‭‭John‬ ‭11:25-26‬ ‭KJV.‬‬

In Jesus Christ is the resurrection because Christ

 having been raised from the dead will never die again forever.

 Death has no power over Him. 

When you receive Him as Lord of your life, your spirit is made alive

 and joined to the Spirit of Jesus Christ. 

When your physical body dies your spirit can no longer die 

because it is joined to the spirit of Jesus Christ for all eternity. 

Your spirit is also given the foretaste of eternity-

 the foretaste of eternity is a necessary experience for every child of God 

as it makes you bold to stand for Jesus Christ even at the point of death. 

That is why Stephen in Acts continued preaching Jesus Christ as he was being stoned. (Acts 7:55-60).

Point of reflection:

Being given the foretaste of eternity is a critical experience for every child of God.

 You need to have an experience of eternal life. 

This makes you at peace with the thought that one day you will leave this present body.

 It makes you live knowing you have only one life, 

it will soon be past and only what's done for Jesus Christ will last into all eternity.

 It makes you want to do your best for God  everyday.

 It removes from you the fear of death which has put a lot of people into bondage. 

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” 

Hebrews‬ ‭2:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

Jesus Christ partook of flesh and blood- He took up a human body so that He could die

 and by His resurrection destroy him satan, who had the power of death

 and deliver you totally and completely from bondage of fear of death. 

Glory be to God forever more. 

You therefore need to experience for yourself - resurrection power.

 That is why Philippians 3:10 says “That I may know him,

 and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings,

 being made conformable unto his death;”

‭‭This means to experience His resurrection power you need 

to put on the same frame of mind He had as He suffered, 

and as He died.. for you- appreciate His love for you- and for mankind. 

Take some time to seek an experience of the resurrection life of Jesus Christ

When you are ready-

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father I thank you for salvation and forgiveness of sin

 in the name of the risen Jesus Christ.

I acknowledge you Jesus Christ as Lord of my life from 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 declare 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 with your Holy Spirit right now.

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

 I thank you that Jesus Christ tasted death on my behalf and  by His death and resurrection, 

He destroyed satan to give me an experience of His resurrection power

 and a real time taste of eternal life as well as total and complete victory over fear of death.

I bring before you your people in this nation and across the nations of Planet Earth 

who have been subjected to bondage through the fear of death.

I ask you Father that by an experience of the resurrection power and the

 resurrection life of Jesus Christ, they be totally set free from the bandage of the fear of death.

In Jesus Christ 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.
