Title:  Be armed with prayer and supplications. 

“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, 

and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, 

that I may open my mouth boldly, 

to make known the mystery of the gospel. ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:17-19‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

It is the will of God in Jesus Christ that every child of God be armed with prayer and supplications. 

The word of God teaches us that

 1. We are at war. 

2. The enemy we are fighting is not physical but satan and his forces of darkness.

 3. The weapons we must deploy in this war include the shield of  faith-

 by which we must quench (extinguish, put out, snuff out) the fiery darts of the enemy. 

Faith is a defensive weapon.

  You need to take also offensive,

 or attacking weapons- the nuclear missile, hand grenade, 

machine gun of the  of the Holy Spirit which is the word of God.

 That is why His word says in Colossians 3:16:

 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom;

 teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns 

and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”


‭‭His word also admonishes us in Joshua 1:8:

"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth;

 but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, 

that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: 

for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, 

and then thou shalt have good success.”


‭‭Armed with the word of God we then need to pray all manner of prayers and 

supplications in the Spirit for all saints but also for people in general

 so that they may come to know the salvation of Jesus Christ.

Point of reflection: 

When armed with the word of God,

 you begin to think like God, as He reveals His ways to you.

 You also build yourself in the faith as faith comes by hearing the word of God. (Romans 10:17).

 Knowing the word of God is therefore at the centre of everything you can do for God. 

The word of God is critical  armour. The other components of this armour are- the helmet of salvation-

  which is understanding righteousness, sonship, holiness, redemption and a continuous positive attitude in Jesus Christ. 

The belt of truth- the correct understanding of the word of Almighty God.

Therefore knowing, memorizing the word of God

 makes you a decorated soldier for Jesus Christ.

 Do you desire that?

Call for Action:

Will you commit to memorise a scripture per day? 

Pick a verse of scripture, read it a few times to yourself and memorise it.

 As you do that and make it a habit by the end of the year, you will have known at least 365 scriptures.

After that take time to pray- always remember to pray for salvation of souls, 

for the saints and spiritual leaders and also to present your own needs before Almighty God.

When you are ready-

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father, I thank you for salvation and forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ.

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

I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you. 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 upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

I declare the judgement of Jesus Christ upon you in my body, in my life,

and in the lives of those you must let go to serve Almighty God.

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

I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

 Thank you for your word Lord the offensive weapon of the Holy Spirit.

 I commit myself to studying your word everyday so that

 I become a well decorated soldier of Jesus Christ.

I commit myself to pray and intercede for salvation of souls and for your servants across Planet Earth.

I pray father for your power to be seen openly as you heal,

deliver the sick and raise the dead. I release your power of provision for every need in the work of the Ministry across Planet Earth.

Thank you Father for giving to us the treasures of darkness and the hidden treasures in secret places.

Thank you Father for opening your good treasury. Thank you Father that the gold is yours and the silver is yours.

Today we speak to every mountain; "Who are you O great mountain of human obstacles, before Zerubbabel you shall become like a plain."

 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.
