Title: To experience the God of Jesus Christ in your life,
it is critical that you be holy as He is holy.
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14 NKJV
“For I am the LORD your God. You shall therefore consecrate yourselves, and you shall be holy; for I am holy.
Neither shall you defile yourselves with any creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
For I am the LORD who brings you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God.
You shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.” Leviticus 11:44-45 NKJV.
Holiness is co-operating with the Holy Spirit in the way you think, the way you talk and the things you do.
Holiness is refusing to co-operate with the enemy of God and mankind satan,
in the way you think, the way you talk and the things you do.
The Holy Spirit is the standard for Holiness. Jesus Christ was hundred percent human
and also one hundred percent God. He lived a holy life.
In every situation you could ask yourself: "In this situation how would Jesus Christ have thought,spoken and acted?"
To answer that question you need to know the word of God, the scriptures.
Knowing the word of God is therefore critical for holiness.
Point of reflection:
His word says in Hebrews 12 as above "Pursue peace with all men and holiness, without which no-one shall see the Lord."
Seeing the Lord referred to here is not just talking about heaven,
it is referring to seeing and experiencing the working of God in this life right here on earth.
Living a holy life is therefore a pre-requisite to experiencing the life of God in your life.
His word goes further to say in Leviticus as above: I am the Lord your God,
consecrate or set yourself apart to serve and worship me alone and be holy, for I am holy.
His word goes further to say: I brought you out of Egypt to be your God,
you shall therefore be holy because I am holy.
Egypt is an image of the life we lived before knowing Jesus Christ and His salvation, the life of bondage to the enemy satan..
The critical point here is that God says He wants "to be your God"
this refers to being your all in all, your everything, your defining attribute in every situation you face and experience,
as the one who puts you in right standing with Him through Jesus Christ, your righteousness first and foremost
and then experiencing Him as our provider and source of all provision,
your guide and shepherd, your giver of peace, joy, well-being and emotional satisfaction,
your healer and giver of health, your victory banner, the One who defends and protects you,
the One who is present with you all the time.
For God to be your God (or reveal Himself to you, to be your all), you need to be holy
(see planetministries.org.uk/message/promises/IwillbeGodtoyou).
Putting it differently holiness is a necessary pre-requisite to experience God- because that is His nature.
Its like getting wet- you need to jump into the pool- you could scream and shout all you want outside the pool-
to get wet you need to jump in. To keep wet you need to remain in.
Receiving Jesus Christ gives you access to the pool, holiness keeps you in the water.
To live a holy life you need to know God and to overcome the wicked one through a strong conviction of His word. (1John 2:12-14).
His word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalms 119:105).
The psalmist says in Psalm 119:11(NKJV):
Your word have I hidden in my heart that I may not sin against you.
To live a holy life you also need to be filled with the Holy Spirit who will be your inner compass.
By the Holy Spirit, God will put His laws in your mind and write them in your heart ( Hebrews 8:10).
Steps to holiness:
a) Acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord- you become a born again child of God.
b) Set yourself apart and consecrate yourself for Almighty God- this is a decision followed by a declaration you make-
I am yours Lord with all that I am and with all that I am not I give myself to you.
(adjust your lifestyle, embrace the word of God and a life of prayer)
c) Reject the enemy satan and his demons- this is a decision followed by a declaration, followed by action-
satan and demons I reject you, you have nothing in me and I have nothing in you,
you were defeated publicly by Jesus Christ on the cross- I command you to let me go and serve my God.
(If you have any charms, or items of demonic, satanic worship get rid of them,
adjust your lifestyle to rid of activities associated with satanic activity).
d) Be filled with the Holy Spirit- He will empower you, lead you and guide you- He is the game-changer.
e) Continue in the word and in prayer and let your mind be renewed daily-
and as this happens you begin to grow in the knowledge of Almighty God.
Do you desire this?
When you are ready-
Prayer of consecration:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for sending your Son to suffer and die for my sin.
I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I set myself apart and consecrate myself to live for you and to serve you Lord.
I reject every working, every deception and every influence of the enemy satan and his demons in my life 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 the abundant outpouring of your Spirit upon my life right now in the name of Jesus Christ
I present my life, my family to you...................
I present this Ministry to you.............................. lead, guide and direct.....
Today Father we remember Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Ukraine, Russia, Myanmar, DRC Congo, Sudan, Venezuela, Mozambique, Yemen
and every other part of the world where there is war, unrest and strife and bring them before you.
We bring before you the defenceless victims of war.................
You Lord who makes wars to cease from the ends of the earth-
we ask you right now Father to intervene in the name of Jesus Christ. Do Father that which only God can do.
We bring the world leaders before you and ask you by your Spirit to direct them in the way of righteousness.
We come against the principalities of war and bloodshed and in the name of Jesus Christ
command you to cease your operations right now.
You were defeated, disarmed, stripped naked and humiliated publicly by Jesus Christ on the cross.
We take authority over you, right now in the name of Jesus Christ.
In the name of Jesus Christ we 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.
