That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me.
I am the LORD, and there is no other;
“Rain down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,
And let righteousness spring up together.
I, the LORD, have created it. Isaiah 45:6, 8 NKJV.
The word of God teaches us that when the Son of Man Jesus Christ is lifted up,
He will draw men to Himself.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son
so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish or come to destruction
but should have everlasting, eternal life (John 3:14-16).
Our duty is to lift up Jesus Christ in all we do.
He will draw many to Himself.
Point of reflection:
We lift up Jesus Christ as we exalt the name of the Father, as we declare His goodness in our lives.
As we talk with grace, glory and goodness.
As we let the goodness of God in us affect those around us.
The creation is awaiting for the manifestation of the children of God (Romans 8:19).
As children of God manifest the nature of God in them (the God-kind) they lift up Jesus Christ.
Walk in victory child of God, let the reality of the Jesus Christ in you show itself forth to the world.
Cry for the manifestation of the Christ through you.
For this to happen you need to allow the word of God
to take root in you so that you experience its reality in your everyday life by faith.
Experience the joy of God which is unspeakable or inexpressible,
the peace of God which passes all understanding, and show forth the confidence and self-assurance
which only come through the experience of the divine.
The world around you will see that you exude and exhibit the Jesus Christ nature- the God-kind
and will want to explore and find out what it is that God has given to you
and that made you to become what you are and who you are.
When this happens those around you will want to be like you.
We also lift up Jesus Christ to the world as we pray for Almighty God to reveal Himself in the lives of people, for salvation of souls,
as we pray the Lord of the harvest to bring forth labourers into His harvest,
as we pray for the word of the Lord to be preached in power with manifestation of undeniable miracles.
Glory be to God forevermore.
Do you desire that? When you are ready-
Prayer of commitment:
Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for salvation in Jesus Christ.
I open my heart to you Lord Jesus Christ, I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as Lord of my life today.
I renounce every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.
I ask you Father in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.
Thank you Father for allowing me to manifest the Christ nature in my life.
I pray Father that you pour out your Holy Spirit upon Planet Earth,
which will cause your righteousness to rain O God.
Pour down your salvation O God that the whole earth may be filled
with the knowledge of the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
Let your word go forth with power and manifest signs,
undeniable miracles through the name of your Son Jesus Christ.
We ask you Lord of the harvest, to send forth labourers into your harvest......
Raise men and women of power and vision in this community, in this nation,
in this continent and across Planet Earth..........
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.
