Title: When you hold fast to the word of God in Jesus Christ,
you become an overcomer to whom God promises a crown.
“Behold, I am coming quickly!
Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown.
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God,
and he shall go out no more.
I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God,
the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God.
And I will write on him My new name.” Revelation 3:11-12 NKJV.
It is critical for the child of God that you take on yourself an overcoming spirit.
Overcoming the wicked one happens when we have a strong conviction of the word of God
and have known and have had a personal experience of God and of His Son Jesus Christ.
1 John 2:13-14 tells us: "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.
I have written to you, fathers, because you have known Him who was 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."
The beginning point in all this is (following receiving Jesus Christ and being filled with the Holy Spirit)
a commitment to study and meditate upon the word of God prayerfully- this will result in increased strength of conviction
and in turn will lead to a knowledge of the Father as you put that word into practice and experience the Father for yourself.
The result of studying the word, a strong conviction and knowing the Father is overcoming the wicked one.
Point of reflection:
A strong conviction of the word results from meditating on the word of God prayerfully,
the word of God then becomes alive inside you.
There are benefits of holding fast on His word,
having a strong conviction of the word and knowing God personally and becoming an overcomer.
Firstly there is a crown of glory reserved for overcomers of the wicked one-
God will put His crown of glory and His goodness upon you. The crown of glory speaks of victory in the affairs of this life.
Whatever you do will prosper. His crown of glory comes with wisdom for success in the affairs of this life.
Secondly, overcomers are made pillars in the house of Jesus Christ- right here on this earth-
a distinguished person, a resource person, a giver of fruit and imparter of hope.
A light that shines in dark areas of other people,
a salt, flavoring and condiment in the life of others.
Thirdly to overcomers Almighty God promises to write His name upon you
and the name of the city of God, the new Jerusalem.
You become the place where the different aspects of the life of God is found.
The different manifestations of the manifold wisdom of God. Wow!
Glory be to God.
Overcoming the wicked one starts from within,
allowing the word of God to root out negative character traits and allowing it to change the way you think so that your
life manifests the life and character of Jesus Christ.
Do you desire this?
Take some time to commit yourself to a deeper relationship with the word of Almighty God.
When you are ready-
Prayer:
Heavenly Father I thank you that through your Son Jesus Christ I can know you personally.
Thank you that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead and is alive today.
I confess you Jesus Christ as Lord of my life from 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 and mine 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.
In the name of Jesus Christ I cast you out of the affairs of my life and ministry.
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.
I pray for the grace to hold fast onto your word and allow your word to change me on the inside.
I commit myself to your word, to meditate upon it prayerfully.
I receive the grace to overcome the wicked one satan, knowing that he was defeated,
stripped naked and disarmed publicly and openly by Jesus Christ on the cross.
I bring before you your servants, the labourers in the harvest and ask
for your grace upon their lives to experience the power of your word and to overcome the wicked one.
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.
