Title: It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ that you bear fruit for God and as you do,
God the Father is glorified.
“I am the vine, you are the branches.
He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit;
for without Me you can do nothing.
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you,
you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit;
so you will be My disciples.”John 15:5, 7-8 NKJV.
It is the desire of God in Jesus Christ that you bear fruit for God.
That is why He promised that as we dwell in His presence He will make us exceedingly fruitful.
In Genesis 17:6 (NKJV) His word declares: "I will make you exceedingly fruitful;
and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.”
To bear fruit for God, we need to abide in His word,
having a positive attitude to His word, an attitude that engages His word in the affairs of our lives.
We also need to live in a daily relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer and to be in obedience to Him.
Point of reflection:
God the Father is glorified when you bear fruit for Him.
You need to:
1. Abide in Jesus Christ by acknowledging the sacrifice He made when He suffered,
died and rose again and then acknowledge Him as Lord of your life.
2. Seeking and allowing His word to dwell richly in you and having a positive attitude to it.
3. Having a daily relationship with Him through prayer.
4. Living in obedience to Him by allowing His Holy Spirit to fill you, empower, equip, and guide you. ( Acts 1:8).
Remember that a life of fruitfulness begins by being a life of answered prayer.
Almighty God needs to answer your prayers- allow the Holy Spirit to lead you into the will of God-
because within His will you will pray on target.
Do you desire this?
When you are ready:
Prayer of commitment and consecration:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for sending Jesus Christ to suffer and die for me.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself to you today. I say Lord you can have me as your portion and as your inheritance.
I reject, denounce ad renounce satan and all His demons from the affairs of my life.
I remind you that you were defeated and disarmed publicly and openly by Jesus Christ on the cross.
I have nothing in you and you have nothing in me.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill and empower me by your Holy Spirit right now.
I receive the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.
I commit myself to your word and open my heart to the transforming power of your word upon my life.
I pray for my brethren across Planet Earth Lord that as they seek your word,
and your promises in the power of the Holy Spirit, you may answer them as they cry to you and make their lives fruitful.
I present my petitions to you.................... I present my family to you.................
I present to you the political leaders in this nation, in this continent
and all the nations of Planet Earth in the name of Jesus Christ..............I ask that you grant them wisdom
and that they may rule in the fear of Almighty God..............................
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.
