Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield:

 but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts,

 the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 

This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand;

and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; 

and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day 

unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth;

 that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear:

for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.” ‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭17:45-47‬ ‭KJV‬‬.



“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly

 above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, 

world without end. Amen.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20-21‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

It is the desire of Almighty God in Jesus Christ that you

 confront challenging situations you face by the Spirit of Might.

The Spirit of Might enables you child of God to release dimensions

 in all you do according to the measure of the faith of God which we have all received.

 As you meditate upon the word of God prayerfully, 

separating and consecrating yourself to the purposes of God,

 allow the faith of God to rise from within you.

 Remember God is able to do exceedingly abundantly, 

super abundantly, above all we think or ask,

 beyond our wildest imaginations or dreams- 

but here is the key- according to the power at work within you.

 When you receive the word, allow it to work within you to generate faith,

 the fire of faith in your belly.

 By that fire, power, zeal and conviction, you will be able to approach your Goliaths

with the confession of David "You come to me with a sword, spear and shield and.....

But I come to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts

 and in the name of Jesus Christ you are defeated."

 Remember we fight not against flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12)

 and also 2 Corinthians 10:4 tells us: 

"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal,

 but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds" KJV.

Carnal means there are not physical, or of the five senses.

 But you need to be fired from the belly 

and to go after your Goliaths with the Spirit of Might.

 Glory to God. David stepped out in faith powered from the belly by the Spirit of Might.

 There was a power at work within him.

 As David approached Goliath, the result had already been settled within him.

As you meditate on His word and on His purpose for you,

 let the spirit of faith rise within you, let it spur you to go for battle line.

When you are ready-

Prayer:

Father in heaven, I thank you for giving to me your Son Jesus Christ,

that I may live through Him.

Today I  acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life. 

I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you.

I reject, denounce and renounce every working, every influence 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 and empower me with your Holy Spirit right now.

I receive, accept and embrace the abundant outpouring of your Spirit

upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

Thank you Lord for saving me and for making me a child of God.

 Heavenly Father, I thank you for salvation through the risen  Jesus Christ,

El Gibor, the Mighty Warrior.

 I receive the Spirit of Might in Jesus Christ's name

 and I come against every obstacle fighting the will of God upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

 I rebuke every working of the enemy satan in my life 

and family in the name of Jesus Christ

 and as your word fires me up from the belly

 I arise against every Goliath I face in the name of Jesus Christ to do great exploits for my God.

 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.
