Title: At the centre of the will of Almighty God in Jesus Christ for you is that you may know Him intimately.

“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Matthew‬ ‭6:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

“That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, 
being made conformable unto his death;” Philippians‬ ‭3:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

At the centre of the will of Almighty God in Jesus Christ is that you may know Him intimately. 

A lot of times people ask "What do you mean?" 

The question really is who do you know very closely?

 Parent, spouse, friend, colleague? 

You know them to the point where you can predict how they would react to a given situation- 

Almighty God desires you to know Him much more intimately than that. 

That is why the Lord Jesus Christ prayed in John 17:3:

 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”(KJV). 

When you know God, you have eternal life. 

You cannot know Him without a detailed knowledge of His word 

as His word reveals His nature and character and His word is truth. 

‭‭His word says in John 3:16:

 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (KJV).

 It also says “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved 

(except the name of Jesus Christ). (Acts 4:12 KJV).

 It further says in Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

The difficulty for many people is that the knowledge of God is in their blind spot,

in other words -they do not know what they do not know.

 The knowledge of God opens before you a whole knew world

 which you may never have known existed. 

You need to have the desire to know Him and then take the time to seek Him

 through spending time in fellowship with Him in prayer and reading His word. 

Call for Action: 

Will you commit to knowing Him intimately? 

Will you commit to spending time in fellowship with Him?

Take some time to commit yourself to Him,

When you are ready-

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die for me. 

I believe Jesus Christ rose from the dead on third day and is alive today. 

I ask you Lord Jesus Christ to come into my life, forgive my sin and make me a child of God.

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

 upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

I ask you Father to fill and empower me with your Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus Christ.

 Thank you that you say in your word, that if we know how to give good gifts to our children, 

 how much more will you heavenly Father give me the Holy Spirit as  I ask you. 

I therefore receive, accept and embrace the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name in the name of Jesus Christ.

 From today I commit myself to seeking you and to knowing you Lord Jesus Christ. 

I ask you to reveal yourself to me.

I present before you your people in every nation of Planet Earth and ask that they may know you

 the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

 In Jesus Christ'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.

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 be 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.

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.
