelief,
but was strong in faith giving glory to God. (Genesis 15:1-6, Romans 4:16-21).
Through trusting in God, having a strong relationship with His word,
reading it prayerfully and meditating upon it
God wants you to receive the blessing of Abraham through Jesus Christ. (Galatians 3:13-14).
The blessing of Abraham is every positive outcome in your life
and includes making you a person of stature,
character, achievement and self-assurance.
Jesus Christ desires you to receive the Holy Spirit through faith,
who, in turn will change your character. (Galatians 5:22-23).
The Holy Spirit is your guide and teacher,
your counsellor, your advocate, your helper,
your standby, your intercessor, your strengthener (John 14:16 AMP).
He is your executioner for the practical things of everyday life.
In Him is the full wisdom of Almighty God for achievement in this life.
He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ and your game-changer. Glory be to God.
You need Him and be conscious of His presence in your life everyday.
Take some time to acknowledge Almighty God and to make a declaration of faith.
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer
and die for my sin and to rise again for my justification.
Today I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.
I reject the enemy satan and every demonic influence upon my life.
I command you satan in the name of Jesus Christ
to let me go and serve my God.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ
to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
You say in your word if we being evil
know how to give good gifts to our children,
how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to me when I ask Him-
I believe multiplied a zillion times over.
I therefore ask believing you will give me through faith in Jesus Christ,
Thank you Father for hearing me and through and by the Holy Spirit,
I receive positive outcomes in every area of my life.
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.
