"He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation." Psalms 89:26 KJV.


"Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place." 2Chronicles 7:15 KJV.

"And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, 

Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.

Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: 

ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full." John 16:23-24 KJV.

Point of Reflection:

It is the will of God that every child of God develops a close prayer relationship with our heavenly Father. 

Talking to God on a regular basis facilitates spiritual growth. 

Even human relationships thrive when there is close personal communication

between parties for example- spouses, children and parents etc.

 His word teaches us to ask in the name of Jesus Christ. (John 16:24).

 Jesus Christ promised when we ask we receive so that our joy may be full.

 We should however ask according to His will and according to His promises.

We should ask in faith- believing that Almighty God fulfils His promises.

 His word says in 1 John 5:14:

 "And this is the confidence that we have in him,

 that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us" KJV.

His word also teaches us  not to ask so that we satisfy lusts of the flesh.

 James 4:3 teaches us to ask on target- according  to his will not to satisfy desires of the flesh.

 Matthew 6:6 teaches us that there is reward for prayer.

The Lord Jesus Christ gave us a prayer outline in Matthew 6:9-13-

 we should address God as our Father,

 start by worshipping Him, hallowing His names,

 asking for His will to be done,

 praying for the manifestation of His kingdom,

 His will  to be done, praying for personal needs,

 forgiving others and asking for forgiveness, 

asking for deliverance from the wicked one. 

You then finish again by worship.

Prayer needs to be a two way communication- as you speak to God, be attentive to Him

speaking back to you through His word.  Listen to the voice of His Holy Spirit.

Take some time to reflect on your prayer life and ways of strengthening and enriching it.


When you are ready-

 Prayer:

 Heavenly Father, I thank  you for the privilege of coming into your presence through Jesus Christ.

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 upom my life 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.

 I present to you today Father my needs..............................

I ask Father for your will to be done across Planet Earth.

I pray for a rise of righteousness and true knowledge of Jesus Christ across Planet Earth.

Thank you for giving me your grace and glory

and for not withholding any good thing from those who walk uprightly. 

I ask you today Lord to reveal yourself to me

 and to grant me revelation of your will for my life

 as I seek to know you more and more.

 In Jesus's name 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.
