Title: Always aim for excellence in all you do in the service of Almighty God.
“And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth?
and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?
and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.” Genesis 4:6-7 KJV.
In all you do in the service of Almighty God, ask that your service be acceptable to Him.
Always cry for the grace for excellence in the service of Almighty God.
Here we see the story of Cain who brought an offering to God but it was not acceptable before Him.
His brother Abel also brought an offering, which pleased God.
The Lord asked Cain a question- If you do well, will you not be accepted?
Understand this was not to do necessarily with quantity but with the heart or attitude
by which this offering was given.
It was not given with the attitude of honouring Almighty God.
Remember the widow who honoured Almighty God with her mite - Jesus Christ declared she had given more than all. (Luke 21:2-4).
Remember Jesus Christ died and shed His blood so that you may be accepted by God.
He took His own blood into the Holy of Holies
in heaven and presented it before the throne of God.
God accepted the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ on behalf of every person.
When you come to God now always come in the name of
and under the cover of Jesus Christ because in Jesus Christ
you are accepted by God.
Remember Jesus Christ is referred to as Wonderful- which means Excellence
in Isaiah 9:6.
His word also says
"O Lord our God, How excellent is your name in all the earth". Psalms 8:9 KJV.
Psalms 36:7 says "How excellent is thy loving kindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. KJV.
The apostle Paul in Phillipians 3:8 says he counted all things
to be loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord.
Therefore know that in Jesus Christ lies excellence.
Let therefore the Jesus Christ in you propel you to excellency in everything you do.
The key is a heart that is totally sold out to Him.
He conquered satan and He conquered sin (Colossians 2:15)
and was given dominion over satan and over sin (Revelations 5:5)
and released the enabling power by which we can obey God in all we do.
Glory be to God forevermore.
Call for Action:
In Jesus Christ you are perfected.
You are complete in Him (Colossians 2:10).
As you yield to the authority of Jesus Christ,
the enabling power of God manifests through you.
Things you could never do on your own, you will succeed in doing.
Desire excellence and ask for excellence of Jesus Christ
in all you do in the service of God and in everything else you do.
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for my redemption.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you. I say Lord you can have me
as your portion and as your inheritance.
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 speak that you are judged
in my body, in my life and in my affairs in the name of Jesus Christ.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill and empower me by 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.
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for victory over
every negative trait in my life through Jesus Christ who defeated satan and demons.
I plead the covering of the blood of Jesus Christ upon my life today.
I yield to you and to your word today Lord and accept the empowering of your Holy Spirit.
I receive the power for obedience and excellence through Jesus Christ in all I do.
Lord you desire all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Today we remember political leaders in this nation and across Planet Earth,
we ask for grace and a politics that empowers your people
to preach Jesus Christ freely in every nation of Planet Earth.
We remember the troubled areas of the world today and ask you Father,
you who causes wars to cease from the ends of the earth,
to intervene and prevent blood shed.
Pour out righteousness, pour out salvation.
Let the earth be filled with knowledge of Almighty God as the waters cover the sea.
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. 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.
